Ottawa, Sept. 2 G K. Foster, min
ister of finance, says that dispatches have
been received from the president of tbe
British Columbia Board of Trade protest
ing . against tbe indignities which tbe
British Columbia sealers have suffered at
'the bands ot the Russian authorities at
Vladivostok, and urging that the matter
be officially presented to the imperial
authorities without delay in order to se
cure redress. Mr. Foster declares it will
be impossible to inclnde the claims for
damages 'by British Columbia sealears
against Russia in tbe Behringsea arbitra
tion, as that arbitration would simoly
decide upon points between Great Brit
ain and tbe United States But be points
out that if the report of Russia's claim to
her present jurisdiction of 1000 miles in
Behriog sea is correct, it would greatly
wraken tbe cause of tbe United States,
as tbe Americans claim that by the pur
chase ot Alaska were acquired all Russia's
rights in Bebring sea.

New York, Sept. 4 Three large

Tbe health officers boarded - the three

Dr. Jenkins, -accompanied by Quaran
tine Commissioner Allen and Professor
Biggs, went to tbe lower quarantine tbis
morning, and on bis return it was learned
that tbe cholera bad claimed a number
of victims during the day. Tbe startling
lact was made pub ic that three deaths
bad occurred in board the Normania,
two on tbe Moravia and one on tbe Bu
gia. All the dead have been taken to
Swinburne island and cremated. It has
also been ascertained that six cases of the
disease were sent to Swinburne island to
dav. Tbe cabin passengers of tbe steamer
Normania have been transferred to Hoff
man is:and. The panic among them to
day is described by eye witnesses as
something frightful They cried out
against being confined to tbe pest ship,
and tbe ladies on board tbe vessel were
in the greatest terror. Tbeir fears were
relieved to a certain extent, uowever, by
tbeir rmoval to Hoffman Island. Tbe
commissioners describe the' terror pre
ya'liog among the passengers as of a
beart-rending character. There have
been some doubts' among tbe cabin pas
sengers as to .the presence of tbe dread
Disease on board the steamer, bat tbe
deaths and new cases which occurred to
day have brought terror to the bravest
hearts on board tbe infected vessel, and
now all fully recognize tbe fact tbat tbe
grim specter is in out midst. . .
Two
Children Whs Have Been- Ar
reted for BorKlary,
Minneapolis, Sept. 5. G;rl burglars
were abroad last night. Katie Hannon
and Mamie Crcssap broke into tbe resi
dence of Samuel Hill, while tbe family
were away, and proceeded to collect and
carry off such furniture and brie a brae
as they could handle. The neighbors
perceived that something was wrong, and
watched the premises. Tbe cirls came
out at tbe rear of tbe boose, loaded down
with rugs, silverware and other things.
Tbey hastened down tbe alley witb tbeir
plunder, but were pursued by a coach
man, who overtook them a block away.
The culprits were taken to tbe police
station, where they were formally arres
ted. I hey were quite vocng. but old
timers in crookedness. Katie Hannon is
16 years old and Mamie Cressay 15, and
small for ber age. Tbev ran away to
Chicago some time ago, and were sent
back bv tbe police. One of their schemes
for raising money is to go about begging
ror some cnurcn society, in tbe early
part of last week tbey went through tbe
lumber exchange on this mission and col
lected a large sum of money.
Three aieana of Entrance.
San Francisco, Sept. 5 The steamer
City of Panama was released from quar
antine this morning and docked. Quar
antine Officer Dr. Lawler said to day
"There are three directions from which
the cholera can enter California. It can
cross tbe Canadian border and thus gain
a foothold in Washington. We can tret
it from Alaska, as many Russians corns
from Vladivostock and Petropaulovsky,
ana it may come Irom Sitka aod Juneau.
From these latter points tbe disease could
reach Han Francisco direct. Then we can
get it via Panama. There is a German
line of steamers direct from Hamburg to
Aspmwali, and tbe Pacific Mail Com
pany's steamers touching there would be
sure to bring it bee if it ever reached
Central America. Tbe cholera will not
get into San Francisco if lean help it,
and these three routes I have mentioned
vill be vigorously guarded. No steamer
from Alaska, British Columbia or Pan
ama direct, -will be allowed to dock until
she bag been thoroughly fumigated."

The Pivotal Mate.
Huron, S. Sept. 4. Theodore
Roosevelt, chairman of the civil service
commission, was here last evening on bis
way to tbe Cheyenne Indian agency, to
witness tbe Indian Episcopal convocation
there to day, and to inspect the agency.
Referring to political matters, Mr. Roose
velt expieesed perfect confidence in tbe
success of be Republican party in New
York, but added that be had beet out of
tbe state, so long tbat be was not as fully
informed as be desired. He regarded it
as tbe pivotal state, and ' appreciates tbe
necessity ot continuous and earnest work
to throw it to the Republicans. He be
lieves tbe national committee will give it
proper attention,. and while be under
stands the situation quite fully, be is not
folly satisfaed to have tbe work pat in
New York tbat would give better results
elsewhere.- As to tbe northwestern states,
Mr. Roosevelt said they seem to be in
good fighting trim, tbeir chief anemy
being tbe People's party.'
A Novel Proposition. ,
New Haven, Conn., .Sept. S. In an
interview to-day relative to the approach
of tbe pestilence, Professor Totten re
marked tbat the chief danger lay in the
direction of Canada, owing to the inti
mate commercial relations existing be
tween tbe two countries, and tbe great
length ot boundary. He said there was
but one wav to effect a strict quarantine.
Tbst was to establish a military quaran
tine, pure and simple. . He said:
"My proposition is tbat at least 50,000
volunteers should be called for by tbe
president and dnly appointed throughout
tbe northern states, and that a like num
ber be mustered into the regnlar service'
aBd placed in permanent camps along tbe
hole 'border Tbe term ot enlistment
should be at least four months, so as to
t xtend into the season of permanent cold
weather." . .

Gold Store Keeley's Opinio.
Chicago, Sept. 3. Dr. Leslie E. Kee
ley said to-day: "It is my opinion that
the cholera will yet find lodgment in tbis
country. Tbe cholera germ is . easily
transmitted, and it is exceedingly diffi
cult to kill it. No quarantine on earth
can prevent its coming to this country.
The quarantine at New York is not even
approximately perfect, and no system can
ever be foand that will make tbis country
tree from .the invasion of this much
dreaded disease. Tbe germ can be car
ried in clothing, and even if a person bas
tbe strength to resist its attack, it may
be carried to some one who u not so ro
bust. Tbis coon try is not in as good
condition tor fighting cholera as are tbe
old countries. Tbe cities bere are not as
clean as tbe cities in Europe. New York
is unclean and Chicago is comparatively
filthy." . . -
