The Epidemic at Hamburg.
HAMBURG, Aug 29.-The number of
fresh cases of cholera on Saturday was
400. the number Of deaths l98. Incom-
plete returns for yesterday show that there
are at fewest 500 fresh cases. The num-
ber of deaths has not yet been ascertained.
The mortality from cholera has raised the
number of funerals daily from an average
of eighty-five to one of 320 The city is
not yet panic stricken, but the effect of
the plague is apparent everywhere. The
streets yesterday were deserted for the
first time since the disease became preva-
lent. The usual Sunday excursions were
abandoned. No excursion trains were
run, and the steamers which usually take
out parties lay idle at the docks. Theatres,
circuses and music halls were empty.

The funerals which take place CONSTANT
ly are conduced without the usuals osten-
tation. Not more than two or three car
rlages 1OllOW neafse ana IN many cases
the body is taken to the grave without a
friend or relative to accompany it. The
services are limited to prayer or at most
to prayer and hymn. This simplicity of
ceremony is the result of the repeated
warnings of the sanitary authorities and
physicians. The Hamburg senate has re-
quested an extra credit of 5000, 900 marks
for medical purposes. In Altoona, just be-
low here, there were forty-seven fresh
cases yesterday and nineteen deaths.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. 30.-It was
learned yesterday that the Pinkerton
agency some time ago sent forty men into
the Carnegie mill as non-union workmen.
These men deserted in small squads, and
were taken into the strikers ranks They

considerable evidence against participants

That they have discovered the hiding place

Going to Look for Those Guns.
A surprising number of Pinkerton men
were in Homestead yesterday and there is
much suppressed excitement over the pro-
posed search for the guns of the captured
Pinkertons. For several weeks Pinker-
toms best detectives have been endeavor-
ing to locate the weapons and now with
the authority of search warrants they pro-
pose to compel the possessors of the Win
chesters to surrender them. Two months
ago the great steel works shut down, and
80 far as the men are concerned there is no
perceptible weakening, nor do the majori-

firm insists that so far as they are concern

Hotels Inside the Works.
Yesterday architects began the prepara-

Radical Measures Talked Of
"Horse Sense" of the Emperor.

BERLIN, Aug 29.-At conference of
the ministry of the interior Saturday it
was decided to publish daily the number
of cases of cholera reported throughout
Germany. The minister of the interior
took this action at the suggestion of the
emperor, who believes that the plague
can be fought more advantageously if the
people understand the exact nature of the
peril to which they are exposed. In Berlin
especially such course is regarded as ad-
visable, because a panic can be averted
by the publication of all the facts. The city
was never cleaner or healthier and with
proper preventative measures it probably
can be kept comparatively free from the
infection.

NEW OI.AEANs, Aug. 30.-A strike has
been in progress here for some days by
the switchmen of the New Orleans and
Northeastern railway, part of the Queen
and Crescent system, growing out of the
objection of the men to the yardmaster,
who was from st. Louis. The men
left work and the yardmaster telegraphed
to St. Louis for switchmen to take their
places. A party of eleven men arrived
here at o'clock last night from st. Louis
and went to work at once. At 11:15 p. m.
the men were seated around the yard talk
ing when four of them in group were
suddenly fired upon and all four fell bad
ly wounded.
Two Funerals viii Result.
AS far as could be made out there were
dozen men in the attacking party. One
of the wounded men had strength enough
left to draw his revolver and fire, bringing
down one of their assailants. The other
switchmen rushed up to the assistance of
their wounded brethren and the strikers
fed. George Sprague, of the switchmen,
was fatally wounded, and will live only q

DIR. Thorne, of the London Sanitary Board,
Not Hopeful-Sensible Kaiser.
LONDON, Aug. 29.-Dr. Thorne, chief of
the sanitary division of the local govern
ment board, says he has grave doubts
of the ability of the board to keep
the cholera out of London. He says
the great source of danger is in
the East End. 1t is impossible to
watch and locate INDECENT immigrants
who naturally gravitate toward the East
End on arrival in the country. They do
not know themselves where they are go.
ing, and their addresses cannot be regis
tered. They have no work in prospect
and no friends to receive them, and they
drift to the slums and are lost sight of.
They are of course subject to a medical
inspection at the port of arrival, but they
might pass this and yet be infected with
cholera in the incubation stage, which
would develop afterward.
Radical Measures Talked Of
Ordinary travellers can be watched for
any desired length of time after arrival, as
they lave destinations in view and can
give their addresses. AT the instance of
Dr. Thorne all the leading medical officials
under the government met Saturday to
discuss the situation. 1t was resolved
that more stringent measures than now
possible should be authorized. There is
a growing feeling that Gladstone should
convene the ministers and pass an order
on the ground of public expediency em-
powering officials to absolutely exclude
immigrants at their discretion so long as
the danger from cholera exists.
