" * QoinAXTixc , S. I. , Sept. 12. This day

ns'ono of the worst reproaches on American
civilization that bas over occurred iu Amorl-
can history. Federal aovcrnment on ono

anxious to bo the rescuing party , nnii In

The Normannla's cabin passengers , who
bad boon for eight diys conllncd to a cholera-
Ktrlcuen ship , wcro greolud on Salurdav
w lib iho long hoped for rolk f In the shape of
the Stonlngton , to wbich vessel they
were transierred that ovonlng. For the
llm night for days they slept In
peace aud satisfaction. On Monday
they' were to go toFlro Island , which , through
Governor Flower bad been secured with all
ils houses and the Surf hotel for tbo accom
modation of tbu first nnd second cabin pas-
eoncors. On Saturday they slept on the
Slontngton , but In the morning It was dis
covered bho had no moans for cooking , was
too deep iu draught to cross iho bar , and , uc-
cording to statements made , too unsea-
worlby to von'uro so far in iho open ocean.
The iron 'steamboat , Cophuus , was then hired
nbl ( tbe first nnd second class cabin passen
gers started for the promised land. The
weather was rough and many were seasick.
After a voyage of about thirty-six miles
tbo captalu weakened and said ho
was afraid to take tbo Copbous
over the bar without a pilot. In
consequence of this the Iron steamboat
started back to ibo Horseshoe bond and the
llrst class pissongers were once morn put on
board the rickety old Slonlnglon linor. The
second cabin passengers were knpt on board
tbo Cepneus without u bed or oven n pillow
on which to lay" their baud. They were
strewn nbout tbo settees aud carpeted decks
of tbo steamer.
Early this morning the captain of the
Councils discovered that ho required coal
nnd watrr and could not cot to Piro island
without tbom. Ho calmly steamed up to the
quarantine jetty nnd made fast alongside nnd
tent word shorily alter 4 to wake the health
ofUcor'jp. After a hurried conlorenc ; witb
Dr. Furguson nnd Mr. Wall , Dr. Jenkins
decided to water and coal her at his own
tlocit. This win aone and at about 10 o'clock
tbo CcpbeuH once moro started down the bay
to embark the caloon passengers and take
tbnm to Flro island. The trip WHS again a
rough one , but there was moro than tbo olo-

" " ? Tbo Babylonians nnd their near neighbors
cared not for the sufferings of tbeir follow
countrymen and women ; they did
not cnro if they died of cholera , starved
or wcro drowned , all they thought of in tbcir
craven hearts was the the totally improbable
proposition of their being attacked
by iho pestilence , owing to the
propinquity of a number of ladies ,
gentlemen and children , wbo novcr bad chol
era in their midst , who had lived for a fort
night on board n plague-stiickcu hip with

