man within her confines who has seen grim
death stalk through the crowded tborough-
. fares of Hamburg at high noon whore , aided
nnd abetted by Us agent , cholera , it has car
ried thousands to that lutfd from which no
traveler bus yet returned.
, p I This man 1s Herman Anderson , who last
. (6 ( Rprlng started on n trip to visit tlio land of
jf * ills birth und the homo of his boyhood. Ho
rambled through the mountains of Swllzar-
land nnd along the valloysof the Khine ; ho
taw Paris under the most favorable circum
stances , nnd having soon about all that was
worth seeing , concluded to run down to
Hamburg and tarry there u few days before
Btnrllng to this land of Ihu free.
Soon after reaching that city it was whis
pered nbatit tbo st.-eets that cholera had
broken out in the portion of Iho city wboro
the poorer people resided. For some days
ticopio paid llttlo or no attention to the re
ports. Tno newspapers were silent upon the
subject nnd mon wont about tlinlr business
ns usual , llttlo thinking of the pull of death
that was so soon to bo spread over and about
the city. Day after day the daath
r.ito Increased while the authorities
in charge of tbo health department continued
to Issue bulletin1) showing the city was enJoying -
Joying good health. At last tno death became -
came so alarming that they shnd to aiiknwl-
ocifo that iho cholera bad taken possession
of iho city. Then bulletins showing the
true condition of affairs went forth nnd an
exodus sot In , people locking up their places

