BREAKWATER BARRACKS.
A STRUCTURE HOLDING SIX HUN
DReD PEOPLE WILL BE BUILT.

which will be the first steamer bound for
the port Of Philadelphia to come within
the provisions of the presidents procla-
nation establishing the twenty days
quarantine for foreign vessels carrying
emigrants.
The people on the Ohio are In a
quandary from Captain Sargent down as
to whether they will be forced to under
60 the twenty days detention. The
whole trouble lies with few passengers
taken on at Queenstown, The Ohio left
Liverpool on August 81, and at once pro-
ceeded to her port in Ireland, where she
stopped only long enough 20 tafe
on the twenty passengers who
were there awaiting. This was
done, howsver, on September 1,
the day on which the presidents proc
| lamation went into effect. A knotty
point here arises as TO what time the
Ohio took those twenty-four passengers
on board, and IL notice of the order had
reached the old world before or after tn,
embarking Of the emigrants. The Who'll,
matter now rests in the hands Of tn,

BERLIN, Sept. 13-Emperor William
in his interview with Mr. Steinway, gave
that gentleman the impression that a
visit by him to the Chicago fair would
depend upon the state of European and
home politics. Mr.. Steinway was sur
prsed at the emperor's knowledge of the
position of the Germans in America
Referring to the fight against the chol-
era and to the supremacy of the Wash
ington government over the individual
states, the emperor remarked that he
wished the same system was fully in force
In Germany. He begged Mr.. Steinway
to convey his kind regards TO Mr. John
Bigelow, and his regrets for Mr.
Poultney Bigelow's illness. When
some months ago, the emperor
limited to his private. circle his desire to
visit Chicago, it was suggested that a
secret visit be made while somebody per-
sonated him on a tour to the north cape,
but the suggestion found no favor.
Many people here think that there is
less objection to be made to the en-

1t was announced in Wilmington on
Wednesday that Gov. Reynolds had
signed pardon for William j. Cal
houn, which would be presented to
him in Jail to-day. 1t will be remem-
bered that four years ago Calhoun was
sentenced to be hung, being convicted
of felonous assault upon a feeble old
woman. Two days before the date for
his execution Gov. Biggs granted re-
spite of twenty-five years imprison-
ment. Since then his friends have
worked hard to secure his pardon.
The famous letter of Gov. Reynolds
to " Friend Dickey," in which he
agrees to pardon Calhoun in return for
political services his friends might
render, is too fresh in the minds of the
people to even need mention. The
service was given, and III the fullness
IT time the pardon is granted, and
Justic-ehides her face.
