land, to Trinity bay, Newfoundland, and
in September of the same year cable which
had been lost in 1865 was recovered and its
laying completed, thus giving two lines

CHOLERA AIN NAPLES,
Difficult to Get Any Information
on the Subject

LONDON, July 24.-Information hav-
ing reached this city of the reiterated
reports published i'll the United States
as TO the presence OF cholera i'll Naples,
the London agent of the Associated
Press has tried by every means in
his power to ascertain the truth
or falsity of the reports. InQuir-
les have lbeen made in several di-
rectlons, but nothing was elected that
would Justify the assertion that cholera
had appeared in Naples. The London
newspapers OH Friday last stated that
two cholera deaths had occurred in the
city, but the authorities probably de-
MED that the disease was OF the Asiatic
type, and later Information CLEANED by
the Associated Press supported them iu
their denial.
Today the authorities at Gibraltar
declared an eight-day quarantine
against vessels arriving from Naples.
and this fact suggests that the Italian
authorities are holding back informa-
tion as to the presence of the scourge.
The American consul at Naples was
questioned by telegraph in regard to
the matter today. He responded that
he regretted that he was unable to fur
nish the desired information.

His majesty, the king OF Siam, gave

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, July 24.-The oral ar
gument in the fauouS "Section Thirty
case was concluded before Commission
er Lamoreaux this afternoon. Thirty
days will be allowed the attorneys in
which to file briefs, and then the matter
will be taken up and decided by the
commissioner. The land in contest is
located near Ely, and is supposed to
contain the most valuable iron mine in
the United States. So far the valuation
that has been placed upon it is specu-
lative, but it is either worth millions or
very small amount. 1t was first located
with Sioux half-breed scrip, in June,
1888, by F. w. Eaton. In October, 1884,
Thomas w. Hyde and Angus Mcdonald
contested this entry. This contest
reached the secretary of the interior in
1889, and on Feb. Is Secretary
Villas rejected the application OF
hyde and Mcdonald at the same
time that he ruled out the
Sioux scrip entry declaring that the
land was again open to settlement. This
decision deprived Hyde and Mcdonald
OF their preferred right to enter the
land. This was because of contract
with their attorneys. Hyde and Nc
Donald promptly made all application
for a re-hearing which was finally
granted by Secretary Noble in 1891.
Meantime as soon as the decision of
Secretary Villas was made known there
was a wild rush at the Duluth land
office by number of parties, among
them Emil Hartman, the Bishot Iron
company and several others. OF these
Hartman seems to be rather ahead.
However, before the decision of Secre-
tary Villas had been made known to the
Duluth officials and before the land
was open on the books there an entry
was offered by Alden and James,
the representatives of the Mime
sofa Iron company and it was
i'll their favor that Register Nichols rem
dered his decision at the close of the re-
hearing ordering i'll 1891, and which
ended in March 1892. The evidence
sent on by Register Nichols fills 5000
pages and contains charges and counter
charges of forgery, and crooked work
enough to send a half dozen to the peni-
tentiary. Il. w. Marble. of Duluth, and
John Brennan, of West Superior, were
the only Northwestern attorneys pres
ent.

NEW YORK, July 2s.-The counsel of

guage and actions detrimental to the
best interests of exchange. Mr.. We'll

governors on Aug. 4. We'll. it will be

Our Interests In Siam.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-So far as the
state department is informed there are
no American people residing in Siam,
except about a score of missionaries. 1t
is not believed to be necessary to take
any special measures for their protec-
ton. The United States has no diplo-
matte representative in Siam, and the
consul-general at Bangkok, Mr.. Roval,
is in this country at present. leaving
the Office in charge of his son, the vice
consul. If the welfare of our mission
aries should be threatened, which is
unlikely, they can without doubt secure
protection upon application to the min
lister of some other nation, as will be
the case with the French residents. The
commercial interests of the United
States in Siam are Insignificant. the eX-
ports being very few, and the imports
being made up of teak wood used in
ship building and some trifieS of Orien-
tai and Maiaynesian decorative work.

Killed His Coachman.

OcoNoMowoc, Wis, July 24.-Will-
lam Schumacher, coachman for William
H. Thompson, of Chicago, was instantly
killed this morning by blow struck by
his employer. Young Thompson is a
son of wealthy old William a. Thomp-
son. who died last year. The young
man has a summer residence in Islam
dale, on La Belle lake. This morning
Mr.. Thompson had occasion to visit his
stable, when he found his coachman in
an alteration with another employe.
Thompson interfered and struck Schu-
nacher blow under the ear, from the
effects of which lie soon after died.
The trouble seems to have originated
in dissipation on the part of the coach
man. and in tale-bearing on the part of
of the other employe.

MAY HAVE CLERKS.
Congressman Must Have Assist
ance During the Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-First Comp
troller Bowler has made several decis-
sions in answer to queries from Clerk
Kerr, of the House of Representatives,
regarding the employment of clerks by
congressman, provided for at the last
session. He decided that congressman
are authorized to employ clerks during
an extra session of congress; that any
number of congressman may employ
and pay the same clerk if they desire,
and that clerks so employed do not have
to take an oath of office.
The first comptroller also called Mr..
Kerr'S attention to the fact that but
S20,OU0 is appropriated for "miscellan-
eous items and expenses of special and
select committees" and that if all mem
bers avail themselves of the privilege
of hiring clerk during the entire ses-
sion the fund will be exhausted during
the first month of the session. More
money will probably be appropriated
for this purpose at an early day.

admiral Harmony,s Retirement.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-It is said at
tile navy department that Admiral Har-
mony's recent retirement, for which the
department has been criticized, was in
strict accordance with his written re-
quest. He cabled the department from
Hong Kong March 13, asking to be
ordered home and retired upon arrival
in the United States. He suggested
June as the most convenient date for
his departure. The next day orders
were prepared detaching him from COM
mand on the reporting of his relief, and
authorizing him to take the steamer
from Hong Kong June Z. The order
further stated that in accordance with
his request he would, on arrival, be
transferred to the retired list. This re-
quest was contained III letter dated
Hong Kong March Z, in the following
words:
"After request for detachment, and
