C., Aug. 27.—The Treas- wry depirtment is acting promptly on all matters that have a bearinz on the cnolera opidemic and nothing will be left undone that may tond to keep the infection from the sh re. of this country. To all intents and pu poies there now exists a national quar- antiae, the co-operation of the national ana state authorities resultiug in the formation ©0!a ¢yrdon which will make it extremely dificult tor a case of cholera to reach the shores of the United States. Surgeon General Wyman of the marine hospital service is now considering a propo- sition to continue the inspection of baggage through the warmer pact of the winter. The Treasury department requested the Navy department to loan the marine hospital service un old hulk or abandoned vessel of some kind to be used asa hospital at tho Cape Charles quarantine station. The Navy department, however, was unuble to comply- with the request, as there was nothing of the kind available, To Be Fitted Up as n Hospital, Secretary Charles Foster has turned.over to the marine hospital service, the old revonue eutter Ewing, now tied up at Baltimore, and she will bo taken to the Chesapeake bay quarantining station, where she wilt bo anchored off shore and will be fitted up for & hospital, so that if any cholera patients ave found aboard any of the incoming ships they will not have to ve 1anded for treatment in the hospitals here, but can be kept entirely 1solated on board the Ewing. It1s probable the ing will be retawned permanently by the marine hospital service ss a hospital ship at Capo Charles station. It1s evideut that the people living along the Causdian border und those furiher south, who would suffer most by reason of the introduction of cholera from Cauada, are uppretiensive that the disease may enter the United States unless stringeat precautioss ave taken to prevent it. Two telegrams oa the subject were voceived at ‘tne Treasury department during the evening. Oue of them was addressed to Acting Secretary Bpalding, from C. L. McArthur, editor of the Troy (N. Y.) Budget. It suid: “The cholera ¢ime to Troy in 1832 and 1533 and luter via Montreal and wus very disastrous, Will you take aay measures, and if 5o what, 1o prevent it crossing from Cauada, where foreign vessels ara now arriviug from 1n- fectaa ports? Please unswer by wire today.” The tecond dispatch was from Dr. Coarles N. Huat, formerls ofticer of the state board -1 health of Miouesota, and was ad- Qressed to Superintendent Owen of the im- migration buresu, 1t mado inquiry concern- ing tho inspecticn of immigrants at the Soo canal and Grand Haven, and suggested that such iaspection should be wade and 1mmedi- ataly.

Tho oficials of tho White Stir lino tele- gruphed the department today asking whether the steamer Teutonie, which 15 expected to arrive at New York soon, would be aetained Btguarantine.

USNEUESSARY ALARM. Conditions Unfavorable for the lutroduc. tion of the Pest Into England, it 1s Snid, [Copyrighted 1822 by Jamos Gordon Bennett.] Losnoy, Aug. 27.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Bre.]—There seems to bave been a determined effort on the parc of several newspapers to createa cholera panic in England. Every suspicious case of iliness is seized upon and forthwith pronounced an unquestionable specimen of Asiatio cholera. Reports to the contrary are all found outside of tho columns of these papers. There 1s not much indication of cholera panie, and I do not believe the prophesies of these sensation mongers will be realized. No one can deny that there is a grand fleld for grand ravazes of Lho pest in this thickly populated cast end district of London, but 1t is true that the authorities are devoting their @iergy to thoroughly overhauling every house, clening rooms and making a vigorons seach for refuse, in order to bs fully pre- pared for the reception of tho unwe come guest 1f it should arrive. The thermometer today stood at 67, and this cannot be the sort of weather conducive toa general attack by tho enemy. So far the disease has appeared only av our door, and in each instance there has been imme- diate isolation, quarantine and disinfection, which gives strength to the hope, as in past experiences, that the further spread of the coutageon noed not bo apprehended. 1learn that Admiral Hopkins, commander of the chief British North American station, has been instructed to take his euntire squadron with tie Blake as flag ship, to Hampton Roads next April, and participate in the subsequent naval review at New York. 'Thisis in response to an invitation from Washington. BLUMENFELD. NO ABATE! T IN HAMBURG. ase—Situution at Other Ports.

