AT HIS POST.
The President returns to Wash.
Ington for Cabinet Council.
It Is as Nearly Impossible for ChoI-
era to Enter this Country as OFF,
cIals Can Make 1.-THE Arrival of
the MoravIa.

WAsHNGroN, D. c.. September 2.-Presi-
dent Harrison has returned to Washington.
He said, by wire, when leaving Loon Lake:
''The alarm about and danger of the INTRO
duction of cholera has made it necessary
that should abandon for the present the
trip to the north and go to Washington to be
sure that no official precaution is omitted to
protect our people against the threatening
scourge." A conference was held with his
cabinet officers to consider the status OF
cholera affairs.
The arrival of the steamer Moravia IN
New York from Hamburg, after having had
twenty-five deaths on board from cholerine,
was fruitful topic of discussion among the
officials of the government charged with
guarding the nations health. When shown
the dispatch, Assistant Secretary Spaulding
said 1t showed how necessary and timely
were the quarantine precautions taken. He
said there was no doubt the vessel would be
held in quarantine unCil the physicians
should be satisfied all danger shall have been
passed. Speaking of the suggestion that
congress be called together to enact a law
suspending immigration, Mr.. SpauldinG
said, suspension of immigration would
materially decrease the danger though it
would be possible for the cholera to get here
even then. I'VE are doing ell that can be
DONE" he said. ''We have established a
close quarantine to protect this country at
every port. Vessels will be detained just as
long as the health officers think necessary IN
each case whether it be one day or twenty.
| If it is decreed by Divine Providence that
we shall have the cholera here, we cannot
| prevent II, but it is as nearly impossible for
1t to get IN as we can make it,

soonera, Sad Situation

GUTHRIE, o. T., September 2.-The local
land Office has just rendered decision which
will cause thousands of Oklahoma settlers,
as well as hundreds of prospective home
steaders in the Cherokee strip, to tremble in
their boots. The case in question is that OF
Lizzie Dormitt VS.. James Reed. Reed filed a
soldiers declaratory statement on a valuable
tract of land at the opening of the territory.
and was afterwards contested by Miss Dor
mitt on the ground of Reeds being a sooner.
The testimony in the case showed that
Reed left Arkansas City on April IA, 1889,
going to the northwest corner of the Iowa
reservation. In going there he passed over
portion of Oklahoma proper, lying north
of the Cimarron river, on the highway known
as the Captain Nipp trail. He camped near
Fitzgerald creek from April II to 10, close
to the Oklahoma line.
On : p il 10 he appeared at a cattle camp
inside territory line and on the Goth was
present at a roundup very near the tract of
land which he afterward took. The officials
therefore conclude that Reed went on these
pleasure excursions for the purpose of OBJ
tanning an advantage over the other settlers
who remained at the line until the day OF
opening, and so give the land to Miss Dor
mitt.
Under this decision all of the persons who
have visited any of the Indian reservations
in the territory or the Cherokee strip on
1889, are soonerS and cannot obtain title &c
land here. The decision, if upheld by the
department at Washington, will bring int
question the title to hundreds of claims IL
the settled portion of the territory and bal
thousands from taking claims in the future.

Murderous Switohmen.

NEW ORLEANS, September IA strike has
been IN progress here for some days by the
switchmen of the New Orleans & Northwest
ern railroad, part of the Queen 81 Crescent
system, growing out of the objection of the
men to the yardmaster. who was from St.
Louis. The men left their work and the yard
master telegraphed to st. Louis for switch
men to take their places. A party of eleven
men arrived here at o'clock p. N. from
St. Louis and went to work at once. At IL 10
p. m. the men were seated around the yald
talking, when four of them in one group
were fired upon and all four fell over badly
wounded. As far as can be made out there
were a dozen men in the attacking party.
One of the wounded men had strength enough
left to grab his revolver and fire, bringing
down one of their assailants. Another switch
man rushed up to the assistance of their
wounded brethren and the strikers fed.
George Sprague, who is fatally wounded and
will live only few hours, and W..R. Smith,
W. R. Naples and D. F. Jones are seriously
and perhaps fatally wounded. James Sexton,
one of the strikers, is also fatally hurt.

The End of the "Are. 81

New HAVEN, CoNN., August 3O.-Charles A.
E. Totten, late professor of military science
IN Yale college, is out in another warning
message, couched, if possible, in more omi-
nous terms than ever. He maintains that his
calculations are beng infinitely fulfilled and
that this year is the central one of the seven
with which Gentle times close.
The professor says that he looks upon the
period in an odd and strangely significant
way. With respect to the pestilences now
raging abroad, Lieutenant Tltten conjures
the powers that be to spare no vigilance. His
warning IS: ENTER into thy ports and close
thy gates about thee until the indignation is
passed"

troit viii leave Kansas without a resident
Methodist bishop. There has been general
uprising among the Methodist OF New York
state against the removal of Bishop Vincent
from Buffalo, New York, not because ne was
to come 10 Topeka. but because they want
him to stay IN New York. The Methodists
have been joined II their protests against his
removal by almost ali the other religious de-
nominations who are interested in the orig
inal ChautauQua assembly, of which Bishop
Vincent was the founder. The argument
used Is that his place there cannot be filed,
and that he can do more good tn the religious
and educational interests of the church by
living near Chautauqua.
Several of his brother bishops have urged
him TO stay there, and it Is altogether likely
that he will. Bishop Mallalieu. of New Or
leans. who was to have located at Buffalo,
might be induced to come to Topeka, if
Bishop Vincent does not.

BERLIN, August 30.-Delegates from all
the federated states held conference here
on the subject of the cholera.
The president of the police reported that
not single case of Asiatic cholera had yet
been certified to in Berlin. Statements COW
ering the whole health condition of Germany
were reassuring, although Prof. Koch thinks
that the worst pericd of the epidemic IN
Hamburg and Altoona has not yet passed.
The authorities of Hamburg and Altoona
are blamed for concealing the presence Ct
the disease. The first outbreak occurred in
Ham burg as far back as August IA, and in
Altoona August 10. During the whole week
vessels left Hamburg under clean bills of
health, although the authorities knew the
epidemic was daily growing worse.
The imperial health Office, recognizing the
value of the utmost publicity, is making ar
rangements to publish daily health record
of Berlin and other cities, reporting all cases
of cholera and kindred diseases. Diarrhaal

here, and which are apt to alarm the people,