their own homes. The-"o people not only In

They would not clvo in and Iho passengers

V passengers appointed a committee with Seji-

FIHE ISLAND , N. Y. , Sept , 12 , 5 p. in.
Tnero have boon exciting scenes hero this
afternoon nnd up to Iho present hour , owing
lo demonstrations by 30J to 40J baynion ana
"others , led by Supervisor A. W. Young and
ox-Surpcrvlsor John H. Vull of Islip town ,
'who took possession of the docks nrraori with
khotgUUS , oil's and oilier weapons and twice
resisted all attempts mada to land passen
gers from the Cephcus , At this hour the
Copbous Is anchored about 200 foot from tbo
dock. As the Cophous ran alongside iho
dock tbe first tlmo 100 voices shouted : " You
can't land hero ; go b'ick to Now York. "
Others shouted throats of throwing them
overboard If they slopped from tbe vdssol
onto the dock. A hawser was thrown to a
post , to bo Immediately thrown baok. Five
policemen on tbo Cophous climbed to tbo
cunwolonnd motioned us though to draw re
volvers , but went no further.
c. L. Wall , whom ( Jovernor Flower au
thorized to lake charge of the hotel hero ,
* who was also aboard iho Copheus , asucd the
r mob lo listen to him , and ihen said : " 1
represent the stale of Now York und < un
authorized to land hero and ussumo ctiarpo. "
Tbo crowd bhouu-d : "Show us your uu-
thoilty. "
Ho thereupon praducod n paper which ho
lipjtan to read , but could not mnko himself
heard. Many passengers , mostly woman ,
nppculed to the crowd to allow them to land
but the unswHM that came were dorislva
bouts.
Lawyer Hold nnd Supervisor Young In
formed those aboard the steamboat that Jus
tice Iturnard bad grained an injuncilloti ro-
ilraliilng them from lauding.
Jtrcognlzu no Authority lint Tlioiniolvot ,
The Cophous was Ihon bucked out nnd
turned. VYHlo turning Dr. Yoignt uccurea
B row boat to take him lo tbo steamer nul ho
bad gene half way when the men rowing re
fused to go farther and tuined bade. Ha
made two other unsuccessful attempts to
roach the steamer.
The CephouB again ran alongside the dock ,
but a solid line of determined baymen re
pelled an attempt to land. Mr. Wall airaln
asserted hU authority , but , when ho staled
that the authority was from Dr Jenkins , the
bcaltb ofllcor , iho crowd Ji-orcd and Super
visor Young shouted : "Wo doa't rccognizo
r r. Jenkins ot Governor Flower's uuihorlty
Jjoro. "
.Lottie Collins , who stood In the llrst row
of Ihr passengers that lined the decks of tbo
Copbous , .put out both hands and cried ;
"Shame , ihamol Do you really call yourselves -
selves Americans I Bhamot" Aud as tbo
Mcuincr again backed from tbu docks the
English actrois kibscd her hand and smiled
After the Cepboui was anchored a boat \vai
toweicd and U. L. VVull and Caplalu ! Trip-
plo were rowed in Itto tbodock. hut wore not
allowed to Mep ashoro. Mr. Wall said that
ho desired to confer with tbo commute ? .
whereupon levernl persons shouted : "Super
visor Vounn ropraionU us. "
Then lot nm uhnro and Supervisor Young
i ° nnd 1 will talk llilx matter over , " said Mr.
Wall A t core of voleos nimvercd : "No.
UP , you CAD uot come ashore bore : go back
to Now York. " Mr. Vll replied : "I represent -
resent the state of Now York. " "ShOiV
your authority , then , " responded the urowd.
Mr. Wnlt thereupon took a pnpor out of
ils pocket ana road from It as follows :
"To whom It may cunaorn : C h Wall Is
iiitborbe I to take Chirac of the Surf hotel
anU ptissencors. "Wn.MAM T. . | IVKI.NS ,
"IlonlthOniccr , Tort of New York. "
Tbo supervisor replied : "I do not recop-
ilza Or. .IcnKin.s ; this Is not the port of
Mow York , und I do not tiroposo to allow
my passenger * from Infected vcmels to
and In the town of Jsllp. "
Tortlm U'oinrn nnit Chlldrnn.
"But wo have not n sick parson on board.
Everybody is well , and 1 appeal to you lu
behalf of the American woman and chil
dren , to allow lliL'ao people to land , " said
Mr.Vnll. .
" \Vo think of our own women nnd chil
dren first , and Intend to protect them at all
hazards , " roulled the supervisor.
Whllo this conversation was poing on Dr.
V'olght appeared on the uocK and began tell
ing Mr.Vall that ho had charge there , when
soi'cr.il buvraon crowded around him , shout
ing : " 1'tirow him Into the water , " "Drown
him , " nnd would have probably carried out
their thre.u.s but for repjrtor.s. The boat re
turned to tbo Ceplious , wboro the dejected
spirits wcro being Kept up by band music ,
the band plovlng "Thu Star Spangled Ban
ner , " "God Save the Qtioen" ami "Yankee
Doodle. "
Th'i hoot came oft again , however , and Mr.
Wall nskod to have provisions seat aboard
tbo Cenheus. bomo in the crowd shouted :
"All right ; lot her have all the provisions
they want. " But the greater number nn-
swerod : "No , no ; glvo thorn nothing. Lot
them co back to Now York. "
Dr. Voight had just slated that ho wis In
formed Governor Flower had tclographoJ
Sheriff A. B. Linn of Suffolk county to
corad hero with deputies una keep the state
properly door of intruders nnd protect tbo
Cophous" passengers in landing. Many
thrents were mndo of burning or cutting
down the dock if the passenger * bog'an to
land , and a number of men procured axes
with which to cutaway sulllelent of the dock
near the hotel to prevent persons rcacblng
tbo lultcr.
I'ho arrangements to insure the carrying
out of Governor Flower's orders nnd pro
tecting the hotel bavo been lamentably in
adequate. If n force of twenty or thirty
policemen hnd beun sent hero by way of
Babylon , they could have kept the moo off
the property and the pussencers on the Ce-
pUous would by this time huvo boon located
in their rooms at the note ! .
At 4 M L , nvyer Eugene Fishel of Babylon ,
counsel to the Islip Board of Health , reacn-
cd hero with a copy of the Injunction grant
ed by Justice Barnard. Ills arrival was
greeted with cheers from tbo crowd on the
tlot-K. Everything is In readiness In the
hotel for the ciro of tbo 570 passengers on
the Cephcus whenever thnc nro landed. A
cm-load of provisions has just arrived from
New York.
Another Appeal Trlml.
As it was growing aaru , a small boat o.imo
from tha direction of the steamer. It was
rowed bv two policemen and in the stern
stood a gray-haired man , ttobart M. Thomp
son , AH the boat approached the lunding.
the mob cat lie rod threateningly. Ho said
that the men on the steamer dia not ask to
land. The young- women would remain if
necessary , but ttio old women , some of Ihom
grandmothers , nnd the children , suffering
not for comfort but for decent care , .should
be allowed to land. They wore to bo 10-
turned to the steamer after a night's rest
and on o moal.
Attorney . P. Ueid answered that If the
captain of the steamer would come ashore
the people to whom he spoke would consider
tlio request. Saying that ho would attempt
to bring the captain bacl > with him , Mr.
Thompson returned to the steamer.
U W.IH dark , except for the light of the
slurs , when the boat was seen coming back
to tbo landing place. When tlio boat had
almost touched the landing u tall , "su.iro
figure was boon stajiuine in the bow. "It is
Senator AlcPboraon of New Jersey , " called
out Mr. 'ihompson , who was still in the
Btcrn.