The work of disinfecting now pro- ceeds with energy. Forty companies or pri- vate firms are employed in tho task. Altona is suffering from drouth, which it is feared will stimulate the epidemic. The Standard’s Berlin dispatech says: From forty to sixty deaths daily have oc- curred here in the last week from dysentery. mostly due to the drinking of iced liquors und to the intense heat, The hotels are full of Hamburgers.

Statements were read from Prof. Koch and Counsellor Rahts, togethoer with a geueral report to the govern- ment of the whole health condition in Ger- muny. Hoth tha statements and the report wore reassuring, aithough Prof. Koch thinks the worst period of the epidemic in Hamburg and Altona has not yet passel, The authorities of Hamburg and Altona are blamed for concealiug the presence of the disoase. The first outbreak ocurred in Humburg as far back as August 14, and at Altona on August 18, During a whole week vessels left Hamburg under clean bills oy health, although the authorities knew tho epidemic was daily growing worse. Will Publish Daily Health Bulletins, The imperial health office, recognizing the value of utmost publicity, is making arrange- ments to publish daily a health record of Berlin and other centers, reporting all cases of cholera and kindred diseases. Diarrhoeal disease and dysentery, which are rathor rife hero, and which are apt to alarm people, will have the especiul attention of the doc- tors, Mr. Edwards, the American consul gen- aral hers, has vaken the uecessary steps to Kkeep tho State department at Washington informed of the situation throvghout Ger- many, The health office promises to furaish him with all the information it receives. The consuls within Edwards’ jurisdiction have been ordered to kesp a sharp lookout and to report by cable to Washington with- out delay any cases of cnolera occurring 1n their districts, Mr. Charles Johnson, the consul at Ham- burg, was visiting Berlin with his family when he learned that Hamburg bad been at- tacked. He atonce raturned to his post. Scrupulous care is now taken at Bremen and Hamburg, The inspection is oxtending, not to emigrants alone, but to the crews of vessels and all passengers. Spreading Rapidly in Hamburg, Tonight's advices leave every vopulous place in Germany free from Asiatic cholera, excopt Humburg, where Prof. Koch's pro- dietions regarding the spread of the plague are being fulfilled. Tae disease hias now spread over the whole city and to the sub- urbs. A doctor, with a number of hospital assistants has left Berlin to assist the Ham- burg doctors. The ambulance service and the means for the rapid burial of the vietims have been greatly augmented. 'The exodus of the wealthier tlamburg tamilies is now proceeding on a large scale. Though the leading thoroughfares present tneir usual as- pect, the shopkeepers declare that business is stagnant. Many of them would close their shops, butara prevented through fear of adding to the public depression, which wants but little to become an absolute pani Wktile many nave fled, other prosperous citizens are doinz much personally and through agents to relieve families who have been stricken or who are meaaced through want of nourishing food. Open-Handed Charity. Douations offered, disinfectants and medi- caments are plentiful. Brandy, in which the mass of tne people beliove, despite the doctors’ opinions to the contrary, 1s supnlied eratuitously though in small doses at many pluces. Never inthe history of Hambury has the hana of charity been so open. ‘The people of Barlin are forming an abso- lute cordor around Hamburg, Altona and tho mouths of the Bibe. This 15 a cowardly and panicky 1dea aud would be a maorciless restriction upon those within the cholera area, while it would be utterly ineffective. A sharp watch is kepton cases occurring in Hungary and Austria, The emdemic around Prossburg in Hunzary appears to be faling. A ouwberof choleric cases have been reported at Wiener Neustads, at Soller n Austria, and even in Vieuna itself, whero the rapidity of the deaths are susvestive of Asiatic cholera, In the meantime the Aus- trian doctors declare that the post-mortem examizations do not disciose the prosonve of Asiatic cuolera. The health oftice hero relies implicitly upon the oficiai comwmunications regardiog the disease received from Vienna, Opposed to Russia Communications which bave taken place butween the leaders of tue center party bhave resulted tn an agceement that that party in the Reichstag will oppose any increaso in the war budget, and that it will also oppose any commerclal couvention with Russia tending to be prejudicial to German agricultural in- terests, The negotiations with Russia over a cowmmercial treaty though slow, are sure. ‘T'he results are officially expected to be placed before the Reichstag before the Curistmas adjournment. A bighly informed financial sutbority believes that Russia wili outain a concession recalling the probibition aganst the Rolehbank advanclug money on Russian securities, A potition from the land owners ana farwers in Silesia has been the government to maiutain the different duties upon Russian wheat, to pluce & heavy tariff ou RRussisn catile and to maintain the freleht rates Lo Russia, ana generally to con- cede nothing that will wake u troaty possi- ble.

