FIRE ISLAND, September 13,-The pas
sengers of the steamer Cepheus were land
ed at s: 10 p. m. on the dock in front OF the
Surf Hotel.
FIRE ISLAND, N. Y, September 13.-
Great hustle followed the arrival of the
passengers at the hotel. Considering the
fact that 500 guests arrived within nve
minutes, it was natural that some confu-
sion should result.
Every one was good natured, however,
and waited patiently until assigned to his
quarters. Such progress was made oy the
temporary hotel clerks that inside OF two
| hours all were comfortably located. No
distinction was made in the disposition OF
rooms. 1t was all lottery, but there was
no growing, every one was 100 happy.
Gray haired men jumped about In the
sand like boys. The second caoinspaSsen-
| gers were put in the westerly end and the
| first cabin in the easterly. At 6:3O supper
was served. 1t would be difficult TO hnd
happier crowd than that which filled the
dining room. Conventionalities were cast
| aside Every one knew every one else, and
congratulations were shoWered from every
quarter of the room.
No strict quarantine swas maintained.
| Had they thought of il, one-halt the pas
| sengers could have walked up the snore
half a mile, hired catboatS and sailed TO
! the main shore wind storm is now
raging and all the passengers are thankful
that they are not on the Cepheus tonight.
In reply TO the offer of the men from lslep
10 withdraw the Injunction if the Cover
nor would promise 10 sell the Motel. MI.
| Flower sent this telegram:
New York, September 13.
To S. 4. Jennings:
"Your dispatch received and your prop
esition declined. The conduct Of the peo-
pie "a Islip in refusing shelter to the pas
| sengers of the Normannia, and In
attempting by mob force to pre-
vent their landing on State property
is a disgrace to our Commonwealth. The
State accepts no terms from laW-oreaKerS
except submission TO its authority. Your
proposition is an insult to the Executive
and the State.

Governor"
