THE PREsIDMNr PRompT

In His Order Permitting Sandy Hook to
30 Used for 0unrantincd Passengers.
Loon LAKE, N. Y, Sept. 9.-This
morning the President was advised that
it would be desirable to use part OF
Sandy Hook reservation as camp for
detained passengers, but that the war
department hcsltated in granting per-
mission. He sent a dispatch to
the acting secretary oil war say
ing that while he was not fully
advised as to the particulars, he
was anxious to do all in his power for
the comfort and safety Of tho people,
aud later, upon tho receipt OF kilograms
from the secretaries OF the treasury and
navy, who are in New York, he sent the
following:
To The Acting Secretary Of Var:
"In view of representations made by
Secretaries Foster and Tracy, direct
that sufficient portion OF the reser-
vation at Sandy Hook be set apart for
use as u camp for quarantined steam
ship passengers"
lSigned) "BEYJAMIN HARRisoN."
The President advised the secretary
OF the treasury Of this order, at the
same time cautioning him as to. the
difficulty of maintaining a proper quar-
antine Of such a camp II established
and also OF possible embarrassment
that might arise from the removal OF
the passengers out Of the jurisdiction
OF New York officers. Both OF these
questions must be left to the judgment
Of the officers on the ground and who
know the situation. He also directed
that notice be given all steamship COM
panies that if they persisted in bring
ing emigrants from infected parts that
it might result in their being denied
entrance to our harbors.

QUARANTINE NO GOOD.

Sir Edward Arnold Done Believe in II
as Preventive of Cholera.
New YoRx, Sept. 9.-sir Edwin
Arnold, the famous poet, politician and
Journalist, better known to the general
public as the author of "The Light Of
Asst" arrived in New York late yes
terday afternoon after SIX weeks
sojourn in Japan, which he regards as
one OF the brightest experiences Of his
varied career.
~ see, !" said Sir Edwin. "that have
been misquoted about Mr.. Blaine.
What did say was that it was un-
statesmanlike in him to suggest, and
unworthy of great nation, to close
this country's ports against those OF
tho world on account OF the prevalence
Of cholera abroad.
II do not believe in your quarantine.
You cannot keep cholera out with q
quarantine. If it Is to come 1t will
come anyhow. Our plan to isolate
the sick and let the well go is much
better. Besides, think the American
and English constitution rather imper-
vious to cholera. More persons die OF
measles, diphtheria, or teething than
die OF cholera. No we'll or prudent
man should fear tho disease. Just 10
about rs usual and don't think Of it.
Why, have seen so much OF it and
been SO close to it that ] have not the
slightest fear OF it. I'll toll you my
own preventive which l have used in
India with the very best results, The
cholera bacillus does not like acid. lie
can't stand it at all
$50 every other morning, when the
cholera actually appears | would take,
II l were you, five drops Of hydrochloric
acid in n cup OF tea. You will find il
excellent as preventative If you are
also careful in your habits OF life. No,
don't believe in your quarantine."

LONDON, Sept. s.-The Berlin corre-
spondent OF the Times says: It is diff
cult to reconcile the statement that the
c6olora is abating in Hamburg either
with private accounts or with the Off
cial statistics. The district in that city
is increasing and is becomingas serious
as the epidemic itself. Princess Henry
has appealed to public charity on be-
half OF the stricken city OF Hamburg,
and has telegraphed to the Hamburg
health committee to oindicate its require
ments. The committee, in its reply to
the princess, expresses the deepest
gratitude for this first and hitherto
solitary expression OF sympathy. This
pathetic tinge of reproach in the rest
Of Germany is not entirely unmerlted.
There has been n greater disposition to
indulge in virtuous indignation at the
inCompetency OF the Hamburg authori-
ties than to tender succor to the suffer
ing.
LIZ EtLHtluTW AullbuiS VOtteSpOAO-
ent says: "There has been slight de-
cline in the last twenty-four hours in
thd virulence OF the epidemic. The
new cases number S97, the deaths 20S,
and the interments 4S0. Nineteen thou
sand cofiins were landed in the harbor
to-day. Great indignation prevails at
the remissness OF the authorities. There
is an insufficient number OF ambulances
in the city and the injected garments OF
patients and victims Of the disease are
still left lying in heaps to infect the
people who crowd the hospitals. Thou
sands OF persons belonging to the poor
est classes, hungry and out OF employ
mont, are walking the streets. The
proposed Columbus fetes have been
abandoned and all the public schools
closed until November.

