ONLY a FEW FEATUREs
ofths switehmon's Strike Remain-Grand
Master sweenoy's Position.

BuFFA1o, N. Y, August 26.-There
remains to the Buffalo strike situation
only q few features. The frat in i'm
portance is the question as to what dis
turbance may yet be made by those
strikers who, unable to regain their old
places, are bitter and threatening. The
discontents have asked Vice Master
Miles Barrett, OF Kansas City, and also
Chairman Hutchinson, of tho board Of
trustees, to accept the championship. OF
the waning causes and push out again:
Mr.. Barrett was urged that II he told
them to take up the strike where
Sweeney laid it down and carry 1t to
victory nothing could prevent him be-
ing made grand master at the conven
tion OF the order this autumn. Officer
Barrett responded, however, that he
had no authority under the laws OF the
order to undertake any work OF the
kind presented for his championship.
Chairman Hutchinson also would have
nothing to do with the movement.
Some hot heads might remain tretiul
and ugly for tho time, but the strike
was dead one officially and there was
no official who could encourage any be-
lief to the contrary.
A charge that Mr.. Sweeney sold out
the men was flying about from mouth
to mouth and was heard on every side.
As such reports are wont to do, they
lack form and even pretended to say
what tho sum was which Sweeney was
said to have got. These reports showed
how bitter the feeling was against him.
The truth is, however, that when MIR.
Sweeney was in conference with the
heads OF other orders on Wednesday he
was advised and urged to declare the
strike of. He was obdurate, but leav-
ing the conference he entered the room
of Arbitration Commissioners Donovan.
Donovan urged that the wtsest course
was to declare the strike of. why, l
can yet tic up the trunk lines from New
York to Chicago" protested Mr.. swee-
ney. He felt he could not give up for a
week yet but he finally, after long dis
cussion, said: II know the advice you
give me is good and / will act on 1t; but
I'll get hell for calling it of now. You
don't know these men as do, said he
to Donovan.
@Will you do this thing to night"
asked the commissioner.
Eyes, SHALL" was the reply, and
from the commissioner Mr.. Sweeney
went directly to conference with vice
master Barrett, trustee Hutchinson,
local master Moriarity and some 9TH
ers. At the end of thoir conference the
strike was declared of.
Orders for the movement homewards
OF the troops have been issued. These
orders send away from the city all but
the members of the 4th brigade, which
numbers about 2, 1000 men.
Reports from the camps this morn
ing showed that the night passed un-
eventful. No disturbance Of any conse-
quence was reported.

AurHoRITIEs CONCERNED
About the Cholera Reports from Europe
but Not mt All Alarmed.

About the Cholera Reports from Europe,
but Not at. All Alarmed.
WASHINGTON, D. O., August 26.-The
officials of the government having
charge of enforcement of the quarantine
laws Of the country arc unquestionably
much concerned over the serious hold
the epidemic of cholera has taken in
Europe and view thesituation as regards
the admission of the disease into the
United States with some alarm, though
they feel fullyprepared andable to cope
with it in case by any chance cholera
should become an epidemic here, Q
thing, however, not at all anticipated
here. The marine hospital service,
which is Immediately under the super
vision of the treasury department,
has all matters relating to the quaran-
tine service in charge, and Is better able
than since its establishment to prevent
the introduction OF the disease into the
United States. OF late years the system
OF quarantine has been greatly i'm
proved, and at all the stations along
our seaboard new disinfecting appa-
ratus, boarding steamers and other ap-
pliances have been provided to detect
and prevent disease from being brought
into this country by vessels from
abroad.
An official of tho service in compar-
ing the methods and practices by our
country and those Of England spoke q
ours as by far the better. England, he
said, did not believe in quarantine, us
it too greatly interfered with COM
merce, and in that country after the
passengers and vessels have been disln-
iected let them proceed to their destin-
alton, keeping them, however, under
surveillance until danger OF contagion
is past.
On the other hand our system pro-
yides for the detention OF all vessels
coming from a country where disease
has become epidemic until all possible
danger Is averted. Tie cases OF the
two cholera stricken patients found in
England to-day was pointed out as IN
example of the danger which might arise
through the operations Of the English
quarantine system, o thing which
could never occur here in the opinion
OF Surgeon General Wyman, owing to
the nature of our laws requiring deten-
ton for two or three days OF vessels
coming from infected countries. =. =.
While not anticipating disease
might be brought in over the Canadi-
an border from Europe, Us part OF the
general policy that an ounce OF preven-
tion is better than pound Of cure,
steps have been taken by him to
preventanysuch occurrence, and to-day,s
orders were sent to DR.. Stoner at Detroit
to make a report upon the immigrants
coming in through Detroit and the lake
ports with view to enforcing their
circular, which prohibits the entry Of
immigrants baggage without previous
disinfection.

In Venezuela Between Government Troops
and the ReVolutioniSts.
New Yonx, Aug. 2G.-The steamship

palIy. As reported in telegraphic dis.
patches n severe engagement took place
iust before the steamer sailed at
Cinadad, details OF which are not at
hand. The government forces forced
the rebels to retreat.
The consurs advices from the gov
ernment at Caracas contain news Of
bloody fight between General Mendoza
and Vallonilla that took place August
lG, near Villade 0uara, in which 1900
men are said to have been killed or
wounded. The battle continued for
several hours with varying success.
The modern rifles and better training
OF the government produced great loss
on the other side.
Both sides seemed to have become
crazed and fought furiously. Tho dead
Law on all sides and the wounded were
trampled on as the scene Of conflict
changed from place to place. 1t was
discovered that 500 OF the 800 govern
ment forces had been killed and the
government estimated that the revolu-
tionists had lost 1000 men.

NEw YoRK, August 26.-The health
officials in New York are to-day pre-
pared to fight of the scourges OF

here, aud they fully realize that every
vessel from this time on arrives in port
from the infected districts in Europe is
source Of danger and that each one
must be watched with closest scrutiny.
DR.. Edison, sanitary superintendent
of city board OF health, thinks cholera
will undoubtedly reach, this port within

seven days. The sick will be removed
and placed in hospitals, all baggage as
well rs the vessel will be treated with
steam and all parts, Of the vessel not
subjected to steam will be washed
with solution Of bichloride Of mer-
curry.

German, French and Italian and dis
tributed broadcast as soon as the first
case Of cholera is reported here. It

the proper care OF the person and prem
ises TO prevent tho spread OF the con-
tagion.
In addition to this an inspection OF
all tenement houses in tho city has
