A Washington dispatch of Saturday says: Attorney General Miller is of the opinion that there is no foundation for the protest made by Governor Abbott, of New Jersey, to President Harrison against the use of Sandy Hook for a temporary detention place the passengers from the cholera infected ships at lower quaran¬ tine. The protest was referred by the president to the attorney general for his opinion, and his reply will be made, if it has not already been done, in accordance with the above.

The Maine sta f e election for the choice of governor, four congr ssmen and members of the legislature, occurred Monday under the Australian ballot law, and, as far as learned, everybody appears satisfied with the working of the new system.

A SHIP LOAD OF CHOLERA. The Scandia Arrives in New York with the Epidemic on Hoard. Another ship, the Scandia, of the Hamburg line, arrived in lower New York bay Saturday with the deadly cholera microbe on board. Thirty-two of her passengers succumbed to the disease during the voyage and their corpses were thrown into the sea. She had nearly 900 immigrate on board, among whom the pestilence is epidemic, and her arrival created somewhat of a panic in the city, and the gravest fears are enter tertained that the scourge will eventually break through the cordon. All that money and skill can accomplish is being done to confine tho loathsome trouble to the quarantine grounds. forwarded Governor An appeal was to Flower, Friday, by a committe repre the first and second cabin passengers of tho steamer Normannia, now in quaran tine at the port of New York. Among the things the report says: cheerfully submit to such “As good citizens we deemed by detention as may be necessary the sanitary experts for the preservation while undergo¬ of the public health, tout we hold that ing such necessary detention, we are entitled at the hands of the authorities to as much care and protection against infection as any other body of healthy citizens; as any persons inno¬ cent of crime, and suffering discomfort rbdUbfed to a minimum,and to this end no expense should be spared or reasonable precautions neglected. But measures have not been taken, and live hun¬ dred persons, mostly citizens of the United States, have been exposed to the infection to to their own danger and the danger of the public." INCREASING IN HAMBURG. Dispatches of Sunday state that the cholera epidemic continues to rage in Hamburg, and hundreds of persons are daily being ssricken with the pestilence, growing and the total of the death list is appallingly larger and larger. Saturday there were reported 810 fresh cholera cases, 257 deaths and 457 interments, and on Sunnay 798 fresh cases, 281 deaths and 492 interments. In Havre, France, eight new cases of cholera and five deaths were reported Saturday. show that 2,837 The cholera statistics new cases of the disease and 1,869 deaths occurred throughout Russia Saturday, In St. Petersburg during the same time eighty-one new cases and thirty deaths were reported.

At Wilkesbarre, Penn., a miner named Thomas Conlan, fell from the top of the hoisting shaft of the Woodward breaker to the Aground, a distance for of 253 broken feet, and was not hurt except a arm and a few bruises. His fallow employes, who expected to see him crushed by the dreadful violence of his fall on the rock, were«*’.stounded to see him rise and say that he thought his arm was broken.—[New Y’ork Journal.

Mayor McDonough of Savaunah, on Tuesday, telegraphed the mayor of De¬ troit to express Savannah’s desire to be a party to a petition to be presented by the cities of the United States to the presi¬ dent asking that immigration into the United States be stopped for ninety days. Twenty city governments, it is stated, have so far endorsed the petition. The weekly report of the director of the weather bureau for South Carolina says: “This has proven a very disastrous week to the cotton plant in a large area of the state. Drought, with warm days, cool, cloudy, dewless night, have com bined to bring about a complete collapse in the cotton crop, withering and blight ing all £ younw ° pods r from blooms to half grown „ doiis i, .

