' WANTS IMMIGRATION BTOPPBD.
! A Letter From Mayor Grant to the
President.
New York, Sept 16.— Mayor Grant to
] night sent the following letter to President
i Harrison:
' P** R Sin—As mayor of the city of New York
i I deem it mv duty to call your attention to tue
: present condition of sanitary affairs in this city,
i While there is no cause for alarm in the present
j condition, and while everything is being done
I ny the authorities to prevent the spread of the
; cholera, every reasonable precaution should be
taken to prevent its further introduction into
this oountry.
I. therefore, request that you. as President of
the United States, exercise all the authority you
possess to prevent further immigration to this
country until ail fear of the introduction of the
cholera shall have disappeared. I am, with
great respoot, Hugh J. Grant, Mayor.
POWERS OF THE GOVERNMENT.
It Has the Power to Impose All Quar
antine Restrictions Necessary.
Washington, Sept. 16.—1n response to a
telegraphic inquiry from the President on
Sept. 9, as to thejextent of the powers con
ferred upon the surgeon general of the
marine hospital servioe and upon the Secre
tary of the Treasury, with the President’s
approval, to make quarantine regulations
with reference to immigration from mfeoted
ports. Attorney Geueral Miller has submit
ted an opinion wbioh holds that “consis
entiy with state laws and regulations it is
entirely competent for the federal govern
ment to impose additional restrictions, and
hence also the imposition of an additional
period of quarantine, or
THE TOTAL EXCLUSION OF ALL VESSELS
or vehicles coming from any foreign port or
oountry whore any contagious disease may
exist," “or vessels or vebiolee conveying
any person or persons, merchandise or ani
mals affected with any infeotlous or con
tagious disease," from “any part of the
United States, is within the powers con
ferred upon the officers named In your in
quiry acting with your approval.” The At
torney General says that every government
is under obligation
TO TAKE ALL NECESSARY MEASURES
to preserve the life and property of its citi
zens, not only from foreign invasion, but to
adopt such sanitary measures us ore calcu
lated to protect the people from those pesti
lences whloh have been found nearly if not
quite as destructive as war. This is but
another application of the maxim that ' ‘self
preservation is the first law of natureand,
It may be added, of nations. The right of a
state to enaot sanitary measures to protect
its citizens is conceded. The right of the
United States to do the same thing must be
admitted. The powers grauted congress by
the constitution to regulate commerce, tie
holds, gives ample authority for the pur
pose.
NO MORS IMMIGRANT TRAFFIC.
All Talk of a Presidential Proclama
tion Subsided.
Washington, Sept. 16.—Talk of the
President's proclamation suspending immi
gration has subsided. The Atlantio steam
ship companies, learning that the Attorney
General had given an opinion to the Presi
dent that his powers were ample, sent a
statement to the treasury of the number
and character of passengers en route, with
the assurance that no further immigrant
traffic will be permitted by them.
Richmond's Precautionary Measures.
Richmond, Va„ Sept. 16.—A meeting of
the board of health and advisory board was
held to-night, at which it was decided to
inspect all trains and steamers ooming into
the city as a precautionary measure against
the introduction of oholera. Bteps were
taken having in view the improvement of
she sanitary condition of the city.
NEW YORK'S OUTBREAK
Not Likely to Interfere With Trade
Relations With English Ports.
(Copyright, 199ifc by the N. Y. Associated Frew.)
London, Sept. 16,—1n view of the effect
of the outbreak of cholera in New York on
goods aud passengers arriving at British
and European ports, a representative of the
Associated Press to-day interviewed John
C. New, the American consul general here.
Mr. New said there was no reason to sup
pose that any change would occur. Traffic
would continue as usual. He had beard
nothing from the British authorities,
nor any suggestion from business men,
that the existence of Isolated cases of the
disease in New York would in any wise
alter the present arrangements. Mr. New
added that he did cot believe the cholera
would become epidemio in New York or
other ports of the United States. When
the authorities in America had to tackle
anything like that they took a tight hold
and kept it. Within his own oonsular
boundaries the oholera, so far as trade
was oonoerned. was utterly uufelt.
The amount of trade during August
exceeded that of the corespond
ing month last year and business continued
to Increase this month. His own informa
tion concurred with that received by the
English authorities. Mr. New further said
that there was no oholera within the united
kingdom. This was marvelous, considering
that England was tbs channel through
which some of the worst class of conti
nental emigrants poured.
If, by any chanoe, the oholera did become
epidemio in America, he felt assured that It
would not cause the authorities hero to do
anything to inconvenience the American
arrivals, but he oould not even anticipate
that a question of precaution against the
United States would arise.
A representative of the Assooiated Press
has sought to gain information from the
London agents of the Hamburg-American
Packet Company concerning the statements
in American papers that written engage
ments were given to some of the Norman
nia’s oabin passengers that that vessel car
ried no Immigrants. The agents deolined
to speak one way or the other, but said they
might controvert the statement, though if
they did it would only lead to newspaper
controversy and do no good to anybody.
Regarding the question of the port au
thorities here making any restrictions on
traffic with New York on acoount of tbe
oholera there, tbe agents thought they
knew better, that toe quarantine system,
like the American, would not hold here, and
trade would go on as before. The detention
of the Normannia, the agents added, obliged
them to bring tbe Columbia baok to South
ampton without a single passenger aboard
in order to meet tbe Normanuia’a engage
ments.

