Robertson Bay."
ST. JOINS. y. F., Sept. 1.-THE seamer
Kite arrived here from Mccormack Harbor
bringing Lieutenant Peary with his wife
and party. All are well. Peary made a
ssige journey with dogs Of 1900 miles over
interior ice, which he found favorable. He
was out ninety days and returned all right
on August 4. He made important discOv-
cries confirming his theory.
Mrs. Peary remained at their winter
quarters. Mccormack Bay, and she en-
ioyed excellent health. Had the Kite n ot
arrived the party meant to retreat toward
the south In open boats.
hlr. Kerhoff, the meteorol0gist of the

crevasse and perished. Kite brings home
in splendid condition some fora and fauna
and exceedingly valuable records OF OBJ

great success. Lieutenant Peary brings

a Plague Ship Compelled to Put Back
to New York.

4 Plague Ship Compelled to Put Back
to New York.
SURF HOTEL, Fire Island, Sept. 1.-THE
6rst news of the Cepheus was received at a
little after o'clock, when dispatch came
saying that an iron steamO boat was of Point
Lookout with 267 cabin passengers on
board. This was great surprise and an
DOyance to Mr.. Wilson, who had sent special
orders TO have the Cepheus to arrive at
Fire Island as near noon as possible, and in
DO event to leave quarantine later than the
noon hour. Mr.. Wilson had already ar
ranged with Captain Charles Wickes Of the
Fire Island Life Saving Station TO pilot the
Cepheus across the bay. At first Captain
Wickes had demurred and finally told Mr.
Wilson frankly that Superintendent Arthur
D0mlny had threatened him wi th the loss
of his place if he brought the steamboat ln
Mr.. Wilson then promised him a place
which would pay him 5000 year IN case
he lost the $500 position he already held for
bringing the Cepheus over the bar Wlckes
agreed TO this, but afterward went away,
and when the Cepheus appeared of the bar
at 40 o clock lie had not turned up. When
it VAS quite dark he appeared and said 1t
would be impossible for him to bring in the
Cepheus or even 10 60 cut and explain the
situation TO those on board.
ID spite Of his protestations it is evident
that Captain Wckes was intmidated.
An hour later word came from the Fire
Island Observatory saying that the Ce-
pheus' lights were disappearing and she
had evidently PUT back toward New York
In the meantime the watchers concealed
In the shadows about the hotel kept up
their vigilance, while Mr.. Wilson, after
sending appeals TO New York for special
policemen TO be sent down on an extra
train, had fre-buckets placed at handy
points on the plazZas and the watch ar
ranged, for the night was begun.

vaquero exhibition is sure to draw huge
attendance to the track tomorrow, and it
is said that the wild and unbroken horses
which the Mexicans will handle are not

ever, is always interesting, more especially
the lasso and lariat throwing.

Great Fears Of the Overthrow Of Diaz'
Government.

New ORLEANS. Sept. 1.-The Times
Democrat FL Paso CTex.) special says that
the trouble between the Indians and the
Government at Tomasache. in the State of
Sonora, continues. There were also cleo
tion troubles in the same district occurring
about the same time. A political party
under the leadership Of Cruz ChuVeZ was
organized to resist the Government, and
General Ranjel. with tho Eleventh Battalion
oil Infantry, marched against them. Arriy-
Ing at Tom asacne troops were surprised by
the rebels and several were killed, the en-
tire staff made prisoners and the battalion
d spersed with heavy loss. The Govern
ment has a strong force in the country, but
the rebels have the advantage of position.
The latest reports have it that the rebels
force Is over 900 streng, and that the Gov
ernment has sent over 900 men against them
and met with signal defeat.
On Wednesday last Captain Martinez and
800 men left Chihuahua for the scene Of

Why the Engineer Of the Fitehburg
Fast Freight Did Not Stop.
HE SAW TIE SIGNALS OF DANGER,
But His Train Vas Heavy One and 1t Got Beyond
His COntrOl-The Killed and Injured
in the Wreck.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

BosroN, Sept. 1.-The horror of the
great Quincy accident was recalled last
night, when the through freight express
train, westbound. on the Fitchburg Kali
road, ran into a passenger train standing
on the outbound track at West Cambridge
junction, telescoping the rear car, killing
six persons outright and ipjuring nearly
forty others, three of whom are reported 10
have since died.
Passenger train No. 131. due to leave Bos-
ton at 1918 p. M, started ON time. Nnen
West Ca mDridge junction was reached the
engineer found it necessary, owing TO the
dense fog, 10 run slowly TO the cr0ss-
switch in order to see if he had the right oil
way from the signal tower. While standing
near the switch crossing over the main line
the express freight train, bound west, came
laundering along. and just as the passenger
train started to cross to the Watert0wD
branch the freight train crashed into the
rear Of the passenger train, with the result
above described
When the engine struck the rear car II en-
tered it like wedge, splitting it into two
parts, each of which fell outward upon the
track. while tie whole roof OF the car
lodged on top OF the locomotive. Ihe re-
coil from the collision drove the neaVlIy
loaded freight-cars backward, and although
the two cars nearest the engine were not IN
iured ten or twelve cars behind them we're
smashed into kndling-w wood. The cars
were piled upon one another In undeScfio-
able confusion, completely blocking both
tracks for fully 100 yards. AS soon as the
accident occurred word was dispatched to
the various police stations in Boston. Som
ervile and Cambridge. asking them TO send
surgeons 10 the scene, request that was
committed with al once.

