We want a sanitary expert to take charge of such measures on the ship. A greatdeal has buen done, but oxperts could do more, This fecling of neglect is demor- alizing.

ITS EVER INCREASING LIST OF CASES Government Officials Blamed for Allowing the Epidemic to Reach Its Present Proportions—Prof. Virchow Talks of Cholera and Contagion, [Copyrighted 1802 by James Gordon Rennett.] Hasbuke, Sopt. 7.—[ By New York Herald Cable—Special to Tiue Bek.|—The senate cholera commission, at a meeting today, de- cided to instruct the statistical buread to re- vise the cholera statistics of vhe medical bureau, as these showed @ discrepancy of over 2,000. In the twonty-four hours ending Septom- ber 6 at 10 a. m., 60) bodies were buried in one cemetery ; on the 5th inst. there were 674 new cases and 264 deaths in Hamburg. According to statements made by the Berlin sanitary commission the city of Ham- burg has voted a credit of 500,000 marks for the immediate expenses of the citizens. Itis said the committee collected in two days 825,000 marks, and further collections swell the totals to 400,000 marks. Much more, however, is needed. Maoy bodies brought from the hospitals have been buried as unknown dead, and rela- tives often do not know of theic death until duys after the burials. The medicai inspectors are blamed for allowing the disease to assume Buch propor- tions before notifying the authorities. Gross negligence is cortairly respoasible for the rapid increase of the epidewic. All the cases witkin 100 mi'es of Hamburg are nvariably proven to have been brought from there. Statistics just published by the statistical bureau for yesterday say there wore re- ported 702 new cases ana 833 deaths; of these cases and 179 deaths took place previous to yesterday. OPINION OF AN EXF What Prof. Virchow Has to Say About the Dangers of Chotera, [Copyrighted 152 by James Gordon Bennott. ] Panis, Sept. 7.—[New York Herald Cable pecial to Tur Bee.)— Prof. Virchow, who s just returned from Russia, devoted half an hour of his valuable time to a discussion of the cholera and kindred subjscts with me today. *In view,” said I, ‘of the great anx- iety which prevails in New Yorlk, will you oblige me with your opinion in regard to quaraatine?” “The anxiety is natural,”" replied the pro- fessor; *‘put your questions.” “First, thou, can cholera be shut out by quarantine?” “Yes,” was the cautious answer, “under certain conditions, which are seldom, if ever, met with, If quarantine were absolute, if countries could be closed hermetically, epi- demic diseases might be excluded. This wus shown in the case of Heligoland. For ten years at a time ships did not touch at the islund, and as a result we were secured from even common children’s scourges, scarlet fever and the like, unti ships began to revisit us. Give quarantine achance, howover. The strictest precau- tior:s shoula be taken atthe beginning, as well asatthe ond -of the journey. Euch traveler should be carefully examined be- fore going aboard. Hawburg officials have at last recognized the trutb of this princi- ple.” 9 Twenty Days Quarantine Unnecessary. *Is it necessary to impose a quarantine of twenty days on immigration?” “That seems an exaggetation,” said the professor. "It is generally held that ove s delay is sufficient.” “Can saloon passengers be safely quaran. tinea less strictly than steerage passengers?” ““T'hey are equally dangerous if they have been on intected vessels,” *Do you think it indispensable to shut up any passengers on such vessels?” “Not 1if they can ve landea very quickly without coatact with other people; but all depenas on circumstances. I have not been to New York. If, as you say, there are islands near at hand where passeugers could be directly transforrea it is needless to con- fine them Lo the ships.’” “Does any danger threaten the land from the vessels now detained at New York quar- antine?” Iasked, first explaining tho rela- tive positions of the plague-stricken steamers and Staten island. “Noue at all.” “I hear cholera cannot be transmitvsd through the air?” I will answor that by saying that we do not want to treat our Berlin cholera patients in the Moabit hospital, whioh I helpad found, and which, although it once stood in the middle of open fields, now almost touches the surroundaing houses,” How the Disease Is Communicuted, “Can cholera be communicated other than through dircet contact