. AnilcrHiiii Ti'llH tlio Story.
, The work of the scourge , as told by Mr.
J Anderso'u , who reached Omaha yesterday , is
L Botnothliig appalling. , (
if , „ When seen by n Ur.n reporter last night
p the gentleman said : "Last spring 1 started
I for Germany for the purpose of spending n
low months around rny old home. The trip
ever wiU au uneventful ono , nnd after touch-
Ingland Istartod outto have a good tirnn. I
trnvoled through Germany taking in thoslghis
nnd enjoying myself as only a porao'i who
is acquainted with that -countay can. After
doing the country to my entire satlssactlon I
came down to Hamburg with the Intention
of sailing for homo on the llrst ship out , but
attar lODkinj. tbo town ever I concluded to
remain n few days loueor. This was about
August 20. Shortly nfter my arrival 1
noticed that there wai a great deal of sick
ness In the city and calling the attention of
the prefect of police So this , was told that it
was nottiinir but a bowel trouble. The nows-
papers said nothing abnut It , and I felt sat-
silJd that the troubla came from natural
K
cu.so3. ; Two days inter in the American
' portion of tbo city it was unnouncoil that
cholera was epidemic in Hamburg , and then
there was an exodus that I
fanny resembled the flight from
Egypt , mentioned in bibio times.
Dlulo times. Most of the Americans drew
their money from the banks , settled up their
bills and loft the olty , same going to franco ,
Homo to England , soma to the country , but
more sailing for home. I fully concluded to
Join the luttor class , but wn prevailed upo.i
to wait n few d iys longer , being assured
that there was no danger If I was careful In.
my habits nnd in my diet. The idea of going
through u cholera opjdamio was not u ploas-
nnt subject to contemplate , out. I remained ,
li'ul the oxparlonco and 'hero I am ulivo nnd
well.
Hmlttun l > y the Sconrgo.
"On August iiD the cholera was doing us
worst nnd was claiming from -100 to AUO vic
tims pur day , wltn thousands on the sick
list. In tlio tenement portion of the city ,
whora hundreds of families llvo in the long
. - ilrlck rows , mun , women and children wore
dying like shuop. A man would bo in ner-
( ict health in tlio morning and at noon ho
would bo u corpio. Children would u'o out
into the street to play , bo seized with thu
era in us and die buforo they could reach their
koines , while a mother would pick up a llttlo
DUO In her arnu , and before sbo could reach
n doctor perhaps both would fait dead.
Then tbo whole city was turned
over to the doctors , out they were
Bcnrco nnd In tbo hospitals there was only
or.o doctor to each ton patients. In the
hospitals every thing was crowded. The
patients were uut Into wards bud were
divided into tbroo classes. The lint class
was known as nuspjcts , people who woru
though to have the cholira. If the disease
, developed they were transforroJ Into the
cholera ward , whom they remained until
the case was moro fully developed , if
thu case was lUoly to prove fatal , the pa-
tlont was transferred to the dead ward ,
wiioro ho ronmluod until death claimed him
for Its own. It Is said that tlioro was not a
great deal of fatality , but I want to say that
of thosu who took the disease not ' > par cent
recovered , nud but few parsons will ever
Unow bo/v mauy deaths there have boon in
Hamburg.
Thoroughly Dlnlulvctml.
"Whv the authorities kept this Informa
tion from tuo publlo I cannot toll , but they
did. After thu 11 rat scare was over I wasnott
nlurmed , and watched tbo progress of the
dlsouio with considerable interest. Of course
I took every precaution. I loaltod my clothes ,
my bedding and uiy person with carbollo
acid ; I t'ooK carbolic acid In tbo water that
I drairK and } u the food that I
ate. In fact I was so thoroughly
eoakod with tao acid that I can smell it
yet. Jf you wont Into n hotel or u restaurant
you smollcil , ute and drank carbcllo ucld. It
was Uio-t in the sioros.'llio hoiiscs nnd In tbo
ntivot sprinklers , At I ho hospitals it was
everywhere and over prnsunt.
' 'The burying of tlio dead was a sad slgni
nr.u uno that I shall never farg.-t.
"Wttgoiih like our American drays would
start out in tbo moraing to gather up tbo
pnllonts and carry them to the hospitals , ami
during the trips par ions would frequently
die onrouW. Tbeso corpses nnd the
patients would rldo together until the
hospitals wbro roacbed , when the corpsns
would bo placed In the dead room and the
patients In tbo wards. At nleht great beer
wtizons and drnys would back up to the ho-
pltal door * to take away the dead. They
were placed in rough boxes , nailed up nud
then the boxes woula DO plied up Ilka- cordwood -
wood and convoyed to the outskirts of the
city. There In trenches about two fcot wldo
nnd four feet doap they , would bo dumped
without n board or stone to mark the resting
place of the poor creature who lay beneath.
"The clothes and budding of the cholera
victims were usually burned in tbo hospital
furnnco.
' The funerals , if such they may bo called ,
were always held at night , nnd it was no un
usual sight to see a dozen wagons loaded
high with boxes , hurriedly driving
toward tbo plan ot burial , without a
mourner following the gruesome cortege.
Strang as it may seem , the cholera found
but few victims in the wealthier portion of
tbo cay. or wboro the people kept their
promises clean und took care of what they
ate and drank. The water of tbo
Elba was uno cause of the gro.it
fatality. With the vast amount of shipping
that roaches the city , the river Is nothing
moro than u bugo sewer , and this water the
poorer people drink without any nttompt nt
publication. Drinking this water , that is
thick with illlb. It Is no wonder that people
die from cholera.
i\lrmnc'ly Hani na Hamburg.
The injury to the business of Hamburg is
beyond computation , aud its will tuko years
for the city to rogrlu the commercial stand
ing which it hud throe month * njjo. Wnolo
business streets bnvo boon abandoned , und
wliero all was nurry and bustle tbreo months
ago now it is as silout as tno grave , Banks
have closed , hotels have lokcd their doors
and life Insurance companies have gouo to
the wall. Commerce has boon diverted to
other ports and ruination stares many of tbo
wealthiest businois men in the faco.
"How tuo cholera reached Hamburg is n
question that will novur bo answered. Some
claim that it was brought on a cargo of hides
from Asia , while others contend that it was
brought by u sailor from thu Indian ocean.
Tills last ppoposltlon seems to ho tbo most
plausible , for the llfst case that was dis
covered was in n sailors' boarding house ,
which was near the dseln. But how It
reached Hamburg makes but lltllo difference.
It is there , and it hu ; wrought great havoe
to lifo and bualnojs In tnat city.
"After I bad suon all the nuotor.i that I
cared for I was thoroughly uUInfoatod with
sulphur nnd carbolic ucid , and shinpjd on iho
sto.imer Wetland , wtiiuh Im.l a list of 105
llrstcabin luisongar. * , without a soul In the
second cauin or in the stccrago.
Detained in Oiiaraiitlnc.
"Tho voyage ever was a pleasant ono ,
there being no sickness on board , and with
line woEithor we m.ido the trip ever most
comfortably. Upon reaching Now York wo
dropped into quarantine iu the lower bay
near tbn cholera Hoot and about 239 feet
from the Normannja. Tnero wo were
detained live days by the Now York
quarantine olHcow , who treated us as well ns
couln bo asked. 1 mot Dr. Jenkins and found
him a very affablogentleman. Wliilo ho maybe
bo suvere in some cases , It must bo under
stood that ho has but ono doura , und that is
to prevent the cholera from reaching the
United States.
While in quarantine , with the aid of a
largo Hold chus , I saw John L. Webster and
\V. A. 1'uxtou pacing tbo deck of the Nor-
munnla , nut was so far away
that I could not speak to them. Before beIng -
Ing released from quarantine our baggage
was thoroughly fumigated , being placed in a
room heated to soaio M.VJ = > anil then sub
jected to the fumoi of sulphur.
"Ulght hero I want to say that If cholera
reaches Omaha people need not dm if they
will keep clean , oat healthy , wbolo ems food
and not get scared. Tbo main thing is to
keep a healthy stomtcb and a cool , clear
hoau. "

