Paraphernalia Across the Ocean.

Tourists Not Allowed to Bring the Usual
Paraphernalia Across the Ocean.
LONDON, Sept. 6.-The representatives oi
the Associated Press in this city, to-day
interviewed Mr.. John e. New. the American
Consul General here, relative to the action
taken by steamship companies in regard to
steerage traffic. Mr.. New said that since the
contents of President Harrison's circular
were communicated to the steamship COM
panies he had received intimations that all
of them were concurring in the regulations
and promising the immediate and entire
cessation of the emigrant trade. No com
plants, he added, had been made regarding
the circular, which the companies tacitly &C
cepted as law.
When asked whether it was true that the
baggage of saloon passengers was not fumi-
gated, Mr.. New said that in no case was
fumigation omitted. when the saloon pas
sengers sailed from a suspected port. He
further said that he was kept advised by the
American Consuls at Bremen. Hamburg and
other ports, regarding passengers from their
respective Jurisdictions and all other mat
ters relating to outward bound vesse S. He
declared that he had found the Consuls
alert in communicating to him any case re-
quiring vigilance.
Mr. New instanced the case of saloon pas.
sengers for the Hamburg american line
steamer Columbia, which sailed Saturday
from Southampton for New York. These
passengers came TO Southampton from Ham,
burr by way OF Harwich. They carried with
them rugs, chairs and the other parapher-
MALTA of ocean travellers, out, thanks TO the
Consul, they were not allowed to take any
of this impediment on board the steamer.
The Consuls ut Hamburg and Bremen had
been telegraphing to him that the rumorwas
current in those cities that the German
company still provisioned its vessels at
IIarr 11.tir.c No eofd ho hod
very strict investigation to be made into
this rumor by the Consul at Southampton
and had found that it was untrue
Mr.. New expressed his belief that the
steamship companies >are acting conscien-
tiously to meet the spirit o. the circular
and, for their own sakes, are taking all possi-
BILE precautions. As to the circular ITSELF
Mr.. New said he thought 1t o wise measure,
and. he added, il it is observed at the United
States ports with strictness equal to that
with which tire Consulates IN England
watch its enforcement, the danger of cholera
being imported into the United States will
be reduced to q minimum. /

STRIFE BETWEEN RAILWAYS
Several of Them Want Possession of the
McKeesport Streets.

Several of Them Want Possession of the
McKeesport Streets.
MCKEEsPoRT, Pa, Sept. al Special J.
What promises to be a long fought contest,
will take place between several corporations,
three street railway companies and two
bridge companies. The substance OF the
whole matter is, that the Versailles Traction
Company has succeeded in getting the best
of the Reynoldton and McKeesport Com
pany by obtaining the right of way to
Christy Park. They declare that they will
reach Boston over a new bridge, which
is being erected over the Youghiogheny
river, but the bridge company people say
they will allow nothing of the kind to
transpire.
The Citizens Company and friends are
working an ordinance through Councils to
get possession of all the principal streets
and thus shut off the feeders to the present
line, and if possible, cause it to consolidate
or suspend business, while the Youghio-
gheny Bridge Company, on Third avenue,
in which are men who represent the Citi-
zens' Company, are also fighting the old
company, and are trying to stop them from
crossing their bridge. There seems to be
desperate combination against the present
company. To-day it was rumored that
deputy sheriff has served an injunction on
the old company to prevent it from extend
ing its lines, but it was tound to be untrue
The Mayor has been asked to stop the work,
which he refused to do