with excretai”’ “Oaly through oxcreta or vowit, but, re- memb r, there are many wayvs of coming in contact with both. The commonest medium of contagion is soiled linen. Boots and shoes may be a source of danger if ono bias steppou on a dirty, infected floor. Cholera may ulso be trausmitted oy the mouth on solled bhunds, On the Prusso-Russian fronti r, where I bave just had some ex- perience of Lho annoyances ot quarantine, an official whom I noticed moisteniog his fingers as ho counted a pile of Russian banknotes asked me if ne risked catcoing cholera. I aaswered, certainly, advising him to dip his tingers iu water instead of licking them." s it necessary to 1solate choleru-stricken houses " Noj only to isolate patieats, Oune of the bost disiufections is probably sublimate and carbolic acid, Afuer touching patients care should be tuken to wash oue's hands,” “Could cholera be spreud Lhrough the post” *Pardon me, for saying that a question of that sort invi a foolish answer. The point 15 no¢ what could or might oceur in theory— almost #uything is possivle—but what doos oceur. Ou acquittal of a certain Jew the other day au apoeal 1o bebalf of a testimonial fund was Issued. A geatleman who signed the appeal soon alter received u lowter cou- tuining a serap of fillby paver. From this you see how the cholern might be trunsmit- ted through the post. ‘Lo reassurs your couu- trsmen, said the professor, ot me remlad thew that the cholera is wuch less danger- ous thun diphtheris and other aiseases which causo less commotion.

SPUD FARRISH’S SENSATION. Robbed of a Diamond Stu He Catches th ief. Wasmivaroy, D.

Farrish of Omahais o guest of the National hotel aad is on his way to Virginia to visit his mother, who is dau- gerously ill at the ola family home. He was weary from his long ride and sat out 1in front of the hotel leaning his head on his hand and apparently asleep, He nhad in his scarf a baadsome diamond stud. A stranger, who bad seen this, pulled a chair up close to Farrish, and waltiag till most of the crowd around were not watching grabbed the stud and ran. Karrish jumped up and followed the thief, who ran up Sixth to E, down C to the avenue and Seventh street. It was & hard race, but Farrish 18 something of a sprinter and eaught the thief at the corner of Seventh street and the avenue. When he saw ho would be caught, the robber threw the diamond away.

He refused to tell what he had done with it, Mvr. Farrish values the stone at £375, and it is umprobable that he will ever see it agaio, In tho polica court this afternoon the thief pleaded guilty and Judge Miller neld him to the grand jury in default of a $3,000 bond.

The physical phenomeunon of these latter days, the man who has defeated the best men América, or the world, could produce, is a vanguished and humiliated hero, Thé magnificent giant was the victim of misplaced confidence, of erring judgment. His fame was susceptible of no additional lust: His triumphal march has reached the apex. His oup of persoanl joy, revenge, satisfaction and vindicatioa was already full to over- flowing. 2 Was a Fatal Mistake, It was a fatal mistake to wnveigle him to such irretrievable disaster. The greatest man modern or ancient athleticism ever pro- duced is tonight a hopeless wreck. He should bave retired witkin the flood ot his great glory and ended his days in prosperity, in peace and repose. His faculties for sub- sistence aud the welfare of those closest to him did not warrant furtber indulgence in the guestionable calling which had vested him in an armament of imperishabie fame. Poor John L! Greatest Fight Ever Watched, But to review the bloody combat. It was a bold ana scientific clash 0f nature’s arms, Such fierce onslauxhts; such nobie and im- pregnable defenso 1 never saw before, No two greater expononts of the art ever pulled on a pair of fizuting shoes, and it will be a long tume before such another pair will come together as con- fronted each other tonight for the first time. Man never gazed on two more maichiess liv- ing and breathing statues. Sullivan, Samson- esque in his physical grandeur: the Califol nian from the girthup an Apolloin alabasue Although Corbett looked next to perfection, ho was markedly overshadowed by Sullivan. 