What Dr. Seaman said in the interview printed
in Tuesdays Tribune regarding the cholera scare
has the merit Of strong common sepse based upon
large professional experience. This physician has
seen cholera in many countries and has lately
been making a special study Of it in Paris lie

Illness exists, and that the danger of catching
IL, provided person is in good health and Of cor
rect habits, is almost nothing at all. Yet while
the chances of an epidemic of the disease here are
SMALL indeed, DR.. Seaman's emphatic words should
not he understood as indicating that the prccau-
tons which have been taken in the way of clean
ing the city, insurlng pure water supply, ETC.,
are useless, No doubt there was needless alarm,

The September which closes to-day has been as
perfect month as Is often vouchsafed to mankind
in this latitude and longitude. There has been
almost complete absence of rain. and Of that
oppressive heat which sometimes comes with the
first month OF autumn. The days with few en-
ceptions. have been bright and crisp. and the
nights cool and comfortable. City folk. who have
been fortunate enough or wise enough to linger
in the country during September, have seen the
country at its best though lacking. of course the
luxuriance and profusion Of early summer. On
almost every one Of the last thirty days the aues
ton might we'll have been asked: What is so
rare as a day in September"

A Chicago suicide Club.

CHICAGO, May 4.-If the story of An
drew Rudman Is to be believed, Chicago
has a full fedged suicide society. One
member, Joseph Kraker, went quietly
to Douglass park, put bullet through
his brain ar6 dropped dead The other,
Rudman himself, tried to add little
sensation to his taking off, and is still
alive and uninjured. He began by
stealing $50, with which he purchased a
revolver. He then called on his sweet
heart, Eva Dressler, shot at her without
effect, chased her father around the
block, firing as he ran, sent couple of
bullets through the front door as the
perspiring parent reached the house,
shot at a crowd of small boys, shot ut
his own head and missed, and finally
wound up by sending ball through
the coat of a policeman, who arrested
him. He confessed his connection with
the suicide club, Of which Kraker was
also member . ...

MORE STORM DAMAGE.
Fourteen Houses Demoralized by Wind
in Oklahoma.


KINGFIsHER, o. r., May A tornado
touched the outskirts of this town, doing
great damage to growing crops, over
turning houses in its path, and killing a
considerable number of young stock,
finally spending its force about fifteen
miles distant from here. Fourteen res
licences outside of the city were de-
stroyed, and F. A. Bidwell, of York,
Neb., and his son were killed.
Simon Bates, a farmer, while riding,
was overtaken by the tornado. He dis
mounted and held his horse by the lariat
rope. The horse became frantic and
wound Bates up in the rope. Before he
could extricate himself the horse was
lifted from the earth and carried a hun
dred feet. Bates left leg was fractured
and he received internal injuries.
George Rickert and his family of ten
entered a dugout, and the house was
torn to atoms. A portion of the roof
was hurled against the roof of the cave,
crushing it in. All escaped with bruises.
CREsToN, Ia, May 4.-The latest rain
storm was the most disastrous one that
has ever been known in this locality.
The lChicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad, south from Creston, suffered a
severe loss, twenty miles of roadbed
being entirely submerged. Heavy wash
outs have occurred between Lennox and
Bedford. There is not country bridge
left. Crops on rolling Sround are badly
damaged, if not entirely washed out.
The loss will exceed 100000.

Mississippi Train Wreckers.

HOLLY SPRINGS, Mo-, May A das-

Benger train No. 4, two miles north Of
here. Piles Of tics and rails were placed
across the track just the other side of a
curve where there is deep embank-
ment. The engineer saw the obstruc-
hon in time to avoid terrible catas-
trophe, but not soon enough to stay the
damage to the engine and severe shaking
up of the passengers While the OBJ
Btruction was being cleared away
heavy freight train ran into the rear of
the passenger, demolishing the sleeper
and setting it on fire. 1t was totally
consumed.

HARRISON'S CHANCES
The President Will be Renomi-
mated on the First Ballot.
COME INTERESTING FIGURES.

Already Over Three Hundred In
structed Delegates, and There
Are Enough Assurances to
Swell the Number to Five
Hundred and Thirteen.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The corres-
pondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star
sent the following special to his paper:
President Harrison will be renomi-
mated by the Minneapolis convention on
the first ballot. Assurances of that fact
have been received here already. An
absolutely correct memorandum which
has been kept of the state and district
conventions, which have up to this time
instructed delegates to vote for the re-
nomination of Harrison, shows the fol-
lowing:
Alabama, 22; Arkansas, 16; Califor-
MIA, Q; Florida, 8; Illinois, 6; Indiana,
30; Kansas, 8; Kentucky, 26: Maryland,
4; Michigan, a; Mississippi, IL; Missouri,
"a; Nebraska, 16; New York, 26; Ohio,
@; South Carolina, Is; South Dakota, 8;
Tennessee, q Texas, 80; Virginia, 8;
Wisconsin, 10. Total instructed dele
BaCeS, OUS.
Over Five Hundred Assured.
Private information has been received
from those who have either been chosen
delegates, or will be, and in the alb
sence of specific instructions can vote ac-
cording to their best Judgment, that the
president has already strength in the
convention in addition to the above to
the aggregate Of ell, making a grand
total of assurances at present of 5i3 del
egates.
The additional delegates will be from
states and territories as follows:
Arizona, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts,
Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Ok
lahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West
Virginia, Georgia and Maryland.
The exact number of delegates from
those states and territories are abso-
lutely known here, in nearly every in
stance the names being recorded, and
there is not the least speculation or ap-
proximate guessing in the statement
that besides the 3O2 instructed delegates
scheduled above an additional aggregate
of eli votes are in sight for renomina-
ton upon the first ballot. This abso-
lutely iusures denomination, with SO
votes to spare.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.
The Conference Committees Bill
Passes the Senate.
PROVISIONS OF THE MEASURE.

