INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 27.-A conference
Of the Executive Committee of the Inter-
national Association of State Boards of
Health has begun here to take steps to
prevent the entrance of cholera into this
country. DR.. J. N. Mccormack of Ken
lucky, president of the association; Dr.
G. o. Probst of Ohio, DR.. II. B. Baker of
Michigan and DR.. G. n Metcalf of Indi-
ana are present. The committee decided
TO appoint what is to be known as the
Quarantine Inspection Commission,
which will be instructed to visit the
quarantine stations of the United States,
Canada and Mexico, inspect the stations
and report upon their condition to the
International Conference of the State
Boards of Health.
The committee began telegraphing over
the United States to find men qualified
who would accept positions on the COM
mission, and communication was re-
ceived from the Illinois Health Commits
sion suggesting the expediency of memoir
ializing President Harrison, praying that
he issue a proclamation prohibiting
immigration pending the prevalence of
Asiatic cholera in Europe, signatures to
be secured from boards of Trade and
other similar organizations, from Repre-
sentatives, Senators, Members of Congress
and other influential citizens. To sus-
pend immigration, it was added, is to
make the prevalence of cholera in Amer
lea impossible.

CoNFRssEs HIS MISTAKE.

A contemporary says fhe poor
switchmen who put their confidence
in the wisdom of Grand Master
Sweeney find that he was not the man
for the position. To-day he confesses
his mistake in having ordered the
strike and allows his men to go back
TO their old situations if they can get
them, 1t is easy for those having
authority like Sweeney to throw
hundreds of men out of work But
we are glad to see that the heads OF
other railroad organizations do not
regard strike as the only way of
healing a grievance, and do not think
a strike should be ordered for every
cause, and so positively refused to al
low their sympathy for the switchmen
to extend to the length of strike.
A strike may be right at times, but it

last resort, for the most weighty rea-
sons, and after continued efforts to
procure relief by other means.
Mr.. Sweeney puts the principal
cause of the failure of the strike on
the soldiers. What had the soldiers
to do with It? They did not do the
work of the switchmen. Their sole
duty was to suppress that which Mr..
Sweeney himself said he was opposed
to, namely, acts of violence and de
struction of property. The acts Of
outrage with which the strike was
inagurated Mr.. Sweeney said were moi
the work of the striking switchmen
and were condemned by him. Why
then, should be put any blame on the
soldiers if, as he said no acts of vio-
lence were contemplated by the
strikers? They were present solely
and only to preserve order, an objec
which every law-abidlng citizen in th'
state must applaud

LONDON, Aug. 27, = The Hamburg
American steamship Columbia will not
proceed to Hamburg. She is unloading
here and will start for New York to-day.
The steamship Normandie, of the Ham

London is alarmed, although there have
been only two cases here There is no

BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug 27.-The strikers
are still very angry with Sweeney who
has gone, it is said, to Chicago. A pcr.
tion, at least, of the men have ca rnest
convictions that the movement might
have been successful if they had held out
longer, and they are very outspoken in
their denunciations Of their leader, accus
ing him of having sold out to the rail
roads
''Why, we had the strike practically
won" said a switchmRn this morning
GAN we wanted was time. We only had
the roads tied up in Buffalo and vicinity
We could have extended the strike from
the Atlantic to the Pacific"
what authority had Sweeney to call
off the stlikep interjected another. B9
"He did not order it except to sign the
order for the strike when the roads were
read to 60 out The strike was ordered
by the local lodges, and should have con-
tinued until the local lodges declared the
cause lost. Sweeney took upon himself
an authority that did not belong to him
The strike was settled probably to his
satisfaction, but not to the satisfaction
of the men. The men may have some
thing to say about this"
A number of the Rochester and Pitts
burg striking switchmen called upon
Supt. Bartlett during the morning and
asked to be re-instated. They were told
that there was no use of their applying
as not one of them should ever again b.
employed on the road. The Superintend
ent is quoted as saying that the compan,
made every consideration possible to tn
men and had treated them fairly in ever
particular. They were determined to ii
up the road, and now the road would tt
them up.
The Lackawanna switchmen went OF
strike again yesterday. Several member
of the crews at the foot of Main stree
were refused unemployment, and as tn
men had agreed not to go back unless a
of their number were put at work, the
men who had already gone back gu

NO ABATEMENT IN HAMBURG.
Indignation Against Authorities for Sup
pressing the News.

HAMBURG, Aug 27.-There are reported
202 fresh cases of cholera and SO deaths.
The weather is much cooler. In the
vicinity of the harbor the disease shows
nosign of abating.
Forty private companies are at work
disinfecting dwellings in the city and su-
burbs. General indignation is felt toward
the authorities because they suppressed
for three weeks the fact that cholera was
spreading in the city.
In Altoona the water supply is failing.
1t is reported that in Pineneberg and Kiel
several cases of cholera have been discov-
cred.
The suspension has been ordered of all
traffic on the Russian frontier except at
| Eydtkuhmen and Prostken. A multitude
of intending emigrants have been stopped
at points on the frontier, and driven back
| to Russia. In the two stations named,
| travellers and baggage undergo rigid in
spection and disinfection. Prof. Esmarch,
of Kiel, and Dr. CHASER, have charge OF
the sanitary service on the frontier.

sobbed Maria "hnd thought when she
was so rich she would surely get it for
me. The girls both cried themselves
to sleep because they've wanted gold
watches so long and they thought sure
Aunt Malviny would get them some.
And Johnny's madder'n wet hen
about that ncc<tie."
George, poor man, like most men,
could not stand the tears, so he com
forted her in this wise:
"Never mind, Maria, Aunt Malviny
don't look AS though she could stand it
long. You and the girls can have your
silk dress and your watches bime by.
just stop crying and go to sleep now. :"
Georges comforting words had their
effect upon Maria. Instead of going to
sleep she was soon discussing the plan
for an enlargement of her house which
was to be furnished with a Brussels
carpet and n piano.
They also had their effect upon the
unwilling listener in the next room
whose life seemed opening out into
longer vistas than ever before.

the inhabitants to do more than to save
their own lives"
My home was in ashes, with every
thing it contained. Indeed my only
place of refuge was JAMES humble
home, which was a little outside the
track of the fire. My farms were
swept clear of everything, buildings,
