JamaicS's Tropical Plants.

One of the finest displays of large
sized specimens Of tropical plants which
will be shown at the exposition will
come from Jamaica Col. C. J. Ward,
the special commissioner from that
country, has been one of the most en-
thusiastic commissioners in the interest
of the fair, and has been unceasing in
his efforts to have his country properly
represented. The fora of the island is
as rich and varied as any of the tropical
islands of the world, and naturally the
plants and fruits will be of first impor-
lance in its exhibits. At an carly date
the extensive botanical gardens were
established and put in charge of well
trained Englishmen, who are not only
experienced botanists, but experts in
the knowledge of propagating and
growing plants. Fortunately for the
department of horticulture, the
plants have had special preparation for
distant shipment, and Col Ward has ar
ranged with the steamship companies
to transport them to American ports
this summer.

The late John w. Breckenridge, the
vice-presidents son, was a favorite
lawyer of the California ranchmen
One day at Fresno he volunteered to de-
fend a cowboy friend who had been ar
rested for some minor offense. and his
knowledge of law and the natural elo-
quence which he exhibited in the little
country courtroom made his reputation
in that lawless community. He secured
the acquittal of his client, and from
that day on whenever a cowboy got into
trouble he went straight TO Breckin-
ridges Office. Disadvantages fame as a
lawyer and orator soon spread through
out the surrounding country.

Not AGREED About Strikes.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, September ct has
been developed that there is by no means
unaninity in the convention of Commercial
Telegraphers in session here. The conserTa-
tive operators are wary of clashing with the
big telegraph corporations. The radicals
favor putting the organization upon strike
basis as soon as possible. Il Is said that the
two factions are holding caucusss to further
their interests. 1t is not believed that a
strike organization Will be formed, however,
as most of the operators show an inclination
to go slow IN the matter of strikes.
There will be benevolent feature to the
order. 1t will consist of insurance to the
amount of 500 for the first year of mem
bership, at the end of which one is entitled
to the Uniform Rank degree. This amount
of insurance will be increased 500 every
year for ten years, when 81 900, the maxi
mum, will be reached. The operator will
then be admitted to the last degree to be
known as the Mystic. There will be a sick
and death fund. Membership will be open
to every operator. male or female, over 16
years of age, in America.

Non-Union Men Attacked.

LONDON, September GA train carried
out from Liverpool 80 non-union workmen
to the Newbridge salt works, where a strike
is in progress. Unionist scouts in Liverpool
telegraphed ahead that the non-union1sts
were coming, and when the train reached
the station several hundred men, led by
strikers, had gathered to prevent the new
men from leaving the carriages.
Most of the men on the train had armed
themselves with knives in expectation of
trouble. Despite the warning shouts of the
crowd about half the non-unionists left the
tram. They were attacked with stones and
clubs and a hand to hand fight followed be
tween them and the front ranks of the
strikers. The non-unionists drew their
knives and cut right and left among the
strikers, injuring some forty men severely.
Two companies of military were called out
before the mob could be dispersed. All the
men who had remained on the tram refused
to leave it, and those who had left it re-
turned to it, carrying the injured All the
men were then taken back to Liverpool

PanIcs on Board Steamers.

NEW YORK, September 6.-The newly in
fected steamships which arrived here last,
tell awful stories of Geath and suffering.
There was great alarm among passengers
when they learned that the dread disease had
appeared on board the vessels. On the
Normania the captain did his best to allay
the fears of cabin passengers by assuring
them that every effort would be made to
keep the disease from spreading. The ignOr-
ant steerage passengers were completely
panic stricken upon learning that cholera
had appeared among them. They lost their
heads entirely and appeared to be incapable
of helping themselves in the slightest re-
spect. The captain and the sugeon ordered
a careful watch to be kept over the steerage
passengers in order that they did not heed
lessly run to the danger of catching the dis
ease. In spite of all precautions more cases
soon developed.
The same scenes were also enacted on
board the Rugia-
DR.. jenkins has issued the strictest kind of
orders and under no circumstances will he
allow any one to approach the vessels quar-
antined. Further cases are anticipated on
the MOravia also.
An even worse state of affairs is antici-
pated on two additional vessels expected
from Hamburg within the next week which
left later than these arrivals and when the
disease had made greater ravages IN Ham
burg. The quarantine officers are IN a state
OF nervous excitement. 1t must not be un-
derstood that they are frightened but they
were hoping for the best.

CIrouIar of SuppestIons.

