At 1 o'clock this morning Dr. Jenkins had been sleeping forever over an hour and a half when the telegraph operator called him to deliver a message from the long awaited Scandlu , which was expected in momentarily. Uoportors had been standing around waiting for him , hop ing against hope to got news of the safe arrival of the Scandla , which had left the plague stricken port of Ham burg on August 27 , loaded with l.OSO touls. She had the enormous number of 031 steerage , twonty-sovon cabin and seventy- seven members ot her crtw. Before she had been many days out Iho cholera had oroKon out , and before sbo arrived the pest was fairly raging on board of her , thtrty-nlno cases occurring in half n week. Of these thirty-two succumbed before she arrived ftt ftho lower quarantine anchorage. Consigned to the Duop , Ono by one. by couples and by threes the bodies of the unfortunate victims were dropped overboard. Dr. Byron boarded all the vessels at mid night. Ho found all well on board the Nor- jnnnnln , the Kugia , Moravia and Wyoming , but when ho reached the Scandla ho found this tnrriblo tale of disaster and trouble. Thirty-two deaths had taken place , of which twonty-nino were in the steerage , Iwo in the crow and ouo in the nbln. There were htlll seven virulent cases en board and these Dr. Byron removed to Swlnburn island. The Scandla Is the first 'rossol to urrlvo thoroughly Infected with cholera. The Moravia , Hugla and Nor- Biannla had brought it In their steerages , and in the case of tan latter it had worked Tjoioni ? the crow.

As though the Scandm was not enough for one night , another horror was added to the situation. Yesterday the Wyoming was the only one on the suspect list. Now , at 2 In the mornlnp , she can bo classed as a cholera ship. Mrs. Person , the mother of the two Uttlo children , Ellas and Adelaide , who died yesterday of a suspicious disease , bas herself succumbed to iho dread disease. She with three moro were removed from the Wyoming during Iho late forenoon yesterday. They woroplnccd in the hospital nnd Mrs. Person died during the night.

At Saranao the president wus the guest of L. W. FIsnor. At noon ho delivered an address - dross to the people of the town , very briefly , in tlio public square. Ho thanked the people for the cordiality of bis reception. Ho would not , he said , attempt to discuss public ques tions or to say moro to his hearers than that they could not oscnpo the responsibility as American citizens , and It was well worth the whllo of each to think what contribution ho can make to the peace and happiness ot his neighborhood aud to the glory of this great nation. Before leaving this morning tbo president \vas advised tbat It was desirable to use a portion of the Sandy Hook reservation as a camp for detained passengers of vessels quarantined In Now ork harbor. Later , on tno receipt of tclcgrnmi from the secretaries of the navy mid treasury , ho sent this : To TUB AcriNd BKCIICTAHV 01W.tlt : In view ot representations made by Siorotarli'u Kostor nnd Tnu'v I desire ih it a siilllulout iiorllun of tlio rusurvatlon ttlSundy Hook bo hot apart fur HBO as u camp for niiarantlliDil steamship p-'bsongors. llKNJAMin HAIUIIHUN.

" There Is no dou'A , however , that the n : w addition to tbo cholera ( loot has increased the gravity of affairs existing nt quar antine , nnd that Iho already over taxed quarantlno ofllccrs have moro ban they can well do in lighting the cholera off our coasts , But nobody has lost heart , and the belief thnt the scourge will bo driven jack is strengthened instead of weakened ns .bo days go by and no cases of cholera appear In Now York. This feeling of security arises from the fact that uvury day draws us nearer to cold weather , and that tbo city In getting cleaner nnd cleaner every day , nnd that health fortifications are erected everywhere.

