SAYS JENKINS IS RIGHT
The Doctor May Hold Vessels
as Long as He Pleases.
OPINION OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Much Comment the Health Ofdcer's
Statements-Not Believed That He VIII
: Attempt to Ignore the Presidents Pro.
clamation Collector Hendricks VIII
Enforce the Order.
WASHINGTON, Sep. 3.-The statement
of DR.. Jenkins, Health Officer of the port
of New York, to the effect that President
Harrison's proclamation directing a quar-
antine of 20 days in the case of all vessels
carrying emigrants from Europe would
be ignored, is the subject of discussion in
official circles. Its tone of Indifference,
not to say hostility, causes considerable
comment
DR.. Jenkins says that he has power to
determine how long vessels should remain
in quarantine, and, Notwithstanding the
Presidents proclamation, he proposes to
use his own discretion, and if necessary,
or as the case demands, suspicious ships
will be held longer or shorter period
than twenty days. His action will be
taken with the understanding that he
alone is responsible, and the President
will not be considered.
CDR. Jenkins is technically right ;" said
Attorney General Miller to a representa-
tive "when he says he is vested with power
to hold any vessel as long as he deemr it
necessary under the statutes. The gen
eral government has no power to enforce
a quarantine on its own motion. That
was the conclusion reached in the opinion
furnished by the Department of Justice
to the President Thursday. That opinion
stated that the Surgeon-General of the
Marine Hospital Service and the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, together with the
Presidents approval, had authority to
make needful rules and regulations, not
inconsistent with the State laws and reg
ulations, for the quarantining of ship
coming into our harbors with a view to
| the protection of the health and lives of
our people.
'That means that nothing can be done
| by the Federal government in opposition
| to or inconsistent with State laws on the
subject, and whatever force the Presi-
| dents proclaim alton will have must be
| given to it by the State authorities.
sit was issued" continued Attorney
| General Miller, ''because it was believed
| the government should do whatever it
| possibly could to prevent the introduction
| of the scourge. 1t has exhausted every
| power within control, and whatever more
| is desired from the government must be
authorized by Congress.
SIN view of the unanimous approval
| which has met the Presidents action in
issuing his proclamation, I very much
doubt DIR. Jenkins will attempt to ignore
or override it. Should he do so, however,
the consequences, whatever they may be,
| must rest with him"
In conclusion Attorney C eneral Miller
| said: eff DR.. Jenkins should decide that
| the Presidents proclamation should not
be enforced, 1 would advise the summon
| ing of Congress, to meet within 10 days
to clothe the general government with the
power it now lacks to act in such emerg-
| encies as the present"

HENDRICKS VS.. JENKINS.
The Collector Will Enforce the Presidents
Proclamation.

NEW YORK, Sep. s. Collector Hend,
:icks says there will be no nonsense about
che enforcement of the instructions in the
Presidents circular recommending quar-
antine of 20 days.
Although he intimates that there will
be no conflict between the Federal and
State authorities, he makes it plain that
no evasion of it's provisions will be per-
mitted.
Health Officer Jenkins may exercise his
prerogative of passing vessel coming
from an infected port within "a hours
after it's arrival if he chooses, but the Gus
toms authorities will prevent that vessel
discharging cargo or passengers removing
their baggage until the 30 days quaran-
tine recommended by the President has
expired.
The collector takes the stand in accord
ance with instructions received from
Washington. He has issued the fol
lowing to George w. Lyon, Surveyor Of
the port of New York:
"In accordance with the provisions OF
Department Circular, No. $50, you are
instructed in all cases in which YES
sells afioat on Sept. have been passed by
the quarantine officers before the expira
| ton of 90 days, to hold such vessels a
anchor in the hay, and to prevent then
from coming to their docks, and tC
prevent the landing of passengers, bag
gage and freight from them until due ap
plication has been made on behalf O
| such vessels to the Treasury Department
and special order received therefrom
| allowing such vessels to make entry.
"You will also seq that vessels leaving
a foreign port after September /, 1892
are prevented from coming to their docks
l oil TO ho Of
| gers, baggage or freight until the expira
ton of the 20 days, or of such furthe
| time as the State authorities may require