THE MARKET RUINED.
Effect OF the Scare Upon California Frui
Shipments.

Effect of the Scare Upon California Fruit
Shipments.
NEW YORK, Sep. He. Go0dsell. WELL
known auctoneer of California frnit, said
to-day. speaking of the effect of the cholera
scare on the fruit business in this city, that
the receipts of California fruits in New
York had fallen OF about fifty per cent,
owing to the sensational reports that had
been telegraphed to California in regard to
the cholera and its effects upon the fruit
market. In addition to this the newspapers
have injured very considerably the sale OF
fruit by publishing warnings to the public
not to eat "unrpe or over ripe fruit.
1T seems to me-" Mr.. Goodsel re-
marked, that all this injury to commerce
of the Importance that the California trade
has as umed in this city could easily
have been prevented by a correct
statement of the facts. To my
mind it would be Just as sensible 10
warn the police not to eat rotten meat as it
is TO warn the consuming public about
eating over ripe or unrpe fruit.
The result of these statements has been to
make the public suspicious of all fruit. Last
week prices here were lower than what
shippers could get fruit for in California
Peaches are selling at 70 cents a
box. pears at 81 90 and plums and prnues
at 81 crate. In consequence, shipments fell
off from sixty cars day from Sacramento to
all points of the United States TO ten
ears, of which New York has had one or
two daily. AS result Of the light supply
prices have very materially advanced and
have averaged about 80 per cent higher than
was the case last week
A new variety of fruit is coming into the
market now, 10000 pounds being sold by NE
Saturday Of what are called Malaga grapes.
These are very luscious in flavor and, like
foreign grapes, arc white IN color.

A QUIET DAY.
Officers of the Health Department Secure
Needed Rest.


QUARANTINE. n. Y, Sept. 11.-Sundsy
morning at Upper Quarantine passed
quietly, and up to sunrise the Health
Officer and his assistants enjoyed their first
nights undisturbed rest since the dreaded
cholera invaded the shores of New Y York
Bay The first arrival in port this morning
was the Wilson line steamer Curacao from
Huh. She carried no passengers. and no
sickness being found or reported On board
she was at once released and proceeded to
her dock.
La Champagne dropped anchor opposite
the quarantine pier at 6:3S P. NJ, She car
ried $40 saloon passengers and 81 second
class passengers The fact that she had
no immigrants on board added to the hope
of the passengers and crew that the vessel
would not be detained, but that hope was
not of long endurance, as on the Health
Officer boarding her he ordered the ships
detention. although all the passengers bag
gage Lad been shipped at Cherb0urg at the
Government wharf and inspected and fumi-
gated there, affiGayits to that effect being
presented tC the quarantine officers made
by the United States Consul at the port Of
sailing. DR.. Jenkins ordered her detained
for an indefinite period as a precautionary
measure. Later in the day the mail was
fumigaied and landed.
At 9:3S O'clock A. NJ. the Aurania came up
the bay with 5G6 cabin passengers and 709
hags Of mail from Liverpool on board No
sickness was reported, but the death was
reported Of Emily G. Ramsay, ten-yeaI-
Old child OF Robert Ramsay Of Baltimore,
from acute tOnsilitis. The child was at
tackled with the sickness during the voyage

Admiral Walker Has Gone Upon a Host
Important Mission.
BRITISH AGGRESSION 70 BE RESISTED.
The Little Republic Made Pitlful Appeal to Blaine
and 1t Has Been answered With Var.
ships by Our President.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

New YORK, Sept. 11.-A Washington dis
patch to a morning paper says: The
sealed instructions which were to-day de-
livered to Admiral Walker on board the
Chicago. entrusted him with a mission of
more Importance, it is believed. than any
confided to an American naval officer in re-
cent years
The long conference which President
Harrison held with Acting Secretary OF
State Adee on his recent visit to Washing
ton, the consultation between Secretary of
the Navy Tracy and Mr.. Adee yesterday
before Admiral Walkers instructions were
finally agreed upon aud the carefully
w0rded official statement given out that
Admiral Walker was directed to pursue
vigorous course in dealing with the situa-
tion, especially in connection with foreign
aggression" all have now taken sn great
significance.
Admiral Walkers mission to La GuaYra
will be, it is thought to proffer the friendly
intervention OF the United States to the
Venezuelan authorities for the purpose of
the prevention of the final absorption of
Venezuelan territory by Great Britain. and
further to secure the restoration of the
status quo as to boundaries as it existed prior
TO 1887. and to obtain consent for the sub
BliSSlon 10 arDltTaL!on oil the question Oh
title to the territory in dispute between the
two Governments
The keynote of the whole expedition is TO
be found in the dispatch addressed to Mr..
Blaine before his resignation by Mr.. Peraza,
the Venezuelan Minister at Washington.
Dir. Peraza, in behalf of the Venezuelan
Government, earnestly and almost patheti-
caly begged the United States Government
10 Intervene to prevent the republic from
final disruption and to secure the submis-
sion to arbitration of the question in dis
ppte with Great Britain.
The British Government misunderstood
the demands of Venezuela 10 relnquish her
claim to all territory north Of the Schorn-
bnrgh line, which runs westward from
Amacura, on the Orinoco delta, aud that
the arbitration be limited to the territory
south of that line, ON which Great Britain
already seriously encroached.
The British now lay claim TO almost the
entire territory north of the Caroni aud
east OF the Orinoco below the mouth of the
CarOni. This includes, of course, the vast
territory of YuruarI, where is situated the
rich aud productive gold mines of CarataI
and Colloa.