The Herald pub lishes the following interview with Dr. Jenk ins : When Dr. Jenkins dropped into an easy chair in his ofllco and consented to an Inter view , it was after 9 o'clock last night. I asked him abo'ut the appeal of the Norman- nla's passengers to Governor Flower. Ho laughodius I read the appeal aloud to him. paragraph by paragraph. "What nousons ; ' How ridiculous 1 That's B'lleweioV l3- d'mpbatioeommonts' listened , and not ouo of the counts the least disturbed him. He said : "In n general way , I will say that the gen tlemen who bavo drawn up and signed this appeal excellent people no doubt nro en tirely mistaken in their assertions. Tbey huvo not been neglected , we are not incom petent nnd the situation on the Normannla. is not at all what they declare it to be. You can sum Iho whole thinn up in a nutshell by saying tbat these cabin passengers want vo'ry much to got us here nnd write accord ingly. " "But , doctor , they make nosltivo and de tailed statements , for instance , that the dead bodies of cholera patients bavo been left on the Pteamor for twenty-tour hours or more. " "And 1 make n positive statement that such is not the case. I have not known of u dead body being loft for that length of time on the Normannla have you Dr. Tul- macol" "No , sir. ' ' was the deputy ofllcer's prompt reply. 'They say that the steamer has not boon properly fumigated. " "That is silly. Whv , wo have done noth ing but funiinato and disinfect th''so steam ers over since they arrived. It I * true that certain portions of this work ordered we-'O lelt to bo carried out by tbo olllcors of tbo steamer. Wo cannot be everywhere at the same time , and the Normannla people must not Imagine tbat theirs is the only ship in the buy. Possibly on one or two occasions there lias boon a luclc of disinfectants on the strainer. I uollcvo that Is a tact , but it is not my fault. Wo huvo issued instructions to send disinfectants to the bliipi In sufficient quantities. I can't take the blame If they will not do what I toll them. " "Do you moan'that Ills tbo business of the stcauishlps to furnish disinfectants t" "I understand it so , but I would add that In view of tno importanceof the matter I have myself repeatedly sent disinfectants on board. Dr. Wulscn took enough blcUlorido or mercury to the Normannla the other day to disinfect a dozen btoatnorj. isn't ' that so , doctor ! " "It certainly Is , " said the Now Brighton physician , who Is n cholera veteran , "I would say after a thorough visitation and inspec tion ol the Normnnnla that tills complaint or appeal Is absolutely without justlllcation.1 "And how absurd it Is for them to pretend tend tbat they have not boon in communica tion with a medical export , " continued Dr. Jenkins. ' 'Dr. Sunborn , who has boon n quarantine olllclal for years , has been aboard the Normannla several times a day , and is now stationed tbcru permanently day and night. Besides that , from the first , full In structions were given to the ship's surgeon for any emergencies which might arlso. " "Ho'w about the water ! " ' The captain of the Normannla Immediate ly on his arrhul received positive orders to boll his entire supply of drinking water so tbat it might have boon used with impunity whether it cnino from the rlvor Elbe or any- rVhoro olso. Furthermore , the Hamburg- .American company was ordered to send n "regular supply of water to tholr ships. In this respeut again they have , I believe , failed in tbulr duty. " "Thou you admit that the Normannin , and pcrhana the other steamers also , may have been Insutllciontly supplied with drinking water I" "it U quite possible , but it Is the com pany's fault , not mlno. I have felt the urgency of the matter co keenly that several times , although It is quito out of my jurisdic tion , 1 have sent supplies of water down to these steamers from my own reservoirs hereon on Staten Uland and In my own tug , the Manhattan.

Three steamers were released from quarantine this after noon , the health oftlrora h wing boon con vinced that no sickness occurred ou the ves sels during liio voyuiro to this port and a vigorous medical examination on tholr ar rival hnro showing not thu slightest trace of tno dreaded cholera or any choierMo dis order whatever. To romior assurance doubly sure , however , oaoh ot tbosa vessels hud to undercn a thorough courio of fumiga tion and aUu'ifiction , and ovcrv porion on bourd wus put In such hhapo that It wus practicably Impossible for thorn to conx-oy sny contagion to this city. Tbo flrit of the&o steamers to sail from quarantlno was the Brlttiinlc of the Whlto Star line , from Liverpool , which left the place she had occupied in the lower bay nt 4 p. m. About nn hour later the British steamer Jnsooh John , Ciptain Miller , from the cholera Infected port of Hamburg , steamed toward the city , "followed ton min utes later by the Dutch Steamer Xiadam , from Antwerp , which arrived nt midnight last night. Mr. Boaz of tha Hamburg-American Steamship , line says that a number of the Normannlu's passengers , who nro physicians , were appointed by the other physicians ns a committee to order wnat was necessary in the way of food , to bo brought down from Now York , The committee , Mr. Boaz says , ordered that the n mongers should bo planed on a plain and simple diet whllo they were held aboard the steamer. Immigration Agents Anxious. The Immigration nzcnts In this city whoso business It Is to forward now arrivals nt this port to thplr various destinations , nro much dtstutbed over the nnnouncmnoat made by the llllr'ols Stnto 'Board of Health refusing admission to all immigrants lilto tbat state unless they bear cortlllcatos from tlio health ofllcials of the port of Now York that they nro frco from disease and that tholr baggage and belonging * bavo bson thoroughly disin fected. Commissioner Farmer recently noti fied Mr. Thomas Faulkner , the ngont for the pool railroads , staliuned on Ellis Island , of this refusal. A consultation with Colonel Webber was the result. Yesterday Colonel Webber wrote to Mr. Faulkner ns to the practi cability ol isauinc certificates ot health to each emigrant leaving. The latter suggested that the Illinois Board of Health docs not clearly understand the status of the Island nnd its health ofllclnls with regard to quarantine or tbo process which immigrants and tholr baggage are subjected to by the quarantine ofllolnls. The letter also explains that all questions of contagious diseases are decided at quarantine. Colonel Weber con cludes by saying : "It Is not passible for our surgeons to Issue the cjrtlflcatea required according to the clrculir fro.n the Illinois Board of Health. They would not certify truthfully that the baggage of the emigrants had been thoroughly disinfected and con tained uo disease germs , or that the imnii- gradt had no disease lurking In his system. ' ' Itouril ot Health UlltU'tlll. rho board of health issued Iho following bulletin nt 4 o'clock this afternoon : "No eases of cholera In this city toilav.

