CAMP Low, Sandy Hook, Sept. 2O.-The
medical summary of the camp shows one
death from cholera, one case under treat
ment and one death from peritonitis. DR..
Hamilton sent DR.. Jenkins a message last
night, announcing the death from cholera,
and requesting that tug be sent imme-
diately to remove the body TO Swinburne
Island. The boat did not come until after
IL o'clock this morning, and General Rami!-
ton received no answer to his telegram. He

a feeling is growing that clash will
sooner or later take place, not so much be-
tween the Federal and State authorities as
between DR.. Jenkins and ex-Surgeon-G Gen.
eral Hamilton. DR.. jenkins has stated that
he thinks it is very iniudcious for DR..
Hamilton to announce that there was
cholera in Camp Low unless he had ab-
solute proof, which would only be obtained
by bacteriologieal examination. General
Hamilton said this afternoon: "Dr. Jenk-
ins and 1 have had no friction and our
meetings have always been pleasant, but the
result here shows that tile State authorities
have not kept faith in sending Us infected
passengers" No new cases of sickness
were reported in camp to-day.

The Disease Attributed to sireetwork In
Hamburg.
LoEDoS. Sep:. 2O.-The Times special
from Hamburg says with reference to the
progress of the plague: If the disease was
imported into Hamburg it was not by poor
emigrants but by the better class of Ger
mans retreating from Russia. The most
likely explanation, however, Is. the cholera
germs were not imported at all. but left In
the soil from previous epidemcs. as is known
TO be the case in India and elsewhere; aud
their activity was due to peculiar influences
during the present cholera season. Fur
therm0re, during the early and middle sum-
meT Hamburg underwent an extraordinary
process Of fdlsembOweling. The streets were
torn up In every direction for the purpose of

hands and swallowed them with their food.
The connection Of the drainage with the
water supply did the rest
The correspondent defends the authnri-
ties against the charge OF hiding the truth
IN regard to the ravages of the disease. He
declares the first time case proved TO bs
cholera was on August %; that the various
Consuls in the city were notified ofsthe fact
August % Cases occurred earlier, but they
had not been proved TO be OF the Asiatc
type. II would have been most improper,
the correspondent adds, for the Burgomas-
ter to declare the town infected before he
was quite positive such was the case.
In regard to the responsibility Of taking
the cholera to America, the correspondent
says the steamer Moravia sailed before the
fact Of the outbreak had been made public
and that the NormannIa sailed August
26. when the American Government was In
full possession Of the facts. Every effort
was made by means OF double medical in
spection to secure the exclusion OF illness
on the steamers before they sailed, and
nothing more could be done.

He will receive his official copy later.

"This is what you ght call the opening

reporter the translation of the Six Com
panies' letter.
King Owyang, as favor to his country
men. made the translation of the corrected
letter from Chinese into English ana vice
versa.
He was called upon to do it because of
the fact that he is not only an accomplished
English scholar but one of the best versed
men in Chinese in America.
Heretofore" continued King, "all the
proclamations issued by the Six Companies
have been addressed to the Chinese.
Now they give TO the Government Of the
United States their reasons for issuing the

IL do not care to discuss the letter. /

TELEGRAPHERs' DEMANDS.
Operators on Jay Gouli's Railroads Want
More Wages

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2O-The telegraphers on
the Missouri Pacific Railroad have made
demand for the adjustment OF grievances.
The difficulty, which is authortatiyely
stated to mean higher wage scale, will
affect over 400 operators on the immense
series Of Gould lines, and the outcome will
be watched with interest by telegraphers
generally, following so soon after the recent
Kansas City Telegraphers' convention.
The recognition of the order of Railway
TeleTaphers. too, is involved. and incl
denlaly the several recent conferences with
Chief Ramsay assume added interest.
Ramsay has been in consultation for weeks
with the most influential members OF the
order, and has also learned what sympathy
and Tow much Of it may be expected from
the allied railway orders.

of Railway Telegraphers ordering the men

utation to Sir g. r. Dbbs. Prime Minister
and Colonial Secretary of New South Wales.
10 demand the release OF the labor agita-
tors who were arrested in connection with
the strike at the Broken Hill mine. The
Prime Minister refused to see the depuiation
until tomorrow morning. When the crowd
were informed they were highly incensed,
and under the leadership of the more tut bu-
lent members they rushed to the House of
Parliament and tried TO effect an entrance.
They would have been successful had they
not been repulsed by armed police The most
intense excitement has prevailed through
out the city and the rioters are continually
gaining fresh accessiOns to their ranks
from the lawless element. Many threats of
violence were made, and it was thought
highly probable that the mob would at
tempt TO release the prisoners from the jail
in which they are confined. Orders were
issued TO hold the military in readiness for
any service that they might be called upon
to perform. Late this evening it looked as
though an outbreak might be precipitated
at any moment.

Albert Rollt, the president. said he was
not able to congratulate the country upon
the trade prospects. The coal, iron and
steel trades were dull, the textile industries
were harassed by the American tariff and
perplexed by the economic. monetary aud
labor problems. Sheffield and other CELL
ters complained of the destruction of old
branches of business by the tariff. and ship
building was little more than a remem-
brance. The official returns, Sir Albert
added, showed that there was little likeli-
hood of a bctterment in the present cond-
tiOns, and the volume OF Edgland's trade
was declining. A resolution was adopted
favoring universal free trade between the
colonies and Great Britain.