\VASIIISOTO.V , D. C. , Sept. 17. For the past
week tbo sound of hammer und saw has been
hoard without intermission during the nours
of duyllgbt the entire length of Pennsylvania
avenue. On every bit of panting , before the
fronts of the great government buildings
and on every inch of available space
mammoth structures of rough timber
and beards have sprung up filled
with myriads of soata for the
accommodation of the thousands of specta
tors who uro to witness ttio parade or the
Grand Army of the Republic next Tuesday.
The decorators have taken their turn , and
now tbo grand stands uro tilings of beauty ,
draped with fabrics of all colors aud orna
mented with a beauty of design nnd taste
that found a full scope in the use nnd embel
lishment of tbo many fanciful badges and de
vices that distinguish the various armies and
corps of the great body of warriors
that served In the union nrmy.
The business men and citizens
ccnorally have all caught the spirit of the
great event moro fully than was over in the
case in Wnsuington before , and there is
scarcely a building along the projpsclivJ
line of inarch that is not decorated with pro
fusion. Add to these tbo countless decora
tions in tbo other sections of the city and it
can saloly bo said that never before has
Washington baon so gaily dressed nnd shown
such enthusiasm us upon tbo occasion of this
encampment.
Onu striKlnc feature of the comlne week
will bj the Illuminations. Probably Iu no
place , nnd certainly nowhere on such a larjrn
scale , has the comparatively well known
electric light been so udroitly and ingonl-
ounlv adopted to the purposes of a scenic
display. If the program is carried out with
out failure Iho result will bo a veritable
picture cf fairyland on Pennsylvania avenue
alter sunset each evening next week.
All througn last ulijlit trains arriving nt
the two stations brought visitors to the city
and no small number of Grand Army of the
Hopubllc men were included. This morning
the scnnos of activity wuro renewed and the
facilities of the railroad companies were
severely taxed. Except that trains were
conerallv behind schedule time thoj stood
the strain admirably , owing to Iho nrudont
forethought und careful management ex
hibited , and there was no ground for com
plaint on any score.
II the crowds on the streets today form a
base for an estimate the city will be thronged
next week by a crowd of people larger than
wnb over gotten together in Washington be
foro. Because the department and ether
places of employment were opened today the
citizens formed a small portion of this
crowd. The sidewalks of tao principal streets
were bordered with small temporary
stands unun which was displayed an
nnuzing variety of badges , canteens , medals
nnd souvenirs of every conceivaolo style
that by the remotest analogy had any con
nection with tbo approaching reunion.
Everybody who cnmo to town found their
way some time during the day to the Grand
Army Place to admire the duplicate of the
ICoarsar o and cuzo upon the preparations
that were making with superhuman energy
to ttavo the place in order for the dedication
Monday noon.
Every attention Is being given to the ar
riving veterans. Bureaus of Information nro
established at convenient points , where nil
sorts of conundrums relative to meals and
lodcincsand the location of hounos nnd almost
everything on earth are answered with ad
mirable patience by u corps of citizen volun
teers. Every incoming train is mot by commit-
tcemen , who tune in etiuigo the veterans who
arrive anh pilot them to tbo quarters they
are to occupy. Down at the barracks tbo
ranges are smoking uua the long tnblos are
waiting for ibo hungry and n vast array of
new canvas bunks are ready for the tired
travelers. Many of those have already boon
turned nvor to tboir occupants , aud in the
storerooms are ncaily rolled blankets

