Karopa
»w York, Sept. 22.—Editor E. L.
riodkin, in a strong editorial which ap
pears in the Evening Poat demands
the removal of Health Officer Jenkins
on six charges, which Mr. Godkin says
he is ready to prove. The substance
of these is that Jenkins is inefficient,
that he is a bully, that he exceeded his
authority in sending the Normannia
passengers to Eire Island, that
in doing so hr exposed the passengers
of the Normannia to inhnman danger,
that he is generally all aronnd unfitted
for the place, and furthermore is a
cheap political nuisance. He thinks
Congress should look into the matter,
and concludes that if it does Jenkins
will t>e deposed. Mr. Godkin doesn't
say anything about Jenkins’ too-con
viviat habits. He probably doesn't
know about them.
The regular bulletin of the health
hoard said there was no cholera in
town. One suspect is being watched.
The Wyoming's cabin passengers at
Eire island are well and seem con
tented. The proposed demonstration on
the part of .Sheriff Darling of Suffolk
county, in support of the order of the
board of health of Istip to vacate Eire
island has not taken place yet. The
sheriff is still considering the subject
and conferring with the leaders of the
movement against the Eire island
inarantine station. There have been
no more deaths at Camp Ixiw since
Eranceseo Moreno succumbed to the
tiisease last night.
The presence of another fileet of
twenty vessels produced little interest
in official circles at upper quarantine
*s compared with the two deaths at
Camp Low. The charge that patients
have been sent to Sandy Hook with
in*. proper detention at Hoffman is
land, after having been transferred
from Swinburne “suspect wards” as
safely past the incubation period, is
indignantly denied.
The Hamburg steamer nermann and
the White Star steamer Adriatic, the
former with 800 and the latter with 8,r>0
tteerage, which arrived yesterday
curne under the twenty-day rule and
will, after examination, be released
only upon permission from Washing
ton through Collector Hendricks.
Dr. Wilson, of 90 Park street, re
ported to-day that a Chinese named
I'pe Joe Wah had died at 14 Mott
street under suspicious circumstances.
Dr. Roberts, of the bureau of conta
gious diseases, had the case investi
gated. The body was removed and
the premises were quarantined and
fumigated. The man had been sick
but two days and had been afflicted
with a painless diarrhea. Dr. Wilson
had been called in but a few minutes
when he died. The Chinese who knew
him say he smoked opium all the time.
The stock in the fruit store was con
fiscated.
Dr. Roberts of the board of health
informed a reporter that the condition
of Louis Weinhagen, who was re
moved from 14 First street as a cholera
suspect, is critical.
The cholera scare is seriously hurt
ing the business of all the transat
lantic osteamship companies. The
Trave, of the North German Lloyd
line sailed yesterday. She carried but
forty-six passengers. The Fuerst Bis
marck of the Hamburg-American
Packet company also sailed yesterday.
She carried only two passengers.
WARRANT OUT FOR PECK.

Albany, Sept "4.—When the court
of Sessions for Albany county met yes
terday there was an expectant throng
to see Labor Commissioner Peck ar
raigned. He did not appear, however,
not having arrived in the city. At 11
o’clock District Attorney Eaton practic
ally admitcd that the sealed and yet un
opened Indictment was against Mr. Peck
by asking the court to issue a bench
warrant for Mr. Peck, whom he be
lieved to be in town. The coart
granted the request, but Mr. Peck has
not been seen in the city, although his
counsel, Mr. Meegan, said he expected
him.
District Attorney Eaton said this
morning: “The statement that I have
tried to get Mr. Peck in jail is untrue.
I have given him warning of every
move and, in fact, have kept him out
of jail by warning him to obtain bail.”

