81 with 2.sSo,6E4 feet of lumber and
5000 bundles OF lath. Her cargo was

Der Company and the cargo was con-
signed to merchants in Shanghai and

At the office of the Pacific Export

vessel was loaded with a neutral car

close TO Hakodate and it is surmised
here that the vessel was merely
stopped from the ordinary course by

FEAR cHoLERA's HORRORS.
Tsingtau Dispatch Causes Deep Con-
Germ in Russian Circles.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 24.-Al-
though no confirmation has been re-
ceived at this hour at either the War
Office or the Admiralty of the report
from Tsingtau that cholera has broken
out at Port Arthur. it is admitted that
possibly it is true, owing to the ter
ribly unsanitary conditions around the
fortress arising from the number of
decaying corpses there.
The announcement none the less has
caused the deepest concern in naval
and military circles. 1t is hoped,
however, that even II the report is
true the outbreak will turn out to, be
a mild one and that 1t will be quickly
checked by rigid discipline and the
isolation of suspicious cases.
1t is pointed out that If the cpl
demic, despite all precautions. obtains
a foothold, ii is likely to AFFECT the
Japanese as well as the Russians.

VIENNA, Sept. 24.-The Cairo CORE
spondent of the Neue Freie Presse gives
an account of the sensational abduc-
ton of the beautiful young Daughter of
Sheikh El Saddat by the Sheikh Ali
Joussef, who is the proprietor and ed
itor of the principal native journal, Ell

ALI Joussef. it appears, who was deep

extreme measure because the girls
father, who is the sole living descend
ant of the prophet Mahomet, had re-
fused his consent to his daughters mar
riage with Ali Joussef on the ground
that he was not fit person to be the
husband Of a girl of such noble line
age.
Ali Joussef having abducted the girl
and placed her In his harem, her father
appealed to the Egyptian Government,
with the result that a detachment of
armed police was dispatched to Ali
Joussefs harem to demand the restitu-
ton of the girl.
This request being refused, the police
made a forcible entry to the premises,
and, in order to be sure that they had
taken possession of the person wanted,
they ordered all the fair denizens of the
harem, together with their attendants
and servants, to follow them in a yelled
procession to the house of SheilSh Ell
Saddat, where his daughter was finally
selected from the rest of the women and
detained

ceedings before the British authorities,
