Ttie post-mortem examination ot the Gcalpi case at New Orleans seems to Tiave proven question that it "was a genatae cane of yellow fever. This means that the State hoard of healtli, -which is very active and efficient, must take all measures iieresfea.ry,and that our people -will co-operate in every way, even though there may be no more cases in the city. "Dr. Gniteras will be at Uic&n Springs tomorrow morning. Wc are more afraid of this point than of New Orleans We have information that affairs there are already being attended to scientifically by the State board of Mississippi.

SHigeun General Wyman delivered a paper on the eriectivene of quarantine before the meeting of the physicians at Moatreal.

Accordingly, on the 2Sth ultimo I tele grapned to you to the effect that the.

"I ih,w" confirm that telegram, and the obtect cf Wiia instruction is to explain the nAUire of the terms ami conditions, an ad'ie-ion to which is, in the estimation of the imperial government, es-eutitl to a. satisfactory ih-ue of the contemplated arbitration. -The reasons assigned by the minister of foreign affair of Hawaii In favor jf crbii ration make it also deslratie that the award when pronounced fch:ll be jf the higluist and most commanding char acter. Consequently the imperial govem nent propose thM the two governments rlmil, when tlie proper time arrives, unite in rtHiuetlug that his majesty the King of tlK Belgians may be pleased to accept the jHj'-lti-jn of .le arbitrator. The im perial govenrmeiit are, moreover, persuad cd of the desirability of expressly defin ing the scope of the reference, not only in order to lighten the labors of the ar bitrator, but with the view as well that the decision may address itself solely to the actual iKilnts of diverscuce.

'It ie lue to frankness that I should, in this connection, fitate tliat for icasons which are fullj set forth in another in struction, the irnperUl government cannot Consent tliat the question of the lwua fides of Ihe tH)sessun of S50 by each of the rejected free laborers, or of the applica bility of the treaty of 1671 to Japjnese tubjects other tlian those belonging to the merchant class vshall be regard eda.3 points f issue iiuou Ahich the decision of the arbitrator Is to be invited. -If the government of the republic are prepared to meet tlie imperial government upon the foregoing essential points, It Is not apprehended that any difficulty will be ecperit-nced in arriving at an nndir standiiir in reference to questions of minor Importance -i iu are consequently directed to com municate a copy of this instruction to the minister or foreign affairs as Ihe reply of the Imperial governm-nt to the suggestion contained m his uo'te of the 2Sth of June You will nt thesame ami urgently impress upon jim th- Importance from every point of view of an immediate response." Tiie following tract- from the In struction referred to by Count Okuma In the foresting letter explain why the Japan--e government wishes to restrict the scope or the crbitratAec. A'l-tdmtrto Sir t'.x.por's objection to the jii of the words "arbitrarj'" and "caprl-eiou-"iii characterizing the rertisalor the Hawaiian government to allow the'japan ese l.umigrants to lpnd, Count Okuma savir "Mr. Cooper, I observe, takes exception to the words employed by me in criticising tlie action of the Hawaiian authorities. He will, T am sure, understand that I hate oo Intention of making use of a single c-cpre5-irm that could not be fully sustained. I should be sincerely gratified, In the interest of the neighborly senti miils -which have so long united the two countries, it T could find any reasoa to moderate the views which I have felt Ixj'iud to formulate But, unfortunately, there is nolliing either in the notes under acknowledgment or in the more recently developed facts of the case tending to place the act- complained or in a more fa orable light. Tn inv Instruction of June 12, I expressed the firm -onvlrtion that the auts or expulsion were in tielation of treaty stipulations; were without warrant or due process of law and In disiegard of the remedial rights