cholera cases this in.-.rtiln ? . Up till yester
day evening there had boon thirty-ono cases
of sickness from the dlsonso and eight deaths
In this port , The stokers on the Nor
mannia this morning seem to bo the
greatest sufferers. Eight of the crew
of that vessel wcro transferred yesterday
nftornoou to Swlnburn island. These men
had only the day before been taken back to
the ship after a twelve hours stav on Iloff *
man Island , where they had boon disinfected
with all posslolo thoroughness , ulor.fr with
500 others. They were taken back to the
ihlp apparently In excellent health. The
Sectors will not admlt'posltlvoly that these
eight patients have cholera , uor will they
deny it.
Secretary Foster says Dr. Hamilton and
Dr. Jenkins will Inspect Sandy Hook tomor
row with n view to selecting a site for a
camp of refuge for the coopnj-up cabin pas
sengers of the steamships now detained lit

satlsfnUorv the secretary says the oarracks
will ho In shape to receive the passengers
by Friday nithl. The Heading railway will
extend its tracks to the camp to facilitate
the transportation of supplies. The secre
tary says a wealthy gdhlloman has offered
to tinacrtnko the construction of the camp
nnd meet all expense , taklni ? his chances of
coiling his money back from parties liable
therefor.
Dr. Cyrus Edsnn , sanitary superintendent ,
has received this dispatch from IJr. Scibcrt ,
who Is in nerlln on behalf of the Now York
Board of Health : "Berlin steams all arti
cles from Ili'.mburc ono hour. The highest
opinion is that all the rivers In northern
Europe nro infected , mid now outbreaks nro
expected. The new law will stop all Russian
immigration passing quarantine. Month
will bo Insn llldcnt to stamp out the disease.
The only cfllciont method for you in Amer
ica is to sloom Important bagirngo or oVhor
articles for at least an hour. They must bo
Mrumcd study , or clso Immlgralioti must bo
btoppod. The germs arc everywhere. No

Tbo Borough board of health has been
sent from Atlantic Highlands to protest
to Governor Abbott against the landing of
the pa.sseueors of the Infected ships at
Sandy llcok. The Borough has provided n
day a'nd night water and land patrol service
to that und.

that she sailed from Mobile early last month
for n Mexican port. The May Is n tramp
Btearacr mid is owned in London.
Sanitary Superintendent Dr. Cyrus Edson
received the following cable from Hamburg
from Dr. Selbort. who is studying cholera
there : ' 'Hamburg's ' methods in handling chol
era are defective. The city , however , has a
line hospital , which when full , accommodates
] ,100 ! patients. At present there are GOO
empty beds. The situation is exaggerated.
The disease is on thn decrease. "
The quarantine commissioners took down
today ICO suits of Jeans to bo used by the
men immigrants during fumigation , also , 100
mother bubbard wrappers to DO used by the
women.
Dllllnulty has been experienced in obtain-

Uratlty ol the situation.
The cholera situation at quarantine is no
doubt very giuvo. Not only are new cases
breaking out every day among the steorugo
passengers of iho ill-fated Normantuu and
Hugln , the former ot whom are on Hoffman
island , but it has now settled well mnomr the
crow of the big express steamer who are on
board.
ll anything cap bo added to the horror of
the situation , It Is the fact that the cabin
passengers who have been frco from miy
sign or disease tire Kept like rats | n a Imp ,
wilh the cholera raging alongside of them.
"No ship to put them on , " "No place
where I c.in land them , " says the health
ofllcor , while the agents , whoso duly it is- to
sco the passunirers cared for , sny nothing.
Dr. Jenkins has made slrenuous oxerllons to
obtain n place to put the well passengers ,
but up to the present bo has been unsuccess

The government has rofuscd.tho use of
Sandy Hook. Governor Flower tins taken
no nrtlon on Dr. Jenkins' request for posses

ble thus far to rent or buy a vessel.
As regards the situation at the lower
quarantine , thinirs are much worse , eleven
fresh cases and four deaths being iho day's
record , though ono of the deaths took place
at a verv late hour yesterday
Tbo upper bay looks far more emply than
it has for u long time , La Bourgogno , the
Citv of Now Yorlt and the Elbe having been
released.
At present the only vessels at upper quar

WAMIIXGTO.V , D. C. , Sept. 8. General
Grant , acting secretary of war , received a
telegram from Secretary Charles Foster ,
now in Now YorK , suggesting that tbo War
dcpattmcnt allow Sandy Hoolc to bo used as
a place of retreat tor tb quuranlli ed cabin
passcnu'crs of the Atlantic liners now in the
lower buy. A similar request was also sent
by Austin Corbln nnd by Agent Hoaz of the
Hamburu-Amorican lino.
General Grant took the request imme
diately unticr.consideration , bin will reach
noconcluslon lodny , Ho stated , however , thai
It was improbable that It would be grunted ,
owliiir , for n reason , to Iho fact that the gov
ernment had important gun ranees on the
Ilooliwhich would be greatly Interfered with
bv the presence of persons fi'om the slonmers.
Unlois the situation becomes so critical that
it Is regarded us absolutely necessary to hind
tlio detained passengers for better protection
agulnst the plfiiruo , it is hardly probable that
the Und will bo turned over to the health
authorities , but instead vessels will bj used
to receive passengers from those ships having
tbo disease aboard.

