Factions in the Empire State asni Ma a

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-Grover Cleve
land, accompanied by Don M. Dckin
son and Privaee Secretary O'Brien, ar
rived in this city by the river steami r
Pilgriu this morning. There was only
the usual crowd or poeple gathered at
the dock to meet relatives or friends
and but few recognized Cleveland who,
accompanied by Dickinson and O'lrien,
walked quickly to the road way of the
pier, where they entered a carriage. It
was understood that they went direct
to the house of ex.Secretary Whitnoy.
Cleveland's departu.,e from Gray Ga
bles was a great surprise and the fict
of his intended Vibit to New York was
not learned until after the party left
Buzzard's Bay. Dickinson arrived
there at noon, and alter the two or
three hours' conft rence with Clt velad
the party boardet the 5 o'clock tri in
for Boston. .le cimesouheroat Dick
inion's request in order to corisult i ti
some old Democritic leaders. lie u ill
probably rumaii. here only a day or
two.
Cleveland drove to the Victoria 110
tel, where lie eng. fed rooms for to-dav
and to-morrow. lie will return to
Buzzard's Bay Sa. irday. I[is first call
er today was Sent!.or Brow u. The lat
ter was soon alte. found by Wilson S.
Bissell and I). Cady flerrivk. The
throe had a long conference with the
ex-President. 6e ittor 13rowa said to
day to a reporter: I have no doubt but
that Senator 1111 will come around all
right as will all %Iho were opposed to
Cleveland's nom-nation. Hill may be
called peculiar bu t he will 0c found in
the right place ,vheii the caapaign
ends. The Demwrats are gett ing to
gether everywhero and the outlook is
bright'.
W m. C. Whitt y had a long conver
sation this morniag with Edward Mur
phy, Jr., in the lloffiau 11ouse, and
afterwards went over and cioseted with
Chairman Sheehan of the Demriocra tic
I lommittee.
At 7:30 Lieutenant Governir 6hee
ban, Richard Croker and Edward Mur
phy Were the distinguished trio, who
as far as could be Iearned, made th,iir
first call on Cleveland since his arrival.
Whitney's messenger had been around
the hotel from early in the evening.
Ile was non-committal as to whettier
Whitney was up stairs. lie said, how.
ever, that he had been with the vx
President since 2 o'clock.
Those present at the dinner we--e:
Cleveland, Richard Croker, Lieutenant
Governor Sheehan, Edward Alurpmy,
Jr., Don M. Dickinson and William U.
Whitney. A still later arrival % as
i1chard W. Gilder. Dinner was tot
concluded until 11:30 o'clock. Whit
ney said they had a very pleasant d n
ner, and that Clevelan:i and all were
well pleased with the outlook. From
all that could be gathered firom varicus
sources the result of the conferer ce
that lasted until midnight was that a
treaty of peace was signed between the
two factions of the lemocracy in the
State, and it is said that Senator Hill
and his representatives have been pia
cated, and that the Senator will speak
in the coming campaign.
Cleveland's plans are not settled. IIe
will probably remain at the hotel until
tomorrow night and perhaps later.
There were six distingulshed Demo
crats who sat down to dnnr at 7.451
o'clock to what all orthodox Democrats
hoped would be a love feast. One of
tW latest arrivals at dinner was Wilon
Bissell of Buft'alo, &leveland's~ old time
law partner. IIe reached the hotel at
9:45 and proceeded &t once to t he dining
hail. Senator Brice sent up is card at
9 and received a reply that Cleveland
was at dinner andi the card would be
presented in a few minutes. He did
not wait. lie said, however, that he
did not attach any especial significacee
to the dinner. "Of course," he added,
"where big fish splash in the wa:.er
there wvill always ne more or less ripl,10.
I1see however, nlc cause at the present

Prof. Herman Biggs, who is it
charge of the division of pathology anI,(
bacteriology of the health department
has been at work making bacteriologi

taken from the bodies of these suspect

health department this afternoon thi
res'lt of an examination, and an
niouinced unelietitatingly that the casef
were Aniatic cholera, beyond a doubt..
The medical commissioners of thi
Health Iloard, Dr. Bryant, said to-day
"I tio not t' ik that the disease wil
become ep *cmic." This, lie says, I:
almost asst ed, from the fact that ni
sispicious Ises have occurred, sinc4
Yesterday. 'There seems to be bu
ittle danger," said Dr. Bryant, "so fai
imd the public need not be alarmed
N,very precaution has been taken bi
.he Board of Health to combat ani
.rush the disease wherever it may ap
pear."
Dr. Edson of the bureau of conta
?ious diseases was also of the opinioi
that there will be no cholera epidemi
iere. "I think its spread wilt be les
than the typus fever," said he. "As t
where the cholera came from, it is th
iestion we are trying to solve. It i
m the city, and it must have come frou
5omo outside source. It must hav
passed some quarantine. I think tha
before twenty-four hours we will hav
run down the direction from whicl
Lht disease came. There may be case
Af sporadic cholera over the city, but
think the disease will be speedily over

