Ptitn IsiAN-n , BAIIYI.OX. Sept. 13. From nil
inulcatlons In this pluco tbo bay uieu 8 llttlo
war is over.
About4:30 : this afternoonthoro was nsmall
crowd of nowspapur men , summer residents ,
Iny men and others gathered around
the end of the dock nt the
1 > lor , from which the llttlo excursion
boat "Typplo. " now the property of Iho
state , put In between Flro Island mid main
land. In Iho middle of this throng was a
liandsomo rle , In which four gentlemen were
seated , The moro prominent of these was
the much abused David Samn.U , the late
proprietor of the Surf hotel , Flro Island ,
whoso action in selling tils property to the
state of Now York for quarantlno purposn *
hns aroused n marltlmo plot which has been
very much exaggerated.
An Associated J'rcas correspondent uskod
Mr. Sutmiils to make a statement of his
vlows of the whole affair and ho suld :
"Tho whole matter bus been a tempest In
n teapot. I \\Uatnnyotborraan In my
position wo | d have dono. I was miulo u
fair otfcr for i'y property and I accepted it.
That is nil thorn is In it. Some of the bay
mon , excited by piopln who had po
litical measures to servo , became lui-
Dressed moro or less with the idea
that the ostablUhmBtit of n quarantine sta
tion nt Flro Island would Injure their busi
ness. This is nil bosh , nnd they now know
that It is so Ana practically admit if. The
political leaders led them on for effect nnd
, the demonstration wnon the Copbous llrst at
tempted to land the Normnunia'a passengers
was the result. Tbero is no need now to send
any troops hero , and on Fire island , in Baby-
loii. nt Isllp and at Uny Shoro'ull Is qulot. "
The S'ormannla's passoncor.s have ull been
landed nnd will bo made as comfortable as
possible.
The Associated Press report nbout the va
cation of Iho It.juncMon was the ilrst Intlui.i-
tlor. of the matter received here , and was
Immediately communicated to the pari ongors
on the Copheus. who ncltnowledred the re- ,
cclpt of the gooa news by loud cheers , the
band at Iho same tlmn playing ' 'America. "
Soon afterwards Sheriff Uarllnc received a
dispatch ftoiu Uovtrnor Flower Instructing
him to uld in the worlt of landinc tno passen
gers , ns the InJunctiPii had been ordered
vitf.itrd. Senator Mcri.erson. A. M Palmer
and P. T. Wall oimo ashore for the purpose
of locating rooms for the use of the weary
passon cors.
Coiiiiiiiinlrutlnrltli the Alitliiluiul.
The AsHoclatod Press reporter subse
quently Interviewed a number of leading
men or ull classes , rciiilonta und hotel men ,
nnd ull Join In savins that the vlows ex-
jiroseod by Mr. Sammls nro undoubtedly cor
rect In nil the main particulars. Ono fact
liocutno evident to the correspondent , mid
that uas that the quarantine of thopeoploon
Flro island Is a fnrce of the vary worst
description. Thn correspondent stood there
and watched at least a dczen boats como
from the Island to tbo mainland nr.d there
land loads of people , who , it scorned from
their conversation ana from the admission of
sovera : , have been In close communication
nnd conversation with the Norrtiannlii's de
tained cabin paoseiigors. Ex-Scuntor
Otis , for instance , in his yacht ,
landed quilo n caigo of people from
Flro Itlund , including Detective Sergeant
McClosky and Mr. Crovvloy of Inspector
.Byrnes' . stuff. A number of newspaper correspondents -
respondents also landed , some of them lauch-
Ing and Joking over their experiences. It Is
§ ald that when the uteamboal Typplo left for
Flrn island on her last trip , shocarried nbout
n dozen nabylonluus nud others who wuro
J going to Flro Island to spend the nicht und
como back hnro In the morning. This will
give some Idua of the quarantlno farce ns
enacted hero.

In the presence of o.OOJ enthusiastic specta

uously nearly nil dav , us the republican stftto
committee had nude arrangements to run ex
cursion trains from ull portions of Indiana ,
and every prominent town of the state bud
expected lo furnish its quota ot visitors and
marching clubs. Lo ) < i > lto the rain , however ,
twenty-eight excursion trains from this sec

sands of visitors watched with interest the
oporallotis of the milts. It was not until
12:3 : ! ) that the train bearing Governor Me-
ICInloy of Ohio , Governor Cliusa of Inutann ,
Chairman Gowdy of the stnto republican
committee , Hon. Charles L. Henry , candi
date for congress of the Seventh district , and
iho Columbia club of Indianapolis reached
the city.
