AN INSANE MOB.
No Appeal Could Move Them
From Their Purpose.

From Their Purpose.
FIRE ISLAND, Sept. 12.-The people
here have been made insane by the ex-
ercise of power. They have
been appealed to in the name
Of God to permit the old
est women and youngest children
to be taken to the hotel for the night,
that if this request was granted their
with brutal ieers. The events since
nightfall have displayed a degree
of cruelty we'll nigh inconceiv-
able. After the Cepheus had come to
anchor two police officers rowed to the
landing and asked that letter be taken
to DIR. Voight. The mob refused to
allow the letter to be brought ashore,
and drove the police off with threats. .
AS it was growing dark small boat
came from the direction of the steamer.
1t was rOwed by two policemen. and in
the stern stood a gray-haired man,
Robert Nj. Thompson. AS the
gathered threateninglv. Mr.. Thompson
asked to be heard on behalf of the 200
women and children on the steamer
who were suffering from hunger, ex-
pOsure and exhaustion. After some
minutes of insulting retorts by the mob
he was allowed to speak. He said
that the men on the steamer did
not ask to land. The young women
would remain ii necessary, but the Old
women, some of them grandmothers,
and the children, suffering not for COM
forts, but for decent care, should be
allowed to land. They would be re-
turned to the steamer after nights
rest and one meal. {.
Attorney w. p. Reid answered thatsIf
the captain of the steamer would come
ashore, the people to whom he spoke
would consider the request. After say
ing that he would attempt to bring
the captain back with him. Mr..
Thompson returned TO the steamer,
1t was dark, except for the light of
the stars, when the boat was seen COM
ing back to the landing place. When
the boat had touched the landing tall,
spare figure was standing in the bow.
1T is Senator Mcpherson, of New
jersey" called out MIR. Thompson, who
was still in the stern.
Senator Mcpherson stood silent for
some moments looking at the mob he
could dimly see crowding to the edge of
the wharf, and ordering the officers who

boat drifted too near the landing.
Citizens" said the senator at last
1.-THE captain declines to come ashore.
If you will give me your injunction
papers l give you my word of honor l
will give them to him, and he will ac-
cept them as legally served"
Bring your captain ashore as you
promised,' said Attorney Reid.
THAT would accomplish no more
than my offer to you." continued the
senator. You want him for some
other purpose than that you have /
stated"
Attorney Reid replied that the cap
tain must come ashore.
II do not understand you," said the
senator, You appear to hesitate over
some legal quibble. and your hesita-
tion means unspeakaole sufferings,
probably death to women and chill
dren."
The crowd remained silent.
'.If ws can bring them ashore will you

agree to let the suffering, innocent.
helpless people land?"
"They cannot land" yelled the mob,

helpless people land?"
nThey cannot land" yelled the mob.
The senator turned his face up to the
mob and III an impressive voice said:
Il appeal to you men, in the name of
God. not to be led IRto heartless cruelty
longer by this attorney, but to give
your consent that these women
and children be taken from this boat
where they have nothing to eat,
no place to sleep, where the common
decencies of life cannot be longer OBJ
served, where the surroundings are foul
from sea-sickness. Before you answer
your own wives and children. Be
manly. Do not bring an everlasting
disgrace on your names. Be men,"
1t did not seem as if human beings
capable of understanding the language
In which they were being addressed,
conld withstand the appeal; but the
crowd stood there sullen and silent,
while the lawyer SAID: "They cannot
land. If we permit them, we will give
away our case. They cannot land"
"They cannot land" echoed the mob.
Senator Mcpherson sank down in the
boat overcome. MIR. Thompson cried
out: You poor people, you are being
duped by tricky lawyerH'
VIC Ill z IiO HiOIc lIlChy tldu YOU,
ans wered Lawyer Reid. Mr.. Thomp-
son then said: "You will at least allow
DR.. Vought to send US food and blan
kets."
Not unless the captain comes
ashore" answered one lawyer. and the
mob appiauded. When the boat was
rowed back to the steamer, the news
paper men who had listened to this at
once went TO every one of the ship
health board who was present and
begged that this horrible crime be not
committed. At half-past s o'clock a
meeting of the board was held in the
hotel Office where resolution was
passed that if DR.. Vought would go
with Lawyer Reid to the steamer and
see that Injunction papers were served
the boarC would allow food and blankets
to be taken ABOARD. DR.. Vought was
made to promise that if this wer allowed
no attempt would be made to land the
passengers.

VERY DIRTY
Is the Status of the Emigrants on
the Rugia.