NEW Yoic, Sept. 12.-The dangei
t of an ivasion of cholera has for the mo
ment sunk into the background and to.
day the quesbion uppermost in the min.
of the public has been, is the State in
possession of Fire Island or is the com
mand of the situation still held by riot
iug baymen who refuse to permit th(
State to take its own? Events have fol
lowed so swift upon one another's heel
that it is -hard to understand the situa
tion from the disjointed reports received
Meanwhile tbe Norinanuia's passen
gers, and to a de-rec the other quaran
tited pa%sengers, are being tossed fron
place to place, and pl)urently are des
I tined, like the crew ot the Flyi.jg Dutch

the situation Is brought Governoi
Flower to the scene, and the iigorous,
decisive way in which he is pro,eedin!
bids fair to right, iatLers and bring ordei
out of the pressent tangle. In brief, tht
events 01 the day have been the aU
sembliug of an armed furce ' baymen
who have prevented landiugs at Yire
Island, the issuance of an injunction t
restrain the State authorities from land

that the boat Cepheus, i ith passengern
- from the Normaonia aboard, was atFiri

The Commercial Advertise, this after,

Bay cathoats, sharpies, sloops and othei
small boats, each with ten or more imeo
and boys on board, were under weigh al
daybreak this morning sailing from al,
points on (eat South Bay towards Fire
Island. .In all the boats, every mac
who had or could borrow a gun or pistol
brought it with 'aim and the entire flotilli
carried, lperhajs, a thousand armed
men. O' these live or six hundred came
from Patchogu, Sayville and the coun

Shore and perhaps as many from Baby

Lottie Collins, the boom (de ay singer
who was on the Norinannia, stood in
the first row of passengers that lined
the decks of the Cepheus, put out botti
hands and cried: "Shame, shamat
upon you who call yourselves Ameri.

backed frout the dock the English ac
tress waved her hand and .miled.
Al'er the Cepheui had anchoed a
boat was lowered and I'. T. Wall aud
Captain Ripple were rowed in it t,o the

to Iand. ie finally read his authority
from Dr. Jenkins.
Supervisor Young replied: "I do not

"B1ut we have not a sick person oil

"W%Ve thinok of our own women aud

"Yankee Doodle."
The boat came olf again, however,
and Wall asked to hiave provisions sent

but a greater number an4wered: "No,
no, no, give them niothina. let them go

A special from lire Island says:
At 2:45 p. i. the Cepheus reached
a dock, which was densely crowded with
Islip c*tizens arned With shot guns,
clubs, ect., who pi evented the line
from the boat being attached. The cap
tain backed out, turned around again
and attempled to land. In this he was
usuccessIul, allthough a man aboard
shouted they had Governor Flower's
order to laul. This afternoon the
Cepheus was lying at anchor. The
crowd knew of the iujunction issued.
Lawyer Eugene Peztel of Babylon,

two police oflicers rowed to the land

Dr. Voight. The mob refused to al.

and drove the police off with threats.

It was rowed by two policemen and in
the stern stood a gray-haired man
Robert M. Thompson. Thompson ask

were suffering from hunger, exposure

would return to the steamer after a
night's rest and one meal.
Attorney Williard P. Reidl answered
that if the captain would come ashore
the p)eopie to whom lie spoke would
considler the address.
"Citizenis," said Senator McPherson
at last, "Thle cnptain declines to come

situation.
SIlIe said that there was a considerable
demand among the masses of the Re
publican party for the nomination of a
8tate ticket, but as State chairman'
did not care to state a preference fr
against nominations.
If nominations were made h6
1they would of course result in the bri.
inlg out of the full Republican vote (sI
the State. Hie did not knew of any
part,icular candidates, but felt aurb that
if nominations were made a good ticket
could be easily selected. .
lie stated that the convention would
have to nominate Presidential electors
andl elect a new State chairman for the
lIepublican party for the next two
yearsa. Whlether ;Brayton's supporters
oftwo years ago will attempt to rally
this year and again place him at the
1head of the party remains to be seen.