Elaborate arrangements had boon made
for .speaking from two stands In the grove ,
but the weather prevented this and Governor
McICtnlcy made ht.s principal address from
tbo opera house stage. Over l.OJO nersons
were uuublo to obtain entrance to this
building. These people stood stolidly In the
rain for ovnr half au hour , waiting to catch u
glimpse of ibo great American protectionist.
Cicotcil ultli n Mighty Clii-cr.
It was half past 1 o'clock when a mighty
chocr from the eager crowd assembled in the
pattering rain outside llio" opera house an
nounced that Governor McKlulov had ap
peared In sight. Stopping to the bnlconv ,
under the escort of Chairman ( iovvttv of the
state committee und others , Governor Mc-
Illntoy was inlroduced to Iho audlouco by
Charles L. Henry , candidate for congress ,
nnd another scene of enthusiasm followed ,
In substance , Governor Mulvlnley spoke us
follows :
" \U Fnt.i.ow CITIJXXS : It will bo unjust
'o ' you to attempt to mnko a speech in this
drenching rain , and therefore I propose to
content myself with simply appearing before
you and to express the pleasure I huvo had
in tbu meeting of so manv republicans of In
diana on this niost disagreeable day , which
is an evidence of the zeal nnd tldelity which
you and the republican nirtyshnw. Now ,
what wo want in this country , whether wo
bo democrats or whether wo bo republicans ,
what wo all want Is good citizens , good
money , coed nui-kets , sloady employment
and good wu * os. | Applause. | And wo have
everyone of thorn today in u greater degree
than any other country of the world , und wo
have got tLoni because and by reason of the
tepubllcun party and Its pollcios.
"Now , I want onlv , to say let Indiana dons
she did in 1SS8 [ cries of 'Wo will do it ;
wo will do lt.'J I am glad to hear you reply
wilh ono voice , you will do It , and I bellevo it.
Give President Harrison vour electoral vote
aud bo will bo president lor the next four
year * . " [ Great applause. |
At the conclusion of Governor MoKmtoy's
speecn , Governor Chase of Indiana , also a
oandidilo for ro-clectloa , was introduced and
spoke brio My.
Uiivcrno" MclUnloy's Spocch.
Governor McICInloy now entered the opera
house , which was crowded to tbo utmost , and
being Introduced by Hon. Charles L. Henry
made ibe principal speech of Iho day.
"Mr. President and ray fellow citizens , "
said Governor McKlnloy , "I am hero today
by Invitation of your sidle oxccuiivo commll-
lee to spoau for a little while upon tbo Issues
involved In the campaign wblch Is now upon
us , and to glvo such reasons as I can why the
republican parly and tbo republican policies
should trijmph In November.
"All agree" that the issue which is com
manding the most attention , and which is
mnst upon the minds of iho people , is the
question of tariff , f Applause. ) It requires
in this country a little more than $ IUOOOUOU ( )
every year to meet Iho currant obligations of
the government. A million of dollars must
bo raised every twenty-four hours , now
there nro two kinds of turlff , ono a pio-
tccttvo tariff , advocated by the tepubllcnn
party. The ether is tariff for revenue only ,
udvocutod by the democratic partv. Either
Ibo protective or thn revenue tariff will
provide the money requisite for public pur
poses. But a roTonua turlff , wbu'h includes
every other consideration , but rovncuo for
employment. It turns a deaf ear to the la
borer nnd wage Industries of tbo country. "
In th Uuttery Inilmlrj- .
Continuing. Iho speaker argued to show
Unit , the tariff on pottery had built up the
most gplondld pottery industries , giving em
ployment to thousands of laborers and at Iho
same time giving the people cheaper nnd
bettor pottery und crockery than they ever
had befoic. There was not an article of
hardware , not an article ot wool or cotton ,
not un article of Iron , glass or pottery tluH
hud not bucn cheapened by American mtinu-
fucturc1 , made poisiblo by tno protective
tariff. The protective tariff was not
u burden. There was nor. r. consumer who
knew from personal experience that there
wub a tnnd on wares and gooilx ho pur
chased. "Tho democrats anyho said ,
"that under protection this nnd lhat cannot
bu inauc. Thjy said tin platu could not bo
miidc , bill It WAS made right In Elwnod. The
fttct was at Ihc name time the proof of iho
utility of the tariff and Its Justillcalion.1'
Tao remainder of Governor McKinloj'.s
speech was devoted to n review of the repub
lican tariff law und its effect upon thu com
merce ami maun factories of , ho country.
Al the conclusion of Ibis speech a visit
was made to tbo tin plalo factory aud ibo
nioceas of manufacturing li'i plate was ex
hibited lo tno visitor * . Governor McICInloy
was nualn called upon and made n brlo'f
speech on iho object lesson of the day.
