OUR 81. LOUIS LETTER.

Parades and TabIeau the Fashion-A
Chance for the Local Agriculturiat.
ST.. LOUIS, September 12.-All the great
shows St. Louis is to have this winter seem
to group themselves about the month of the
Fall Festivities. The crowd already here
has arrived Just in time to see the big Ia
Dor day parade, which filed the streets
with marching men, flying banners and
music this week. The celebration of Ger
man day will take place before the peo-
pie leave the city. This Is a festival peculiar
to St. Louis, which other large cities IN the
United States are arranging to initiate
There Is parade of tableauX on floats, sec
ond in beauty only to the Yelled Prophets
procession, and an open air entertainments
in the afternoon at the Fair Grounds, where
national amusenent3 hold the ground till
late hour. From twenty to thirty thousand
people are in the parade, and over nifty
thousand 90 out to the Fair Grounds, to say
nothing of the thousands who ride out there
to look at the scene from curiosity.
Farmers in the Southwestern States who
have little corners of land which they can't
plant with anything, protitably, would make
a good deal of money easily II they would
follow the suggestion to them in the combi-
nation Just effected by the castor oil mills IN
St. Louis This city makes over half OF all
the castor oil in the United States, and the
companies have got tired of the fluctuations
in price brought about by competition They
viii now tix the prlce of both the bean anu
the oil, and the farmer can make contracts
for all the beans he can raise at very good
profit. The new price of the bean will not
be lower thin S1.50a bushel, and at this price
its culture Will be very remuneratlve to west
ern farmers Who go into the business sys-
tematically, and contract ahead for all they
raise. The demand is constantly increasing,
and q protective tariff will keep the market
from being flooded by the bean of India,
which Is the only other country which can
compete with this in the supply.
During the cool weather which came on
St. LOUIS Just as September entered, there
was a short and violent thunderstorm one
afternoon, and the observers up in the signal
Office hastily dropped all their work, and
bringing out all their instruments took OBJ
serVations during every minute while the
outburst lasted. The next day they COM
pared their notes with those received from
other parts of the country which were taken
during the storm, and were disappointed

the New York authorities finally succeed in
preventing Judge Bandard's temporary in
junction against Occupying Fire Island, from
beng made permanent, the federal govern
ment may intervene 70 give a prominent
Normannia cabin passengers The govern
n1ent cannot, however, intervene until Gov
ernor Flower shall have certified he has used
all the power of the great state of New York,
both judicial and military, to overcome the
resistance of the township of Islip, and in
that case President Harrison, upon the gov
ernOr's application, may instruct Secretary
Tracy to send to Fire Island the monitor
MinantOnomah or crulser Philadelphia, and
either of these vessels can easily effect a
landing of the military passengers.

Charles Foster has made the following state
ment; Il received from the president the
following telegram: 1t Is an outrage that
the steamship companies continue to bring
emigrants from infected ports Say to them
that it should stop or we may be compelled
to turn back such pest laden vessels When
the dispatch was read. - Continued Secretary
Foster, 1T was too late to find the agents of
the steamship companies, and gave copy
OF the telegram to Collector Hendricks to
send to the agents. One of the difficulties
that the steamship companies encounter is
the fact that large percentage of the peo-
pie now coming over as Storage passengers
are American citizens. OF course our duty
is just solemn and binding to a poor
steerage passenger who Is an American citi-
iZen as it Is toward the richest cabin pass
enger. I think most of the steamship com
panles are now refusing to bring immi-
grants TO this country and trust those who
are persisting in II will also desist.

To Guard the West.

CHICAGO, September 16.-The Illinois state
board of health held an executive session at
the Grand Pacific hotel with G. n. Hewett,
secretary of the Minnesota state board of
health DR.. Scion Marks, president of the
Wisconsin state board: DR.. J. F. Kennedy,
Iowa state board of health; Henry B. Baker.
president of the Michigan state board of
health c. o. Probst, secretary of the Ohio
state board; DR.. G. n. Metcalf, Indiana state
board of health; and J. n. Mccormack of
the kentucky state board of health.
Dr. w. A. Haskell, of the Illinois board,
who presided, said that his idea was thai the
states represented should combine, and, if
necessary, establish qarantine at the Dor
ders of the territory included in the comb
nation. This would do away with the neces-
sity of establishing quarantine stations at
each state line and the concentrated effort
would result in more perfect quarantine STA
tons.