1 sat breatnless, almost, in my pew, with my face pressed close up to the ropes during the eatire twenty-one rounds, and noted wirh both mind and pencil every blow the Lwo giants delivercd or essayed to delwver, I studied closely oach man’s style of at- tack and defense, intent on not only the abalysis, but the result, and many times mv heart was in my mouth, [ felt that 1f Suliivan was defeated I would never want any more prize fighting in mine. For Vears 1 huve thought him the only one in bis class, and the most sterling, square and mauly pugilist on the globe. He bas numerous characteristics that trauscend those of any otner fistic gludiator, Qorbatt Meant Business. It would be an injustice to & gallant ring general and scientific man to say that Cor- bett was auything but courageous to the point of herowsm. He looked grave and seri- ous when Le entered the ring, as well ho might, for seemingly it was a most prodig- jous undertaking he had on band, but it was mere play for uim,- The mighty John Lawrence Sulllvan was 8 mere pigmy, He had no power of execution, and inconti- nently no defense. He was slow, blind ana inert, the most avject reflex of his old-time self. He was utterly incapable of reaching his spcy and youthful adversary. His feeble attewpts were piteous. On the other hand, Corvett’s blows were swift as bolts of elec- tricity, defs and of frightful impelling forco. Fought Like a Hurricane. Not once did be fail to find the point of 1npact, aund his crushing lunges micht well ve likenad to the battering rams of the days of Hanbibal and tho Coriutniuns, His ag- gression was something wondrous and fear- ful to benold, He would clinch his teeth and rush the senile and defenseless champion with @ speed, & dotermination and irrosisti- bility that could ouly sweep all before him, His rapid jabs, siraights, cross-counters and uppercuts were lightng-like, deadly and intensely savage. Jotin L. could only retreat and shieid his bleeding fuce and vruised stowach with hauds aud urms made of straw. No quality of wercy ever entered info Corbett's work, He was all-devouring, 1=catiablo as a fiend of some unhallowed urena, until every yes- tige of opposition had been swept away. He was the aggrosior in all the fizhting, and while his charges were furious and well timed, bis defense was lovulnerable, He would turn and twist and writhe from im- pending blows with & skill and quickness Lhat was murvelous, shifting first to this and then to that side and ducklug with the sup- pleness of & tiger. When Sulliyan's Glory Passed, It was i the twenty-tiret round that the Californian made the devastating rush that galned for him the honor of bewng the wightiest of men. He chased the big giant and while ona thunderbolt of a fist mas face tho other created a and a crushing of tho bonos and | grisuo of the'body. He never o ho aimed at, and pnm'h‘\llll\'nn'l“ was a piteous spectaclo indeed. down like a log—like & man strl bolt from ths heavens, e Tho Brobdigragian form lny motionless a momunt and then rolled overon his side. He raized bimself to his elbow and lifted up his ory head Lo the frenzied throng who, g0 shorta time ago, bowed in homage to his mighty name. Exhausod nature was incapa- bio of avything more, he crimson life-bload poured in torrents from his mouth and nostrils. Tnero wero groat red-stained xplotehos all about his struggiing body, The merviless shouts &l fierce joy from tho populace broke his heart, His massive arn weakeaned. He plunged forward and his gray head madea furrow in the tucardined sands. What Will e the Result? It is safo to say that instead of recciving renewed momentum by the champion’s an- nibilation, pugilism has recoived a blow that will taie {t years to recover {rom. Now for the closing scenes in und about tho arena when tne long arms of Referoe Duffy had stroked the fatal ten seconds. My unpretentions poncl is poworless to convey the siightest conception, Manlacal men tore through all barriers intu the ring aad fell upon the smiling Corbett with an avalanche of embraces, kisses and caressing, Tho blood-bespattered turf was in tho flash of an oye a bed of roses thrown there by the partisans of the young hero. Handreds of bouquets littered tho riog, while the wir was full _of flying hats and waving handkerchiefs. The scene was one of overwhelming joy and may vever bo witnessed again. On the way up town the streets were lined for miles and miles by fronzied men, women and children, almost to the exclusion of the right of way, The occupunts of the carriages, coupes, and hacks and cabs were guyed and jeerad by the crowding and jostling rabble, until their encroachments ap- eared actually alarming. The crowd tock or grauted Lhetevery man returning from the fight was a loser on Sullivan, and they found their delight in hooting and jeering. The St. Churles was actually boleiguered by w howling mob. SaNpY GRISWOLD. to the ropes, BEFORE THE BIG BATTLE, Scenes In and Around the Club House and on the Strects. RiNasior, Ouyspic CLun, NEw ORLEANS, L., Sopt. 7.