Ai.baxt, Sept. 22.—All the employes
: of the labor commissioner’» bureau
; were subpoenaed to appear before the
grand jury yesterday in riew of the
beginning of criminal proceedings
against Charles F. Peck on the charge of
; destroying public documents. Theem
1 ploy es were examined as to .the sending
| out of blanks to manufacturers, the
; reception of them and the present
I whereabouts of the originals. On be
1 half of the prosecution evidence was
| presented to show that Hr.
Peck (had destroyed at least a
portion of the returns. To prove
this there was presented in eri
I dence the half-destroyed remnants of
! s large number of blanks printed on
I paper of a bluish tint and containing
; the written names and addresses of
! manufacturers in the State. The char
| red remnants also showed that they
i were issued under the seal of the labor
| bureau and that the questions asked
j were answered.
Commissioner Peck himself has not
yet come back to the city and so could
'■ not be subpoenaed. It is intimated,
! however, that he will be brought be
| fore the jury to-morrow morning. Mr.
| Peck is quoted to-day for the first time
a.f making open and absolute denial
that the individual papers received
from manufacturers were destroyed.

Topeka, Kan., Sept. C3.—A fright
ful wreck occurred on the Santa Fe
railroad a few miles west of Osage City
at 8 o’clock yesterday. The cars
were ditched by train robbers, and
four of the train crew were killed and
about twenty-five passengers seriously
injured. The train was the Missouri
Kiver express, east-bound, and due in
this city at 4:45 o’clock. It consisted
of a baggage and express car,
four coaches and three Fullman sleep
ing cars. The coaches and sleeping
cars were well filled with passengers,
nearly all of whom were asleep when
the accident occurred. The train was
ditched by obstructions placed on the
rails and it rolled down a steep em
bankment. The day coaches in the
forward part of the train were tele
scoped and it was in these coaches that
most of the injured passengers were
located.
The following are the killed.

City: slightly bruised.
Postal Clerks J. B. Oberlin and J\ F. Wad
dell of Kansas City; slight bruises on hips
and hack.
Mrs. IL Nelson, Mexico; slightly hurt on
back and side.
The train was the Missouri River
night express from Denver and San
Franciso. In the express car was
about $1,000,000 which was being
shipped by the Mexican Central rail
road company through to its general
offices in Boston. The object of the
wreckers was not accomplished owing
to the manner in which the express
car was buried by the coaches that
were piled upon it in general con
fusion, So high was the wreckage
heaped that it was literally impossible
to find the locomotive, let alone the
treasure box.
There were 850 passengers on the
train, but not one was killed. How
they escaped seems miraculous. The
cars were piled one on another and
made a mass of lumber and twisted
iron in which it seemed impossible for
any being to have escaped death.
When the work of rescue was com
pleted, however, all the passengers
were found to be alive, though several
were badly injured.
The Santa Fe officials have offered a
reward of SI,000 each for the arrest of
the wreckers, but even before the
officials had offered the reward several
posses from Barclay and Dodge City
had started in all directions to run
down the wreckers. Detectives in the
employ of the railway and express
companies joined the search later. The
horrible nature of the crime has ex
cited the people to a frenzy, and the
wreckers, if caught, will doubtless be
hanged.