Bisnt.ix , Sept. n.-T-Tho residents of Ham

The loading hotels of Hamburg prior to

of business. Commercial nscuts Instead of
transacting their business tbiough Ham

deal through Uromon or Stottm. The cur

Tbo Prussian .Diet will meet during the
fcecoud week in December. It will have an
important measure to consider. This is the
question of reforming , the electoral system.
Tbu new system of election bus impelled the
proposed reform , until now the Prussian
electors have voted in three grades , pnrtlv
regulated according to tbo taxation paid. This
plan , which is complicated , abnormal and un
fair , dates fromconservativoi-oautlon against
popular principles , and Is in direct conflict
with the universal suffrage accorded the
German electorate when the empiru was >
created. So the Prussian bystoin , which
was designated to give aristocrats supremacy ,
must bo moJlUoJ. The bill will not propose
nil that the froUsiunlL'O party acsiros. Il
still retains tbo plan of grouping tbo electors
in classes according to * taxation , but lowers
the qualifications of voters. The frcisslnnlgu
party will raise a lively contest over what
they claim is an lusulllcltut reform. Judg
ing from the language of the Catholic
prioits the conservatives and centorists will
combine to support the government. The
bill is thus sure to pass.

Among tbo bills introduced in the Ilolchv
tag will be ono giving the imperial health
ofllcc control of tha sanitary regulations of
the whole of Germany. Tbo different laws
now existing In each Of the federated states
make Joint action impossible. The spread

LONDON , Stpt 17. { New York Herald
Cable Special to Tun linn. ] The commer
cial and ilnnnclal situation Is looked uoon
with the deepest apprehension. The foolish
run on tbo Blrkbock bank this week shows
boxv suddenly domor.illzad small depositors
ran become , und it many moro business to-
cioties go to the wall n panic will surely on-
sucIt is notoworth that the optiontsts still
bold their ground nnd people moro readily
lend an oar to their prophecies. It may bo
that tbo public dooi not , want to boar of
crashes until they have nrrlvod , and tnoro-
fore Is trying to bolster up Us hopes that all
may yet bo well.
But the future bodes no good. The coun
try is strmvu with wrecks of building socle-
tioi which were largely tbo depositories of
the poorer claisos. Everybody In England
puts by something of bis earnings and the
building societies offer ttio bcstroturn on the
investments made in them. People who look
seriously on this subject must come to tbo
conclusion that these wrecks nro only the
forerunners of moro dUasturs. No ono can
toll what might have occurred if tha Bank
of England had not so promptly como to the
succor of the foolishly assailed Blrbeck bank
with 500,000. This money romaius un
touched in tbo safes of tbo Birbcck bank and
the directors' report shows tlioro is money
than necessary to satisfy the demands. Yet ,
the more fact Unit tbo Bank of England loat
its practical and moral support , was the
only ttimg that averted similar senseless
runs on olhor banks.
Added to this feeling of uneasiness como
rouorts of distress unmeasured from the mid
land counties. Whole families of cotton
spinners are walking the streets without
food or shelter. At McClcMield and in the
surrounding districts the silk weavers and
avers are the chief sulToroiM from the hard
ships resulting from strikes and reduced
wages. When earning 11 shillings per week
thcywcrc asked lo consent ton further re
duction of wages. All this constitutes the
anxiety ns to the immediate future In tbo
largest Ilnnnclal sphere , and while every
thing points to safety and security , there re
mains the sensation of lurking danger. If
tbo crush should come it must bo laid ut tlio
feet of the bank depositors who lost their
beads without rbymo or reason.

