BUFFALO. Aug. 25.-About II o'clock
this morning a crowd OF switchmen sur
rounded Master Workman Sweeney of the
Switchmen's Association, demanding that he
declare strike from New York to Chicago
Words ensued and Switchman Quinn of the
Nickel Plate yards struck Sweeney fero-
cious blow. knocking him down. Blood
flowed in a stream from Sweeney's nose.
Quinn got his leaders head against tele-
graph pole and punched and pounded him
until lie was pulled away. Great excite
ment prevailed. Sweeney had his wounds
dressed in a neighboring drugstore. A
number of strikers assembled on tie side
walks in front of the place and threatened
to do further violence TO the Grand Master
Sweeney was frightened, aud the police dis
perSed the mob. bitter feeling against
Sweeney has developed amoug the late
strikers, who consider that they have been
duped aud betrayed by him. Ono of them
stated that Sweeney had given the men no
chance to get their places back again.
AS result OF the midnight order decar-
Ing the strike a failure many of the idle
switchmen are this morning trying to get
back IN their old places. Some of them will
succeed. A visit 10 the various railroad
offices elected the information that the
roads will not take back the strikers to
their old places in a body, ard many will
not be taken back at ALL and all must make
their application soon, as new men will be
considered in the same order as other ap-

OLYMPIA. Wash. Aug. 25-After the
reading of the platform in the Demo-
cratic convention last night heated
debate on the minority report on the Seattle
canal plank followed for three hours, which
In every way exceeded the contest on the
canal fight of the Republican convention
two weeks ago. The minority report was
finally adopted by vote of 167 to 162.
Here Judge Rochester OF Seattle stated he
desired to offer an amendment. JudsOn of
Pierce rose to point of order that the
amendment was not In order and this time
the point was conceded to be we'll taken
and the decision of the chair was appealed
from.
While the rollcall on the question of ap-
peal was in progress Skagit moved to re-
consider the vote by which the minority re-
port was adopted and rollcall on the motion
to reconsider followed.
During the proceeding a tumult which
nearly resulted in the breaking up of the
convention followed. Pandemonium reigned
and delegates yelled themselves hoarse.
The result of the rollcalI on the motion for
reconsideration of the vote by which the
minority report was adopted was 1T for re-
consideration and 154 against. aud tha
status of the convention at l o'clock this
morning was precisely the same as when the
platform was introduced at P. NJ Wednes-
day.
An amendment Of the vote was again
cause for tumult. and motion TO adjourn
was declared out of order.
After repeated motions on appeals, the
roll was finally called on the original mo-
ton to add the minority report to the ma
jority report, and ii was lost by a vote of
15S 10 173.
At l 80 A. NJ the convention adjourned
till 1880 Thursday morning, the platform
being in precisely the same condition as

ANTWERP, Aug. 25. The excitement
caused by Asiatic cholera in this city is in-
tense. Those who can are preparing TO
leave the city, 1t has tTanspired that the
first persons TO fall victims to the disease
were dOck-lab0rerS. They were taken to
the hospitals where the doctors, though they
were probably fully aware the disease was
Asiatic cholera, stated TO newspaper repre-
sentatives il was common cholera and moth
ing was 10 be feared from il. They acted
on the worn-Out theory that cOncealment
of the disease will prevent its spread. That
their reasoning was fallaciOus was soon
proven, for other patients were soon taken
20 the hospitals suffering with the same
disease. and the number of cases has con-
stRnLly increased since. The first victim
died almost Immediately after entering the
hospital. and the appearance OF the bodies,
If nothing else, was sufficient proof that
common cholera had not caused the deaths.
Ths bodies retained their heat for longer
period than is usual when death is caused
by another disease, and they looked as
though they had been through long attack
of sickness. Many physicians hold that a
post-mortem examination would have re-
Vealed the fact that malignant and not
simple cholera was the cause of death.
HAMBURG, Aug 25.-The papers here
gerating the situation turn on the aulhori-
ties to-day and-attack them for persistently
denying the presence in Hamburg of the
Asiatic cholera until the violence of the
outbreak made the concealment no longer
possible. They claim If the authorities had
admitted at the start that the disease was
true cholera. sanitary measures might have
been enforced that would have prevented
the spread of the disease TO the extent 1t
has now reached.
Considerable excitement has been caused
by the appearance of cholera among the
troops. Three cases of tie disease and one
death occurred in regiment temporarily
quaTtered here. The regiment was ordered
To leave Hamburg and remain isolated until
al risk Of their spreading the infection had
passed.
The weather continues intensely hot. and
the heat Of the sun unfortunately is favor
able to the growth of tie cholera germs
There is, however, more wind prevailing
. to-day. and this adds somewhat TO the COM
fort of the city. Yesterday there we're 50
new eases of the disease reported and 81
deaths