" The steamships which loft for Europe today all sailed with very small lists of cabin nnd steerage passengers. The North German Liloyd steamer Fulda , which sailed for Genoa and Gibraltar , carried fifty cabin passengers. The Cunard steamer Uuiorln , which loft for Liverpool , carried 100 cabin passengers.

Canadian .Sjilrs tn the City. One of the most Important and interesting features of the quarantine against cholera at this port developed when a reporter ascer tained that since Monday last , two secret representatives of the Canadian government bavo been in tbs city and .have visited quar antlno stations dally for the purpoie of keep ing the health oflloers of that government fully Informed as to what was being done by tbo authorities hero to prevent the cholera from entering this city. Upon the report of tbo iiccrot agents , it is said , dopruds the question whether the Canadian govo rnment will establish a complete rigid quarantine by water and rail against Now York. The es- tnDlishmcnt of such a quurantlnoagalust tUis cit > Is of great Interest to merchants , as the result would uua great loss to all commer cial Interests. It is Impossible to learn whether the reports of the secret agents were favorable. Action u ) tlio Chnmbor of Commerce. The medical advisory committee , which was requested by the special committee of the Chamber of Commerce to co operate with the health ofllcora at quarantine , mot this afternoon at Columbus college.

[ Copjrluhted IS'J2 by NCIT York Associated Presi.L BUIILI.V , Sept. 10. The Bdrlin authorities consider that the fovelen press exaggerates the condition of nlTairs in Hamburg. Cholera s bid enough in the \ > ooror and old quarters of the city , but the jmlJdlo and upper class roiidouts would notj have known of the ex istence of the epidemic except for the information mation gleaned through the newspapers. If the view that Hamburg is post-polluted throughout its bounds could have been jus tided , the luiporlallboard of health would have nssontod to the su ggostlon of the alarm ists to Isolate tbo city and its suburbs and Interdict all communica tion with them. The ministers , however - over , took special advice of Prof. Virchoiv , Prof. Koch ana other authorities , and arrived at the conclusion tbat n rigorous system of surveillance would be sufficient protection. A largo'number of fuirlllvo fam ilics from Hamburg have now sought shultor at Stralsund , Restock aud other places In Mecklonburg-Schwerlu and the disease is al most unknown amonv them. Many of these families have Just reason to complain of the nrultrary and Illegal measures taken by the petty local authorities In trying to debar them from admission to hotels and lodging houses. Tbo Imperial' board of health has sent Instruction to tho' local authorities with a view to rostrainingJthoTmon from adopting immoderate measures. ? Stnnil Taken .by the Socialist * . A debate of the Berlin municipal onlccrs on the proposition to vote 300,001) ) murks for ontl-cho'cra sanitation was the occasion for the development of their party program by the socialists inornbcra. Ur. Zeadok declared that temporary reliefsuch , , as the appropria tion of SJJ.OOO marks , however desirable it might bo , could not .bo held as permanent se curity ugainst an epidemic. If the present sc.iro stimulated tSo _ energies of tbo muni cipal authorities tj an llqrato the condition of the working classfvith respect to food and houses , It wowp bo a bl033ing in' dis guise. The sodljllsW' contended that the siuitar'ylVaiflbt-lan'cortiud : hospital services ought to bo placed' under the control of the municipality , aud that the poor ought nut to bo loft to tin moray of occasional charity. Dr. Zcaduk's remarks elicited strong expres sions of both approval nod dissent. Upon the whole the socialists scored a hit through the effect of their arguments upon the public outsldo tbo council. llorlln la Not Alitrniod. Count von Eulenburg , Prussian minister of the interior , to whom the municipal au thorities appealed for permission to cremate tbe bodies of cholera victims , bas given his assent to the cremation of bodies when an autopsy absolutely proves that death ic- sulted from cholera. Not a slnglo case requiring quiring cremation has occurred bora sluco the minister's assent was given. As a mat ter of fact , Berlin Is remarkably healthy. A sanitary commlbalou is preparing a report showing that tbu city is frco rrorj choleraic disorders and that the chances of cholera be coming epidemic hero