—Tle excitement which provails in this city has had no parallel since tho Italian assassination. There has been no subject of conversation discussed in any qsarter save ihe event of the evening, in which every portion of the civilized world bas been more or less deeply intorssted. The crowds on the streets have growa day by day until tonight the aggregation of visitors was as great as the crowds of tne carniyal. The wait for evening was tiresome to all. There was a universal movement in the di- rection of the club room, even beforo tho shades of evening had begun to fail. For blocks and blocks carringes were strung along the curbstones. Ivery strect corner had w'ibrong, aud every throng chat- tered of the fight, or shot its eager glances into the hucks in search of notables of the day. Business men, lawyers, journalists took ‘their dinners downtown and had their vehicles ordered early. They were willing 10 wait at the club, but they were unwiliing to waste time going down. At 6 o’'clock car- riages were already heading down Canal street; it was crowded with people and vehicles, Down latersecting strects car- riages were rushing to the scenc of battle. Bvery avenue leading away from /the broad boulevard was black with people. The even- ing was hot, and windows and doors were wide open and dark with ocecu- pants, Kvery carringe got a choer as it sped swiftly by, and there wore s0 many carriages that Bedlam secmed to have temporarily broken loose and dis- charged all its inmates on prize fighting. Down in the neighboruood of the club sights were stirving. Iivery man of any promineunce got an ova- tion that was startling in its strength. Those who could not get iato tho club felt authorized to hanyj on the outside for bulletins from the ring, On hoth Royal and St. Charles streets the blue coats showed their clubs and mado their presence felt. They were responsibie for the decorum of tho event, and they did thewr work well, There was a ripple of excitement when the Dison party arove up to the club curb and handea up their tickets, Their fignt was over and their anxicty passed. Dixon looked as chippor as a bird. His suit was noboy, hissmile broad, his hat was tilted on his héad at sn angle of mauy degrees and his wealth was on tho big man., He bad a smile for everybody snd cverybody treated him with courtesy Greatest Ever Known, respocts tonight's tizht was the greatest of the three, In point of purse, in pownt of men and in point of vrowds and in point of excitement it excellea the others, Iv was no wonder, therefore, that those who could not go or would not go forsook their beds und crowded around butletin boards eager for a word of news from the struggle of the gladiatos When they made the match they meaut it to be decisive in its re- sults, Thero was plenty of money to back each man. The Sullivan people dictated the terms and the other side had to meet them, Then $10,000 a side was nawed as the wager, The Corbett peovle agreed Lo this without demur, ‘Then there came tho question of a purse, The Olympic is the Suliivan oficial club and wanted the match at all hazards. 1t offered $25,000 for the mill and the princely sum was accepted. 1t was agroed that tho winnor should have the whols of it. The loser would find no solace for bis woe. Tho conditions were brief. T'hey were to the effect that thie fight was to be to a finish under Quaensberry rules. Thatv moans that the men must stand up squarely and box, stripped to the waist, h round 1o last three minutes und one minute, Nothing was sald avout weights. Euach man was privileged to carey a8 much flosh us he pleased, Along with the purse for thé win- ner of tho tight goss the chawmpionship title, and 1o euch of the gladiators the fight meant more than the coin that had been wagered on the result. Sulllvau's Triumphul Approach, The Sullivan people came to the club first, They took @ carriage at the hotel