thousand [ople attended the blcyole tour
nament to-day. The track it the best in
the world and very fast. Harry Tyler of
Springfield, in a special trial with pace
makers, lowered the reoord for one mile,
standing start, to 12:08 4-5.
Zimmerman oarried off the raoing honors
of the day, winning the mile world’s race
for a #l,OOO prizo. All the flyers entered
in this. C. C. Smith started out
with a tremendous spurt. Ha opened
up a big gap and led the drat half, when the
orowd caught him. The riders then bent
down to work, and the fight was between

THB PRESIDENT'S ABSENCE.
Vice President Morton to Do the Hand
sh r . king Aot.
Washington, Sept. 16.—Universal re
gret is expressed at the enforced absenoe of
the President, whioh is now generally ac
cepted as a fact, and its deplorable cause.
Vice Preaideut Morton will represent the
Preeident in the handsnaking functions and
President Douglass of the board of commis
sioners of tbe district will be his
substitute in the speechtnnking ex
pected of him. The speeches, which
were expected to be the Praiident’s
best, may bo in part represented by a letter
of regret from him. Mtioh of the partisan
advantage which republican politicians
were anticipating from the O. A. R. en
campment meeting at the capital during
the presidential campaign will, of oourse, be
lost through the absence of the President,
whose personal participation in the parade,
to say nothing of his ser.es of dinners and
reoeptions at the white house, and his sig
nificant though non-partisan speeches, were
relied upon “to help the ticket."

hole in her side. Steam was crowded on

where, by hurried disembarkation, the pas
sengers landed just before the boat sank.

