In New York CltY-rho Preparations Max
Ing for that Event.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 0.--0wing to
tho condition of Mrs. Harrison's health
the President has concluded that it will
be out of his power to participate IN the
social events to which he has been as
signed in the Columbus celebration in
New York the present week. He has,
therefore, requested Vice President
Morton, who is now at his home at
Rhine Cliff, to take his place, to which
request Mr.. Morton has made prompt
and favorable response.
Mr.. Morton will be in New York to-
morrow morning. 1t is possible that
the President will make hurried trip
to New York to review the military
procession OH Wednesday but even this
has not been definitely determined and
ii he will go or not will depend entirely
on the condition OF Mrs. Harrison Mt
that time. Ii he does not go, the Vice
President will represent him in that Gu
pacity also.
For many hours to-day Italian work.
men were busy at thesite OF the Colum..
bus statue, Fifty-ninth street and
Eighth avenue. The shalt was placed
IN position this afternoon. 1t is a sin
gle stone, twenty-seven feet i'll heighth
and four feet in diameter at tho base.
Tho Weights thirty-six tons. 1t stands
on base that is built up twenty feet
from the ground. The heroic statue OF
columbus is to surmount it. The total
heighth OF the monument then will be
seventy-eight feet.
The base is worthy of close attention
in itself. On opposite sides OF 1t are
panels Of bronze representing in base
relief two important periods Of the sue
cessful voyage OF Columbus. One shows
the wrapt attitude and attention Of
those on board the vessels as they are
convinced that land is close at hand,
almost within sight, and that any mo.
ment they may be able to distinguish
the welcome line on the horizon. The
other represents the landing OF Colum-
bus, himself kneelinG devoutly on the
sand, while overhead floats the banner
OF Spain and around him are grouped
his followers.
All day long to-day q crowd of peo-
pie thronged the piers and crowded tho
embankments at the foot OF Twenty
third and Twenty.fourth streets anx-
ious for glimpse of the foreign NEIL
of-war.
A bland smile broadens on the faces
OF hotel men in these days. The beauty
of it is that the pilgrims come with
their purses well filled ready to any
price for accommodations. One wealthy
brewer was willing to give up a $500
roll for single suite OF rooms facing on
Fifth avenue and that Tor only one day,
Wednesday.
ave get from scot $50 room per
day where the windows face on Fifth
avenue" said one hotel clerk, "and the
people are glad to pay that price"
Altogether tho harvest is plentiful,
although it would be f mistake to sup
pose that all the hotels have increased
their rates. Tho best ones have not.

OMAHA, NEE, Oct. Or. V. 7. Nc
Gulldy, of Rapid City, S. D., we'll
known as one OF the best posted men in
tho country on Indian matters, is in
Omaha, having just come from Pine
Ridge agency. Talking to-day to Bee
reporter, he said: ~ don't wish to
pose as an alarmist, but the situation at
Pine Ridge Is not at all satisfactory
just at present, and there is no immedi-
ate prospect OF it improving. The In
dians are sullen and in many ways show
a resentiul feeling, and unless some
thing is done to counteract this there is
danger OF trouble next spring.
THE Messiah spirit is not dead and
the whites must not depend on the
statement that the Indians are no
longer considering the promise made
by Sitting Bull ana other medicine men
who led the trouble two years ago.
While there is no open dancing, there
Is quiet discussion OF the subject, and
the TACT that the promise was that the
Messiah would come after two springs,
which would bring the time in the
spring OF 1898, is being carefully kept
IN mind by the Indians. The govern
ment recently paid tho Indians at Pine
Ridge $4,000, aud this is used as an ar
gument that the great father fears his
rcd sons, else why should lie seek to
buy them of, then the return from Fort
Sheridan OF Short Bull and Kicking
Bear added another disturbing element
to the already deeply stirred state OF
a.Iairs at Pine Ridge.
The most significant thing is the fact
mat there has been communications be.
tween the various tribes OF secret and
apparently important nature during
the summer There is line OF COM
munication well establishcn and con-
s'antly used between the IndiRn Terri

BuDA-PEsTH. Oct. 0.-0n Thursday
last there was reported in this city
fifty-three new cases OF cholera aud
nineteen deaths from the disease. The
ignorant classes still attempt to pre-.
vent the sanitary authorities from
performing their duties, and it would
not be surprising should the govern
ment accede 10 the demands OF the
newspapers for tho appointment OF a
health commission with unlimited pow
era to fight the epidemic. The latest
attempt OF the denizcns OF the lower
quarters OF the city to prevent the
cleaning and distinction OF their homes
occurred to-day.
Several OF the eanitary officers were
engaged in the work OF disinfection,
when they were set upon by the occup.
ants OF the house in which they were
working. Their assatlants were at
first women, armed with kettles Of boil.
ing water, which they threw out OF
doors and windows on the officers. The
latter, finding the situation literally too
hot for thom, fled into the street. Here
number of men and boys had gath
cred, and when the officers up
peared they were greeted with showers
OF stones.
The police who had accompanied the
sanitary officers 10 the building were
waiting outside, and thecrowd attacked
them also. The policemen drew their
sabers and made charge upon the
mob. which fled in every direction. A
number OF arrests were made. Some Of
the inspectors were quite severely in
jured.
During the past twelve hours four
teen fresh cases of cholera and three
deaths from the disease have been re-
ported hero. Much distress is occa-
stoned among the suffering people on
account OF lack of doctors.