before 7 o'clock and drove leisurely aown with a string of hacks, The carriiges were closed, and few on the streets knew it contained the man from Boston, When it reuched the clup, there was an immense bundle of peoplo fighuug their way into she club, The big- boned coppers cleared the way, and the cham- ion and his party went iu. Ju ulifle, I'rank Morau, Jack Ashton and Phil Casey and lesser lights went in, Sullivun wore a dark sult, his heavy sweuter peepiug through his baif open coat. He looked strong und determined, He walked with a jaunty aie and came 10 80 6asy with the 1iue of peoplo entering at the time that fow noticed him. Ho went to his room and his friends pre- In all *pared him for the fray. A big policoman st0od at the door, which was locked 1uside, and no one was admitced but tne seconds und the trainers of the fighter and President Noel, who came 1o sue how tne champion lookea, Sullivan took the rovm dewnstaivs which Skelly occupled the night bafore, In the 1083 for corners Corbett won and chose the Aucky one that Dixon and MeAuliffe foughitiu, Corboett Had a Following, Jim Corbett followed in the wake of the champion, coming in fifteen minutes later, He bad remalned in his room until the very last moment that he coula with safery, and theu, with his trainers and seconds’ avd representatives of the Southern Athletic club, he jum futo a carriega and sped down to the club. When his party pulled up in front of the door the street was cleared and ao avenue opeued Iuto the bullding. Corbett came in first, with & lizht step and face wreathod in smiles. Ho woro a tweed suit, a cap and yellow shoes and his hands were stuck 1n the pockets of his coat, Ho nodded to frionds as ho walked rapidiy to his room and showed no sign of nervousneas in the face of the battie before him. Mike Donovan, Billy Brady, Denms Dillon, Jim Daloy and oneor two othors trotted behind and when they ontered tho little room up- sta’ts they went to work to strip the gladi ator. Tho heavyweights roamed in the rooms until ealled to the ring. Seen From the Seats, Thoe arena in 1ts enlarged condition pree sents o striking appeurance, being flled te its utmost capacity, even the overhanging galleries, which seemed {0 jut out at a giddy helght above the vast throng that lined the almost countloss tiers of seats in tho malo body of the arena, beiug packed with an eager throng, ull intently "watching every 100vo that was made in the ring and without. In looking over tho immense throng oue could not help reflocting upon tho tremen- dous strides in popular favor that has bee mude in boxing sinco Heenan and Mort fought on tho Canadian shoro of Lake Erie & little over thirty vears ago. In those days men were in the habit of going to prise fights “oaly on the sly.” At that time, too, going to & prizo fight moant long and fa- tiguing rides in badly managed trains or on board the slowost nud most uncomfortably crowded steamboats staggoring under a hugo load of profane nud foul-mouthed humanity. In those times the crowd assembled at a ringside, while not wholly mgde up ot the worst classes, was usually of such & character that ruflianism iwas vastly in as- cendancy tkroughout the whole journey from bezinning to end. Surroundings at the Kingslde Contrasted. In those good early days, 0o, it was not always that the botter mun proved the vio- tor, for as & rule the crowd at the ringside had much more to say about the settloment, of a doubtful point than the referee had and tho fighter who had the strongest party at his back was reasonably sure to win unless the man of the weaker party proved hia superior beforeuny point requiring the - tervention of the referee had tumo to arise. Of course, there was not nearly as much money in prize fighting as there i3 now, 1'he excursion money should usually have footed up o cousideravle sum but the managers of cach side had to pay the fares of so many ruffian rotainers that their shares of the re. ceipts were groatly lossened. All these things had a tendency to make prizo fighting disreputable 1 the early times, but as conducted at the Olympic clud these contests have come to wear a different as- pect. Now men travel to great boxing con: tests in vestibuled limited traivs; they sleep in the best hotols, fare sumptuously every dny, and when the time for the contest ar- rives thoy find themselves in o grand, bril- liautly lighted arena, in