Fears That the Rig Encampment May
 Bring Cholera to the Capital.
 WASHINGTON, Sep. 17.-The appearance of cholera in New York occasions great uneasiness among the citizens of Wash ington in view of the fact that 25O, 900 strangers coming from all parts of the country will be crowded together here next week. Every arrangement has been made for the comfort of the guests, but the sanitary conditions will not be per- feet, and would be favorable to the rapid spread of the disease should 1t appear here during the encampment.
 The camp is on low ground with only temporary sewerage, and the school houses which will be occupied are not provided with the convenisnces of dwell ings. There will be no freight brought to the city during the encampment on ac- count Of the immense travel on the rail roads and most of the food supply will have to be kept for a week. The authori- ties speak lightly of the danger, and they will do we'll to take greater precautions, is the general opinion, than they have yet taken.
 The Federal authorities will do all they can to help preserve the healthful sur roundings of the veterans during their visit. Secretary Foster said that he doe 8. not think there is any danger to the en- campment from the cholera. He said New York as very serious, believing that the disease would not be allowed to spread. He did not think there was req son to apprehend its appearance here, nor that 1t would in any way interfere with the eDcampment.

GOV. FLOWER THREATENED.
A MysterIOus Box Sent to Him at the
 Widsor Hotel, New York.

A MysteriOus Box Sent to Him at the
 WidsOr Hotel, New York.
 NEW YORK, Sep. 17.-A mysterious box, which is believed to contain an in fernal machine, was received by Gov. Flower at his cholera headquarters in the Windsor Hotel day or two ago. The nature of the contents were fortunately discovered before any harm was done.
 The box was followed up by a letter the contents of which indicated that it was inspired by the same disordered brain which planned the mysterious machine.
 The manly stand taken by the Cover nor in resisting the mob at Fire Island and in placing the unhappy passengers of the Normannia in the shelter provided for them by the State seems to be the only excuse for the outrage.
 It was just after the Governor sent his personal check to bind the purchase of the Surf Hotel that the internal machine fiend formulated his scheme It would be unjust to accuse the representative of any particular set or class of men, but the inference is that the scheme of mur- der originated in the mind of some man in earnest sympathy with rioters at Fire Island,

 gees at Puerto Cabe1lo.
 WASHINGTON, Sep. 17.-The news which the Navy Department gives out so briefly, stating that the Concord, the first of Admiral Walkers squadron to ar rive at La Guayra, had been ordered to proceed to Puerto Cabello, 80 or 100 miles up the coast, now that the Kearsarge had arrived to relieve guard at La Guayra, is understood to mean more than the simple announcement would imply.
 Navy officials now intimate that the political refugees who were forcibly taken from on board the American "Red D. steamer Caracas are believed to be inn prisoned by Gen. Urdeneta, the Venezue- Ian official who ordered their arrest, at Puerto Cabello, and Commander Whites mission with the Concord will be to de- mand their immediate release and restora- tion to the protection of the United States flag.
 This is in line with the policy which the present administration adopted in the Barrundia affair, only it goes one step further than that incident.

MRS. HARRIsoN,s CONDITION.
Physicians Will Not Make Predictions q
 to Her Chances for Recovery.


 to Her Chances for Recovery.
 LOON LAKE, N. Y, Sep. 17.-"Gen- eral condition may be said to be i'm proved" said Dr. Doughty, just before leaving for New York, after an examina- tion of Mrs. Harrison.
 ''Her condition is slightly improved, but is still critical" wired Private Sec retary Halford to those who sent anxious inquiries during the morning concerning the mistress of the White House.
 From these statements it will be seen that Mrs. Harrison has improved in some slight degree, but she is still in most critical condition. She is by no means on the road to recovery, but danger of deaGh is not so imminent as it was a few days ago.
 The physicians, though, make no pre- dictions as to her chances for recovery. The President and the members of his party look more cheerful than they have for many days. Faint hope was born af- ter the operation yesterday, and it suf- fuses the dropping spirits of the afflicted family.

REVEALED BY DEATH.
A Cholera Suspect a Baron--He Was a
 lieutenant of Uhlans.


 NEW YORK, Sep. 17.-The Bowery lodger who died on Tuesday at Bellevue Hospital, under circumstances that sug- gested Asiatic cholera, was the Baron Won Wittken of Poerania. His identity has been revealed by Alexis Schoenemark, who called on Gen. Clark st Sanitary headquarters to ascertain if the report of his friends death from cholera had been contradicted, as it had been established that he had poisoned himself with arse nic.
 Schoenemark said Won Wittken was 2S years old. His family were all mili- tary people and he obtained lieutenancy in the Uhlan Lancers in which regiment his father was 8 major. When he died the Baron inherited $50,000. He squan- dered it within 8 year and came to America six months ago. He tried in vain to get employment and became de- spondent. The last his friend saw of him was on Monday, when he gave him fifty cents.

WOMEN SUFFRAGISTS LOSE
But the Bill That Has Set England to
Thinking Was Not Badly Beaten.
Liberals Are UnexplainabIy Bitterly Opposed
to the Scheme-Iate Reports of Battle
In Venezuela, with Hundreds Killed.

LONDON, April 27-In the Commons to
day Sir Albert Rollet moved the second
reading of his woman suffrage bill He
derogatory to women exercising the fran
chise in Wyoming. where they had the
right to vote be had official documents
showing that such exercise of the franchise
was beneficial in that State.
Mr.. Samuel Smith moved the rejection
of the bill. He urged that female suf-
frage was introduced in Wyoming by ac-
cident Educated Americans, he said, were
opposed to giving the franchise to women.
The only forces that would bsnefit
by the passage of the bill would be clear
icalism and socialism.
Mr.. Balfour favored the bill. He said he
did not agree with those who held that it
would be degrading for women to take
part In politics. There were other women's
associations. Mr.. Balfour went on to say,
including the Woman's Liberal Federation.
Here MIR. Walter s. McLaren, q Radical,
Interrupted Mr.. Balfour. saving "Of which
Mr.. Gladstone is president"
Mr.. Baifonr said he did not wish TO enter
into personal question, but at any rate
every section of the house was only too
glad to avail themselves of the services Of
women. It did not lie in any of their
months to soy that taking an active part
in framing the policy of the empire would
be degrading TO women.
A most surprising feature of the debate
was the attitude of the Liberals, whose
programme includes q great entension of
the franchise. Mr.. Gladstone did not speak
at all. though from his recent letter it is
known that he is opposed to granting the
franchise to women. A division was taken
on Mr. Rollet's motion and IL was defeated,
the vote standing 175 TO 152
The womans gallery of the House of
Commons was packed, among the occu-
pants being Mrs. Gladstons, Lady Har-
court. Lady Henry Somerset and Mrs. Faw-
cett. The smallness of tho majority against
the motion caused surprise as many had ex-
peoted that it would be rejected by vote
of two to one,

The first military line on the American
continent was built IN April, 1861, and ran
from the war department in Washington
to the navy yard. AS troops came in and
camps were established they were connected
by other lines with the war department,
and when the army crossed the Potomac
the telegraph was pushed after them.
During the war Is, ,389 miles of telegraph
were constructed, and 6,500,000 messages,
many of them long kilograms in cipher,
were sent. There were about 1000 miles of
field lines often worked in battle under fire.
About II 900 operators and as many build
ers and repairers were engaged in the SER
vice. SO far as known 200 of these, or one
in every twelve, were killed, wounded cap
tured or died in service, but as no records
were kept that list is believed to include
little more than half the vlctims.-C Chicago