pears that the number ot cases nnd deaths In

being done to make tbo ofllcial ligurcs tally

These cases nnd deaths do not , of course ,
Include all thut occurred on the dates given ,

The exccutlvo council of tbo Nebraska
Columbian commission will hold a meeting nt
Omaha tomorrow for the purpose of complet
ing business left unfinished at the meetlnir
this week. The commission has decided to
make n special effort to convince the people
Interestei' ' in agriculture that the stale of
Nebraska Is particularly adapted to the cul
ture of winter wheat. ITlmt Nebraska is
destined to rival Kansas as n winter wheat
stale is not for an instant doubted by all who
have made tbo subject u matter of especial
study. Ur. ( jcorgoL. Miller's argument before -
fore the commission vesterduy nflornoon
was sufilcioiit to open the eyes of the inem-
oors of that body to theurgencv of including
a winter whoat.oxlubit m the Nebraska display -
play , and tbo commission bus already tnuen
steps lo make it one of tbo features of the
show.
Mr. A. B. Smith of the II. & M. freight
department lllod with the secretary of the
commission yesterday about litty loiters
that had becu received Irom as many cajn-
ties in Neoraskn in reply to n circular font
out from tha general oflicos of that company.
The circular stated bv way of Introduction
'
thut In 1SS ( ! Nebraska'had produced lOO.OUO-
Ul0 bushels of ccrn ; in Ib'JL her output ex
ceeded aifi.UIW.OOU bushels. In IbbC the wheat
crop was 1T.5UUOUU tmsncls and in IS'Jl ' , 18-
OSU.OUO bushels. From these figures it ap
pears that whlio thu cultivation of corn bus
increased in six years moro than 101) ) per
cent , tbo production of wheat has remained
about stationary.

Continuing , the circular states thut the in
tention ol Ihe commission is 10 have .1 portion
'
tion of the money appropriated lor 'Ne
braska's exhibit at the World's fair
set aside for the purpose of satisfy
ing visitors , whether from Nebraska or
the east , that this stnto is not simply a won
derful corn stale , hut ono that can produce
wheat equalling in quality mid quantity that
grown nnywhori ) on thn continent.
Aconls of Iho company were instructed to
confnrwllh the representative farmers in
their respective localities und collect data on
tbo following point. : The comparative
merils of sowing nnd planting by drill ; tbo
feasibility of planting corn on the name
ground in case the winter wheat crop proves
a failure ; tbo results of winter wheat raislnu
in the several purls of thu sluto ; the value
of the product at the stations.

counties. Letters were also received from

Mr. E. F. Stephen. * of Crete gave Ins ex
perience with winter wheat at length , and
his observations are entitled to the consider
ation of every agriculturist of the str.to.
This season ho harvested 4,1)50 ) bushels of
winter wheat from 100 acres , tuo cround
bavlnc bean carefully measured boforu plant
ing. This was mi uvoruso of \ \ \ ] bushoU
pur acre. The expenses of production , in-
cludiuu f-'t per aero for the use of the ground ,
amounted to K.r > 5 per aero , and lm net profit
was $11,43 per ucro. His wheat graded No.
1 hard and weighed ( ! l , ' j pounds to the
bushel. His method of cultivation was as
follows : "Our method is to plow us
curly O.H possible after removing thu crop , I
started my plows before I was done thresh-
in/ , und lurtahod out of tbo shock in the
Held , Bach day all that I had plowed
that day was thoroughly dragged twlco or
three times. I thou drug the ground about
once In ten days from that lime until I urn
ready to drill iu the seed , nna in that way 1
get in a sort of a summer tallow which neiuns
to assist in Increasing the yield of the land ,
In drilling I use a press drill und put it in
east and west about two inches deep. I am
sntUllod that to use a press drill on 100 acroa
will moro than pay for the drill each year ,
mid probably u good deal mon > . "
A concensus of the opinions furnished by
tbo agents of the railroad companv in dilfur-
ont purls ol thu dale go to show that the
farmers In ull purls of the stuto have re
cently tiiunn n now In term t in the matter of
raising winter wheat. From noarlv every
county comui advices that next year thonri'a
devoted to the culture of hurd wheat will
lie largely Increased if not doubled. The
question as to tbo relative merits of drilling
or sowing thu need soonia to bo pret'.y gener
ally Bollldd , The advocates of the drill are
overwhelmingly In the majority. In foot
the advocates of the plan ol simply sowing
the seed broadcast loom to. have been no ut

mi object of pity when ho loft tlio ring.

