ChoIera Prenared 80

WASHINGTON. d. c., August 25.-Although
no real fear that the cholera will reach the
United States is expressed by the authorities
of the treasury department, they are taking
all precautions deemed necessary to prevent
its introduction. Circulars have heretofore
been issued to customs officers directing the
disinfection of baggage from cholera in
fected ports. Health officers at New York
and Baltimore have been advised formally
of the existence of cholera at Hamburg and
Havre, as we're also immigrant otlcers at
these ports. Assistant Secretary Spaulding
Is also IN communication with the agents Of
steamship lines looking to the adoption of
some system of disinfection of the baggage
of immigrants before embarking for the
United States.

What They Might Have Done.

NEW YoRK, August Pa special to the
World from Utica says that Governor Flower
stopped there on his way to Albany, and re-
ferrinR to the strike, said: at am inclined
to think that the strikers made a bad move
at the beginning. Is they had gone to work
and had tho president of the Central arrested
foI violating of the laws of the state, they
could have had him convicted and fined
$500 or imprisoned for one year. Last win
ter the legislature passed a law making it
obligatory for railroad company to give
days pay for ten hours, and pay extra for
all over thaG. 1 signed the bill and the
strikers had a good chance to make a test
case. Why did they not do that? If they
had done so, 1 think they would have won
their case"

Time for Aspiration Past.

PHILADELPHIA, August 22.-President Mac
Leod, of the Reading railroad, has sent this:
''I am in receipt of your letter informing
me that the New York state board of media
ton and arbitration has written to you that
one Sweeny is willing to arbitrate and has
asked whether this company is willing to
consent to arbitration. You are instructed
TO reply to the board that, in the opinion of
the management of this company, the time
to ask for or consider the question of arbitra-
ton had passed when the men abandoned
the service of the company, destroyed its
property and threatened to murder its en-
ploycs. They are now, therefore. in my
Judgment, not entitled to any consideration
other than that of outlaws.

York, and if it should become general a
famine would shortly result Produce men

OF mutton, lamb and veal. Butter has gone

been notified officially by the government
health Office of that city of the presence of
Asiatic cholera there, and he accordingly re-

vessels.
Consul Williams, at Havre, reports the cpl
demic of Aslatic cholera at that place, with
many deaths, and advises the inspection of
the fast liner Latouraine. These facts have
been promptly communicated to the health
officers at Staten Island and every precau-

has now reached two of the most important
ports in Europe with which the United States

and midnight 10000 people arrived in the
city.
Early in the afternoon the camping knights
were given lesson in the hardships of camp
life and were shown what the windy west can
do In the way of storms. The fury of the
storm did not last over quarter of an hour,
but in that time it did considerable mischief.
Several tents were blown down, and those
which renamed standing were filed with
dust, which flew in clouds before the rain
fell. Everything not well sheltered was
soaked with rain and good deal of discom-
future was the result. The rain also marred
somewhat the beauty of the down town deco
rations.

at other points. They visited Suspension
Bridge and drove away the switchmen who
were making up and sending out freight
trains. lot of toughs from Buffalo visited
the yards and drove the switchmen and yard
men away. The strikers hourished revolv-

police of Suspension Bridge rushed to the
scene, but the strikers were too strong and
too well armed for them to do anything.
The Central authorities called upon the
sheriff of Niagara county to protect their
property, telling him that they would hold
the county responsible for all damage to
their property.

charter from the Hawaiian legislature. The
company Will agree to pay a million dollars
toward the cable; to run a weekly line of
steamers to San Francisco, and to pay one
half of the expenses of the government and
other liberal donations. Owing to the pres

prove a veritable bonanza to Hawaii, and it
is quite probable the company will receive

BUFFALO, N. Y, August %. - There is
something more than muttering in Erie
county over the enormous expense that is
entailed by the maintenance of troops in
this city.
The strikers and other citizens as well,

to control 500 men who are on a strike. The
position of the professionals does not recog-

claimed and doubtless have been largely the
cause of the disturbance which gave rise to
the orders bringing the troops here.

August az, 1892.
PRECIPITATION
The rainfall has been unevenly distributed
this week, being confined to two nearly paral-
lei belts across the state, one of which extends
from Greedy nOrtheastward to Washington,
one other from Clark east-northeast to Wood
son whence it divides, one arm extending
northeast through Shawnee and Leaven-
worth, the other southeast through Crawford
and Cherokee. In the first belt the greatest
rainfall occurs in Trego; in the second belt
it occurs in Cherokee. Within these belts
the rainfall has generally been ample for
present needs. Still the precipitation Is de-
dcient over the entire state with the excep-
ton of Cove, TregO, Ellis and Rocks IN the
northwest, and Cherokee in the southeast.
In the southeastern part of Cove and the
western and northern portions of Irego the
excess amounts to over half an inch. while IN
the eastern third of the state the deficiency
generally amounts to over three-Quarters Of
an inch.
TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE.
The temperature has averaged very nearly
normal, being slightly above in the central
counties of the middle and eastern divisions
and slightly below north and south of these
counties.
The sunshine has been excessive.

in Buffalo at the same time.
The impression created upon the strikers
along the lines in East Buffalo was, that the
railroad companies are making a powerful
demonstration. The men do not all pause
to discriminate between the railroads and
the state and the presence of the state vol

evidence of the corporate strength of the
