the premises. The testimony of to-day.
like that of yesterday. was that man had
stood between the latticework and the
closet on line with the front Of the closet.
The tracks showed only front parts of the
foot, as the heels made no impression. The
officer searched with lamp and saw no
other tracks on the inside of tie fence. On
the outside leading south through the alley
other tracks were found. Some pieces of
rope were found hanging on the lattice
work. About twenty feet north on a post

Tie witness examined the cartridges from
both pistols and pronounced them both
alike. The wholesale dealers do not keep a

reason for SO much insurance that he ex-
pected to take very active part In politics

he was running. Flo gave the witness to

OF a political faction in Fresno. McWhirter
said he told this deliberately to Lame In
order that Lame might know Of it if any
thing should happen.

are on board.
The cabin passengers, who have been
free from any sign of disease, are still kept
like rats in a trap, inclosed within the
sides of the steamer, and the cholera is rag
ing alongside Of them. "NO ship to put
them on no place where can land them"
says the Health Officer. while the agents.
whose place it is to see that the passengers
are cared for, say nothing.
Dr.. Jenkins has made strenuous exer-
tiOns to obtain a place 10 put the we'll
passengers. but up to the present has been
unsuccessful. To-day he thought he had
everything arranged, but gentleman this
evening showed the correspondent of the
Associated Press telegram from Austin
Corbin stating that the War Department
had refused the use of Sandy Hook for
cabin passengers, and this has blocked their
plan to erect barracks there.
DR.. Jenkins said he had asked Governor
Flower TO annex Fire Island, which was
private property. and let him put the cabin
passengers ashore at once, and he thought
it might be possible TO do so and have ap-
praisement of its value made later The
Governor has advised him to rent or pur-
chase a vessel TO put the cabin passengers
in if necessary, and he thought that things
will be Strengthened out.
As regards the situation at lower quaran-
tine things are no better than on the pre-
vious day. In fact they are much worse as
regards the mortality. eleven fresh eases
and four deaths being the days record. Ga
the Normannia six new cases were found
and on the Rugia three new cases. all mem-
hers Of the crew and steerage. They were
removed to Swinburne Island.
The Moravia was found for the fourth
time 20 be absolutely free from cases, and
the doctors are now confident that cholera
has been successfully stamped out on board
that ship.
At Hofmans Island, one Of the Norman
MAS steerage passengers has developed
cholera and he was removed on q tug To
Swinburne Island. There it was found
that four deaths had occurred since last
night.