Washington. Sep*. 23.—The sec
ond day of (be national encampment
of the Grand Army of the He public
began at 9 o'clock thio morning a*
Aibaogh's opera house. The firat
business in order »ai the report of
the committee to determine the ques
i tion of aeniority of department*. The
I controversy affects only the state* of
Illinois and Wisconsin, neither of
which is in possession of a charter,
past Commander Wagner of Pennsyl
vania, chairman of the committee, re
ported, recommending the appoint
ment of a new committee, hut tne
I matter was left open after considerable
discussion.
The report of the committee to
which was referred the adjutant gen
eral'* report w** pretented. The re
port recommended the adoption of the
recommendation, that the installing
officer of a post should make the an
nual inspection and that the per capita
tax for grand encampment purposes
be limited to 21 cent.
Then came the report of the com
mittee on rule* and regulation*. The
suggestion of the Departments of Mis
souri, Oregon and of the Potomac that
"no person be entitled to wear the
bade or button of the Grand Arm}' of
the Republic unless a member in good
standing of the Grand Army of the
Republic'’ was recommended. 'lhe
committee recommended that ap
peals from the decision of post com
mander* and post* be made within four
months from the time they are ren
dered. ana that appeals in ail other
cases be made within six months. Tne
committee reDortea adversely unon
the recommendation of the adjutant
general that the rules and regulations
be revised. All these recommenda
tion* were adopted. In connection
with the report the question of life
membership in the national encamp
ment came up. The Department of
Ohio recommended that past national
and state commanders be given seals
as honorary members without votes.
The majority of the committee report
ed adversely on this proposition.
Comrade Pniiiips of Ohio dissented
from the view of the majority. It had
been expected that this question wouid
cause considerable discussion, but the
position of the Ohio department found
but few supporters. The report of the
committee was adopted by an over
whelming majority.
When the order for election of offi
cers was announced Colonel C. I\ Lin
coln of the Department of the Poto
mac. who bad been prominently named
as a candidate for the office of com
mander-in chief, addressed the en
campment withdrawing his name as a
candidate. He said that he had as
surances from over 400 of the dele
gates that they wouid support him.
and he thought he had a right to
aspire to the position. But recogniz
ing the sentiment of the encampment
in favor of General A. G. Weiss’art of
Milwaukee. Wis., he was perfectly
willing to step aside, and he asiced
that the election of General Weissart
be made unanimous. Colonel Lincoln
said he was not a believer in the slid
ing scale, and that, therefore, his
name would not be used in connection
with the office of senior vice com
mauder.
Past Lommanaer Kimball of Massa
chusetts moved that General Weissart
be declared elected oy acclamation,
but that was held to be out of order.
General Weissart was then formally
placed in nomination by Benjamin F.
Bryant of LaCrosse, past commander
of the department.of Wisconsin, who
performed the same service for Gen
eral Weissart at the encampment at
Detroit last year. General S. H. Hurst
of Ohio was also named for the posi
tion and the roil call was begun. Be
fore it had proceeded very far, how
ever, the name of General Hurst was
withdrawn, whereupon General Weis
sart’s election was effected by acclama
tion. The general came forward and
tendered his thanks to the encamp,
mentfor the honor bestowed upon him.
The election of a senior vice com
mander brought into prominent view
the factional fight that has raged
within the ranks of the Department of
the Potomac the last year.' This con
troversy involved the continuance of
of iife membership in tne national en
campment. the troubles of the
W oman’s Belief Corps in the District
of Columbia and. incidentally, the
continued existence of the custom bv
wnich the office of senior vice com",
manner was given by courtesy to lhe
aepartment entertaining the enoamu
ment. Coionel Lincoln's friends fa
vored the abolition of the latter cus
tom and the friends of Captain J. M.
Pipes, who has secured from the de
partment an instruction to delegates
from the department to supoort him
for tne position of senior vice com
manner, aesired its continuance.
Past Commander Wagner of Penn
sylvania moved that R. H. Warfield of
ban r ran cisco be elected senior vice
commander. The motion was second
ea by Colonel Lincoln and by Catnain
Pipes—the latter stating that he' had
oeen endorsed for the position bv a
majority of the department to which
he belonged. Past Commander Wag.
ner s motion was adopted and Warfield
Qeclared elected senior vice comman
aer. This breaks the line of prece
aents extending over a ueriod of ten

TROUBLE FEARED.
Concord Ordered to Colon to Prot«l
American Inters.to.
> Washington,Sept. 24.—The epidemie
of revolutions in South and Centra
America is spreading'. The Republic
of Colombia is now in danger. Word
has reached the State department that
serious trouble is brewing in conse
quence of the quarantine established
against European and American ves
sels. The trouble commenced by
the action of the authorities at
Savarilla in firing on the British mai,
steamship Atralo as a warning to keep
out of the port. The British residents
have resented this action, and other
foreigners, especially merchants, are
complaining bitterly of the action of
the Panama authorities in closing all
ports against European and American
vessels. Bqiiness is said to be com
pletely paralyzed, and general discon
tent prevails as a result. The Ameri
can Consul at Colon has advertised
that the American vessel be sent there
as a means of preventing trouble and |
to protect American interests should
the necessity arise. The Concord has
accordingly been dispatched from La
Cruayra, Venezuela.