"Citizens , " said the senator , "tho captain
declines to comu ashoro. If you will give
inojour injunction papers I" give you my
word of honor I will give them to htm and
he will accept them as lozally served. "
Attorney Hold replied that the captain
must co mo ashoro.
"I do not uiuletstand vou , " said the sen
ator , "you appear to hesltato over some legal
question..and your hesitation means unspeak
able suffering and probably death to women
and children. "
The senator turned his faceup to the mob
and in mi impressive tone said : "I appeal to
> ou men , in the name of God , not to bo
longer led inlo heartless cruelty by this at
torney. Uemomuor your own wives nnd
children. Do not bring nn everlasting dis
grace on your names. He mou. "
Tbo crowd siood tbcro sullen and silent ,
wlnlo tlio lawyer said ; "They cannot laud.
If wo permit lhcu we will give away our
cuso. They cannot land. " "They canuot
laud , " repented the mob.
Senator McPhereon sank down In the boat
overcome.
Mr. Thompson cried out : ' 'tfou are being
duped by a tricky lawyer. "
"Wo are no moro trlclcy than you , " an
swered Lawyer Held.

Mr. Thompson then said : "You will at
least allow Dr. Voight to send us food and
blunkots. "
"Not unless the captain comes ashore , "
answered the lawyer , and the mob ap
plauded.
At 8:30 : o'clock a meeting of the hoard was
bold in the hotel office , wboro u resolution
was passed that if Dr. Voight would go with
Lawyer Keiu to the stcamar ana sea that the
injunction papers wuro served , the board
would allow food and blankets to bo taken