of the expelled immigrants and also tliat lliose immigrants had been restrained of thlr liberty. That instruc tion iab not yet been answered, and un less it can be shown that the conviction thus advanced was erroneous, I shall hoc be able to admit that any -word having a !cs precise meaning than 'arbitrary' would aecui&tely describe tiie narure of the proceedings complained of. "I he unaccounial le delay in the assign ments -jf the reasons for denying resi dential rights, more especially in respect of "lie passengers per the steamship Shin-thm-Mnru and Sakura-Mura, and the present, attempt to substitute other rea sons for tlioe originally advanced; the unccrfnlr-ty wh'n or by whom the several Inquiries or investigations leading up to the act of cxpuHun were actually con ducted the doubt when or bv whom the quallficatioaioftbeiminigrants werefinally determined the fact that distinctiur-s were made between individual immigrants, who, in contcuplatlon of Uib treaty and the laws of Hawaii, stood absolutely upon an equal footing, and, finally, the circumstance that, the new policy of wholesale exclusion was mJdonl Inaugurated without an notice whatever to Japan and in direct and abso lute contradiction of the pre-existing prac tice, all uniU? to give the proceedings a character to which the application of the u-r. 'capricious' does not, I am well per suaded, exceed the bounds of fair and Just comment and condemnation." s The HawuilangovcmmentCount Okuma goes on to saj ,bas persisted in shifting the ivi.c concerning the reasons assigned for icfusiug to allow the Immigrants to land. Oji this account it should not now occasion any surprise, he believes, if he Japanese government le linns to discui.s the ques Linn whether the possesion by eacli free immigrant of S0 "was bona fide or not. "The imperial government," he observes, "maintains that in the present case pos session -was prima facie evidence of owner ship. The Hawaiian government has frankly and unequivocally admitted that, caclt of the rejected free immigrants was actually In possession or SoO ,and baa more over declared that under the Ilawaii.m law 'possession' Is synonomot'h m it It 'own ci ship.' Consequently iLe imperial govern ment denies that it -was at any time incum bent cii the immigrants to prove that the possession in question was lona tide. But even if that buiden had at firit rested on the immigrants, it atus shifted by tlie uctl n of tlie Hawaiian government In definitively assigning anolhti reason for the nets of expulsion -without calling in question the bona fides oi such possession "Under any circumstances It would now, nfter this lapse of time, be unjust und un reasonable 10 call upon the immigrant?, to prove such l)na fides. Equally tlie imperial government cannot consent to join Issue with Hawaii on the question, -whether the tieaty.of 1871 is limited to the merchant class. Tor more than a quarter ,t a century the contrary ha been ctni-t'i,Hy held by ltth govern ments. All Japanes.- and all Hawallans are alike entitled to the benefit of the t rerty. The action of the Japanese gov ernment in 139-1 in throwing open the -whole empire to the trade, travel and residence of all Hawaiians, -wittiout dis tinct ion 0f cjaHS or condition, was only reconcilable with the contention tlrct the treaty is not restricted In its application, and I am utterly at a loss to know thu griunils upon which Mr. Cooper alleges that the Japanese authorities, in regard to tlie immigration of Hawaiians to Japan, have adopted the narrower interpretation of lh treatv which the Hawaiian govern ment has now for the tirst time put tor waid. "And agalc the convention of 18SG "was nut cono'uded with a view of meeting a casus omissus in tl.e treaty or 1871. On tlie contrary, ti history of the negotia tions leading up to tlie signature or that convention will place beyond the range' of conjecture or doubt the fact that that lnstrum 'nt was concluded atthelnstnneeof Hawaii and tliat its object was to encour age and promote, not to autliori.e, the emi gration to Hawaii of the very class of purso'is now excluded.

