The Kaiser Wilhelm II. arrived at
Quarantine station at1:15 p. m. AS the
steamer came to anchor at Quarantine,
signals were displayed on board indi-
eating that she was not under control.
Vice-President Lovett and a number
of directors of the Union Pacific rail-
road went down to the quarantine sta
tion on the Southern Pacific tug El
Amigo to meet Mr.. Hartman. Mr..
Lovatt said before starting that 1t was
the planned TO take Mr. Hartman on
board a tug and convey him from the
steamer to the Erie railroad station In
Jersey City Another party of Mr.. Har-
riman's friends were on board the sec
.ond tug, which also went down the bay
to meet the steamer.
Hartman will leave the vessel in Ho-
bolSen on~a special tug and proceed to
the Erie terminal in Jersey City, where
a special train will be waiting to take
him to his country place In Arden. AS
arranged by him by message from the
steamship yesterday, he will meet the
representatives of the press on the
train. 5,
The tug Eel Toro, with Judge Lovett
and other friends of Mr.. Hartman,
drew alongside the steamship. and prep
arations were made for Mr.. Hartman
70 board the tug. The first to leave the
Kaiser Wilhelm II. were two women ot
the Hartman party. The women re-
turned to the steamer several minutes
later.
The steamer was detained at Quar-
antine longer than the usual time, be-
cause of two deaths of steerage passe1-
gers. which were investigated by the
health officer.
MT. Hartman was rather pale ana
thin hut his voice sounded firm and
strong. Beyond saying that he was
feeling better MIR. Hartman declined
to discuss either his health or busi-
ness.
II promised not to talk until l meet
the newspaper men going out to Ar
den," he said, land think l had bet
ter keep my word"
Mr.. Hartman said he would remain
on the Kaiser Wilhelm II. until she
reached the dock and would not go uI
the bay on the tug which met him.
MIR. Hartman inquired about the
weather ashore, and when informe
that it was hot said that he was pre-
pared for it. He was at lunch When
the steamer reached quarantine.
The officers of the steamer said that

man.

The officers also said that Mr.. Harri-
uidH-SWdS lOOklnS HuCli DCtIOi sAieeii
Is hen he went on board the steamer In
Cherbourg.
The plans to take Mr.. Hartman OIL
the liner at quarantine, were evidently
changed because of the deaths of two
children in the steerage, which caused
the steamer to be delayed. The bodies
were taken from the steamer and sent
to the other quarantine station on
Swinburne Island. Meantime the tugs
and revenue cutter with, Harrimans
friends on board were kept waiting and
no one was allowed to board the
steamer except the health officer.
Mr. Hartman was in his state-room
when the steamer reached quarantine.
He was resting his head and shoulders
against a pillow as he ate lunch.A
The signal indicating that the steam
or was not under control was caused
by the breaking of the steering-gear
near the bridge, necessitatng slight
