CONSUL SHERMAN
Talks About the Precautions on the Other
Side at Liverpool.

LIVERPOOL, September 10.-The rep.
resentative of the Associated Press had
an interview to-day with Mr.. Thomas
Sherman, United States Consul here,
regarding the liability OF the steam
ship company which refuse to carry the
steerage passengers who have engaged
their passage and now find themselves
unable to proceed In consequence Of
President Harrison's circular regarding
the ouarantining Of emigrant ves-
sells. Mr.. Sherman said he thought
the legal risk Of the companies
who refused TO carry emigrants
already booked was not great. Mr..
Sherman added: "The companies Ia
Liverpool, however, have been most
fair and liberal in regard to passengers,
and have made great sacrifices during
this unfortunate period to meet all their
obligations and to comply to the fullest
extent with the American requirements.
We have taken sanitary precautions for
months at the request OF the companies.
Owing to the smallpox among Russian
Jews the luggage OF emlgrants has been
disiniected. The emigrants themselves
have been subjected TO medical exams
inatlon and to fumigation with sui
phur. These precautions were here
considered perfectly satisfactory and
were undertaken by officers under my
supervision. We have also on several
occasions fumigated the clothing OF en-
igrants from infected districts while
the owners remained in bed. The COM
panies have now, however, ceased fumi-
CATION, which was purely voluntary,
owing to the fact that it does not lessen
the severity OF the quarantine I'm
posed In the United States. The
baggage of saloon and second cabin
passengers Is not fumigated because
these people belong TO the better classes
and 1t is thought they keep themselves
clean. We fumigate English rags,
while wool from Calcutta and other in
fected places In the east is not admitted
unless it is disinfected, which practi-
cally means its exclusion. The owners
pay for the fumigation Of their goods,
and the companies pay for the fumiga-
tion of passengers and baggage"
Referring TO the flood OF emigration
flowing toward the United States, Con-
sui Sherman said he believed that
there was great need Of checking emil
grafton. He was convinced that
changes in the American law to effect
that end would shortly be made. Every
emigrant, he declared, ought to be
rigidly examined as to his or her physi-
cal and financial condition before start
ing ior the United States. This, he ad-
mitted, would be costly proceeding,
but he added: american citizenship
is worth having for nowadays"

The Law in the Case.

Loon LAKE, N. Y, September 1.-THE
President received the daily dispatches
from Secretary Foster as to the cholera
situation, and informing him of the prepa
rations made ana precautions that will be
taken at Sandy Hook. The Attorney Gen
eral informs the President that the act of
cesson by the New Jersey Legislature Of
the Sandy Hook reservation reads:
"rhe United States shall retain iuris-
diction so long as the tract shall be ap-
piled to military or public purposes of
the said United States, and no longer"
and that the protest of Governor Abbott
has no legal foundation under the plain
and unmistakable language.
DR.. Gardner, Mrs. Harrison's physician,
arrives to-day and will remain with her
for the present. Her condition does lot
improve as was hoped.

NO INDICATION
OF Any Thing but Loyal Effort and Hearty
Zeal in New York, says Mr.. Cleveland.

BUzzARDs BAY, MASS, September
1.-THE Hon. Grover Cleveland ar
rived on the 1924 q. N. train yesterday
from New York which connects with
the Fall River boat, accompanied by
his Secretary, Mr.. O'Brien. On reach
ing Gray Gables, he at once entered
upon his correspondence which has ac-
cumulsted during his two days absence.
Mr.. Cleveland expressed great satisfac-
tion with what he had seen and heard
while in New YORK. To the reporter
of the Associated Press be said: II re-
gard it as absolutely certain that the
material is at hand In the
State of New York to secure its
electoral vote for the Democracy. OF
course this cannot be done without
faithful work and harmonious organized
efforts but the Democrats Of the State
are accustomed to hard fighting, and IL
would be strange that II in this crisis OF
our struggle for party principles there
should be any faltering luke-warmness.
There is certainly no indication OF any
thing in our party councils or manage
ment except loyal effort and hearty
zeal. These things afford abundant
grounds for my confidence and satisfac-
tion."

