TO CALL A HALT.
Presidents Power to Stop Immi-
grafton from Infected Districts.

The Progress of the PIague--News
From Quarantine, and All over
the wOrId--Many RumOrs Dis
PEELED.
WASHINGTON, September 16.-The at
torney general has rendered an opinion de-
claring that the president of the United
States has the power to exclude all vessels
coming from any foreign port or country
where any contagious disease may exist.
This opinion would justify the president
in case he exercised his power to totally
bar out all vessels from cholera ports.
NEW York, September 16.-The morning
is clear and chilly and it is becoming evi-
dent that frost is not far away. No symp-
toms Of panic from cholera are reported
from any part Of the city, and everybody
appears most hopeful. The street cleaning
department is Fastening its efforts and the
odor of disinfectants is upon the air every
where, showing that individuals are doing
their part. Funds for protection are piling
up daily. The chamber of commerce has
raised $156,OCO. Behind all the local effort
is proven the strength of the state and its
blunt and positive executive. He said in
an interview that he didn't care damn for
votes lost or won by any action taken by
him as governor, in a case like the present
cholera trouble. The people have all read
this statement of Governor Flower, and
they feel more than ever reassured. The
storm buffeted the passengers Of the Nor
mania, and they are having another ex-
perlence of delay this morning. They have
been released from quarantine and left Fire
island this morning for New York. The
tide was out, however, and the Cepheus
ran aground near Fire island. There is no
danger, but the vessel must wait for a flow
tide.
QUARANTINE, September 16.--Dr. Byron
telegraphs that he has visited the Bohemia.
There are 633 steerage passengers, ten cabin
passengers and a crew of seventy-seVen
aboard the vessel, all apparently we'll The
condition of the vessel, as regards cleanli-
ness, IS first-rate. The dead on board num-
bers eleven.
The board of health this morning issued
bulletin stating that the only suspected
case of cholera in the city since the last
bulletin IS Edward Hoppe, who died yes
terday. His case is under investigation
QUARANTINE, September 16.-Eleyen
deaths on board the Bohemia are given
as due to gastro-intestinal trouble, by the
doctor, but according to all appearances
they are due to genuine Asiatic cholera
She left the plague-stTicken city of Ham
burg on September Sd, and three days later
Sara DistOr was taken ill. The woman in
question was 20 years of age, and her little
child was taken Off on the same date
Next day Rewke Wessli and two children
succumbed. So it went on day by day.
There were two on the 9Th and then a stav
of four days when again a case was re-
corded. The 18th day saw only one death
and then the pest rested until the day of
her arrival, when three children, aged from
/ to s, died within few niles Of port. On
her arrival there we're four sick on board
who werel Immediately removed to Swim
burne island.
ST. PETERSBURG, September 16.-Fiftv-
the city yesterday, as against fifty-fiYe of
the previous day. The deaths were only
eighty-nine, less than the previous day.
There are 682 steerage and seven cabin
passengers on the Bohemia.
HAvRE, September 16-Fifteen new cases
Of cholera were here yesterday, two more
than on Wednesday. There were three
deaths, four less than on Wednesday.
GREENPoRT, l.. l., September 16.-Great
excitement has been created here by the
discovery that two steerage passengers
from the Moravia have got ashore by some
means and are at this place. No explana-
ton is given as to how they got ashore.
The women brought with them several
children and consequently their basgage
The house in which they live is in a thickly
settled part of the village, but a strict
quarantine of the premises has been or
dered by the health officers.
LONDON, September 16.-A cargo of
freight from Hamburg, consigned to deal
ers in the CoYent Garden market, arrived
here yesterday. The officers of the local
government were warned of its arrival and
at once went to examine it. They found
most of the fruit loaded in vans going to
the factories in the East End, where cheap
jams are manufactured. Though it is
known that the fruit was gathered in the
districts that are being raYaged by cholera,
the officials decided that as it was sound
they could not cOnhscate it. TWenty-six
rampOrs of plums, part of the same cargo,
were sent to Exeter, where they were
promptly seized and burned by the health
authorities, who are less fastidious over
the Interpretation of the legal enactments
when the lives of the community are
threatened.
OTTAWA, September 16.-The government
has been informed of the arrival at Quebec
of a number of emigrants from Europe
with through tickets for the United States.
The railway company absolutely refuses to
allow immigrants to board the trains and
they are simply stranded in the Provincial
capital. They want to take possession of
the federal immigration building, but the
government requires these buildings for
Canadian immigrants, hence the foreign
bound arrivals are thrown on their own re-
sources. The difficulty will probably only
be solved by the steamship company taking
these people back to Europe.
JERSEY CITY, N. j., September 16.-This
city had three cholera scares last night and
this morning. Health Inspector Benjamin
was kept on the go in his carriage last
night and this marning. He declared
none Of the rumors had any foundation in
fact.