NEw YoRK, Oct. 9.-In view OF the
call for funds by Chairman Harrity and
Chairman Dickinson, there has been a
natural interest to ascertain the size OF
the check contributed by ex-President
Cleveland. 1t will be recalled that
four years ago he sent his check to
Calvin Stewart Brice for $4,000.
The Mugwumps at that time criti-
cised the managers OF Mr.. Cleveland's
campaign for letting it be known that
he had sent his check for that amount.
They we're not sure whether he ought
to have contributed or not, but they
were sure that his contribution should
have been kept a secret.
10 practical politicians these were
highialutin notions. At any rate, as
Mr. Cleveland is not now the occupant
of the White House, and inasmuch as
the Mugwumps OF New York state. who
insisted at Chicago that he should be
nominated, promising to raise S5OO,O0O
among themselves If he we're, have so
far contributed little, they can scarcely
critcise the announcement made. at
headquarters to-day that three weeks
ago Mr.. Cleveland contributed his cheek
for $4,000.
The check was turned over to Treas
urer Robert Is. Roosevelt, and by him
sent through the Hollend Trust Com
pany. 1t is reported that Mr.. Glove
land's personal friends, t. Q. Benedict,
Mr.. Whitney and Mr.. Dickinson, have
each contributed $4,000
The amount OF Chairman Hnrrity's
check was SO. But in view OF the fact
that Mr.. Harrity contributes his SER
vices rs chairman nothing more was e1'
pected from him.
There were plenty OF avenues opened
for the expenditure OF the contribu-
ton OF MIR. Cleveland and his three
personal friends. The Democratic ma
tional campaign OF 1884, according TO
the best authorities, cost about $780,
900, while that OF 1888 cost about 81 ,000,-
900. The expenses OF this campaign
will run 10 higher figures, for the rea-
son that the fight extends over more
states. Money will be needed in New
York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Indi-
ana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Nebras-
ka and Kansas, not to speak OF Michi-
and and other states.
The promises from Mugwumps hav-
ing come to naught, Chairman Harrity
and Chairman Dickinson must now rely
upon the income from tho popular call.
1t is true that Henry Willard, Oscar
Strauss, c. c. Baldwin and others arc
daily visiting their friends and asking
for subscriptions. But subscriptions
come slowly. There is an indisposition
to give big amounts.
Chairman Harrity reported to-day
that good results were had from the ap-
peal TO the people. He had OH his desk
to-day bundle of checks ranging from
So to Sl00.
1t was known at headquarters that
Mr.. Harrity has had several conferences
with Julius hamburger, president OF tho
steckler Association, with view to se-
curing the support Of that organization
for Cleveland. The Stecklers are said
to control good part OF the votes OF
the Polish Hebrews on the Eastside.
Mr.. Harrity wants this vote Tor Mr..
Cleveland and there will bo further ne
gotiations.

LONDON, Oct. "a furious gale is
prevailing on tho Lancashire coast and
it is feared much damage to shipping
and possible loss OF life may result.
Tho Norwegian ship Sirene, which
sailed from Fleetwood for Sapelo, in
ballast, on Saturday, encountered the
storm in all its fury and was terribly
buleted by the howling wind and tre-
mendous seas The vessel strained
and labored through tho angry waves
and her sails were split and torn
away, until finally she became entirely
manageable, and to the dlsmay OF the
officers and the crew, they found that
the ship was at the mercy OF the wind
and sea, and that she was in imminent
danger OF being blown ashore and
smashed to pieces on the rocks
Those on board tho Sirene struggled
heroically to head the vessel out to sea,
but try rs they might, they could not
prevail against the elements and the
ship drifted ashore this morning. The
people in the vicinity had become aware
of the Sircne's perilous position, ana
large crowds anxiously watched the YES
sol as she was tossed about helplessly on
the water, and she went ashore in full
sight OF thousands OF persons who had
collected on the beach and on the pier
at the place where she struck. The
crowds rushed to the spot as soon as the
vessel struck, and efforts were ut once
made to rescue the crew of eleven men.
At the risk of their lives number Of
boatmen put off from the pier, and
after desperate. battle with the waves
succeeded in bringing all the crew
safely to dry land, amid the plaudits OF
the watching crowds.