LONDON' , Sept. 1'J. | By Cable lo Now York
ilerald Special lo THE Bui : . ] Ttia rush for
early steamers to Now York has suddenly
given place to ono of an opposite nature , and
hose Americans who are now thronging the
oadon hotels are maKing frantic efforts to
exchange tbo very slennislnp ricliets th'-v
iad strained every nerve to secure for those
of inter dates. It is , however , next to Im
possible to book anything until near the end
of October. Per the past two or three days
.ho steamboat oftlcos hnvo bean beseiKijd by
Americans wbo insist on being told that
there is no quarantine at Now York on stoara-
crs sailing from Liverpool with steeragn pas
sengers , and they seem much disturbed when
they learn that it is impossible to toll what
quarantine oflleUls may do baforo the oud of
a week. They are m a state ot semi-panic ,
jrougbt about in a nujoritv of cases by
ilarming cablegrams from friends in Now
York advising them foi the sake of all that's
good and boly to remain here at all hazards ,
tread half a dozen of these massages today ,
the gist of all being the same : ' 'Don't come ;
nrolougcd quarantine , mbory and danger
await you. " Truly not a very pleasant
wtndup lo a summer's lour , already short
ened by unnecessary and absolutely baseless
European scares , and it would bo well if
Americans having friends here were to leave
them to follow their own inclinations and
use their own judgment as to the date ot
their return.
The Purls edition of the Herald keeps them
fully informed of the state of affairs in Now
York harbor and these piteous appeals to
keep out of harm's way merely a jt to the
present by no means little confusion.

Ono of them pathetically remarked , "When

pretty gowns it Is very hard to
face the possibility of one' * entlro
assortment undergoing the damaging
torlures of steam and sulphur. I have there
fore not made any purchases whatever , and
have countermanded all orders ufreauy

women , and it would seam the ill wind has
at least blown some good In tbo direction of
homo dressmakers.
I have taicon pains to have an accurate
estimate made of the number ot American
travelers ut present in London. Sixteen
hundred sailed last week and there now re-