Official Reports „ Declare , it Completely _ , , , Stamped Out. A London cablegram of Friday says: j Official reports show that the cholera has been absolutely stamped out of the United Kingdom. Local government board officers, authorities at the chief ports and the greatest populous centers of CO ncur in the statement that no cases rea [ cholera, but only a few choleraic cases, have occurred. Experts say that though the disease was brought to Eog [ aa< i a t a dozen different joints, it has been limited to persons arriving from in fected places. trade is very good Considering the General Prevalence of the Cholera Scare. R. G. Dun & Co.’s report says: Last week’s semi panic in stocks and grain h> s been followed by a more confident feel¬ ing about the cholera, as it is seen the pestilence is thus far co< fined to incom¬ ing strips by national regulations, which all officials are now respecting. More¬ over, even if the disease should appear on shore in scattered cases, the vigorous measures taken by the thoroughly warned and aroused people would be likely to restrict and suppress it as it has been thus far kept down in England. Hence there is much less apprehension regard¬ ing the possible effects of the disease this year before cold weather comes, aud stocks have advanced 75 cents a share on the whole, though in other markets the alarm disclosed a weakness which still continues. Meauwhile the general condition of in¬ dustries aud of trade throughout the country is not only remarkably good, but improving perceptibly from week to week, although exports of merchandise are not yet large enough to prevent some exports of gold. Trade in dry goods exceeds expectation, being unusually strong at the west aDd better than last year at the south, and is especially good in silks, ribbons and dress goods. The iron trade has improved; business in hardware and tobacco is fair, and in liquors very good. At Louisville and Nashville the trade improves, crop prospects being better. At New Orleans business has somewhat improved, but is not up to expectations. Sugar is very strong, rice unsteady and money stiff, though in ample supply. The iron industry grows in re active; nearly all the works are full of orders, and the output is now heavy. Nails have advanced 10 cents per keg. The expect¬ ed war between the Pennsylvania and Reading railroads adds to the dullness in coal. Cotton has advanced a sixteenth during the week. With restricted ex¬ ports of products at present foreign ex¬ change is steadily strong, but the $200,000 treas¬ ury has put out of new notes more than it has added to its stock of gold and silver, and money markets throughout the country are amply sup¬ plied, while collections in all quarters are very fair for the seasou. Business failures throughout the coun¬ try during the corresponding last seven days number 146; for the week last year. 187.__ GROWTH OF THE SOUTH. i ndlist rial Development ’ for the Fast Week, .Tho iron market for the past week shows jnnen more encouraging. In structural iron and steel there is a decided advance, and con¬ uiderable enquiry is reported. The lumber mar ket continues active, with a steady and increas ing demand. Mercanti.e business is improving in the Southern cities, an l a considerably in creased demand is expected from farmers, who Forty-three new industries were established or incorporated during the week, together 19 with 10 enlargements of manufactories, and fin¬ portant new buildings.

