NO DIFFERENCE
So Says the Federation of Labor at New
 York Between
CABIN AND sTEERAGE
Passengers Now on Board the ships at the Quarantine Stations--Cholera no
 Respecter of Persons.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Cholera was talked about at yesterdays s meeting of the Central Labor Fed eration, and complaint -..es ..s5,,ie to Health Officer Jenkins discriminat- ing against poor steerage passengers. A set of resolutions was adopted that said in the matter of landing emigrants and passengers no distinction should be made at quarantine between first cabin pas sengers and those in the steerage, the former being allowed to land, while the others, being poor, were detained. As cholera is no respecter of persons it is just as liable to enter in the bodies of frst-class passen- gers as in the bodies of poor emigrants, as has been shown by the spread of cholera in Germany by wealthy people who ran away from Hamburg to other places. The resolutions called upon Health Officer Jenkins to make no distinction be- tween cabin and steerage passen- gers, but to treat both classes alike for protection to the city and coun try. It is further de ,lared that if Dr. Jenkins does not protect the city federation measures to have him impeached will be taken.

4 AClose Call For the Negro.

I found the druggist reading a newspaper and apparently consider ably excited. A county ticket had been nominated the day before, and it turned out that he did not favor some of the candidates, although of his party. Notwithstanding was a stranger he began talking local poli tics to me and was going 1t strong when a colored man came in.
 "Now, then, what do you want'' demanded the druggist.
 "Quinine, sah, ten cents wuth. "
 The druggist went back of the counter to put it up, still talking politics, and the longer he talked the madder he got. I did not pay strict attention to what he was do- ing but after the negro had gone it struck me that mistake had been made.
 "Did that man ask for quininei" 1 asked.
 ''I believe he did, and what on earth could have possessed that con vention to nominate such a man as Sam Raines for sherifff I"
 "Are you sure you gave him qui- nine'"
 "Why, I presume I did. I'll see that ticket in Texas before I'll sup port it.
 My friend" persisted, "I be- lieve you gave that man morphine. Isn't that the label on the bottlef"
 Didn't he ask for morphinef"
 "No."
 "Well, he's got some, confound him. Here-where'd he goi'
 He ran to the door and called, "Saml Sam !" and presently the colored man returned. "Sam, what did you ask fori'.
 "Quinine, sah."
 "Well, 1 guess l gave you mor- phine. Hand it over and I'll ex- change it. The idea of putting up Sam Raines when there was such good timberl I'll bolt the whole ticket from top to bottom :"
 He made the exchange in such a cool, matter of fact way that after the customer had departed said;
 "That was narrow escape for some one, chi"
 "Yes might have killed nigger. | And I'll let that crowd know they cant stuff no such nominations down me! It's an outrage, and one which must be rebuked at the polls, as it deserves !"-New York Herald.

DEATHS FROM CHOLERA.
Two Reported From the quarantined Ships by Dr. Jenkins-
 More Cases.


 NEW YORK, S,pt. 5.-The situa- ton at quarantine is, so far as any information has been obtained, practically unchanged since pr. Jenkins returned from the islands last night and reported two addi- tional deaths on the Normannia, one dn the Rugia and one on the Moravia. No communication whatever has been made from the lower to the upper quarantine, so it is impossible to say whether there are any fresh cases until Dr. Jen- kins has received the news and inn parts it in his own time to the news paper reporters. He sent request to Mayor Grant for six patrol off, cers, who will be stationed at quar- antine and arrest any person or per sons endeavoring to com muLicate witt the vessels at the lower bay. All passengers in the steerage of the Normannia have been transferred to Hoffman Island, where they will remain under observation. Six cases of cholera were transferred to the hospital on Swinburne Island. This leaves the Normannia with no one sick on board and with no steerage passengers. The Moravia has no sickness, but has cabin and steerage passengers on board. The Rugia has no sick, and cabin and steerage passengers on board. No fresh cases are likely to break out on the Normannia, as her immigrants have been removed and their quarters have been thoroughly fumigated. Steerage passengers on Hoffman Island are liable to de- velop the disease, but they will at once be transferred to the hospital on Swinburne Island if taken sick. The cabin passengers on the Nor mannia may look forward shortly to definite announcement as to the date on which they will be permitted to land, as the time they will be kept on board will be stated a number of days after the last deaths occur on board the ships.

One Thing oyerlooked. .

An English exchange relates how that delegation of strikers visited a mill proprietor, and, after demand ing forty-hours per week, at the same old pay, the dismissal of an ob- noxious manager, a little light re- freshment in the middle of each afternoon, no new hands to be em- ployed until they (the workmen) had said they were willing to work with them, fortnight's holiday and double pay once a year, the follow ing took place;
 "Exactly. What moref"
 "That is all, sir, at present.
 "No, it isn't. Think again. Pm sure there's something else
 "No, sir.
 "Well, I'll just tell you, then. You've arranged your hours of workf"
 "Yes, sir "
 "You've managed to have the manager dismissedf"
 ''Yes, sir.
 "And the refreshments and the holidays, and the other matters you've mentionedi"
 "Yes, sir.n
 "But you've forgotten one thing, and that is to arrange to get some fool to pay your wages on Satur- day, for 1 won't. Good morning" " Exchange.

Which Was Immense, to Serve the Cholera
 Patients.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-A well known physician of New York city went into voluntary exile yesterday to remain for an indefinite time in the pest hospitals on Swinburne Island. He is Dr. Byron, a scient- ist and meteorological expert and lecturer of Loomis' Laboratory. He has given up a large practice for the time being and will remain on Swinburne Island to fight cholera. He will be forced to quarantine him. self as strictly as any of his patients are quarantined, and he does not expect to set foot on shore again till the danger is over He made light of the risk which he was running and not desirous of saying much about his action, but he acknowledged it would involve a great financial sacrifice, as the sal ary paid them by the state would not nearly equal the income which he derives from his regular practice. He is inclined to take favorable view of the situation, and thinks the trouble at quarantine will be over probably in five or six weeks. Frost will kill the disease, he said, but t