Special to TUB BEK.As ! the Herald's cor
espondent , and for the benctlt of the medi
cal profession In particular , nnd humanity
nt largo , 1 was yesterday Inoculated with
new nutt-cholora virus which Pasteur con-
MJH as great a discovery as that which
nado his name world-wmo famous In con-
eollon with rabies. Tborcforj , I have n re-
nolo portion of my body allvo witb him-
reds , nvo , thousand ! of cholera microbes
vhleh have bson taken from the dead bodies
f cholera victims in Salgou. Asia , where the
lost Is over present In Its most violent form.
I went to the Pasteur Institute at 11
'cloelt In thn morning. Downstairs the
valtlng rooms nnd big halls were filled with
isoplo , waiting for the autl-rAbloi Inoc-
ilatlon. It was n curious sight , such as
ould scarcely ba sosn olsoivhoro. People of
II nations were thnre , nnny In their bright
ational ooitumot. Upstairs , at tne llrat
oor to the loft and the sacond to the ngnt ,
here Is the laboratory whore Drs. Hoffulno
nd Pasteur have worked patiently for two
oars , miking the discovery which both as-
ert confidently will rid humanity of the
angers of cholera.
Dr. Hoffklno comes forward a tall , fair
oung man , with n closely trimmed beard , a
eng , thin face , largo grayish-brown eyes ,
isb , thoughtful forehead and reads Pas-
our's brief note , asking him to vaccinate the
orrcspondont of the Herald at once.
Cmnmoncml llio Oprratlim.
Ho replies briefly , "Vary good. " At the
amo time he hunds tno a thermometer to
lold uudor my arm for twelve miuutes. so as
o get thn tomporatuiM before the opuration
s perfected. Ho bands Pasteur's message
to Dr. Houx , who give injections. Then ho
esumcs the examination of a drop of Lbolera
Iru ; through a microscope.
"Theso are all right , " ho says , after min
ute examination. "If any other but cholera
nicrohes ure is the virus , it is dangerous ,
t is the duly of bacteriologisls 10 discover
ny elrangors. "
Then ho proceeded to prcp-ira Iho virus
vhlch ho will use presently on an American
oclor , who wants lo take some home , nnd a
omoiorclal traveler who is goiue to travel
hrouRh Uujsia and on to Altona and Ciam-
burg.
Dr. Hoffklne left the laboratory and led
ho way Into an anteroom , where he settled
himself at a small table covered with jars
ull of tubes , glass pipes , Bunsen burners
and small medical glasses covered over with
filtering pipers. Talcing up oao o ( taa tubas
ho said :
tlicGorin * .
"That yellow , gelatinous matter which vou
ECO In the tuba is a preparation upon which
vhlch cholera microbes thrive. " Ho called
t "goios. " "You see tbo white film up on top
s covered witb cholera gonna. 1 have to de
tach tbeso germs. To do so I pour this hurm-
ass bouillon , " following Iho word by Iho
dead , "upon them. Then I take this bit of
glass piping , which has been melted tojahigh
joint , and gently disengage them. "
As ho did o , while the surface was
skimmed , tbo microbes lloatau about on the
boullllon , turning it white. At ibis point
there was oxtreino sllenco , for tbo doctor
.oolc up nno bit of glass piping , put ono cn.l
n the cbolern virus liquid , the other in his
mouth , and began to sucli the thick yellow
It looked as though ho might easily have
got a mouthful of microbes , but when tboy
halt filled the pipe bo held his breath. Ttou ,
raising tbo pipe with thi greatest care , ho
gently let the contents fall Into ono of the
glasses , wbich was at once covered with'
paper.
The same operation was again repeated.
Then all the microbes baa loft the cotos.
Now the virus was to bo llquitied by moans
of addition of bouillon. Drawing it up inlo
u syringe and eyeing it crilically , Dr.
Haffklns said :
"Hero wo have eight Injections. "
Then ho ejected seven-eighths of the whit
ish yellow liquid. The remainder , which is
about n centimeter cube , form nnslnjeclion.
And now , having got to the moment when
Iho syringe , which Is a beautifully made
liUlo instrument of glass , about four Inches
long , witb a hollow noodle at the end two
inches long , Is ready for operation , I must
introduce to you Dr. Houx. tha operator.
Ho Is a thin-fticod man of middle ao ( with
sharp features , brown b&ard , and a man of
few words. He perfortnos the injections bs-
cause the government insists on its being
done by u doctor ot medicine.
Tnlclnc thn "ihnt. "
"llaroyour loft side hare , " ho said , toucd-
ing a poiut half way down between the tlftU
riband the hip bone , over the intestines.
I did so.
It is wonderful , tbo nutnbor of ideas which
fly through one's bo.iu at such moments.
Visions of microbes , Asiatic cbolora , dead
bodies , ibo cbolora Atrioken Spaniards which
1 had soon durlag tha mat opldcralu. I
was awakened Irani Homo suci ! thoughts by
feeling the doctor rubbing pbunla ucid ovei
Iho uxposed part. This Is n disinfectant.
With quick action ho then adroitly grasped
u cell of ilesh between his finger and thumb ,
bent over and applied the syringe. There
was a quick , sharp piui as thu needle
was thrust home to tbu full exicnt of Ils two
inches , and ibo valve of tbo syringe was
pressed , and as tbo virus passed into tba
llesh It produojd n sort of relief. As tbo In
strument was drawn out , "That IH living
.virus , 1s It noil" I wked Dr. Hallkino.
' "Yea , " he replied , "tno microbe * come

