AND HASTY DEPARTURE.
President Harrison reached this city from Loon
Lake on his way 10 Ophir Farm to pay his PROM
ised visit to Whitelaw Reid, about a. M yea
terday. The Presidents special car the lrav.
eller, was attached 10 the second section OF the
Adirondack express, known on the railway sched-
ule as No. II. The train was due a. Mott Haven
at 7:l9 a. m, and IL the original plan that
the Traveller should he detached at that point,
attached 10 the Pawling express, and run directly
over the Naw-lork and Harlem Railroad to White
Plains the station nearest Mr.. Reiis farm. his
would have brought the President TO the White
Plains station at s "a a. III. But the train on ths
Central was nearly an hour and half late, %
that, instead of making the change at Mo's
Haven, the Presidents was carried 10 the
Grand Central Station in this city.
At Mott Haven the Traveller WAS boarded ~
Chairman Thomas H. Carter. of the Republican
National Committee: C.. W. Tyson. Mr. Reids
private secretary, and Russell b. Harrison, the
Presidents son. They found the President In hre
health and in excellent spirits, although chahnS
a little at the delay in reaching his destination.
General Harrison had arisen early in anticipation,
of getting TO White Plains on schedule time. lie
was accompanied by +. W. IIaliord and +. I.
Tibbotts, his private secretaries. In the run %
the city the President solaced himself with cup
of coffee and chatted with Clrirman Carter on
o variety of topics, some Of which doubtless bore
more or less closely upon the National campaign.
It was plain that the President was in pleasant
frame of mind and disposed to take most cheer
full view Of the political canvass Tie only sub
iect which gave him uneis1ess apparently, was
the cholera question. He early asked for the
latest news from Quarantine, and expressed the
hope that the sanitary provisions made to guard
the people on this side Of the water against tho
disease might prove efiectual.
LEAVING THE GRAND CENTRAL
On reaching this city the Traveller was promptly
coupled to another engine, and was soon whis-
Ting out Of the Grand Central Station again upon
the Harlem road. Tie run to White Plains was
made in less than an hour, most Of it through
heavy dOwnpour Of rain. The station at that
point was reached in the midst Of lively shower.
Mr.. Reid, who had been waiting nearly two hours
for his guest. quickly boarded the and greeted

THE CHOLERA IN LIVERPOOL
FOUR RUSSIAN EMIGRANTS ATTACKED
THEY WERE ABOUT TO SAIL FOR AMERICA-EX
c1TEMENT IN THE CITY-PRECAUTIoNs

CITEMENT IN THE CITY-PRECAUT1oNs
OF TIE AUTHORITIES
Liverpool, Aug. Sl.-The physicians who have
been watching the cases of tie four Russian emil
grants who attacked yesterday with sus
picious sickness while waiting to go on board
a steamer for the United States, have officially
declared that the disease is true Asatic cholera.
The announcement has caused considerable en-
ctement in Liverpool though the general public
were convinced yesterday that that was the dis
ease from which they were suffering The au-
thorities are doing everything possible to prevent
the spread of the disease, but now that 1t has
gained foothold in the town it is feared that
it will spread in short time. 1t is not known
what action will be taken in regard to the bills
of health issued Transatlantic steamers, but 1t
is thought that if extraordinary precautions are
not taken by the health authorities at the vari-
Gus American ports, the army of emigrants sail
ing hence for America will he the means for
the introduction of the disease in that country
Here, as in other places in England where cholera
has appeared, there is feeling that prevention
would have been better than cure and though 1t
is too late 10 keep the disease out OF the coun
try, the general public believe that II could easily
have been done had all emigrants, whether intend
ing to remain in England or in transit for the
United States, been kept ont of the country dur
ing the prevalence Of cholera on the Continent
The Liverpool steamship companies have re-
fused to take as passengers any foreigners VINO
come from places infected with cholera.
General Pratt, the American Consul at Queens
town has informed the agents of the Transat-
lantic lines that passengers whose effects are not
thoroughly purified with sulphur will not be
allowed TO land in the United States The COM
panies announce that all baggage will be subjected
10 fumgation for six hours. The disiniectne
process will be under the inspection of American
officials.
One Of the cholera patients here is dead and
two others are in a critical condition.