BEIIUN , Sept , -Now York Herald Cable
Special to Tin : Due. ] A revolution at the
top or too state , followed In ton or twenty
years by a greater revolution at the base , is
what wo nro drifting to in Germany. After
having playou the uoonil party at the oe-
ginnlng of hi * reign , Is the young emperor
about , to try the rola of Cnurlai X . to Insti
tute clerical Kovornuicnt , to lutcrlcro with
puolto rights mid liberties !
To some ol us thcso questions may scorn
lillo , yet tlioy tire serious. They nro bo I up
whispered. They need nn answer , The
rumors Unit ono hears In curtain places
seem to juslily the nlurin rumors ot a
crushing now taxation , of strange comunuta
between tlm church and atuto , and lastly
and cluelly of the contemplated changes in
the Gorman mothoJs of oleetion , changes
which woula rob the nation of its dearest
right , to vole unhindered for its candidates.
Wo hnvo thla woolc soon the Collnlscho
/oltuiiK , the mouthpiece of what Is supposed
to bo the mouerato party , demanding moro
power for the "classo ? , " which of course
means less power for the masses. This was
curious euougu , but it Is not , the strangest
incident. From sources which hare rarely.
proven untrustworthy I pot graver news.
lliillut Ititl'orni It Daiixcriiii ! ! .
I hoar that there has boon much prlvato
talk of Hto ut Potsdam and In the bureaux
\Yilhulnisirusso of projects for "reform-
ing" the modes of election to the UcichstaR
ana suostltutiug open votes for secret votes.
Herr Singer , the social democrat , once salU
something HUe this ut. Hullo :
"In the past wo all worked pour lo rol do
Prussia. Now things are different. Ho
works for us. "
These words will cam in aptness anil
significance If imperial advisors nud their '
master persist in their present reckless
course. There are reasons which explain
the burning wish of the government to
change the electoral s.vstoni. The powers
that bo dread the results of the now elec
tions. They foresee th.it conservatism maybe
bo swamped by the progressionists mid
socialist- ) . They feel that If they could but
set rid of the ballot , or rutbor the secret
voting , fear , cowaruiso or weakness would
win them the support of many thousands
who would like to oppose them.
Their dread is not unrounded. It is based
upon reports which have been made by their
agents , and it Is shared by cool observers.
A refusal of the Uclchstng to vote on tha
proposed array bill might , and doubtlosi
would , oblige the government to go to the
country , and what would bo the answer of
tuo country in its present mood , with dis
content rife , misery widespread , trade Ian-
William Slay hu .Snvuil.
The truth , I believe , lias been told plainly
to 0110 minister , at least , the Prussian prem
ier , who has been very much impressed by
it. Count Eulenberg Is able and wary ; ha
has Wright In the council chamber and th
emperor trusts him. ills Influence and good
oonso may yet prevent the blunder which
hits ruined many monarcha the blunder ot
trying to put back the hands of tluio aud
.standing in the way of the people.
It would not take much as things stand , to
cause a crisis , and the Issue of the struggle
between the rulers ami the ruled , uotweoii
the classes and the between "
masses , the inon-
arch and the nation , is certain.
ButCaprlvl , It appears , does not view the
situation so hopelessly as do .some of his col
leagues , lie fancies ho HIKH u chance for
safety In the help of the Cathollo countries ,
who , ho tblnks , might bo porsuudod to assist
their nrstwlilio alliee , the conservatives , givu
their sanction to the abolition of the sucrol
voting system and aid In substituting tha
open sybtcm still employed at elections /or

"This K'jiehstig , " said an important funo-
lionary , who was utkou for Ills opinion on
the subject tlio otner day , "would probably
consent to do your bJ-J-llng. Tno next 'will
tie too democratic. "
