PRoeRnss OF THE Plague.
Alarm Rapidly Quieting--COndi-
tiOn of Affairs Generally.


LONDON, September 20.-The Berlin cor
respondent says that Emperor William has
issued an order for the annual muster of
recruits to be postponed for one month in
all cholera infected districts of Germany.
ST. PETERSBURG, September 2O-A cor
respondent explains the decrease in the
number of cases of cholera and deaths in
towns, and the rapid increase and viru-
lence in the rural districts, by the fact, as
he says, that we are only just beginning to
learn the real state of affairs in the vast
isolated regions distant many miles from
the principal towns. Generally, the NOR
tality in these places amounts to about
one-third the number of cases. Notable
exceptions, however, are Voronezh, which
has a record for twenty-four. hours, of sol
new cases and S79 deaths; Stavrapol, 453
new cases, 248 deaths, and Ertvan, Sc new
cases and 176 deaths.
VIENNA, September 2O.-It is reported
that the cholera has broken out in Gill, in
Styria, south of Gratz.
ODESSA, September 2O.-The chole-a NOR
tality is increasing in the Kieff district.
Barracks have been hastily erected in
many of the principal towns and galway
stations in the southwestern part of the
district.
New YoRK, September 2O.-The woman
at Sandy Hook, who was thought yester-
day to have developed cholera symptoms
is better to day, so that it probably is not
cholera. One suspected case in the city
was removed to the hospital today. The
weather is very favorable, with fresh
breeze off the shore and the temperature
down to 90 degrees at noon.

HIS DUAL CAREER.
A Smooth Adyenturer With the
Church as a Cloak.
How he Defrauded His Employers
and WrOnged an Orphan Girl.
Lavish Expenditures of Money.
A Now York Waif in Glover.

SAN Francisco, September 20.-The
swindles and dual life of an American
adventurer come from Kobe, Japan, to
which country Conrad Harvey fed some
time since to escape the clutches Of the law
for his wrong doings here.
Harvey, who is described as fellow Of
very plausible speech and great resources
as an imposter, arrived in Japan about
three years ago. He went to Kobe, where
he delighted the hearts of the missionary
contingent by his attendance at prayer
meetings, where he was most earnest ap-
parently, in bis devotions. BE was en-
gagged by the China g. Japan Trading COM
pany. who evidently were deceived by his
insinuating manners and pleasing address.
While there Mr.. Dernen, head Of Belgian
firm, formerly established at Hiogo, came
to look after his concern, and, meeting
Harvey at the hotel, was much taken with
him, 50 that the two became intimate COM
panions and Dernen made him his man.
ager. "Perhaps the reason why l trusted
him so, said Mr.. Dernen, twas because he
always insisted on my going to church with
him on Sunday mornings"
Mr.. Dernen stayed three or four weeks
after his new managers appointment and
on leaving placed a considerable deposit to
his account in the bank. About that time
Harvey met Miss Cora Lafferty, an Ameri-
can, at Arima. She was a missionary,
with no relatives, being an orphan, having
been adopted by friends. She is said to
have been a very cOnfding and thor
oughly pure girl, and accepted Harvey's
attentions in all good faith.
Aftera brief courtship the two were mar
ried before the United States Consular
Court for Hioga and Osaka on November 8.
1SCO the ceremony being complete in all
particulars. Harvey took a house which
he furnished in the most eXtravagant style.
BIS young wife begged him not to be so
lavish. He, however, retOrted: ut is my
money and / can do wnat / like with it,
After he had lived with her a short time
he suddenly announced that he was going
to Hakodate, but did not return, having
taken passage on one of the American
boats to Canada and that is the last heard
of him.
Inquiries made by friends of the deserted
wife revealed that Harvey had very
tough record. He was a New York city
Waif who was sent by a charitable Organi-
zation to a Western farm. He early showed
great business ability, and when he reached
manhood he married Miss Della Pierce at
Yale, Guthrie county, La. Harvey was
then station agent at PanOrn, la. His
marriage was in 1885, and three years later
he decamped with 5000 which he embez-
zled as railroad clerk. He had treated his
young wife in so brutal a way that she
did not mourn over his sudden departure.
Although he was sought by the Iowa
authorities the story of his sWindles did
not reach Japan ana he found no difficulty
in establishing himself there, especially as
he used professions of extreme piety to aid
him in gaining public confidence.
All these facts were presented in court at
Kobe, and the judge promptly gave the
second wife divorce and permitted her to
use her maiden name

FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
The Celebrated OPtIcian Must Leave
for New York This Week.

Professor Seward will positively leave
Olympia this week. The indications are
that he will not be able to accommodate
all who desire to secure his services in ad-
justing his superior glasses, but if those
who intend to call will do so as early in the
week as possible The professor will thereby
be enabled to serve a gOodly number.
Professor Seward will make a test of the
sight of all who call and in all cases where
the work can't be finished this week the
glasses will be sent from Tacoma, where
stop Of four days will be made before go
ing to Walla Walla. This will be the last
opportunity offered to the citizens of
Olympia, and those who do not take advan-
tage of the opportunity will certainly re-
gret it when too late. In addition to the
large number of ordinary nearsighted and
farsighted eyes Professor Seward has sue
cessfully corrected over fifty cases of COM
pound stigmatism in Olympia; this is the
most difficult and expensive work in optics
and not a single case has been reported
dissatisfied. Ten cases of headaches have
been reported cured.
Professor Seward does not treat diseased
eyes and makes no charge for consultation; I;
if he can not do you any good he will not
accept any fee. If you need glasses ad-
justed, and value your eyesight, call on
Professor Seward at the Olympia hotel be-
fore il is too late

THE STATE HOUSE.
Action to be Taken by the Board
of Trade.