over the charge that Dixon frequently
fouls in fights, offers to find light
weight who will meet Carroll for 81 ,5oO
u side.
The Sullivan Cor bett fight is, of course,
the great topic of discussion. A spOrtin
who saw both the pugilists just before he
started from New York, sums up the con-
dition Of the men and the situation like
this:
''Sullivan's real weak spot is his stom-
ach. Here is the spot which still has su-
perfuous fat tagging upon it. Astat Is
less elastic than hard muscle, blow
upon it will tell much more severely than
upon the latter substance. Knockout
blows through the pit of the stomach are
not unknown, though they do not often
occur, but other things even, this seems
to be the best spot for Corbett to attack
If he gets an opening.
"Corbett has the advantage OF a far
better pair of legs than Sullivan. He
will therefore be able to keep his feet
with much less exhaustion of his muscu-
lar powers. His neck, while not so well
defended by muscles as that of Sullivan,
is still handsomely enough endowed At
the same time, if Sullivan could get in
upon this part of Corbett's anatomy 1t is
likely that the contest would be ended in
Sullivan's favor there and then.
''Corbett, judging from what his back
ers say, will adopt this line of battle. He
will keep away, or rather make sprint
ing fight. If he succeeds in doing this
he will in all probability win.
"From Sullivan in his prime he would
not be able to keep away under the rules,
but Sullivan covered with fat and weak
in the wind is different man, and makes
the contest more doubtful.
"The fact that he hits twice as hard as
Corbett is his chief chance of victory.
If he lands once or twice on the Califor-
MAN a full right at any stage of the game
he will win"
The special train bearing Sullivan and
his party is expected to arrive late to
night. His progress has been marked by
q series of ovations.

tors.
All the news received from Bay st.
Louis, the training quarters of Jack Nc
Auliffe and Jack Sicily, is Of of a most
favorable character. At the Bay young
Sicily is looked on as a sure winner, and
although the city pool rooms are Offering

have been made on his fight with the col

Reynolds, Skelly's hacker, is booming
along his man and covering bets offered.
Jack Dempsey was to have seconded Nc
Auliffe, but has telegraphed his inability
to be at the ring side. Gus Tuthill of
New York has been requested to- take
Dempsey's place in the corner.
Sicily will be seconded by Griffin, Rey-
nolds, Robinson and Carroll. McAuiiffe
and Sicily will come to New Orleans
Monday morning.
The Olympic Club seem worried about
the stories that have gone out that the
Dixon-fight is unpopular here because of
Dixon's color. They do not think that
the color line should be brought into
question, and say that if jackson should
challenge the winner of the Sullivan
Corbett fight, or any other man, their
| club would offer purse for the contest.

The fights will take place in the fol-
lowing order: Monday night, Myer VS.,
McAuliffe; Tuesday night, Dixon vs.
Sicily; Wednesday night, Sullivan vs.
Corbett.
The followers of Sullivan's pugilistic
fortunes are confident that their man
will go into the ring fit for the fight of
his life. Sullivan's quarters will be on
Rampurt street, near the Young Mems
Gymnastic Club, and the big fellow will
have the same rooms that he occupied
when he stopped here just before the Kill
rain fight. DR.. Finney of the Young
Mems Club has rendered the champion
the Inequalities of the organization and
the use of the gymnasium. The club as
body declined to do this.
A telegram from New York now an
nounces that Corbett will reach here on
Tuesday morning. The reason stated for
| this is that Corbett is afraid of the ma
| laria, which he contracted when he was
| here before. 1t is probable that the Cor
bett train will be divided into two Sec
! tions. The one with the passengers on
board will arrive on Monday, SO as to
| give them a chance to be present at the
| Myer- McAulitfe fight, while the other,
containing Corbett and his trainers, will
arrive the subsequent day.

Mrs. Harrison a Sufferer from Nervous
Prostitution.
WASHINGTON, Sep. 3.-The almost daily
publication of accounts about Mrs. Har-
rison's alarming condition of health was
brought to Private Secretary Halford's
attention this morning. He said:
"Mrs. Harrison's physical condition has
improved, but her nervous condition has
not kept pace with physical improvement.
Her illness is caused by overtaxing her
self in the performance of her official and
domestic duties which left her suffering
from nervous prostration.
"It will take a long time for her tc
thoroughly recover. She is taking nc
medicines, and is simply awaiting the
recuperation which nature sends. She
has no incurable disease that the Presi-
dent or doctors are aware Of"
