board the Normannia, where so many saloon
passengers are detained. in spite of the fact
that the scourge seems TO be attacking the
steamships crew and steersge passengers
alone.
The Scandia left the plague-stlcken port
of Hamburg August q loaded with 1886
persons. She had the enormous number OF
9S1 steerage and y cabin passengers and II
members Of her crew. Before she had been
many days out the cholera broke out and
before she arrived the pest was fairly rag
ing on board of her. Thirty-nine cases oe-
Cured in half week OF these thirty-two
suceumbed before she arrived at lower
quarantine anchorage. One by one, by
couples and by threes the bodies OF the IN
fortunate victims were dropped overheard
DR.. Byron boarded all the vessels at mid
night and found all well on board the Nor
mania, Rugia, Morayia and Wyoming. But
when be visited the Scandis be found this
terrible tale Of disaster and trouble There
are still seven virulent cases on board, and
tiese DR.. Byron had removed TO Swinburne
Island.
The Scandal is the first vessel to arrive
thoroughly infected with cholera.
The Scandia has it from her bow to her
stern, from the main deck TO the keelson.
Cabin passengers, crew and emigrants all
have il, are in the midst of it, and she VIII
probably be the hardest cholera importer TO
fight of the lot.
As though the Scsndia was not enough
for one night another horror was added to
the situation. Yesterday the Wyoming
was only on the suspect list, now, at
o'clock in the morning, she can be classed
as a cholera ship.
Mrs. Person, the mother of the two
little children, Elias and Adelaide, who
died yesterday Of the suspicious disease,
herself succumbed to the dread disease.
She, with three more, were removed from
the Wyoming during late IN the forenoon
yesterday. They were placed in the hos
pital and Mrs. Person died during the
night.
The Herald bas sent telegraphic circular
to the United States Consuls in Europe con-
cerning the cholera, and has received nu-
merous replies. The answers prove that
there is not the least ground for the alarm
that Europe or even Asia is upon the eve of
witnessing one of those awful plaques which
in past enturies desoated whole countries.

TIE GovERSoR INVOKED.
Passengers on the NOrmsnnia Complain
Against the Health Officials.


Against the Health officials.
New YORK, Sept 9.-An appeal was to-
day addressed to Governor Flower, signed
by committee of the passengers, first and
second class, of the steamer Normannia,
protesting against being kept prisoners
aboard the cholera-infected ship. The petit
tion is signed by committee consisting en-
tirely of physicians.
Among other charges against DR.. jenkins
Is the allegation that health officers only
visit the vessel every two or three days,
make no systematic and regular inspection.
and that dead bodies remain on the vessel
dangerously long time before the removal
by the health authorities. In conclusion
these physicians say:
ut seems inconceivable that 800 hereto
fore healthy people should be uuarantiued
on board an infected ship, and that 1t is i'm
possible 10 isolated them at place thus far
not infected" They emphasize this point
so much more. as from all appearances the
measures taken to disin feet the Normannia
have been incomplete and void of that
speedy, energetic and systematic mode of
proceeding which is necessary to efficiently
eOunteract the damaging influence TO which
all are exposed. In reference to these points
they submit the following:
"First-At no time have there been facili-
ties TO remove the sick Immediately after
the onset of cholera symptoms. Even the
dead bodies have been kept on board for
twenty-four hours or more.
''Seeond-At no time has an official,
thorough inspection of the ship been made,
nor have any measures been taken with
regard TO disinfection, except such as were
possible with an insufficient supply Of dis
injecting material carried on board.
'Third-Disinfecting material has not
been promptly furnished in spite of the re-
quest of the ships authorities. Their de-
mand made on Saturday, September 8. to
place on board the ship an official expert TO
supervise and execute thorough disnfec-
ti0n, has not been complied with.
"Fourih-The water supply OF the ship
has not been taken care of in proper way,
although by Monday morning the tanks
were clean and ready to receive fresh water
Such is not ON board at the present bour.

threw him into the alley. Four hours later

This Story Captain O'Brien Did Not Tell
the Newspapers.
EMPIRE CITY, Or, Sept 9-At about 12
o'clock to-day the tug Hunter. with Mr..
Elijah Smith of Boston, S. r. Davis and
John kruse of this place aboard crossed
out over the Coos Bay bar and steamed up
within three hundred yards of the wrecked
whaleback steamer. They went with the
intention of boarding her. and took the life
saving crew in tow with them, but it was
too Rough to handle the boat on account of
the surf running so high. They waited until
4 O'Clock and gave it up.
They report that the steamer has changed
her position and now lies headed south by
east. The sea is breaking over her and
there is very little hope of saving anything.
Captain OBrien has not yet returned
from the beach. The parties that went out
on the tug say she don't look so badly bro
ken up, but think she is leaking and that
she is now full Of water.
At 6 O'Clock the eXcursionists returned.
Some OF the passengers who saw Captain
OBrien say that the cause Of the wreck was
that he was rushed away from Tacoma by
one of the owners of the steamer and was
not given time enough to trim the cargo. It
is on that account she listed and his eonl-
pass would not act as it should.
The intention now is to try again To-
morrow with tugs and life-saving crew and
three boats to get to the wreck.
