FIRE ISLAND, Sept. 12.-There have
been exciting scenes this afternoon
owing to demonstrations by from three
hundred to four hundred bay men and
others, led by Supervisor w. ii.
Young and ex-Supervisor John ii.
Vail, of Islip Town, who took pos
session of the docks, armed with shot
guns, oars and other weapons, and
twice resisted all attempts made to land
passengers from the Cepheus. At this
hour the Cepheus is anchored abont 200
feet from the dock. AS the Cepheus
ran alongside the dock the first time 100
voices shouted, you cannot land here;
20 back to New York,''
Others shouted threats of throwing
them overheard if they stepped from
the vessel onto the dock. A hawser
was thrown to post, which was I'M
medlately thrown back. Five police
men on the Cepheus climbed to the gun
vale and mOtioned as though to draw
revolverS, but went no further. G.. l..
Wall, whom Gov. Flower authorized
to take charge of the hotel here,
VINO was also aboard the Cepheus,
Asked the Mob to Listen
to him, and then said: 81 represent the
state of New York. and am authorized
to land here and assume charge"
The crowd shouted: "Show us your
authority" He thereupon produced
paper which he began to read, but could
not make himself heard. Many of the
passengers. mostly women, appealed to
the crowd to allow them to land, but
the answers that came were derisiye
shouts.
Lawyer Reid and Supervisor Young
Informed those aboard the steamboat
that Justice Barnard had granted an in
junction restraining them from landing.
Mr.. Wall asked to see the injunction,
but as the document had not yet arrived
it could not be produced. They stated,
however, that it was on the way.
The Cepheus was then backed out
and turned. While turning. DIR. Voight
secured rowboat to ia him to the
steamer, and he had gone halfway
when the men rowing refused to go
further and turned back. He made two
other unsuccessful attempts to reach
the steamer. The Cepheus again
ran alongside the dock, but a
solid line of determined bay men re-
PEELED an attempt to land. Mr.. Wall
again asserted his authority, but when
he stated that the authority was from
DR.. Jenkins. the health officer, the
crowd jeered, and Supervisor Young
shouted, 1--WE don't recognize DR.. Jen-
kins or Gov. Flowers authority here"
Lottie Collins. who stood in the first
row of the passengers that lined the
decks OF the Cepheus. put out both
hands and cried: Shame! Shame!
You who call yourselves Americans,
shame." and, as the steamer again
backed from the dock, the English act
reSs kissed her hand and smiled.

Ruction.

TRENTON, n. j., sept. IA state
convention of cOlored men was held at
Masonic hall today. The gathering was
for the purpose of devising means look
ing toward the political advancement of
the colored people in this state.
Charles n. Robinson, of Camden,
was nominated for temporary chair
man, as was also Col. w. MUr-
rell, of Hudson. A lively contest for
the office had been waging for several
hours before the convention met. Col.
Murrell was elected. His election was
disputed, and tremendous excitement
prevailed. A crowd of excited dele
gates set upon Thomas K. Turner, a
Mercer delegate. and thumped him
for advocating Murrell'S de-
thronemeDt. Pistols and raZors were
drawn and squad of police entered the
hall. William Seruby. of Trenon, who
had flouriShed a revolver, was arrested.
After five minutes of disorder the con-
vention proceeded with its business.
The disorder broke out again, however,
threatening every moment to break up
the convention.
The roll call showing the election of
Murrell was finally eXpunged and Robin
son declared elected. r. Henri Herbert,
OF Mercer, was made permanent chair
man; the only other business transact
ed was the adoption of an address to the
Republican state committee. The same
contains a demand for recognition of
their voice by representation on state
committees and on several county COM
mittees. A number of grievances are
set forth, and better treatment, particu-
larly, is asked for on the ground of 10y
atty to the party and great assistance
rendered by the cOlored men at every
election,