udgo Field , who opunuil the discussion ,
utipo Field's address was u sincere ami
natily prcson tatlou of tbo issues of the cam
paign. Ho rccounlod the history , the pro
cess , thu prosperity of Nebraska , niul
> olntod to the Inllurnco ol republican logisla-
Ion upon Uio material development of too
tato.
Ho glanced briefly at the hostility of the
lomocratlu party to the homestead Inw us
jroven by the dufcat of too homestead bill
four times by democratic votes and votoos.
Un tlio TurlfT gttontloii.
Taking up the tariff question Judge Field
hen analyzed the tariff plank of the demo
cratic platform. Hu denounced It ns a freu
rado plank pure ntul simple , and refuted the
lalm setup by the democrats that n pro-
cctlvo tariff was unconstitutional. Whllo
dwelling upon this point Judge Field alluded
o t.he historical Inct that the aomoorallo
> aity had declared unconstitutional the
lomestend law , the efforts to preserve the
union , the reconstruction acts and the re
sumption of spoclo payments. Ho recalled
he promises made by democratic candidates
wo years ago that tbo MclCinloy bill should
> o repealed unit then pointed to llio fact that ,
after the people had taken them at their
voru the democrats could llml no vulnerable
spot in the Mclviulov bill mid the best they
could do was to "tinker" with it a little.
.Hid so l < iolil referred to Commissioner
Deck's report and bncited It up by mi extract
rom the bantling commissioner of the ntato of
Tew York showing the rapid Increase in
savings bank deposits in that state In tha
ml two years ana the furtnor fact that
rilhln the past two years the number of
depositors in the savings banks in the Em-
ilru state had increased bv moro than

liryiin'.s I'rlonils Disappointed ,
After speaking an hour JudfO Field gave
way to Co across in an Bryun , who was to
speak for an hour nnd llftoan mlnutc.i. It is
to bo regretted , perhaps , that Mr. Cry an did
lot rise to the spirit of the occasion In a
nannor to show that ho was sincere in his
desire for n joint discussion of tno Issues for
lie campaign. Ho spake with his usual brll-
lancy mid lliioncy , but those who listened to
its "reply" to MelClnley two weeks ago und
icard Uim n aiu this avculng rocoanlzod u
sirihlngslmlinrlty between the twospeochos.
In other words" Air. Brynn simply redolivernd
jlsuntl-tnrllT speech. Ho undo hut a faint
iretctiso of replying to tno assertiotiB of .1 udge
Eield.
Alter congratulating himself that his on-
ponent had not challenged the record made
by himself in congress ho passed on a gen
eral denunciation of the principles of pro-
Lection. He made no defense of the declara
tion of his own part ; platform that the pro
tective tariff was unconstitutional. Ho
merely glanced at Judge Field's demonstra
tion that the price of cutlery him decreased
jndcr the operation of the Mclvinlcy bill ar.d
Lolho statement that American manufactur
ers wcro now able to supply the homo mar
ket with cutlery for the llr.U time in the
history of the country ho simply replied that.
If American manufacturers wcro able to pro-
dULu nil the goods needed liy the American
people and sell llieiu cheaper than tbo for
eign goods could be sold , llio country would
tiavo no means of raising a revenue ,
Tlmt ISIiiillliff Twine HIM.
Ho devoted a largo share of his speech to
n defense of his bill to place binding txvino
on the free list. Ho uorluod Commissioner
Peck's report and said that no man of sense
would bollovo It. Ho tidniittcU tuat tbo
Homestead strikes were not caused by tbo
protective tariff , Uut tickled his friends in
the address by asserting that the strike at
Homestead had caused protection to tramhlo
from turret to foundation. Ho admitted
that protection enabled the American manu
facturers to pay higher wages but claimed
that It did not compel them 10.
Judge Field had been given fit teen min
utes in which to reply , but hu hadn't been on
his feet two minutes before bo had tbo audi
ence wild wltb enthusiasm. So hearty and
so continued was tbo applause that ho was
compelled to request the audience to llsteu
to him In oraor that his time might not ho
encroached upon.
Itroiiclit Down tliu iluuxc.
To Mr. Bryan's assertion that the govern
ment bad paid its soldiers In greenback *
and UK bondholders in. gold , Judge Field
brought dawn the house by replying that
lha rcDUfilicnn party bad cured for the do-
fcodors of tbo union ov liberal ppnslonn ,
nnd that , too , in the face of the hostility of
Urovcr Cleveland , who had vetoed hundred i
nf pension bills. Ho for ring to Bryun'a '
record , bo asserted thai thuro was nothing
n It to critielsoor oonvnjnd.
To IJrya'i's insertion thnt woolen goods
were dearer by reason of the McKmloy bill
Judge Fit-Id read lottnr.s from A. M. Davis Ai
Co , , ' Miller & PC I no and Uorpolsholmur &