arp very remote. Among the public hero tbo scare has uttony vanished. Even the hotels have now ceased to reject guests from Hamburg. A panicky feeling , however , continues to prevail - vail in the rural districts. An Instance of this tccllng is given at Alt-Huppln , a town of Prussia , where n volunteer corps has been organized to guard the approaches to the town and to keep strangers out until they have been subjected , to a week's quarantine. The town of Pine Is similarly conditioned and has shut Itself off from all communica tion with visitors , oven from adjoining dis tricts. ' Ilumuurc's rinnncliil I.ODH. Business reports from Hamburg grow worso. It is estimated that the llnanciul and commercial losses there ulrcaay reach a tola of 200,000,000 marks. The disclosures of tbo terrible unsanitary state of the city and Us tuburbj huvo raised the question as to whether the Hamburg senate ought not to bo deprived of Its administration - ministration of affairs and tbo Prussian gov ernment assume control. Prince Blsmurclc's people at Prlodrlchs- ruac , wbo drew tholr supnlios from Ham burg , have been in a condition bordering on a stnto of siege blnce the outbreak of the dis ease In Hamburg , All connection with the city has coon cut off and supplies nro now taken to thorn from I jrlln.

[ CopyrlKlitcd 1892 by Jnraoi Gordon Dennett. ] L.ONDO.V , Sept. 10. fNow York Herald Cable Snecial to Tiic BEE. | In ofllclal circles tbo rumors of a speedy evacuation of Egypt by the British nro received with amusement. Tbo question has not oven como under the consideration of the now ministry , and Lord Hoscbory certainly will not take upon himself the responsibility of deciding anything in tbo absence of Mr. Gladstone 'and his colleagues. It Is not a matter Hint can bo arranged In correspondence between Hawarden castle and Downing street. More over , Mr. Gladstone has never expressed himself In favor of the clearing out of Egypt suddenly or In has to. . Ho admitted that the work of reorganizing the finances of tnc gov ernment of tbat country cannot bo broken offer or loft whcro it Is. Any Immediate stops , tborcforo , In tbo direction of withdrawing the troops are not to ba looked for. Tbo neutralization of Egypt may again coma up for discussion whoa the cabinet meets , but it must bo remembered when Mr. Glndstono was last in power , In August , 188 : ! , that ho Instructed Lord Granvfllo to wrlto to Lord DufTonn , then tbo British repre sentative at Constantinople , approving his Informing tbo sultan that Ibo neutralization of iho sucz canal was a "principle which tbo British government wonld never subscribe to. " Ho may have changed tils mind since then , but bo has not said so , Therefore wo have no reason to believe bo has. Will Hung on to tlio Canal. The canal must remain opsn for the passage - sago of British war vessels under all oir cumstancos. This has always boon the position taken by England , nnd It is Incom patible with any schema ot neutralization. HtHsIa would object to England's ' using the canal for the transport of troops or the ma terials ot war In the event of hostilities breaking out In India. She is not likely to glvo way on this vital point , and It Is a more dream to suppose that Egypt can bo neutral ized by an understanding between Franca and Great Britain to which Uussla was no parly. Wo do not over , see It proposed In the French journals that thu sultan should bo consulted n to the creation of an "African Belgium , " and yet leave him out of the ac count altogether. It Is utterly impossible for those reasons to anticipate that Eng land will begin at once nny Important move in Egypt. It Is shear delusion I am giving the substance of the views hold in the highest ofllcial circles , and you may rely on their accuracy. Mr. Gladstone remains at Hawardon us quiutly as tbo cows will permit , hammering out bis homo rule bill and oblivious ol Egypt und foreign af fairs generally. Tbo usual rod dispatch boxes go round from tbo foreign oftlco nnd back again , but they contain nothing of any Interest or moment. Lord Uoioborry re mains In or near London , having an inter view with foreign ambassador * and minis ters , chiefly formal and complimentary In their nature. Actual business Is practically suspended nor the remainder of the holiday season , not a single minister with tho. ex ception glvou , bolntr at bis post. Many have gene away for two months by way of earn ing tholr salaries in the highest and most agreeable inaanor. A MeuuEit or PIHUAMKT.