FIRE ISLAND, Sept. 12.-After the
Cepheus had anchored boat was low
cred and P. Il. Wall and Capt. Triple
were rOwed in to the dock, but were
not allowed to step ashore. Mr.. Wall
said that he desired to confer with the
committee. whereupOn several persons
shouted: "Supervisor Young represents
u.s."
Then let me ashore and supervisor or
Young and will talk the matter over"
said Mr.. Wall.
A score of voices answered: "No,
no; you can't come ashore here: go back
to New York"
Mr.. Wall replied: II represent the
state of New York"
''Show US your authority, then." re-
sponded the crowd.
Mr.. Wall thereupon took paper out
of his pocket and read from il as fol-
lows:
"To whom it may concern: P. L.
Wall is authorized to take charge of the
Surf hotel and passengers.
"WILI.IAM L. JENKINS,
"Realth Officer Port of New York"
Supervisor Young replied: 81 do not
recognize DR.. jenkins; this is not the
port of New York, and do not propose
to allow any passengers from infected
ships to land in the town of Islip."
But we have not sick person on
board; everybody is we'll; ana l appeal
to you, in behalf of the American
women and children, to allow these peo-
pie to land" said Mr.. Wall.
1--WE think of our own women and
children first. and intend to protect
them at all hazards" replied the super
visor.
While this conversation was going on
DR.. Voight appeared on the dock and
began telling Mr.. Wall that he had
charge there, when several bay men
crowded around him shouting. Throw
him into the water;" "Drown him."
and would probably have carried out
those threats but for the reporters.
The boat returned to the Cepheus,
where the detected passengers spirits
were being kept up by band music, the
band playing "Star Spangled Banner"
God Save the Queen" and yankee
Doodle" The boat came on again,
however, and Mr.. Wall asked to have
provisions sent aboard the Cepheus.
Some one in the crowd shouted: "All
right: let them have all the provisions
they want" But the greater number
answered: mo, no, give them nothing,
Let them go back to New York"

He Insists on the Use of Sandy
Hook for Quarantine Camp.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Acting Sec
retary Grant and Brigader-General
Flagler had an audience with Secretary
Foster this morning, in which they re-
newed their protest against taking pos
session of Sandy Hook for quarantine
purposes. They urged that it would
paralyZe military operations on the
Hook and lay the entire country round
about liable to infection.
Secretary Foster made several vigor-
Gus and characteristic remarks, and the
interview terminated abruptly without
Secretary Foster reversing his action in
the premises. Among other points
which the secretary made in re-
ply to the war department Off
operations was very Insignificant mat
terS as compared with stopping the i'll
roads of cholera, and that, while the oc-
cupation of Sandy Hook might affect a
few hundred, or perhaps thousand
people around there. it would be of the
greatest benefit to the country at large,
and he Secretary FOSTER was acting for
the American people.
Assistant Secretary of War Grant says
nothing mas Deen received at the de-
partment indicating an intention OH the
part of the state board of health of New
Jersey to sustain their pro-
test against the use of Sandy
Hook as a quarantine station. by
an oral presentation, as it was stated in
dispatch from Trenton would be done.
Nothing has been received additional to
the protest OF Friday night last and the
department officials consider that the
opinion of the attorney general, given
to the president yesterday, of the effect
of the law OF 1886, practically disposes of
the case.
AS intimated in the dispatches from
Loon Lake, President Harrison is In
vestigatlng the laws regulating immi-
grafton, with view to suspending It if
that be possible. The result of the in
quiry will probably be made known in a
day or two. If it is feasible there may
be issued proclamation covering the
case.

Notwithstanding this fact that there

any sleeping Accommodations. Delicate
women and aged, and infirm men are
without mattresses or blankets and
many are exposed TO the sky. All are
Supperless. ard this comes after three
days of insufficient food, dread of fire,
misery of sickness and dreadful un-
certainty as to out fate. Had
cholera been among us it must have
broken out; but only tonight the
Cepheus pledged his word to the savage
mob that is detainfng us here that there
has been no symptom of cholera
amongst us during all the time we have
been under his observation. The break
Ing point Is nearly reached. Hard
ships. hunger and fear are doing their
work, and the condition OF the
weak and infirm is reaching the limitOf
human endurance. For Gods sake re-
lease us and let us go to our homes. We
will put ourselves under any super