THE DISTINGUISHED DEMOCRAT
GIVEN A GREAT OVATION.
Eight Thousand People Welcome Him.
North Carolina's History and Tra
ditions Dear to Hina—Cleveland’s Ad
ministration Confessedly Honest.
He Criticised the MoKlnley Act sad
Its Increase of Duties.
Raleigh, N. 0., Sept. 18.—Hon. A. K.
Stevenson, accompanied by Mrs. Stevenson,
arrived at Raleigh at 8 o'clock this morning
from Asheville. At Hickory last night, en
route, there was a great demonstration in
bis honor. He spoke to a large crowd
there. He was met at the station by the
military and a large oonoourse of citizens.
There was a tine street parade. Mouuled
men and a ling Hue of carriages pre
ceded a crowd of 8,000 men to the St.
Mary’s grounds, where the speaking took
place. Ihe chief points of Gen. Stevenson’s
address referred to tba tariff and the force
bill. The sueecb was well reoeived. Every
reference to Cleveland was cheered to the
eoho.
A GREAT OVATION.
The reception of Gen. Adlai E. Stevenson
was a great ovation. Eight thousand per
sons were present and the city was largely
decorated. A long prooeesinn of carriages
and marshals passed to the St. Mary’s
grove, where an immense crowd was as
sembled. Gen. Stevenson said that ha had
been greatly touched by the hearty wel
come he received at every point visited In
North Carolina. "I do not feel," he said,
"that I etaud before you a stranger. The
traditions, history and glory of old North
Carolina are as dear to me as to yourselves.
The blood of my kindred, as of yours, was
shed at King’s Mountain and my kindred
with yours united In formulating the
Mecklenburg declaration of independence.’'
PRAISE FOR CLEVELAND.
Taking up the political campaign ho said
the administration of Grover Cleveland was
confessedly on honest administration of the
government. No scandals were attaohed
to his appointments of office. During his
administration the bonds of the government
were paid at maturity and everything that
you are required to buy for your families
from the cradle to the grave was at the
lowest market prioe.
Mr.Stevenson then oritiolsed the McKinley
tariff bill and its increase of duties, con
troverting the argumentsjthat the consumer
did not pay the tax and that protection in
creased wages.
TAXES INCREASED.
“There was an earnest demand for a re
duction of the tax on the necessaries of
life," said Gen. Stevenson, “but the Mo-
Kioley bill was passed and taxes were in
creased *o 70, 80, and In many instances to
100 per oent. The objeot of that bill was to
oheok importations, to erect a Chinese wail
of exclusion so as so out off imports, thereby
depriving the government of Us revenue
and at the same time allowing manufact
urers to inorease to the consumer the oost
of every article he it compelled to buy of
them. The republicans have told us year
by year that the consumer does not pay the
tariff taxes, but that they are paid abroad.
THE SUGAR TAX AN OBJECT LESSON.
“Yet the President tell* ns In big,letier of
acceptance that taking the tax from sugar
has saved the consumers many millions of
dollars."
Gen. Stevenson said the sugar tax and its
repeal was an object lesson. Next taking
up the question of wages, he said that the
republicans claimed that the tariff tax in
creased wages, and be appealed to the peo
ple to know whether their wages had risen
as the tariff tax had boen increased. He
cited the high price of labor iu Colorado,
California and the far western states as
compared with the other states, and said
ths law of supply and demand largely con
trolkd wages.
THE FORCE BILL UNDER FIRE.
Continuing, he discussed the tariff at
length and then the force bill, adverting to
the trouble# of the reconstruction period.
His address was over an hour long and was
listened to with marked attention and re
ceived with great enthusiasm. Ho was fol
lowed by C. Adlai EwiDg of Illinois, whose
speech received very high encomiums on all
sides.

Buffalo, Sept. 16.— The national repub
lican league convention to-day chose Louis
ville for tbe plaoe, and the second Wed
nesday in next May the date of holding its