TRAIN RopRgRs NoI1Ep.


They Compel tho Fireman to Break
Open the Door of the Exprsss Car but
They Find the Safe Empty.
GUTHRIE, Sept. s.-The 11:4O south
bound passenger train on the Santa Fe
was late arriving owing to the fact that
it was held up by train robbers at
Wharton, in the Cherokee strip, a sta
ton twenty miles north of this city.
The conductor, Ed Kitching, states that
when his train stopped to take water
he walked down the track and was met
by his engineer and firemen, with three
othor men. Revolvers were levelled on
him and the robbers went on until
they reached the express car. When
they demanded admittance they were
refused by messenger George Wagner.
The robbers then opened fire, and q
fusilade followed. Wagner and his as
sistant stood their ground unit! after
the engineer and fireman and conductor
freed themselves from the robbers and
the train pulled out. The engineer
gave his account OF the hold up.
The train arrived at Wharton on
llluts 4llEG6 4lOuuhGu bu0 GuSlhG uhA
ordered Fireman Ross and Engineer
Spoonaugher to step down. Then they
compelled Ross to accompany them to
the express door and told him to batter
it down. When the first blow was
struck on the door the express mes
senger fred through it. The fireman
stepped back but the men with cooked
Winchesters again commanded him to
continue work. "For Gods sake, boys,
don't shoot; they are making me do
it." yelledthe fireman to the messen-
ger, and again his blows fell on the
door. 1t was soon felled and the rob.
bora. entered ut once and broke open the
safe, but it was empty.
The express men had opened it while
the door was being bursted in and hid
most OF the contents. Failing to find
booty, the robbers paid their respects
to the larger safe, but found it impossi-
BILE to open. Not being prepared to
force ii, they backed out and left, tax
ing with them two boxes OF grapes. No
effort was made to rob the passengers.
Ono Of the robbers was stationed ut the
rear OF the car and shot whenever q
head appeared at the window. Many
shots we're fred, both by those around
the express car and by the guard at the
rear OF the train. There is no clew to

NEw YoRK, Sept. 9.-The following
letter, written on the Normannia Sep
tember I, was received in this city at
tho Office OF the EpangeliS, from Rev. D.
w. Fisher, d. D., L. l., d., president OF
Hanover College, Indiana:
On behalf OF the cabin Spassengnrs of
this ill.iated ship, ] appeal to you ior
help. We ure perfectly willing 10 DO
qnarantinel, but in the name OF hui
manity and civilization, not to speak OF
Christianity, let the quarantine be at
least rational, and not bnrbarous. We.
have not been sick in the cabin, except
in one case, which seems to have had
almost no choleric symptoms, and that
occurred ten days ago. We have sue
ceeded in getting the steerage away.
But the crow cannot bo removed. The
ship must have them aboard. One
after another they sicken.
Under these circumstances we
scarcely dare TO hope that ultimately
We shall escape. At any rate, when
can such quarantine end? Think OF
children, feeble persons, any set Of
men, even criminals, left to wear out
the danger OF cholera in this fashion
The whole system is, Anchor the
ship out as far nj sea as possible and
let the disease do what it can" If any
set oil people were in any other situa.
tion, enduring such peril as ours, mil
lions OF voices would be raised to rescue
US without a days delay. Why are we
unworthy OF help, situated as we are?
surely not because help is impossible.
Put US on another vessel. Land us ut
some safe point on shore and seclude
US TO any. extent; but, for Gods sake,
donot porpotuate this barbarous system
on US hero for day longer. Try to
help at once, Yours very truly,