A London cablegram to the New York Associated Press states that the failure of the House and Land Investment Trust, limited, announced Friday, is a part of a series of German bank and building so¬ ciety suspensions now involving liabili¬ ties approximating £6,000,000. The first failure announced in this scries was that of the London and General bank, limited; next that of the Liberators’ Permanent Building and Investment Society,and now comes the suspension of the House aDd Land Investment Trust. The nominal cap¬ ital of each of the concerns does not rep¬ resent anything approaching the liabili¬ ties. The money which they owe is ch efly due to depositors and investors who had been induced to participate in the affairs 0 f j. t , e concern8 p y the alluring high rate of interest which they offered. The lia bilities of the London and General bank are roughly estimated £1,000.000; those of the Liberator Society a: £2,500,000, and those of the Hous- and Land Trust a t £2,000,000. Another great bunding and bank society is involved in serious financial difficulties, but its suspension has not yet been announced, A MONUMENT over the grave of *une* Fletcher, a veteran of the Revolution, was unveiled a few days ago. on the Charlton River, twelve miles from KirksviUa, Mo. COTTON AND GRAIN. Report of tie Department ot Airictim tor September. The Condition of Cotton Lower Than for Niue Years Past. The cotton report of the department condi¬ of agriculture indicates a lower tion of the crop than in any September since 1883. The average is78.8, against The 82.7 last year, and 85 5 in 1890. decline since August 1st exceeds five points. The state averages are: Vir¬ ginia, 75; North Carolina, 76; South Carolina, 77; Georgia, 79; Florida, 66; Alabama, 72; Mississippi, 72; Louisiana, 76; Texas, 81; Arkansas, 79; Tennes¬ see, 79. On the Atlantic coast the rainfall of the season has not been excessive, but it has been unequally distributed. Heavy rains in the early season, followed by a drought later, have caused the shedding of forms and leaves. Premature ripening and rotting of the bolls, delayed plant¬ ing,, slow germination and obstructed cultivation were the results of a seas u of excessive precipitation, making the crop universally late. On the gulf coast the rainfall has been above the normal except in Texas and Arkansas, and the condition is conse¬ quently worst east of the Mississippi. In August local droughts were injurious on portions or the Atlantic coast breadth, in some districts of Arkansas and iu Texas. Rust, the natural result of these condi¬ tions, is reported quite generally iu the districts of heavy and irregular rainfall. Considerable complaint is made of in¬ sect depredation. The boll worm lias infested the gulf coast region aud is seen in Georgia, but it is little known in the more northern belt. The caterpillar tho is noted in Texas and at a few points made in of other stutes. Some complaint is insects, grasshoppers and of hemipterous popularly known as sharpshooters. TOE GRAIN REPORT. Tho September average of the condi¬ tion of winter aud spring wheat as bar vested is 85.3. The September condi¬ tion of corn is 79.5, a decline from 82.5 ■ in August. The change is slight in the surplus corn states, except in Kansas. The present condition is 79 iu Ohio; 75 in Indiana; 70 in Illinois; 78 in Iowa; 82 in Missouri; 70 in Kansas, and 76 in Nebraska. In other stabs the average of condition is everywhere higher than the national average except in Michigan and Wisconsin, In comparison with September reports of the past ten years, only three were lower. The crop is well grown and ma¬ turing rapidly, without frost as yet in the eastern statesl In the middle states drought has injured corn, especially in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In Ma¬ ryland and Virginia the draught also caused a serious reduction, wnile from South Carolina around to Texas tho high condition is well maintained. Rains in most of this region have interfered with cultivation and in some districts the rot¬ ting of ears is reported. In Texas aud Arkansas good yields are assured, and a fair crop is made iu Tennessee. Corn has improved in central Ohio and declined from drought in the southern counties. A decided improvement is re¬ ported iu Indiana. There has been in¬ jury from drought in Michigan, Uliuois aud Kansas, and in a less degree in Mis¬ souri nnd Iowa, The crop is late throughout the northwest, No injury from frost is reported. In the south the v.heut berry was generally very plump and sound when hurvcsted, but has been damaged somewhat by prevalent rains. The condition of other crops is as fol¬ lows: Oats78.9; rye 88.5; barley 87.4; buckwheat 89; potatoes 74.8; tobacco 79 9. This is a heavy reduction in everything except rye and barley. THE BEHRING SEA QUESTION. Exchange of Papers Between the Two Governments. A Washington dixputch of Thursday says: The second phase of the Behring sea arbitration has been passed iu safety and closed Wednesday with an exchange of the case between the agents of the principals. The preparation of the orig¬ inal case for the United States has largely engaged the attention of Secretary Foster himself. It is a historical collection of all the facts and correspondence re¬ lating to the Behring sea question. The next phase will be an exohange of coun¬ ter arguments between the two govern¬ ments before December 7th. Senator Morgan, the only one of the two United States arbitrators this country, has been supplied w' a a copy of the British case and the representatives of the Uni¬ ted States gov rnment have already be¬ gun to semtiniae documents with a view to the preparing British argument. a counter case or reply to Public Debt Statement. The public debt statement issued at Washington Saturday shows a decrease of $153,215 in the interest and non in¬ terest bearing debt. Total cash in the treasury, $781,514,982; net cash balance, $29,152,344; increase during certificates the month, $2,102,058; decrease apd treasury notes outstanding, $4,220,273; total debt, including certificates Certifi¬ aud treasury nobs, $1,582,081; total cates and treasury notes outstanding, offset by equal amount of cash in th« treasury, $615,455,530; net debt, $967,- 226,449.