New YORK, Aug. 25.-ln spite of the
spread OF cholera in Europe the local health
authorities adhere firmly to the belief that
there need be no fear of the disease getting
to this country. All possible precautions
have been taken. They are now prepared
to care for cholera patients to the number
OF 5O0o al moments notice.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The Vice-Con-
sui General at Teheran telegraphs that the

The United States Consul cables the State
Department from Hamburg this morning
as follows: THE Hamburg authorities to-
day admit that the Asiatc cholera has been

date ought to be disinfected. Up TO the
23d of August 191 cases and 70 deaths have

Commissioner Mulls of the Quaran tine

Quarantine Board was taking every pre-
caution TO keep the dreaded scouTge within

Canada Declines to Modify the Canal

Diplomatic Correspondence Between the British
Representative and Secretary FOster-The
New Canal to Be Pushed.
Special TO THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Some additional
correspondence with reference TO the COL
lection OF tolls on vessels passing through
St. Marys Falls canal in transit to any port
OF the Dominion of Canada was made pub
ilc to-day. 1t consists of letter written by
Herbert, the British representative. on
August 20 TO Secretary of State Foster and
the letters in reply thereto. Under date of
August "A Herbert says the Canadian Gov
ernment desires TO point out that the
United States Government may be unaware
that the tolls are of a temporary nature
only, and IL Is not intended to re-establish
them In the present form after the expira-
ton OF the season OF 1892. The Canadian
Government believes that the United States
Government will recognize the Importance
OF the difficulties which stand in the way of
an Immediate repeal of the present tariff,
and that the assurance of its termination at
the end Of the present season will be re-
garded as satisfactory evidence Of the de-
sire OF the Government of the Dominion TO
remove any ground which has tendency to
disturb the friendly interchange of trade
between the two countries.
Secretary Foster, In replying, says the
President, being well aware that the obnox-
ious tolls on the Welland and ST. Lawrence
canals dld net extend beyond the present
season OF canal navigation, il became evil
dent TO him that no present effective relief
was TO be offered on the part OF the Domn-
Ion. and that the full measure Of the dis
examinations imposed by the Canadian order
OF 1892 Is to be continued unabated during
the iull ilie OF that order. No recourse re-
manned open 10 him but to give immediate
effect TO the status by issuing proclama-
ton.
Continuing. Foster says all that was con-
templated by the Presidents proclamation
Is to establish in the American canal the
same conditions as now exist and have ex-
iSted in tie Canadian canals for years past.
and that the Presidents proclamation will
remain In force no longer than the discrimi-
nations complained of are maintained by
the Canadian Government

THE DISEASE DECREASING.
Russian Authorities Believe That tn
Plague Is Less yiruIent,

Russian Authorities Believe That the
Plseue Is Less ytrulent.
ST. PETERSBURG. Aug 25.-Yesterday's
new cases Of cholera were ia In excess OF
those reported Tuesday, and the deaths
were 81 In excess of those reported the same
day. Yesterday the totals for Russia, ac
cording to official figures, were 5679 new
cases and 2743 deaths.
The disease is spreading in this city, but
the people now show little concern about it.
Though the new cases reported here are
larger the death rate is smaller, the doctors
say the disease is less YirulenI in its char
acteT and that in addition to this the num-
Der Of deaths has been lessened by better
arrangements for the treatment Of patients.
When the disease first became epidemic
the physicians In the city were greatly over
worked, but now q number Of doctors from
other places are serving in the hospitals
and much closer attention can be given to
the sufferers. The number of hospital at
tendants has also been largely increased.
There has been no relaxation In the strict
sanitary regulations, and any violation Is
met with prompt punishment.
1t is believed the custom that prevails
among the poorer classes, many OF whom
during the summer leave the city and live
ct Staraya, Novaya, Derevnya, PoIustrovo
and other suburbs of st. Petersburg, has
done much TO prevent the mortality In the
city from being greater. AS yet these places
have been little affected with the disease,
and the OUTLOOK is better.
At present the authorities are looking
forward anxiously TO the beginning of cold
weather, when the germs of the disease
will become harmless.
One reason for the people of st. Peters.

New YORK, Aug. 25.-In pub

had no intention Of injuriug SullI-
van by appearing at Madison-sQuare
Garden Monday. That date was taken
after Sullivan failed to secure Tuesday.
Corbett adds: AFTER / was robbed of my
victory over Jackson. my friends rendered

pened to be in San Francisco, 10 wind up
with me. Ii was published all over the
world that generous John had volunteered
his services, when in fact he re-
fused TO appear unless he received 80
per cent OF the gross receipts, which was
paid TO him in full, after which he mali
ciously stated that / had asked him to go
easy with me in the setto, which L brand
rs deliberate falsehood.
Since that time Mr.. Sullivan has never
missed an opportunity to speak in slur-
ability. Sullivan states that he intended to
give me benefit after he knocked NE out.
No man has ever knocked me out yet.

coming contest 1 do not think / will need

lleve that he will not be as good q drawing

Sulliyan's hard work is over and he con-
fines himself to light exercise. Sullivan's
final deposit of S2500 was made to-day.