All Chinese Laborers Now Here
Must Secure a Certificate of
Residencc-FaiIu to Do This
May Result in His Arrest and
Deportation.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The vice presi-
dent laid before the senate the confer
ence report on the Chinese exclusion
bill, which was read. The new sections
are rs follows:
After the passage of this act, on an
application to any judge or court Of the
United States in the first instance for
writ of habeas corpus by Chinese per-
son seeking to land in the United States,
to whom that privilege has been denied,
no bail shall be allowed, and such ap-
plication shall be heard and determined
promptly without unnecessary delay.
1t shall be the duty of all Chinese la
borers within the limits of the United
States at the time of the passage Of this
act, and who are entitled to remain in
the United States, to apply to the col
lector of internal revenue of their re-
spective districts, within one year after
the passage of this act, for certificate
Of residence, and any Chinese laborer
within the limits of the United States
who shall neglect, fail or refuse to COM
ply with the provisions of this act, or
VINO, after one year from the passage
hereof, shall be found within the juris-
diction of the United States without
such certificate of residence, shall be
deemed and adjudged to be unlawfully
within the United States, and may be
arrested by any United States customs
official or marshal and taken before a
United States judge, whose duty it shall
be to order that he be deported from the
United States unless he shall establish
clearly to the satisfaction of the said
judge that by reason of accident, sick
ness or other unavoidable cause he has
been unable TO procure his certificate,
and to the satisfaction of the court, and
by at least one creditable witness, that
he was resident Of the United States
at the time of the passage of this act;
and if upon the hearing it shall appear
that he is so entitled to a certificate it
shall be granted upon his paying the
cost.
Should it appear that said Chinaman
had procured certificate, which had
been lost or destroyed, he shall be de-
detained and Judgment suspended rea-
souabe time to enable him to procure
duplicate from the officer granting it,
and in such cases the costs of said ar
rest and trial shall be in the discretion
of the court. And any Chinese person
other than a Chinese laborer having
right to be aud remain in the United
States, desiring such certificate rs evil
dence of such right may apply for and
receive the same without charge.
Senator Sherman, in the course of the
dehate that followed the reading of the
bill, stated that he was perfectly willing
to provide further restrictions against
Chinese labor, but that the clause pro-
viding for their registration or arrest
within year was violation of treaty
obligations. After lengthy discussion
the bill passed by vote Of 30 to Is, the
nays being Messrs. Bate, Call. Colquitt,
Dawes, Dixon, Frye. George, Gray,
higgins, Kyle, Palmer, Platt, Pugh,
Sherman and Wilson.

On Strike for Air.

New BRUNSWICK, N. j., May A.
Fifty men and boys went on strike in
the lawn tennis shoe room of the United
States Rubber company's factory be-
cause of alleged bad ventilation. The
windows We're nailed down at the bot
tom, allowing only the upper sash to be
lowered to admit fresh air. Because of
oppressive heat the hands asked to be
allowed to open the windows from the
bottom, but this privilege was refused.
They thereupon donned their coats and
stopped work. The superintendent said
that the order was necessary to protect
the goods in course of manufacture from
draught, since the air served TO impair
the quality of the material.

RALEIGH, n. G., May 4.-Lymon Pur-
dee, coored, was lynched in Bladen
county for the murder of Edward Cain,
employed on farm. Cain went out to
the barn on Thursday night to lock the
door Next morning Mrs. Dunham,
wife of the farmer for whom he worked,
found his dead body in front of the barn
door, with the throat cut. Purdee was
suspected, and his blood stained cloth
ing and other circumstances established
his guilt to the satisfaction of the com
munity. 1t is supposed that Cain found
Pnrdee pillaging the barn and that the
negro killed him in consequence. The
colored people in the neighborhood

M sRCIER ON TRIAL.


inSS Email be Secfet.
MONTREAL, May 4.-Great interest
was evinced in the opening of the trial
of ex-Premier Mercier, Hon. Charles
Langelier and Ernest Pacaud on the
charge of conspiracy in c,Shection with
the Langlais contract. The trial com
menced in the police court room, which
was packed.
Mercier was early in court, and ap-
peared in excellent hulnor, greeting
Pacaud with Hello, conspirator." He
refused to say anything. and says that if
any interview appears attributed to him
1t is entirely unauthorized. Judge
Chaveau made a statement to the effect
that the investigation, which was only
preliminary would be made in private,
and requested all except the prisoners
counsel and witnesses to withdraw. The
press representatives asked whether they
were included in this order and We're
answered in the affirmative. They then
retired under protest, along with several
members Of parliament. The judge sub
sequently stated that the press would be
given such part of the testimony as the
court might see fit after each days sit
ting.
This action of Judge Chaveau created
great indignation, and was much com
inented on. The trial is likely to last
some days, as host of witnesses are
summoned.

of the victims of the cruel flames that
on Wednesday night of last week de-
yastated the Central theater, died at the
Pennsylvania hospital. Shortly after
ward Joseph Silver, of this city, died of
his burns. The death Of Holmes and
Silver brings the number of lives already
to be charged up against the dread
conhagratiun up to nine. There are
still several patients in the Pennsyl-
vMnia hospital whose state is precnrious.