During tbo whole ot the afternoon men
nnd uoys passed around amontr the crowd
and distributed copies of the following bund
bills :
"Tin Plalo Stock For Sale Several shares
of American tin ulato slock for sale ut a dis
count. Applv to the undersigned slock-
holders : O. K , Lucii , G. Hunp , F. M. Har
bin. H. F. Wllkle , E. F. Woodin. "
Tno dialrlbullon of these doJgors created
consldarublooxclloinanl and was denounced
as a democratic scheme to discredit the oxer-
cUcs of tbo day.

bic Special lo TUB But' . Tlin HoraUl's or-
llclo on cholera ibocututlon has orontd qdito
n stir. As 1 snt with Dr. Hoff kino today , Dr.
Houx cnmo In , bursting with excitement , sayIng -
Ing bo bad boon literally besieged by news
paper men wanting to know thotrulh of your
correspondent's story , nnd the details. The
mlstako all made wa In going to Dr. Honx ,
Instead of lo tbo Russian savant. Dr. Houx
strongly resists any publicity , and moreover
is oxccedlng spare of words. Dr. Hoffinno
Is the discoverer of the virus In conjunction
with Or. Pasteur. Ho Is a clear , explicit
spenicor on the subject which lie has made
his own. Ha Is the bacteriologisl who makes
up the virus , ultends lo the details , examines
the microbes , etc. Dr. H'jux merely per
forms the operation , ns it Is necessary that
it should bo done by a mndlc'il ' praclloner.
As/Dr. Houx bus given his opinions of tbo
efllcaoy of the virus and the losts which the
Herald's ' correspondent will make , It may bo
more Interesting to hoar Dr. Iloffkine's opin
ion. Ho says the test * , if mio In tbo man
ner proposed by the correspondent , would beef
of Immense selentillo vuluo.
Tucldo tlio Pliiuni ! In Kiirncst.
Now It may bo explained mat the pionosul
made by Hie correspondent Is to live us nearly
as possible In Iho uiulst of cholera patients ,
to oat with them , to sleep with them , and
many other tests , tlio dolails. ol which , out
of respect to unscientific readers , it is best
to leave unmciuloncd , as out of delicacy the
correspondent loft unmentioned in his report
some of the symptoms ho experienced. It
will suftlco to say ibo idea Is to breathe con
tinuously , and oven cat , cholera microbes , to
live with these contaminated with cholera
vaccine , nr.d to digest these microbes.
1 asked Dr. HolTuino what ho thought of
the scheme. His reply was thnt such n test
would be an Immense moral victory if not a
mathoniatlcil one , but bo llrmlv believes In
the re.slstlnc power of Iho virus. This
coincides with whut M. Pasteur had slid. *
"Suppose the correspondent dies that
will prove something ! " 1 asked.
"Yes , n great deal , but It will by no means
prove the failure of tbo vaccine ; but It will
show mat we have not yet discovered the rlglil
quantity of virus for an injection. In that it
will bu of great use to science. "
"Suppose bo took the pest tnildlyj"
' Thai also would bo a very valuable proof ,
and if his noted were minutely and carefully
kept they would be highly valuable. They
would indicate to us how far this virus in
oculation .vas , effective. Wo consider at
present tbreo days long enough for the virus
to do Its work. Thai Is another point which
death would bo useful In disproving. "
'
"And If the correspondent survives ! "
"That would be n victory a moral ono if
the correspondent has the courage nnd op
portunity to carry out the tests ho proposes. "
The Herald's correspondent was again in
oculated yesterday at half past 12. Dr. H.
C. M. Page , the well known Now York
physician , was ono of the most interested
spectators of ihe cholera inooulalion at Iho
Pasteur institute today. The Herald's arti
cle bad brought him like the rest. Ho said :
r.mlor.tc-H tliu 1'lan Warmly.
"To stump out tbo dNoaso by moans
of inoculation \\ith attenuated vitus
Is an all-important subject. Tne
Idea Is not entirely new. In August ,
1831 , 1 Ilrst had Ibo honor of hearing the
mailer discussed by Dr. Pasteur at the inter
national medical congress in London. As a
result of his paper there bavo been various
attempts , bui It begins to look as though Dr.
Hoffklnc would curry off the prlzi. Ho
prepares the virus with iho utmost care
in a manner that reduces all risks
to a minimum. Tbura is uothlng particular
about the syringe or tbo preparation of the
dose lo bo injected which Is not well under
stood by careful , well Informed physicians.
The fact lhal Dr. Pasteur approves this
method after f > overal years of observation
would seem to pluco the matter beyond rea
sonable doubt. Altogether I have great hope
of tno Hoffklno-Pastour method , nnd bellevo
It will prove a great bonellt to mankind. "