comes here that he is bidding strong
for success. Elkins is the biggest en-
ployer in the State. His railroads,
mines, forest lands and other enter
prises give work TO an army OF men. IL
is with these agencies he intends to
overturn the small Democratic majority
and, If possible, secure the return OF
Republican legislature that will send
him to the Senate rs the successor OF
Senator Faulkner.
The Democratic National Committee
has information that Elkins is getting
his schemes well in hand and that there
is much danger he will capture the
State. 1t is we'll they have made the
discovery in good season. They are thus
able to be on the alert TO prevent colo
nization and to circumvent his plans.
Steve is desperate, however, and he will
lead the Democrats lively race. 1t Is
his last chance to maintain himself as
a national figure. aud the State is by no
means safe for Cleveland.
1t is not generally known, but eight
years ago West Virginia was carried Tor
Blaine up to ten days before the eiec-
t1on. Then the discovery was made
that Elkins had certain plans in opera
tion and was about to capture the state.
Senator German, then the Chairman OF
the National Democratic Committee,
made a flying and secret trip to West
Virginia. The first thing he did was 10
call on ex-senator Henry e. Davis, Eli
kins' father-in-law, and demanded OF
him fair play for the party. "You are
q Democrat" said German to Davis;
'the Democratic party made you Sem
ator. You must not repay their conf
dence by permitting your son-in-law to
use your wealth and your employees to
deliver the state over to the enemy"
DAVIS BLOCKED THE PLAN.
Thus brought face to face with his
duty, Davis put quietus on some OF his
son-in-law's little plans. The Baltimore
and Ohio railroad was also inclined TO
favor the election of Blaine. To the
president Of the road went German. "lf
you help put Blaine in the White
House," said Gormal, she may be your
good friend. But please remember that
the legislatures OF West Virginia aud
MARYLAND are Democratic, and that Mr..
Blaine cannot control them" The Bal
timore and Ohio at once assented, and
to the end maintained. an attitude OF
strict neutrality.
In this campaign tits feared ex-Sena-
tor Davis has placed all the power OF his
great corporations in Elkins' hands, and
that the ex-senator would not be at all
displeased were his friend Harrison TO
win reelection and his son-in-law to
secure a seat in the United States
Senate.

perform an interesting experiment
by separating the soluble salt. 1t is
only necessary to place a little gun
powder in a glass half filed with
water and allow it to stand day OF
so in a warm place-such as sunny
windowsill.
The saltpeter will first dissolve in
the water, and then creeping up the
sides of the glass will crystalline
around the edge, as shown in the
illustration. The creeping property
of certain salts is very interesting
and sometimes a very annoying
one to the chemist. Ammoniac
chloride, or sal ammoniac, possesses
it in high degree, and it may often
be observed incrusting the edges of
electric batteries, in which it's solu-
tion is used as an exciting agent. 1t
may be prevented by covering the
edges of the vessel containing it with
grease, wax or paraffin.
The residue left in the tumbler
consists Of sulphur and charcoal, but
there is no simple method of separat-
ing them. The sulphur will dissolve
in bisulphide of carbon, but we can
not recommend the use of this in
flammable and offensive liquid to the
amateur in chemistry.

when the Housewife Returns.

Without realizing it our housewife
is ready to undo all the good CLEANED
from the summers outing, writes
Helen Jay in her timely article on
Getting Home from the Country,
in the Ladies' Home Journal. 1t is
a characteristic of the average Amer
lean woman to be rather pitiless in
her treatment of herself. After the
weeks during which she attempted
nothing in the way of exercise save a
walk now and then, she too often
rushes into a perfect hurricane of
work. She cleans the house from
garnet to ceiling, renovates the ward
robes of the children and gets them
in readiness for school, and then pre-
serves and pickles every accessible
atom of vegetable growth. As a re-
suit, If she escapes severe illness,
she quickly loses the vitality and en-
thusiasm which should have been her
stock in trade for the entire winter.
BY following the wise old adage and
making haste slowly she can set
her house In order, take care of her
self, and with it all see well to the
ways Of her household