mous vote. National Committeeman Camp
bell of Illinois said: •*1 jet us cultivate a
tree down there and tho fruit will drop into
our hands. Lst us go down to the south
and meet the people and shake hands across
the Ohio river.” Mr. Clarkson was unani
mously chosen president, succeeding him
self. Whttelaw Reid addressed the con
vention.
THE PARTY’S HOPE.
“In the young men of the nation lodges
the hope of the Republican party’s future,"
road Henry E. Tipke of Pawtucket, R. 1.,
in presenting the report of tbe oommittee on
league work. The report strongly urged
that the educational work of the league
should be continued, that leAgue clubs, in
•tearl of being simply recruiting stations,
should be tho permanent armies of the Re
publican party. If advised that a list of all
the new aud doubtful voters be prepared
and kept ou file by tbs olubs. Close work
ing together of tbe national and state
ieuguea was recommended, also the holding
of frequent league conventions In the states.
Other recommendations of a progressive
charaotor were made and the report was
adopted.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
Gen. Fairchild of Wisconsin presented the
report of the committee ou resolutions as
follows:
The representatives of the republican clubs of
tha United States, in convention assembled,
mindful of the splendid history of the Repute
lioan party, make the following declaration of
principles:
1. We most heartily indorse tiie wise, Datrlotio
and statesmanlike administration of President
Harrison.
2. Believing that the principles announced by
tbe representatives ot the Republican party at
Minneapolis, in the national convention aasctn
bled, fully express the sentiments of the repub
lican leagues of the United Stales, wo therefore
most cordially indorse those principles to the
end that continued prosperity of our country
may be assured,
8. The Republican party has been from its
birth the advocate of all measures of advance
ment and progress. Its principles are and al
ways have been such that appeal to the young
m-n having the good of their oountry at heart.
We cordially invite all young voters who be
lieve in the prospsrltv and perpetuity of the
uuion to unite their political fortunes with the
Republican party.
4. Itesolvsd. That it be expressed as tbe sense
of tins convention that tbe republican press of
the oountry is one or the most potent agencies
that may be employed to promote the prlnci
pies of republicanism, and that It is worthy ot
encouragement ami support or all republicans.
This was adopted unauimoutly.
(Secretary Humphrey aud Treasurer
Lounabury were re-elected.
REIII’S SPEECH.
Whitelaw Reid in his speech congratu
lated the delegatee that tbe republican fixes
are burning so brightly in the western part
of the state. [Applause. ]
"Because a vast deal of interest has not
thus tar been shown iu the canvass, our
opponents have sometimes flattered them
selves that the republican cause was in an
apathetic state. I beg you, gentlemen, to
say nothing whatever to disabuse them of
that oonviction. Those of you who have
known the Republican party in storm as
well as in sunshine know that Its best work
ha* been don# at the time when its adver
saries believed it to be beaten. [Applause.]
ONLY APATHETIC.
“Atpresent they only believe that we are
apathetic- Let us encourage them if poesi
ble to believe more. Let us encourage them
to believe that we thiu* the conditions in
the northern part of New Kuglaud are ab
solutely agaiust us. If they will only nave
the kindness to continue in that oonviction
they will add more to many kindnesses
that they have already oonf erreil in this
campaign, from the formation of their plat
form at Chicago on down, upon the Re
publican party."
KER WITHDRAWS
In the Interoat of Several Candidates
in Legislature.
Philadelphia, Sept. 18.—Cept. W. W.
Ker, who reoeived the regular democratic
nominatlou m the Third congressional dis
trict of this city, announces this morning
that he has withdrawn from the ooutest.
This leaves the field to Congressman 110-
Aleer, who reoeived the nomination of the
independent democrat# and was indorsed by
the republicans. Mr. Ker arrived at his
conclusion after a conference, which lasted
until an early hourthie morning. National
Chairman Harrity was present at tbs con
ference, and it is said that It was largely
upon his advice that Mr. Ker withdrew . In
a statement Mr. Ker said, *'l am induced
to taka this step for reason that lam
reliably informed of a fuol which
is now widely known that the uomiustion
of McAlosr as the regular republican
candidate was promised with the un.
demanding that the democratic support
should be givea to the republican candidates
for the legislature iu the Seoond, Third,
Fourth, Fifth, Twelfth and Seventeenth rep
resentative districts. While 1 have reason

