New YORK, Sept. 16.-Mary Connerty,s
aged 10, who came from Ireland six
months ago, was removed to the recep-
ton hospital Thursday from the tene-
ment 692 Second avenue, suffering from
what has been announced as genuine
cholera. The case was reported to the
health department by DR.. G. j. Kane,
of 673 Second avenue, who was called
in to attend the sick girl. Inspector
Dillingham; of the board of health de-
clared that the patient had cholera. 1t
is not known how she got the plague.
Immigrant passengers on the steamer
Friesland, which arrived here on Aug
ust 20, seem to have brought the disease
to little Minnie Levinger, who died on
Sept. II. They are traced back to
Antwerp, which they reached from
other cities in Europe, no doubt
infected with cholera. When they
reached quarantine there was reported
no illness on board, and after few
hours detention and so-called fumiga-
ton, they were permitted to proceed.
From the steamship pier the passen-
gers scattered over the city and the
country. -Four young women of the COM
pany went to All East Sixteenth street,
where little Minnie lived. There is
reason to believe the infection was in
their clothing: that they. innocently
carried it about with them, escaping its
dangers themselves, and that from
their clothing the child got the, disease.
WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-The presi-
dent win not issue proclamation re-
stricting immigration-at least, he will
wait to give the steamboat companies
a chance to carry out their written
guarantees made to the secretary of the
treasury Thursday. AS soon as it be-
came known that the attorney general
would give an opinion in favor
of the president restricting imni-
grafton formal notice was sent to all
the steamboat companies by the secre.
tary Of the treasury notifying them
that unless they stopped carrying
steerage passengers and only brought
bona fde first and second-class pas
sengers the president would issue
a proclamation sending back all
such steerage immigration. The at
torney general sent his opinion to the
president at Loon Lake and everything
was ready for the president to promul-
gate his edict. The steamship com
panies became alarmed. and through
their attorney gave Secretary Foster
the written guaranty of all the steam
ship agents that no ste.fage passengers
should be carried by the steam
ships until congress assembled
or the cholera epidemic ceased The
secretary communicated with the pres
ident at Loon Lake and the result is
that the proclamation will be he'd in
allegiance.