ought to huvn Uono , iitul the conquered gladl-
ntor followed. The crowd wtis still massed
thickly against the back of the reserved
sonts watchlnp ovor.v movement of the
bruised mid suffering champion-that-was ,
whoso body was covoroct with eoro , In the
ring mid who was too far gene to approointo
what had happened. His backers and seconds
ends wore a sorry lot us Ihoy gathered their
goods and chattels in the ooruor and plokod
their way to the dressing room.
.As Sullivan started out Churloy Johnson
uvoposed a uhoor for him , but it was not the
cliL'or that Corbott got.
"Well , t dou't want too much , " said the
defeated champion as ho stumbled to the
door of his room , "Corbott Is now the
greatest man lu the world and ho is the only
ono that could lick mo. "
Illubhttrud l.llto n Booby.
When the llttlo bodyguard got Into the
room , Sulltvnn throw himself on u lounge
und brnlco down entirely. Ills sclfcontrol
was gene and In n moment ho was blubbering *
like u child. There worn willing attendants
by his side , mid they went to work with a
will to cheer up the ox-champion , who waa
pttmblo In ' .ho ruin of his hopes and tlio sud
den halt In his caroor. In n llttlo while ho
was freshened up , but his spirits seemed to
1:0 down in the proportion of his recovery
from the beating hn received. Ills upper lip
was bruised ur.d swollen to twlco its natural
size. / There were blotches of red , raw as
moat , on his stomach , whrro Corbott bad
sent homo that clever , vicious loft , and the
nose was cut and bloody , . It wns a ropulslvo
fucc. The sneer around UID corner of the
mouth had gouo mid the countenance had
lost Its ferocity.
"I did not fool him but once , " ho blubbered ,
"Tlio punishment did not hurt ma ourly in
the light. It was onlv In the last round ill at
ho troubled mo. When ho smashed mo lu
the face , then I felt AS though I was falling1
backward Irani n bridge into wntorand after
that I ilon't remember miythiutr. "
Sorry Ills Itnclu-r Lost.
And the spell of crying came on.
" I'm backed and
"Charloy , sorry you me
lost vour money. " came through his lips. It
wis : n wall of distress , and Johnson felt sad.
"Never mind , John , " ho suld. "I don't
mind the money. Nobody cm lick you but
Corbott. and you are butter ttmn Mitchell.
When the Englishman wants to Hunt you ,
my money Is at hand. "
A waiter brought lofrcshmonts and the
champion of the past sipped u llttlo brandy.
It only loosened his tonuuo and mndo him
sob more. In ti half.ilnzed style , with hU
gre'at muscular arms hanging almost limp by
his sldo and his mouth open , n plcturo ot
misfortune , surely the sight , of Sullivan wna
enough to draw sympathy Irom the sharers
of bis loss. It was a study dt fallen grout-
ness.
ness.McAuliffo was sincere in tils sympathy and
ho triea to comfort the champion. Tho'oast-
crn lad hnd won his own , reat liirht and tils
money was on Sullivan. But McAuliffo Is a
gambler and gullied down his grief ,
"Why , John , you were beaten through
your own fault , " ho said consolingly. "You
ought never to have gene on the stage. You
can't ' bo an actor and lighter both. You have
been strutting across the stairo doing fancy
slugging and you'vo lost your grip. It can't
bo helped. "
Didn't Know Wlmt .struck Him.
Then they talked about the fight. Every
man had his own vluw ol It. Sullivan had n
vuriotv of opinions. Ono moment ho had
been whipped fairly and the next ho had not.
Wlillo the light was eolng on , and when Sul
livan came to his corner btoediuij , MoAullffo
had asked him how lie had notion the cut.
The irlovo could not liavo Jotio It , tuuy
thought , but of course It was the glove.
"Why , you've boon dead four years , John ,
and you didn't know it , " said ono ot the
partv. Sullivan would not admit that.
"No , I haven't , " ho said , and his voice wat
husky with emotion. "I am all rmht. The
trouble w.is with my legs , " ho kept on like u
child. "Tuo speed was not there. "
"Oh ilmt'fc nonsense , " said the big trainer
The teats ( lowed. To Charley Johnson they
were salt on n sore.
"Don't bo a boy , " said Johnson. "You
will bo my frionu and I will bo yours. INO-
body who was over your friend is any loss
"
your friend now. Yon bavo lost the "purso
und I have lost my money. "
"But I did not care for the purse , " protested -
tested Sullivan. "His not that what hurts
mo. It Is that I was licked by nbov. 1 don't
like that.1
Urltud by Cimtlriiiun ,
"Yos , but ho is a clever younc follow , "
was the retort. "No man can live forever.
The American people are with you as they
always have been. It was a fair light and a
gontlnman won it. Von have nothing to com-
pluln of. No man was over licked squarer
than you woro. John. Nobody bus any fault
to find wlth.you. You fought the best you
could. Hut you mot your Waterloo mid you
ought to give credit where It belongs. Lilo ,

And so Urn talk went on. While it contln-
uea President Noel came Into the room , anil
then sent out for Dr. Soetnan to examine the
ux-lilngof lighters.
The Sullivan party remained late at the
club , but a crowd hung at the doors until
Sullivan and his friends caujo out and look