Tempest in a Teapot.

By action of Governor Flower Fire Island
was purchased by the state to be used for
quarantine ground for cabin passengers.
Near by are Babylon, Islip and smaller
places, whose people took arms toprevent the
landing of quarantined passengers. On Fire
Island is large hotel with cottages which
were to be used to shelter these people. Gov
ernor Flower was telegraphed for and hast
ened to the threatened locality with the an
nounced intention of calling out the state
troops If necessary in order 10 obtain posses
sion of Fire Island. On the other hand the
baymen hint that by the time the troops reach
Fire Island the Surf hotel and the hotel prop
elty surrounding it will be so many heaps of
smoking ashes

BRITISH GREED.
England Claiming Much Terri
tory From Venezuela
EncrOaehD Commenced Years Ago and
Have Reached a Point When the
ssMOnroe Doctrine" Must be
ApDIied-A SQUADRON Sent.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September 14.-Ad-
miral Walker has sailed to the coast of Ven
ezuela with the Chicago as his flag ship,
where he takes command of the squadron
composed of the Chicago, the Concord and
the Kearsarge. Admiral Walker left with
sealed orders, but it is known that the object
of the visit of this powerful squadron to Ven
ezuelan waters is to say Hands orr to the
British squadron already there.
For several years England has been en-
crOaching upon Venezuelan territory, COM
mencing with a claim of a small extension of
the boundary of British Guiana, following
this up by other claims of territory until at
length England took possession of the mouth
os the Orinoco river.
This action makes Venezuela not the only
American republic that Is at the mercy of the
naval power that gets control of the OrinOco
river. Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, the
Argentine Republic and Uruguay are likewise
at its mercy.
In 1888 Secretary Bayard, in correspond
ence with Minister Phelps, then represent
ing this government in England, charged
the British government with following a
preconcerted plan to acquire territory in
South America, in fact declaring that her
rights are without limit and embrace what
ever regions may be suggested to her by her
Unsuitable thirst for conquest.
correspondence OlplOHaIlc mas continued
ever since with no results other than Eng
lands constant extension of her encroach-
ments upon Venezuela.
Meantime Venezuela has time and again
shown to this government that she was not
alone in danger, but that other American re-
publics were interested, and pleading for
active Intervention on the part of the United
States to compel England to submit the mat
ter to arbitration; which Venezuela had all
along asked from England and had been re-
fused.
1t may be with a powerful squadron of
United States gunboats in the harbor of La
Guyra under the command of an admiral
specially instructed to aid and assist to the
full extent of his power, Venezuela may be
able to renew the overtures for arbitration
to better purpose.

The Frost Depended Upon.

New YORK, September 16.-President
Wilson said that there was no occasion for
excitement in this city. The health depart
ment had taken every possible measure to
prevent the spread of the infection.
Sanitary Superintendent Edison said there
was no danger of cholera becoming epidem-
ic. There would be sporadic cases, he said,
for at least sixty days, until the real cold
weather set in, which will have the effect of
stamping out the disease.
DR.. Edison said the infection which caused
the cholera to break out here must have come
through some quarantine. 1t may have been
caused by some infected baggage or clothing
or some passenger who came ashore who
may have communicated the germs.

FIRST BULLETIN.
Mrs. Harrison About to Pass
From Life.
Consultation Results in Loss Of Hope of Hez
Recovery-PuImOnary Tuberculosis As
sOeiated With Continued Nervous
PrOstration-HIstory of the Case.