The fire starting in the basement cut off escape by the stairways and the work of rescue was extremely difficult '‘and hazardous. The cause of the tire is not known. J.

Some peopls may s “Why is so much fuss mada about Mr. La- bouchere? Is he a person of any influence?” The answer must be that he is, whether you regard him as & member of parliament or ae a journclist. In the former capacity ho is very industrious and familiar with all the forms of the house, a ready though ot polished speaker, and a most per- nicious oppoucnt. He holds fast when ounce he has got his teeth on, and there is no shaking bim off. He manages to amuse the House, and therefore ho is sure of obtaining a hearing. Asa critic of expenditures on royal palaces, pensions, allowances and simi lar charges he is fearless and some would say reckless. He's a Terror with Tongue or Pen. He gives utterance toall the nastiest things ho can thiuk of, and nobody 1s too high or too low for nis lash, once he falls foul of anybody. Then his vower is increasca by tha fact that he is the sole proprietor of ‘Truth, which now has the largest circulation of all society papers, He has shown up & good man rascals aud successfully resisted doz- ens of livel suits.

In the House of Commons smoking roow ho is always the centre of a listening throng, for ho never fails tobe amusing. Such o man generally gets into ofiice when hig party is in power, and Mr. Laoouchere fully expected it. Why was he passed over? He Was Wrong This Time, In accounting for this Labby rushed head long into a fatal error and wrote a letter de- claring that the queen refused to ronsider his name because of his attacks on the royal grants, I was in a position to inform you at the moment that he was wrong and that Mr. Gladstone nover submitted his name to the aqueen, Sir Charles Ditke began his career by attacking the queen in a peculiarly offensive manner. That did not prevent him besom- ing & minister of the crown. The queen has 10small resentments. She lives down attacks ana forgets her assailants. Mr. Gladstone has behaved with perfect propriety in this disagrecable business, fHe bas wriiten & letter to Mr. Labouchere taking upon himself the complete responsibility of what has oc- curred, and rebuking him for betrayiug nis contidential communications. abby s Having His F All the journalists have been after “Labby’ to get hold of this letter.

[Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Bennott.] Panis, Aug. New York Herald Cable Special to Tue Ber.)—The most important event of the weok from a Frouch point of view has been the reunion of the concells generaux, which had begun to bo held at the end of Jul, The concells generaux are little departmental asscmblies, which previ- ously used to occupy themselves only with the affairs of the soveral departments, such as looking afior ronds, bridges, asylums, and 80 on. Now, howover, these administrative bodies are begluning little by little to aevel- ope into political macbines. They are, in fact, little parliaments, whose members imi- tate oxactly the proceodings in the big pars liamont. They have learned the artof ad- minstration, the moaning of the budget, and above all the powea of the voter. This yoar half of the departments baing organ- ized, tko counceils generaux, however, are are not quite so owerful when wo como to consider that there are eighty-six dopart- ments, At the first session of a general council in each department the president makes & speach and all, or nearly all, tho other mem- bers say something before adjournment, The republican success in the elections of July 81, 1502 marks a political rovolution which bad been going on sinco 1871, bring- ing the country into line with republican in- stitutions, The republic is in its twenty- fivst vear, and therefore has attained its majority. The conseils generaus elections have resulted in showing once again that the republicans have not only not lost one inch of conguered t tory, but that they have won again in & certain number of dopart- ments where hitherto the mujority belonged to the reactionary party. Tnere has been a change, and there remains not more than five or six depurtments whore the consorva= tives have yet a majority. ‘That triumph which created a republic with @ great responsibility and new duties ought to be progressive. **You must,” said a prosiaant in address- ing tho young men, *‘prepare vourselves by every means in your power for a liberal and paternal republic.” It 1s at tho option of the country. France desires peace interiorily as well as exteriority, but there are poople who repre- sent France who would bring trouble on her by a fete. That sort of thing won't do any more. Jacques St Ceni.