comfortadly aud al- most luxurious seats without having under- gone anything like discomfort on their jour- ney to the battie ground. Tostead of a dis. orderly mob, they find surrounding them men of respectability, who are in the orai. nary walks of life, who have no nodon of creating anv Jisturvance, and, in addition to this safezuard against anything of rowdyism, they seea strong force of police ready ta stump out anything resembling disorder, They see n ring made with the most scrupu lous regard for the safety of contestarts, havicg heavily padded posts and ropes firmly adjusted. Nolsy In n Quiet Way. The picture presented by the interior of the club house tonight was one to be long remembered. All about the ring wera deep rows of boxes filled to overflowing with people who were willing to pay an extrava- zant price for clioice scats, and between these and tharing wero rows of press seats running all around tae outer ring, provided with along planod board, which served the reporters a8’ u table upon which to write Lheir. copy as the fight was in progress, Boyorid the boxes was a broad aisie, and then from its outer edge to the extr: 0] of tho walls rose vier upon. ‘ver of. of which were crowded with spectators. The night was warm. and long before the hour for the men to enter the riug had arrived, coats had been latd aside, and these ereat banks of humanity looked like ters races of black, white and pink n rogular rows, the darker bluck lino presenting the trovsers and waistcouts of the spaectators, the white the shirt sleeves, and the piwk the faces, which, in the distance, in spite of the brillant electric lights, looked dim and in. distinet. Though the best of order and good humor prevailed, what would have baen only alow hum of voices in an ordinary sized crowed was magnitied into a loud hoarse roay as the voices of fully 8,000 people were blended into a gicantic whole. Occusionally somoe ono would recognize a friend on the opposite side of the arcua and make an av tempt to attract his attention, &hich attempt s ays iu vain, for the roar made by the vast crowd was such thatan individual voice counted for almost nothing as compared with it ‘The crowa appeared to be pretty evenly divided in its sympatbies. Both men had plenty of friends, but it would have been difficult to tell which was tha favorite from anything that could be gathered fn the arens before the boxers madoe their appearance There was no betting allowed oy the cluh, und those who had stroug proferences which they were willing to support with theis money had no opportunity of making any in. vestnients exoept in the 100st secret manner. Handsome Jim in the King. I. may well be questioned if two such giants ever faced each other in the prize ring. Certainly neither of these had ever faced such a formidable looking antagonist. Both wers splendid specimens of physical dovelopment, but they were as unlike as Apollo and Hew cules. Beautiful in every outline from neck to his hecls, Corbett looked the 1deul atnlete cut in the whitest marble in herolc proportions, His skin had the pale tint of the purest Parian marble. But in spite of this delicate hue there was no aelicacy of form. A large well formed head aud a pleasing fuce sug: gestive rather of the tragedian than the pugilist, but with a firm set jaw and & bol fearless eve. A neck that was a model ol grace and strength, though possibly a trifle longer than would ' fit the typical pugliist. From the brosd base of the tower-snaped neck the wide shoulders drooped gracefully away, rounding out to great thickness ov the blades and a corresponding fullness acroas the whole width of the chest, giving an enormous trunk, gracefully tapering ta tho hips, With grand width and weight of muscular coil Corbett’s large but shapely trunk was ltrnpsfld 1 strong, massive and muscular hips and thighs well iaid together and us gracefu!l in outline as the gréatcst o} sculptors could have molded those of ao Apollo. That was James Corbett as he stood in the ring that was to make or sniff him out as & pugliist. With great i trembling in the balance he looked as gay and jauuty as though he had been putting on the gloves *'to oblige a friend” at some benefit, Polydeuces Redivivus, I the opposite corner of the ring sat an- other figure which, though massive, powers ful ano wuscular, presented a strange cons trast with the form just described.