Drs. F. E. Gardner, of Washington; F. E.
Doughty, of New York, and E. 7. Trudeau,
of Saranac, had a consultation at the presi-
dents cottage at Loon Lake in regard to the
case of Mrs. Harrison. and have issued the
following statement of her condition:
Primary disease pulmonary tuberculosis
of the night side associated with nervous
prostration; recent complication, subacute
pleurlsy, with rapid effusion of water in the
right chest, necessitatlng two tappings with
some relief. The present condition is criti-
cal, on account of tendency to reproduction
of the fluid. Removal to Washington at
present is impossible. Representation as to
the immediate future uncertain"
The presidents family take no encourage
ment from the bulletin and make no effort
to conceal great alarm at the situation. The
physicians advise them to hope for the best,
but offer no real encouragement. They adj
init that they are uncertain as to the result,
and have, so 1t is sand, quietly intimated to
the president the strong probability of a fatal
result. The pre- idenE is a most faithful
companion and rarely leaves Mrs. Harrison 8
bedside. In fact he really shares the nursing
Of the invalid with a professional attendant.
Russell Harrison and Mrs. Mckee, the presi-
dents son and daughter, are also in constant
attendance.
One of Mrs. Harrison's physicians has au-
thoriZed the following statement of her case
''She was first taken with a severe attack OF
the grippe, in Washin gton, in the winter of
1890, followed and aggravated by severe pull
m onary trouble lasting some time. While al
Cape May IN the summer of 1891 she again
took heavy cold and bronchial troubles re
appeared. 1t was some weeks before this
attack yielded to treatment. Last winter
she had a second attack of the grippe, which
this time was followed by catarrhal pneumo
MIA, lasting seven or eight days. After that
she was troubled with a severe cough, fol
rhage of the right lung followed by the con
solidation of the right apex. This CONSOLE
datlon has gradually increased up to the pres
ent time, accompanied throughout will
nervous prostration. The conditions statel
in the bulletin then ensued, resulting in tn
| development of effusion."

Interest to Kansas Cattle Owners.

WASHINGTON. D. c., September 13.-The
report of Inspector Albert Dean, Of Kansas
City, on the matter of Texas fever among
cattle in Lyon, Chase and Greenwood cOun-
ties, Kan, has been received at the depart
ment of agriculture. 1t represents that there
Is very little danger of the disease spreading
among the cattle, owing to unusual efforts
beng made by the farmers to stop its pro
gress. He found them very much alarmed,
ana quite willing to follow suggestions from
the inspector concerning the best method of
arresting its progress. The report is of
most hopeful character, and deals in detail
with the subject under consideration.
The secretary has decided upon a plan
which Is important to the cattle owners of
Kansas.
As soon as the Texas fever was reported in
Kansas. all export shippers refused to buy
Kansas cattle. In doing this they acted ac-
cording to tho general custom. Since 1t has
been shown that the disease Is under com
plete control, the secretary will recommend
TO export shippers that all restrictions cover
ing Kansas cattle be Withdrawn. They will
doubtless follow his recommendation. as
they have always done under similar circum-
stances, and in few days Kansas cattle will
again be admitted to export. No one Is per-
socally more delighted over this fact than
the secretary OF the department of agricul-
ture.

Accident at a Convention.

GUTHRIE, o. T.-Septomber 15.-The re-
publican convention of Logan county had
just been called to order in McKinnon's OPP
era house when the balcony gave way. The
house was crowded, the floor with delegates
and the balcony with spectators
The balcony was suspended from above
by two iron girders, one at each end. For
tunately only one end of the girders gave
way or the loss of life would doubtless have
been very great. AS it was one end of the
structure fell making an incline plane of 1t,
allowing spectators to slide of to the floor
below.
The accident came near causing panic,
which was averted only by the GOODNESS of
Colonel Thomas Sumner, who was presiding
as temporary chairman, and two delegates
in either aisle of the floor, who stood the
rushing crowd back.

Fire at the STATE Fair.