IRISH SELF-GOVERNMENT
WHAT WILL BE THE EFFECT OF
MORLEY’d INITIAL EXPERIMENT.
The Liberals Think That Hla Procla
mation Should Have Been Delayed
Until the Hve of the Reassembling
of Parliament—The Effect of the Re
cent Bank and Building Sooletiee
Failures on the Money Market.
(Copyriuht, 1892, by the .V. Y. Associated Press.)
London, Sept. 16. —The conservative#
assert that the liberals are doubtfully ask
ing whether Morley’s revocation of the
proclamations mode under the coercion oat
is not a tactical blunder. The liberals,
whose appreciation of craft In politics over
tops their tense of principle, think that
Morlay ought to have delayed the revoca
tion of the proclamations until the very eve
of the reassembling of parliament. Ha
oould then, according to their line of argu
ment, have met the Iriah clamor aud satis
fied the Irish pressure by doing what he hoe
now done under a mere senseless fidelity to
pledges, backed by a hope that the nation
alists will respond to the oonfidenoe he
places In them.
MORLET’B INITIAL EXPERIMENT.
The liberals know the intensity of the de
sire of the anti-i’arnelUtes to support Mor
ley’s initial experiment toward Irieh self
go varnment. What they ask is, will tha
anti-Parnellltes’ influence prevail! Will
Ireland, freed from coercion, have suoh a
quiet winter as will justify Moriey’s
sudden action? The unionists say, of
course, that with the restraints of
law removed the irreconcilable# will show
themselves and outrage will beoome rife.
It is a part of the sadness of the position of
the genuine Irish patriots among the Par
nellitee that they are largoty suspected of
raadine## to 00-operate in disorder, at least
If not ready to use tbelr influenoe to con
trol the eruptive forces.
DARNkLLITSS’ PHYSICAL STRENGTH.
Although the physical strength of the
Parnellltee Is not great, their disturbing
power is immense. If they have not the
prieets and wealth of Ireland on their side,
they are still in close touch with the people.
They still dominate Glare and Dublin and
the great Influence of Galway, Rosoommon
C'ortlagd and Waterford. Upon their for
bearance depends the success of Morley’
first stroke in behalf of Ireland’s Indepen
dence.
Although the run on the Blrkbeok Bank
"as almost oonourrent with the col
lapse of the London Provident Bank
and with the failure of several
small provincial building societies, it
has not had any apparent influenoe on lbs
money market. It would be wrong to sup
pose that members of the Haute Fiuanoa
were without anxiety.
FALLING TO PIECES.
All over the oountry workingmen’s Insti
tutions and building operations are falling
to places, chiefly through mismanagement,
but often through the dishonesty of the
directors. The Blrkheck Bank is the largest
institution of the kind, with close conneo
tlon with some of the groat, banks, and ob
tained offers of assistance to stop the run
whioh was threatening to spread to the
greater financial spheres. The newspaper#
gave loyal aid to check the panto, abstain
ing from every hint of possible disaster,
and giving prominence to ovary reassuring
statement the bankers wished to circulate.
Their position leaves the public half con
vinced that all is right, though just cause
for anxiety exists everywhere. Throughout
England, there are 2,700 building societies,
with liabilities of over £50,000. Many of
them are known to be utterly insolvent. If
tha panio brings no further disastrous de
velopments, one result will bo an amend
ment to the law under which they are al
lowed to exist.
A “GIGANTIC STEAMER.
A Veaeel to Be Built That Will Beat

(Covvriaht, 1882, by the N. Y. Associated Frest.)
London, Sept. 16.—The White Btar

65 feet inch beam, and 4,500 horse
power. It is calculated that she will steam
twenty-two knots an hour, with a maxi
mum speed of twenty-seven knots. She
will have three screws, two fitted like the
Majsstio’s and the third In the oenter. She
is to be ready for sea in Maroh, 1894.
THE ALARM BUBBIDED.
£1,578,000 Paid Out 81nce the Run

London, Sept. 16.— The manager of the
Birkbeok Bank announces that from Sept.
2, when the London and General Bank and
Liberator Building Society sus
pended, till yesterday, £1,578,000
was withdrawn from the Birkbeck Bank and
£250,738 received. The fact that over £50,-
000 was reoeivel at the bank tc day, de
clares the manager, shows that the alarm
has subsided.
Provident Bank ttuspends.
London,Sept. 16. —The London Provi
dent Bank, a combination bank and build
ing society, suspended payments to-day.
The stoppage is asoribed to a run by deposi

The liabilities of the bank amounts to
£178,000. It is expected that the assets wilt
cover all the indebtedness.

THE CHIEF JUSTICESHIP.
Judge Bleckley to Hava Opposition
in Judge Gobar.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 16. —It Is now al
most a certainty that Chief Justice Bleckley
will have opposition in hit candidacy for re
election before the next legislature. Judge
George F. Oober of the Blue Ridge circuit
will be his opponent, it has been known
for some time past that Judge Gober
aspired to the supreme beuoh, aud bis atti
tude in the noted Ryan case, when he sent
Ryan to jail for ooutempt, was, at the time,
considered as a stepping-stone to reach pub
lic approval. At that time it was thought
that Judge Bleckley would not
offer tor re-election, and when
be announced some weeks ago
that be was a candidate, Judge Gober was
expected to relinquish his aspiration for a
time at least. But this has not been the
case, and it now comes from a very relia
ble souroe that ho is making a still
hunt tor tbe ermine of the chief justioe. If
he secures a reasonable number of votars’
pledges Judge Gober will carry the conteet
before tbe legislature, but those who
olatrn to be acqualuted with the plan of his
campaign say that he will not ba openly
kuowu as a candidate.