NEW YORK, September 6. = The board of
health has sent a copy of the following cir
cular to all railroad stations and ferry houses
in this city. Copies will also be sent to all
the factories in this city. The circular
states that should cholera appear in this city
a temporary place for isolation and deten-
ton should be provided in ferry houses, rail-
road stations, factories, etc., for such as may
be taken i'll there or while riding on ferrJ
boats or railroads (street or steam) within
this city. This room should be easily
reached, and have a water tight floor. Per
sons suffering from vomiting should be
placed in the room at once, and the health
officer Immediately notified.
The circular then goes on to state the
methods that should be used to prevent the
spread of the disease.

tions. The great horse market which was
fixed to open Tuesday, has been indefinitely
postponed. This fair would have been the
likeliest center for the propagation of the
epidemic, as it brings to Berlin dealers from
every quarter of Germany near the Baltic
sea-
President Harrison's circular is mainly re-
garded here as justifying more rigorous
measures to stop Russian or other emigra-
ton from entering Germany. The provinces
of Galicia and Bohemia and even Italy
SEND streams OF immigration through
Germany, and these are likely to be thrown
upon our hands, under President Harri-
sons edict. The decision of the steamship
companies not to take steerage passen-
gers on their vessels, keeps number of
refugees here, but no more Will be allowed
to cross the frontier. HencetOrth the from
tiers will be closed, absolutely, against Rus
sian immigrants, and IN the case of those
from other countries, none will be permitted
to enter Germany unless the companies con-
veying them to their final destination guar
antee the fulhllment of their contract.

NEW YoEK, September "a letter written

ing by member of her family. sour chief
suffering" says the letter, sis from pure
neglect. We want sanitary expert to take
charge of such measures on the ship. A
great deal has been done, but experts could
do much. This feeling of neglect, the de-
moralizing strain OF uncertainty of the time
of quarantine combined with it, tells on the
strongest. All would be patient could they
feel that any wise care had been taken of
them, and could we be removed from the
crew and the stokers-the only people in
clined to any kind of illness. Try what you
can get done for US with the members of the
medical profession. They must realize the
wlckednesS of our situation. The captain
has no control over the stokers and crew.
Their wages had to be granted by the pass
enGers or the crew would not work, since
their engagements with the company were
over. If we have storm we can't lie here ;
1t Is too shallow. We don't complain of our
necessary detention, but to have 480 men,
women and children cooped up here in con-
tact with Infection without medical inspec-
ton, or supervision or disinfection, or fresh
water, or hospital boat, or regular commu-
nicatlon with shore is CRIME of the worst

The ship carries cargo of rags and mer-

regarded as a good medium to carry infec-

but the rags were gathered on the continent.
Perhaps some of them came from the in

have occasion to regret the EbroW's passage
through He'll Gate.

NEW YoRK, Sept. 5.-R- 6. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
While industry and business were improving
daily and prospects were brighter than ever,
the sudden alarm about cholera came to
cause some hesitation
It is even said that buyers from the south
who had departed for this city, returned back
because they were afraid of detention by
quarantine here. There Is reason for the
utmost precaution against the importation
of the disease. which city and national
authorities are taking with creditable ener-
gy, but there IS yet no ground for supposing
that the pestilence will gain foothold here
this season. In all other respects the bust
ness prospects are clearly better, than year
ago and nearly all accounts show an actual
increase in business.
Crop prospects are better money is in
greater demand, but there is an ample sup
ply everywhere and industries are producing
ports may be curtailed by the pestllence IN
Europe has depressed the markets. Wheat
dropped to 9814, the lowest point since 1888,
and recovered only to fall on cents for the
week. Corn dropped 61S cents for the week,
with better western reports. Cotton rose q
shade but has fallen to rs cents again with
sales of 666,O0O bales. Oats declined y
cent; pork, 80 cents per barrel; lard, 30
cents, and hogs 80 cents per hundred pounds
and oil Is cents lower.
The greater part of these changes come
from the unnatural conditions of the
markets. For some tine they held up in
spite of the extraordinary stocks in sight.
Wheat receipts in four days were 4, 1852, 296
bushels, but the exports were only 963, 415
bushels. 1t has been evident that Europe
will take less of QUIZ products this year than
last, but the pestilence there will not greatly
diminish the need for food or clothing.
Manufacturers in this country have never
been in a better condition, on the whole.
than that which the reports now indicate.
All textile manufacturers are producing
more and consuming more material than
ever, and the demand has rarely pressed SO
closely on the supply. Most of the wooden
mills are crowded, while the stocks of goods
in sight are phenOmenally low.
The iron and steel industry rapidly re-
sumes full production, though some mills
are yet delayed by repairs. The demand fol
pig Is good, while the mills are pushed fol
bar, plates, sheets and structural iron.
It is enough to say of the wooden manu-
facturers that the sales at three of the CHIEF
markets since the middle of May have beer

LONDON, September president Harri-
sons circular relative to the quarantining
of vessels carrying immigrants, finds gener-
al approval and even admiration here.
There is some feeling of envy, also, that
the American law enables the government to
take such prompt and thorough steps to stop
the importation of cholera. The hating and
imperfect measures of the British local
government board directing that what the
boards edict calls ''flthy, unwholesome per-
sons, coming from foreign ports shall not
pass unchallenged is questioned by high le-
gal authorities as exceeding the powers of
the board.

livan, the latter was put to sleep.
After Sullivan was brought around he
stepped to the middle of the ring and made
a speech, saying that he was glad the cham

had fought once too often IN the ring.

something tremendous and he walked around
the ring kissing and hugging his friends.

had come at last.
