NO CHOLERA In GOTHAM.
THE SUSPECT ONLY SUFFERING
FROM OVEREATING

dant's Proclamation and Raises a
Rumpus - The Situation Encour-
aging.
Nrw YORK, Sept 2-Joseph Etwanin of
No Q5 Orchard street, who DR.. Beck re-
Dorted last night as cholera suspect, is not
;nfao,ed with the pest. His illness Is due TO
ovsrtseding after being nearly starved in
Rnssa. He was all right this morning.
For dinner yesterday Etwanin ate almost
tvo pounds Of oorned beef, a small mount
ain of cabbage and two watsrmelons. at
least his sister says he did.
The steamer Island has arrived at quar-
.ntine With So cabin and SIT steerage
Messengers. They are ScandinaviAns and
Danes and are q remarkably clean and
healthy lot OF people. On Aug. "a an Inn
migrant named Christensen was washed
overheard and drowned.
The City Of Berlin has arrived with 2o3
Hrst.class cabin, 232 second and 658 Storage
passengers. All are well on board and her
peopls had not heard of the arrival Of
cholera In England. They were very ex-
cited over the news.
THE vEENDAM RELEASED.
The Veendam was released from quaran-
tine in the afternoon and came up to her
pier. No cases of cholera were discovered
on any OF the qusrantined vessels
very careful examination will be made
Of ships expected In the next few days, as It
is feared some of them may be pest ships.
DR.. Byron, a bacteriologist, who has been
examining the clothing and bedding sent
him from the infected Morayia, said to-day
that be had not found any cholera germs,
but that was not strange, as only small
piece of mattressa and sheet were sent
him, all infected articles having been
thrown overheard. This was very odd con-
duct the doctor said, on the part OF the
MoraviaS physician.
THE CITY THOROUGHLY PREPARED.
New York is thoroughly alarmed at the
situation and the result is that the CITY was
never so we'll equipped to prevent the in
PRODUCTION Of any disease, aud to combat it
II the disease should find a lodging
In the metropolis. The quarantine
regulations are nearly perfect in the
city, all the municipal departments ara pre-
pairing TO assist In stamping out the cholera.
Mayor Grant has vetoed q resolution re-.
Gently passed by the board OF aldermen
making Saturday next, which precedes Leg
Dor day, legal holiday. He says In view
OF the danger which threatened the oivy
from Asiasic cholera all heads of depart
should be on constant duty.
NOT TO CARRY I1MIGRANTs.
The twenty days quarantine cirkr,Iar
issued by the President has had the cssIrad
effect and every steamship agent received
cables announcing that their eornpanies
would carry no more steerage pa bsenoers
for the present. The French line. White
Star, Cunard and Hamburg COMPANY
were some of the companies which
haVa nvVf aR A.
6usiniss temporarily. Word w7As received
from the treasury department that cabin
passengers would not be detained at quarAn-
tine after the health officers were satisfied
that they could safely depart. FreighU
vessels also will be held long enough to
obviate the danger Of cholera Introduction
The mails are being furnigated and the
Danger from this source is 90 we'll recognized
mat It Is minimized to a great degree. The
canadian mails will also be fumigatsd.
JENKINS AROUSED.
a smsll-sized tempest ragged arouud the
health office and the Office Of the collector
OF the port to-day. 1t all grew QUA Of a
Misunderstanding of the Presidents oircu-
Mr, and for a time the issue seemed TO be

Digger man than the President. The doc