Before bringing the woman to rolice headquarters a thorough search of the house was made, but failed to diclosc the supposed hiding place or any funds.

Though it Is understood that Hawkins had admitted that he gave his wife a portlen of the money before he left, there are many who place little credence in his confessiou, especially as hfs state ments in regard to Mi. Collins' connection with the robbery has been shown to be utterly false and without the slightest foundation. Mrs. Haw kius strenuously denies that she knew anything of her husband's theft or his whereabouts. Late last night nothing further had been heard from Detective Helan, and It is supposed his prisoner crossed the border without objection.

DEPUTY MARSHAL IN CHARGE A T)cht of !j5fj,557 Sitid to Bo Due by the Vessel to John Parle Aguew & Co. Same Inconvenience to Pas, bugersi on Aoconnt of the Libel Take tho Cars Home. The John Park Agncw Coal Company of this city yesterday libeled the steamer Charles Macalesier for the alleged non payment or a claim or 36,557 for coal. The isi earner Is now tied to the wharf ut Mount Vernon. Mr. James R. Caton, the attorney for' John Park Agnevv A. Co., yesterday applied to United States Commissioner John S. Fowler, of Alexandria, for the libel papers against the steamer, which requisite papers were p'jcvd in th hand.- of United States Deput- Marshal Glover, who arrived at Monnt Vernon just as the steamer was pulling out from her dock on her way to Mar.-dmll Hall. He remained at the grounds, and when the Maculester re turned to Mount Vernon, shortly after 1 o'clock, advised Capt. Rosa of his mission. He tied the vessel to the wharf. When the passengers were told of the action of the officers there was consider able excitement shown, because many doubtless lost sight of the fact mac tney could return to Washington on the electric can The Maculester carried several hundred passengera.and had lift a number at Marshall Hall witii the expectat-cm o: conveying them back to the city ou the following return trip. Capt. Ross surrendered his veel to tne deputy marshal, and told bis pas-engera that they would have to return to Waaii Ington on the electric cars. Tlie excite ment soon sub-tided, and the excursionists, realizing tlie situation, took advantage of the opportunity to spend several hours at the tomb or Washington Many did not board the electric cars to return home until a late hour last night. After placing Mr. jolm uark.of Alex andria.ln chargeof the Macalester, Marshal Glover returned to Alexandria about 6 o'clock anu reported to coum.isti.,uer Fowler. Mr. Caton, attorney rbr Agnew & Co., notified the receivers of the Mount Vernon Steamboat Company of the action he had taken, and subsequently the receivers, Messrs. James Edwards and E. L White, went to Alexandria and held a conference with Mr. Caton. Mr. Citon wat- seen by a reporter of The Times at Alexandria last night. He ad mitted the facts as above stated. Messrs. White and Edwards had caBed on him, but nothing definite had been accomplished looking to a settlement of the claim of his clients. He did not propose to take any further steps In the matter, however, until he had heard from the receivers. There w as nothing more to be said at this time in regard to the matter, except that he hoped for .in amicable settlement or the claim. Deputy Marshal Glover, who served the paper on Capt. Ross, stated last night tliat unless the matter wasadjusted by to day he would take the Macalester to Alex andria and tie her up to her wharr there. He also said that the crew of the Macal ester had remained at Mount Vernon, hav ing been advised that the company would send another steamer down to bring up the passengers left at Marshall Hall and Mount Vernon, and that the Macalester's crew expected to be transferred to the other steamer. The persons that had been left at Mar shall Hall were brought to the city on the steamer Bartholdl. Mr. James Edwards, one of the receivers of the Mount Vernon Company, was seen at hLs'home.No. 219 I street northwest, last evening in regard to the matter. He said: "Messrs. Park Agnew & Co., the coal dealers, have Jjeen for many years fur nishing coal to the Mount Vernon Steam boat Company and, havinga claim when the receivers were appointed for the steamboat company of between $G,000 and $7,000, yesterday libeled the steamer Macalester through the district court of the United States in Alexandria. "The steamer was taken charge of by the marshal while in the possession of the receivers. The vessel vvas lying at Mount Vernon and carrying passengers to and fro under the directions of the Dis trict court. "Agncw &, Co. claim a maritime lien against the steamboat, thinking that they can do this because the original company was incorporated under the laws of West Virginia, and they undertake, by tills pro cess, to obtain priority. It is claimed by other parties that in rolut offact Agnew .1 Co have always dealt with the steam boat com pan v andtrustedit on the strength of and looked to Its general prosperity for parnent. They had received notes from the company from time to time, and, 'n met, had presented the present claim to the receivers before they took this course. "It is thought that the court that ap pr itited he receivers may take action to prevent this interference and that the Macalesterjuay proceed as usual In carry ing passengers. "W'en the officers took possession the vessel was tied up at Mount Vernon, and there were not many passengers aboard. The recaiveis pro"ided for their acc-ommo-ddtion while tliere, and arrauged to have heni br.-.irht back to the city on the electric cars. "The efforts of he receivers have been in the direction of aiding the unsecured ciedit'.is. aud U is thought that the action of Agnevv & Co., which may be considered au contempt of the court, will result in ini?ring the class of eieditors and not beneficing the hbellants themselves." CROKER BACK IN NEW YORK Pats on the War Paint to Direct the Tammany Fight. Party Conferences to Begin as Soon as, the Returned Tourist -Sets to "Work. Xew York, Sept. 7--RIchard Croker Is home again. He has returned to direct Tviiimany's city campaign. His sphinx-like silence on political sub jects and his elforts to evade discussion of municipal affairs have been construed by politicians who greeted him todaj, and b Ills frilow-passengcrs on tliaNew York, a a possible indication that hemay ac cept the Democratic nomination for mayor of the Grentcr Xew York. "Xo, no; I am not going to discuss poli tics,' was his almost invariable reply to any question toncenilng nls views or the political situation. But as he said this there was an Intense gleam In his ordinarily calm Heel-gray eyes that betrayed well-defined intentions. His big guns are loaded to the muzzles, but thus far he has kept the primers at a safe distance from the vents. It was only his bulldog determination that restrained the pulling of the lanyards today- Croker has withstood a btcady croas fire of leading queries ever since he left Southampton. European correspondentsfor American papers, who thought to accom plish a coup, look passage for New York on the same ship with him. They did not make themselves known to Mr. Croker until u'v were ,v!l out to sea. 1 lien they began to apply the pumps. The Tiger Trainer became as dry as a woodhouse chip in a moment. The valves or the pumps soon played out. Mr. Croker said. "I have remained absolutely silent re garding politics from the time I boarded the ship." His entire demeanor evinces recruited physical strength and keen mental force. These will be employed in restoring order to the Tammany ranks. SPKCIAI. yOTICK.