New YORK, Sept. 12.-The officials of
the HamburgAmerican line obtained
permission from Health Officer jenkins
week ago to allow special physician
of the company to board the Rugia on
condition that he would remain until all
passengers were released. The ply,
sician sent one DR.. Leo Splegltz. of
No. 153 East SiXtieth street. This
morning his first official report was re-
ceived. 1t was sent to DR.. j. H. Asch,
who is also acting for the Hamburg
American line. The report was written
in German, from which DIR. Asch trans
lated the following extract:
II found everything in good condi-
ton, except the dirt in the steerage.
The captain isolated all cases of sick
ness, although there was hardly room
enough. 1t was three days before any
of the ships patients were removed, so
that it was impossible to keep the dis
ease confined. DR.. Borchard, the
Rugia's physician, did all that he could.
The passengers are lively, and seem to
be well satisfied. They receive papers
every day. and are well treated by DIR.
Borchard.
''In the rooms in which l was intro
duced as the ships hospital, there was
a congregation of unwashed people. 1t
looked as if all the unwashed people In
the world were there. DR.. Jenkins
delay in removing sick and suspicious
cases is 10 be condemned. 1t is a great
wonder to Inc that fifty of the people
of the ship did not die. 1t is of my
opinion that as long as the steerage pas
sengers are OH the Rugia the vessel can
not be disinfected."
Of the treatment by DR.. Borchard the
report spoke as follows: HE separated
the passengers as far as possible so
there was no connection between the
sick and suspicious cases. Each case of
diarrhGa and vomiting was treated as
cholera and isolated. There were sew
eral very severe cases of asplytica
cholera, the patients dying in two or
three hours. Other cases were treated
with injections of tannin and salts. We
succeeded with the cure in all cases. l
expect to remain on the ship as long as
she remains in quarantine."

ways. 1t is the first authorized utter
ance of the church in this state on the
education matter, and it is taken to
mean that the Catholics of Illinois will
join the Lutherans. as they did in Wis
consin, in the fight against state inter-
ference in denominational schools. Also,
it is the first pastoral ever sent out by
Archbishop Feehan, and it is the first
pastoral touching political matters that
has been read in the churches of Chi
cago since Bishop Duggan denounced
the Fenians in the fall of 1868.
The part of the letter touching the
school question denounces the Edwards
law. The final passage of this pastoral
is as follows: "When we consider what
we have done and are doing to educate
our Catholic children. while we also
contribute to the support of the public
schools, 1t seems ineXplicable to us that
the legislature of Illinois should have
enacted what is known as the Edwards
law: an inSidious and an uni law,
which, under pretext of zeal for popular
education, is really violation of our
most sacred rights as men and citizens"

INSPECTION A FARCE,
A Returned Pittsburger Arraigns
New York Health Officers


PITTsBURG, Sept. 12.- Rev. DR.. j.
W. Holland, chancellor of the Western
university, who has been in Europe
since last June, returned today. In an
interview he arraigned the authorities
at New York, and pronounced the quar-
antine inspection farce, and the delen-
tion of healthy passengers with cholera
patients on the same ship and vessels
affected among those not affected in the
lower bay as jeopardy of life. The
Surgeons assisting in the inspection. he
says are inadequate, and the quarantine
measures should be placed in the hands
Of the national government alone. 1t is
the steamship companies who are so
carefully guarding each of the shores,
and not the New York health 6ificers
that are keeping the dreaded scourge
from. entering the country, in his opin-
ion. He says that the American officials
depend almost entirely on the ship sur
geon for their information.

IN SPECIAL. SESSION.
MichiXan's Legislature to Make
New AppOrtiOnment.

LANSING, Mich, August 6.-Both
houses convened at 9:15 this morning
pursuant to call by the governor made
necessary by decision by the supreme
court that the apportionment bills
1891 and 1885 were unconstitutional.
The senate took recess for one hour in
order to enable the committee to report
a reapportionment bill on the basis of
of sixty-four members. One senator
wanted to amend by instructlng the
committee to inquire into the advisable
ity of this action instead of committing
the house to it. The amendment was
rejected by vote of 80 to D along party
lines. The party advantage to the dem
ocrats is that it gives a larger proper.
tionatc representation to the cities which
are supposed to elect democratic mem
bcrs. For this reason it i, opposed by
the republicans. Scvcrol members spoke
upon it, the democrats favorng such a
bill and the republicans opposing.
The only hope of the republicans lies in
prolonging the session beyond Tuesday,
so that it will be necessary to give the
acts immediate effect i'll order to- have
them become operative before the elcc
ton. To this two-thirds vote would
be necessary. This the democrats have
not got, and the republicans would, there
fore, be able to dictate terms. The pres
cnt rules of the house are SO framed that
the republicans may hold the majority
for several days, but it is believed they
will have exhausted all dilatory tactic:
before Tuesday night, and that the dem
ocratic bills, the nature of which have
not yet been disclosed, will I've passet
within the ninety days limit. Both sides
are determined, and the session prom
iscs to be very lively while it lasts.

ENGI.AND's GRAB GAME.
A British war ship Establishes
COaling station at I'a9O-PaXO.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4.-News is
brought by an Australian steamer OF
what may cause an International quar-
rel between England and the United
States. 1t seems that the British gun.
boat Curacao last month put into Pago'
pago harbor, Samoa, and the Samoan
land commissioner selected piece OF
land there for a British coaling station.
The news comes by way of Auckland,
and the New Zealand paper remarks that
the United States has abandoned Pago-
Pago since the Apia hurricane. This
reads uuecrly when lit is remembered that
Lieut.. Coffin left here last month for
Samoa to put this Pago-Pago coaling
station in order.
The Samoan government in 1875
granted this coalng station to the
United States, and England has no right
to any part of the hardor. The steamer

day:

Gratis from all parts of the state while in

the committee list that large proper

of the campaign are men who were not
favorable to the cx-prcsident's nomina-

Cleveland of their LOYALTY, and the fact
that they are so personally active is sui.
