PLAGUE FACTS WITHHELD.

The American Consul at Havre Says tn.
neutrality-suspicious. Company Denied
There Was Cholera on the Rucia-Hou
Cherbourg Was Kept Free From the
Pestience-Dr. Jenkins Forewarned
and Defended.
NEW YORK, Sept 13.-[Specidl. MR. O.
F. Williams, United States Consul at Havre,
arrived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to.
night He was passenger on
La Champagne which arrived at
quarantine on Sunday morning. and was de-
tanned until to-day. Mr.. Williams said:
''Cherbourg is my district, and 1 sailed
from there on Saturday, September
g.. There was no cholera at
Cherbourg then. In Havre
on Friday, September 2, there were ID
deaths, on Thursday II, and on Wed
nesday 35. The disease was owing
in part to the most rigid and care
tul publication of the city by the
engines for cleaning the cutters and the
houses OF the poor. The poor were pro-
vided with accommodations in the
barracks of the Chamber of Commerce, and
disinfectants were placed in all the cutters,
and together with medicines were given to
the poor
II believe that the facts have been with
held from American Consuls at infected
ports in Europe. As an instance, when the
Rugia, of the Hamburg American packet
line, was ready to depart from Havre, her
agent brought me clean bill of health for
my use This bill L refused to honor,
and she was compelled to leave
Havre for New York without it. She did
hav 0la hnr
she was nine days out cholera appeared
and deaths occurred For two weeks
before l left l refused to give the Ham,
burg American packet steamships bills of
health. As a consequence, the compa-
ny's ships did not call at the port
OF Havre. They were provided with clean
bills from Hamburg, which was due proba-
bly, to the fact that the Consul at that port
was not permitted to know the truth
concerning the cholera. 1 had my own diff
culties in discovering that there was cholera
in Havre But after the discovery was
made cabled Assistant Secretary Wharton
'Asiatic cholera here. Many deaths Fscts
suppressed. Inspect Touraine.' That
cable was sent from Washington to DIR.
Jenkins. 1t prepared him, and, although
there was no sickness on the Touraine, it
put DR.. Jenkins and the Government on
guard.
Last night, OF La Champagne, meet
ing of the passengers was called for the pur-
pose of denouncing DR.. Jenkins 1t was nv
good fortune to speak at the meeting.
L said that DR.. jenkins was presumably
capable official; that his duties
were most arduous and the embarrassments
of his position had been multiplied
by the presence of cholera; that
the prevention of an invasion of cholera in
New York was of vastly greater importance
than the detention of a few hun
dred passengers on shipboard; that
Dr. Jenkins was as desirous OF" permitting
US to land as we were of landing; that it
was our duty to support him rather than to
criticise his action. The meeting adjourned
and was not recOnvened. 1 do not know
DIR. jenkins, and he is of the opposite
political faith from mine, but, in my judg-
ment, he is doing his utmost with most en-
barrassing environments

Is Wnat some Republicans Think the Re-
suit in Maine will Prove to Belt
Ought to Make the Workers Wake Up
and RedoubIe Their Efforts
w1AonINGroN, Sept I3.-I SpecidL l.
Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, was
in the city to-day on his way west from
New York, and give il as his opinion that
the reduced Republican majority In
Maine will be of benefit, as it will make
the Republicans wake up and double their
efforts. The Senator says the betting in
New York is in favor of the Republicans.
Secretary Foster, of the Treasury Depart
ment, said to-day, in regard to the Maine
election: 'The reason that the Republican
majority was not larger was that our people
did not vote. There was no excitement
over the election, it being regarded
as sure thing anyhow. We
were all informed as to the sit
uation. Mckinley has told us all along
that ne would not be able to get out the
full Republican vote at this September
election. do not think the lack of inter-
est will extend to the November election.
TN 1880, you know, we lost the State at
the September election, but we had it all
right IN November. remember that the
Ohio thought it would be good idea to
have lot of meetings on the night follow
ing the Maine State election in 1880, 30 that
the returns might be read by the speaker
from the platform. I spoke at Urbana. 1
waited until the last to speak, so as to read
the returns spoke for an
hour, looking around every now
and then for the messenger
boy who never came. Afterward 1 learned
that some news from Maine had been re-
ceived, but it had not been thought wise to
have 1t announced at the emeeting.
''There was no significance in the Demo-
cratic victory then, and there is no signif-
canoe in the reduction of our ma
iority now. 1 do moi think there is
going to be any lack of interest
in Maine or in any other Republican State
in November. stand by the prediction I
made you short time ago, that the Demo-
Gratis will not carry single Northern State

Y ork are very confident.

SIR EDWIN ARNOLD ATTACKED.
A Missionary From Japan InduIges in
Significant Innuendo.

A Missionary From Japan InduIges in a
Significant Innuendo.
CHICAGO, ILL, Sept 13.-The Rev. NJ,
Bartlett, young missionary sent to
Japan by the American Board of
Missions, created a breeze at the
meeting of the Congregational minis
ters to-day by attacking Sir Edwin Arnold,
the English poet and editor. Mr.. Bartlett
was relating his experience in japan, tell
ing how great the impiety and general con-
tempt for missionaries was among the Japan
ese, when one of the brethren interrupted
him by asking:
''Is this conduct toward missionaries
caused by the general impiety of the
people?"
The young Missionary quickly answered:
ut Is caused by the conduct OF certain
travellers, notably among them Sir
Edwin Arnold. His conduct while in
japan, if enlarged upon, would GER
tsinly not be tolerated in America
1t might pass in the gay courts of European
kings and princes. and would be particularly
suitable to the court of Louis XIV. These
are facts, and am not speaking from mere
rumor. 1 dislike to make these illusions
to Sir Edwin Arnold, but they are true"
Mr. Bartlett proceeded to say that the
missionaries were everywhere looked upon
with contempt The English and Ameri-
can merchants were quite as disrespectful
and famed the fire. Daily the newspapers
were filled with screeds attacking the mis-
sionaries, and altogether they had hard
time of it.

