NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-There We're six
deaths in quarantine yesterday. The
cholera fleet in the lower bay was
visited during the afternoon by Quar-
antine Commissioner Allen, President
of the Board of Health Wilson, Health
Commissioner Bryant, Police Commits
sioner Martin, Sanitary uperintendent
Edison, Gen. Emmons Clark, secretary
of the board of health, and DIR. Frank
Ferguson. The party returned at $3.50
O'Clock.
''Six deaths on the fleet" said Com
missioner Allen. ''Three on the Nor
MAMMA, one on the Rugia and two on
on the Moravia. Six patients have
been transferred from the Normannia
TO Swinburne island and all the steer
age passengers of the Normannia to
Hoffman island"
No further information was to be
obtained. Whether there had been
any deaths among the cabin passen-
gers has not been reported. The
deaths were probably all in the steer
age. Confusion and panic reign SUI
preme on the Normannia. The 1000
odd passengers were kept in densest
ignorance of the true state of affairs
during the entire voyage. They were
told that the deaths which occurred
were from natural causes. Yesterday
and earIy this morning they were
laughing and joking at the mischance
which detained them in quarantine
and we're sure of being shortly re-
ceased. Newspapers and letters were
brought on board They then discov-
ere" that they were prisoners for an in
definite length of time, cheek by jowl
with the terrible scourge.
Three large steamships with emf
grants on board arrived here yesterday
from Europe, but there was no evi-
dence of cholera among the pas
sengers. They were the North German
Lloyd steamship Fulda from Genoa
Aug. "a, with sos immigrants. the
North German Lloyd steamship Darn
stadt from Bremen, Aug. "a, with $50
immigrants, and the French steamship
La Bourgogne from Havre, Aug. 27,
with $40 immigrants. The health of
ficers boarded the three steamers at
quarantine, where they were detained,
and, after making careful examina-
ton reported that all on board were
well.

STRIKING MINERS INDICTED.
Release of Lot of the Prisoners at
War6nar I6ah

WARDNER, Idaho, Sept. 5.-One hun
dred and thirty five prisoners We're re-
leased at Wallace yesterday afternoon.
Indictments were found against
every one of them by the United
States grand jury now in ses-
sion at Coeuer d'Alene City. But
it is deemed best not to bring them to
trial now but keep the indictments
hanging over them as an incentive
to good behavior. Not more than
twelve or fifteen Of those indicted will
be brought to trial Only ten prison
ers remain at Wallace. The Fourteenth
Infantry of Vancouver will be sent
home AMI the Fourth Infantry of Fort
Sherman shortly after, leaving the
troops from Fort Spokane, under Col.
Cook, to maintain peace. The released
miners are confident they will yet sue
ceed in driving out the non-union men.

The Day in New York.

New YORK, Sept. 5.-A more beauti-
full sunny fall day than this could not
have been chosen by the toilers of this
city for the annual celebra ton Of Labor

streets the celcbraters boarded the
Long Island ferry and went to Wood

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-0rganizcd labor
took holiday to-day. From factory
and shop and building came the regi-
ments and brigades and divisions that
make up the grand army of toilers,
and, resplendent in bright regalia and
with banners waving, they marched to
msplriting music, a powerful but
peaceful array. 1t was d great
procession. 1t was larger, better
managed and better appearing than
any similar turned out in the
past. The men who effected the ar
engagements and the men who made up
the rank and file of the parade alike
deserved credit for the superb demon
stration. 1t is estimated that $4,000
men were in line in the great parade.

PITTsBURG, Sept. 5.-The observance
of Labor day was not SO general to-day

there would have been nothing to indi

thing was quiet, most of the strike

dent Greenfield of the Chamber of

yield in Minnesota and the Dakotas at

is much greater than early
estimates put it. Manager
Petit of A. J. Sawyer & Co. was a
believer in 100000 some weeks
ago. He has no hesitation now in say
ing that an even hundred million will
suffice. He says there has been great
damage from shrinkage of the berry,
which will affect the weight of the
grain materially. A. D. Milford be-
heves that 10000, 900 will cover tn
yield of wheat this year. He does not
look for much No. hard wheat in the
lot. j. FL. Peacock says 100, 100000
will fit the new crop. From these
statements it will be regarded as safe
to put the crop of the three States at
100,000,000 bushels. That means at
least 60, 100000 less than last year, but
the yield last year was phenomenal

June 26. An account of the ceremony

act was performed with great solemn
by the captain-general of Cadiz, Gen
eral Butler, and many officers of high
rank in the army and navy of Spain.
A number of ladies were present The
vessel is an exact facsimile of the one
in which Columbus made his first yOy-
age to the new world. Two hundred
and twenty-five laborers and 120 sailors
assisted in rendering the operation
successful. At 2 o'clock p. ~. the YES
sci was blessed, and twenty-five min
utes later she glided to sea. The
launching was a complete success. 1t