How the Land owned by the state
Can be Made TO serve a Good
PurPOse--The Proposed COnsti-
! tutiOnaI Amendment.
A special meeting Of the Olympia board
of trade will be held tonight promptly at
o'clock, at Columbia hall, to consider
steps for securing the adoption of the pro.
posed constitutional amendment looking
toward the construction Of a state house.
The amendment under consideration pro-
vides that the state may, for the purpose of
constructing public buildings and other
works, and for the acquisition Of lands,
and for other expenses incident to said con-
struction, contract debts in any amount
not to exceed in the aggregate one per cent.
Of the taxable property within the state, as
shown by the assessment for county and
state purposes last preceding the incurIing
Of any such debts; and may further con
tract, for any public purposes, debts not
exceeding in the aggregate five hundred
thousand dollars; and the moneys arising
from the loans creating such debts shall be
applied for the purposes for which they
were obtained, or to repay the debts so con-
tracted, and fornO other purpose whatever.
This scheme to raise the limit of the
states indebtedness has for its animus the
construction of a state house with bOr-
rowed money, but ample provision will be
made for the liquidation of this indebted
ness by the proceeds from the sale OF state
lands. Washington owns enough land to
build several state houses, but it is in such
shape that the cash cannot be realized up
on is at present. 1t is looked upon as a
good financial scheme to borrow S500,0O0
for a term of years at a low rate of interest
and liquidate both principal and interest
with money received from the land. 1t is
claimed the lapse of time would enhance
the value of land so the state could well
afford to pay the interest.
The Olympia board Of trade, knowing
that the adoption of the amendment de-
pends almost entirely upon the dissemina-
ton of reliable information, will discuss
the matter tonight, and draft resolutions
explaining the true nature Of the move
ment. A large attendance is urged be-
cause the early construction of a state
house means much for the future great
ness of Olympia.
President Lord is very enthusiastic
about the amendment and the indications
are that the board of trade will take inn
portant action tonight

no PRoTEOT STEAMBOATS,.
A New Process for Covering the
Bottom of Vessels.

In view Of the recent disasters to the
Wetmore and the Monticello, Olympia
steamboat men will be interested in new
process for covering the bottoms of boats.
If carried to its extreme limit of its possi-
bilities it would make vessel waterproof,
rock proof and barnacle proof.
The vessel is put in dock and her skin is
olearNd With ehe help 1f a dilute acid
applied by Ileans of water-tight can
vas and wire bag of large dimensions en-
closing the hull. After the surface of the
metal is cleaned the acid is Withdrawn, and
its place occupied by a solution of sulphate
of copper, or bluestone. Electric currents
are then sent through the solution from a
dynamo. The hull of the ship is the
cathode or negative electrode of the cur
rent, and the metal of the containing bag
the anode. The sulphate of copper solu-
ton is thus decomposed, and a layer of
pure copper is deposited on the iron. The
advantages of the plan are that no rlvets or
sheet copper are required. The shell of
copper can be of any required thickness,
ond it can be renewed by a similar process.
The process has been tried with success at
New York

the outrigger in which Olney went boat

RoCKAwAY BEACH, L. l., September 2O.-
A confagration started at noon which
threatened to wipe out large section of
this resort. The Seaside museum, Foley's
hotel, Meissmer's hotel, VIM. Burgess ho-
tel, Marray & DALI hotel and Grand Ocean
hotel are all ablaze and will undoubtedly
be destroyed. The whole population has
turned out to fight the fire, but their eff
forts are of little avail, as there is a scarcity
of water. A strong breeze is blowing,
which fans the flames. The heat is in
tense. The FIRE departments of Rockaway,
Lawrence and Woodsburg have been sum-
moned by telephone. Twenty lives are re-
ported lost.
The fire broke out in the museum on
Seaside avenue, situated in the most
thickly populated part of the beach, where
all the frame buildings are located. The
flames spread with astonishing rapidity
and soon reached the opposite side of the
street. All the buildings on both sides of
the way on Seaside avenue from the point
near the site of the old Seaside house,
which was destroyed by fire few days ago,
seemed to be doomed. The Long Island
railroad depot is destroyed Mrs. Bertha
Kingsland. wife of the proprietor of Kings
land hotel, was badly burned while trying
to save some of her effects. Two
other ladies, guests, are also severely
burned. The Long Island railroad is
transferring fire brigades as fast as possi-
BILE, on fiat cars, from Inwood, Ozone Park,
Far Rockaway, Woodbury. and Lawrence.
At 2 o'clock it looked as though all the
buildings on Seaside Avenue wonld be de-
stroyed If this proves to be the case, the
loss will be fully 100000. The cause of the
fire is not yet explained.