TOPEKA, September 16.-There was lively
fire scare at the state fair grounds. The po-
lice had arrested seven Migrants who had
climbed over the fair grounds fence and were
found sleeping in empty stalls and out of
the way places. All of the fellows were
locked up IN the police station near the main
building until they could be taken into town
in the patrol wagon. While locked up the
Migrants set fire to the shed by means of
rubbish that was in the building. They then
broke out the windows and in the excitement
made their escape. The fire apparatus is
near by and was quickly pulled out. The
fire did little damage.

affairs, is in Chicago, where he will join
Senator Dawes and the senate committee on

that work has been assigned to a special
committee of which Senator Perkins is

Precautions nv the Railroads

CHICAGO, September 15.-An the Chicago
railroads are adopting measures to prevent
the transportation of cholera infected immi-
grants into the west.
No recent arrivals from Europe are now
being brought from New York, or any of the
eastern seaports, who are not armed with
bills of health or certificates showing holders
do not hail from parts of Europe afflicted
with disease. Ticket agents throughout the
west have received orders to discontinue alb
soluUely the sale of prepared orders until the
danger is past. Instructions also have been
sent TO agents IN Europe to sell no more

EXCESS
In Wheat Receipts in the West
over New York.
Shows Both Piling Up I'm the West and
Shipments Manufacturers Ac-
tive and Behind Demand; Yet Fail
to Hold Back Gold

NEW YoRK. September 12.-R 6. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Last weeks semi-panic in stocks and grain
has been followed by a more confident feel
ing about the cholera, as it is seen that the
pestilence thus far is confined to incoming
ships by the national regulations, which all
officers are now respecting.
Stock advanced about IS cents per share
on the whole, though in other markets the
alarm of last week still continued The
general condition Of the industries and trade
throughout the country is not only remarka-
bly, good but is improving perceptibly from
week to week, although exports of merchan-
disc are not yet large enough to prevent
some shipments of gold.
The iron industry grows more active.
Nearly all the works have full orders and the
output is now heavy. Nails advanced 10
cents per keg, but a weakness appears in the
prices of structural and plate iron.
The expected war between the Pennsyl-
vania and Reading roads causes dullness
in coal.
The cattle receipts at Chicago for the year
are ID per cent. larger than last year, and
the receipts of all live stock there in August
were nearly % per cent. larger.
All textile works are remarkably busy, and
In dry goods a better demand is seen for
medium grade worsteds and the demand is
in excess of the supply for plain wool goods,
while the prices of cottons are firm, some
advancing.
Wheat sold at ~ cents, and excepting
in two days in 1884 no lower prices have been
recorded here. The western receipts have
been 800, 900 bushels in four days, against
1000 of Atlantic exports.
Oats are half cent higher, but corn is
much lower, with Frightening crop prospects
at the west. Coffee is Is lower. Cotton had
advanced 6-10 during the week, although the
Financial Chronicle makes the last crop g.
OBS, 900 bales and the decrease in acreage this
year only II per cent. With the restricted
exports of products at present, the foreign
exchange is already strong, but the treasury
has out in new notes $500, 900 more than it
has added to its stocks of gold and silver and
money markets throughout the country are
fairly supplied, while the conditions in all
quarters are very fair for the season. 1t is
expected that some more gold will go out
this week. But no apprehension appears as
yet on account of this unusually long con-
tinued movement because the supplies of
currency available are remarkably large and
the interior markets appear to demand less
money from the seaboard centers than is
usually demanded at this season.
Business failures in the United States the
past week were 146, compared with 1S9 the
corresponding week last year.

napnlficent floral horse shoe placed about
rs neck. This performance of Lobasco's
ewes him the stallion record for one, two
and three heats for stations.

A Case in Minnesota.

NoRTHF1ELD. MINI. September 15.-F. L.
Delaney, of this state, has been taken seri-
ously i'll with what is considered Asiatic
cholera. He was at the state fair in charge
of lot of imported horses from France that
arrived in New York prior to the quarantine
proclamation. It is thought the infection
was carried IN the baggage which came over
with the horses. The physicians refuse to
talk of the casa