M a oar on through froiirht eastbound from California points. The report could not ba vorilliil and was emphatically domed by the officials of both roads named. The ofUclcil complaint ha1 * been made to Chairman Yinlnp. Suoh stories nro not uncommon just now nnd nro probably due In n great measure to the gen eral nervousness existing in regard to trans continental rales. Interested people nro waiting anxiously for the next move on the p.irt of the Great Northern , now that the road has boon do- I'outcd In Its attempt to cut commodity rates from San Francisco by the refusal of Its PaclHc connections to recognize Us reduc tions , but It Is fully expected to create trouble cUcwhoro. In the meantime the sweeping reduction in nil classes of freight rates Inaugurated by the Canadian Pacillo from liooton to St. Paul is regarded as n signal for the iron era I breaking down of westbound tariff * to the Puclllc coast. All the passonicr ofllelaU of the Atchlson are hero and have boon1 in conference for two days. There Is reason to believe that they have practlcallv agreed upon n ulair which will "cither bring the other roads to terms or prccinllato n war that will bo far reaching in its effects. It , is claimed that competing lines nro cutting the rate from 4 to 10 per cent over their own counters in San Francisco nnd Los Angeles , and If the de moralizing methods nro not promptlv discon tinued , It Is the Intention of iho Atchlson to make an open reduction of S10 or 515 per ticket between California and Chicago. And this will DO only the beginning. Chairman ( V.ihlwcll or the Western Pas senger association has requested tbo Trans- missouri association to adopt the same ur- rangcmunts concerning return portions of KnlghH Templar tickets coming through lower Missouri gateways In ivgard to their collodions west of tno river and the issuance of the continuous uassugo train ticket In their stead , as have been adopted by the roads carrying pissongors through the Omaha gateway. Tno object is to prevent tlio stocking of the markets nl tbo lower gateways with the return portions of those tickets. Tariff rates are to bo restored Sop- tembov 15 , while these coupons nro good until October 11. iiuititrr.\ jo Admiral Wnlkor Ordiirml Tlicro ut Once In His I'K-rtlili ) , the riilliiilnlphlii.

If this Is how things stand now , when there is no strain put on the authorities , what would occur In the event of a panloi Meanwhile much virtuous wrath is ex pressed at the gross carelessness and blun ders of the Hamburgers. When Dr. Koch was sent to Hamburg1 lately his first visit was to the headquarters os the medical commission. Ho WHS received at 0 a. m. by a charwoman , whom ho asked whether Dr. Kraus was visible.

On further Inquiry ho found that the men , to whom the inhabitants look for protection , against cholera were In the hatilt of settling.1 down to work at 11 and adjourning at 2. Hut many thlncs are strange In Hamburg , It Is some comfort to rclloct that Dr. Krnue , wno was the head of the commlsaion , baa been sent about his business. As announced a nay or two ago Emperor William has postponed his trip to Hamburg , where ho was to have visited the Emprosa Frederick. A great deal may depend upon this Visit. It mav loud in the first place t ) the re-establishment of kindly Intorcoursj between the sovereign and his lady mother , from whom ho has so long been estranged , and In the next place It mav prepare tbe way for an olovonth-hour effort to bring about a reconciliation with Prlnco Bismarck by the Empress Frederick , who long slnno madu nor pcaco with Prlnca Bismaruk. She strongly counsels the oa-isatlon of strife bo- twdou the court and the ox-chancellor. Tbo emperor seems , or rather lately see mod In clined to not on her advices , but Count Ca- prlvl , of courdo , oppoiod p aco. Ha knows what that might moan to himself. I hove reaHon to bolinvo that , though tlm emperor was a trillo taken back when ho heard that Count Horbjrt Bismarck was to visit Hamburg , ho was not nearly Incensed enough ut the Idea to please the chancellor. 1 am assured his majesty's consent was asked before iho count was invited to Hamburg , and granted.