Church, not to be commended for upholding
Presbyterian doctrine?"
Rev. Fox We can't grant it; it is Q most
preposterous idea and / can't see why it
should not be disapproved by Brother Nc
Crory.
Proposed to Look After Heresy.
Rev. McKallip-propose the refusal of the
request and the continuance of the commit
tee. He thought that if there was any heresy
going it ought to be looked after. SIT Is
rather startling" said he, "to learn that the
Holy Spirit is not common possession of
the churches. The possession of the Holy
Spirit gives unity, but this proposes disin-
tegration."
DR.. Kennedy declared that the Presby-
terry had made a mistake in the Bausman
case by delay and roundaboutness and that
there was dauger of falling into the same
trap. He urged the members to decline to
grant the organization and if there was any
thing wrong to appoint committee and 60

Elder RAIDER declared that two years ago
he would have looked at things in the same

himself on record in this wise: Il have

iars and anything in opposition to Presby-
terianism ought to be set down upon.
don't think some of the things they have
said came from hearts consecrated."
After some further discussion a motion
was made by Rev. DR.. Fox that special
committee be appointed to confer with the
session of the Oak Grove Church and with
the Rev. Mr. McCrory and with all other
persons whom it may be necessary to con-
suit in order that the Presbytery may be
more fully informed as to the grounds of
any dissatisfaction that may exist with the
other churches of the neighborhood and may
act intelligently for its removal.
The motion was carried unanimously and
the following committee was appointed:
DR.. w. o. Campbell, of Sewickley, Chair
man, and Rev. Ors Newton Donaldson, of
Bellevue, and j. L. Reed, of LeetsdaIe
DR.. Campbell was Chairman of the Com
mittee OF Investigation in the Bausman
case. Presbytery then adjourned to meet
in the Providence Church of Allegheny the
second Tuesday of December at A. M.

in the Interests of
A FUSION WITH THE POPULIsTs.
New York Democrats Celebrate Over the
News From Maine.
POLITICAL MATTERS GETTING LIVELY

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I rVsr
! WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The Star pub
fishes this evening, from its special corre-
spondent at Montgomery, Ala, the follow
ing in regard to the recent visit of G.. L.
Magee:
''The visit of "Chris" Magee, of Pitts
burg, was the event in the recent history of
Alabama politics He came unheralded,
and his mission was conducted so quietly
that it was not generally known he was
in the State until the day before his
departure. His coming has naturally
awakened interest among the adherents of
MIR. Cleveland, who profess to see in this
visit unmistakable evidence of contem-
plated invasion by the Republican National
Committee, and accordingly the danger
signal has been duly hoisted by the Mont
gomery advertiser and the old guards sum-
moned to assemble and be prepared to
march at moments notice.
Mr.. Maree Had Little to Say.
'It Mr.. Magee was cognizant of the ex-
citing pitch to which his quiet little visit
wrought up our political quidnuncs, he did
little and said less (publicly, at least) while
here to betrav it. His studied indifference
to public notice while in this city,
and his careful avoidance of all inter-
views rendered him a poor subject for
newspaper men, and all that could be
authoritativelv said about the we'll known
Pennsylvania had to be based on previous
knowledge of his history and views There
were, however, some overt acts BY which 1t
is fair to interpret the meaning of his
visit to Alabama at this time His
conference at Selma with prominent Third
party and Republican leaders; his visit to
ex-Commissioner Kolb in this city, and to
Chairman Bawman, of the Kolb Democracy
committee at Birmingham, are facts that
Will support the statement that the Penn
sylvanian's mission was strictly political
As a consequence to q general belief in this
can and Peoples party in Alabama are rife.
Belief in Contemplated Fusion.
''Belief among organized Democrats in
contemplated fusion of the two parties is
greatly strengthened by the positive utter
ances of the Montgomery Advertiser, which
has long been regarded as the organ of the
such is supposed by its partisans to speak
by the card on things political
The Advertiser claims to know that
Mr. Magee was sent to Alabama to execute
an important trust. If this be fact, most
likely the country will be enlightened to
its exact character on the 14th of this
month, when the Peoples party will meet
in convention at Birmingham to formally
organize and nominate candidates for Con-
gress from the nine districts"
The secret of Mr.. Magee's VISIT if there
be one, will then, in all probability, be
disclosed, and the predictions it has in
spired refuted or verified. Until that event
the name of Chris Magee will be
used to conjure up many political yarn,
out of which more or less sensation will be
extracted.

q
Chance to Knock It Out
TOPEKA, Sept 13-The German-Ameri-

convention to-day. Delegates were present
from nearly every county in the State. The
object of the league is to secure resubmis-
sion to vote of the people of the prohibi-
tory amendment. The Germans, in their
organized capacity, decided to not affiliate
with any party, but to vote their solid
strength for Legislative candidates pledged
to favor resubmission of the prohibitory
amendment. Congressional organizers were
selected to thoroughly organize each county
in their respective districts and to carry on
an aggressive campaign.
The leaders are confident that in the many
close fights between the Populists and the
Republicans in Legislative districts
pledges can be secured in sufficient num-
bers to assure the election of resubmis-
sion Legislature.
