INSTRUCTION AT TEHERAN.-The Constanttioptc

been received from Persia, Of serious instruction,
which broke out at Teheran The new Prime Minis

some of the great men about the court who got up
conspiracy against him. The instruction broke out
the night Of the 18th Of March. Four regiments,
which had been gained by the conspirators at
tackled the residence of the minister under prctencc
of demanding some arrears Of pay. They were re-
pulsed by the guards and having been promised that
justice should be done to them they retired to their
quarters.
Shortly afterwards however they again sailed out,
declaring that the minister should be deprived Of

and Russian representatives went to the Shah to
commend him to yield to the demands Of his soldiers

SETH GEER, Resident Physician.

The above is the first report made by the Board Of
HEALTH showing positively that of cholera had
occurred within the limits Of the city for
hours but Is not explicit with regard to any of
real Asiatc cholera having occurred at all 1t is the
opinion of Of the most experienced physicians in
the city and who attended several hundred
of cholera in 1892 that there has been such disease
In the city during this spring The disease supposed
be- cholera of sporadic character and the effect
of the filthy condition Of the house where it originated
From the first report were satisfied that 1t
false ALARM and gave the why and the report
of the Sanitary Committee goes very far in conrma
ton Of those II the cholera had made its ap
pearance its would have been very easily
and the means by which it brought to the city
The disease is foreign one and never known in
the country except when brought from foreign
port. True doing the whole winter, 1t has made It's
ravages at the South and the West has been sorely vi
sited by 1t during the spring, but no has been
known east Of Cincinnati When the cholera made its
appearance in 1882 it was not confined to particu
verify stricken sections, 1t fatal than in
others but like every other epidemic 1t embraced the
whole extent of the city The disease which has lately
appeared has been confined entirely to the locality
where it originated, and have been attacked
except such were given up to debauchery and
waowipg in filth That fact alone Is sufficient to sa-
tisfy the most ncreduous, that great danger
be apprehended Be it what 1t may 1t to have

cholera will be raised until 1t really comes and
create excitement because few Of the miserable dwell
lers the Five Points may die suddenly Of filth,

CHOLERA AND THE STREETS.-lt Is matter
of dispute among our medical men whether the
deaths which occurred recently in the Sixth Ward
in this city were caused by the real Asiatic
cholera or not some affirming that they were, and
some that they were not. This diversity Of
opinion is not at all strange or uncommon. 1t will
be recoected that one of our principal medical in
stltutons, embracing great portion of the medi-
cal talent Of the city, held two sessions, for the
purpose of arriving at some conclusion respecting
the contagiousness or non-contagousness of that
disease, and on each occasion they adjourned with
out arriving at any definite result. At the last
meeting, we believe, they contented themselves
with passing resolution to the effect that it was
inexpedient to express any opinion on the subject,
thus leaving the matter where it stood before they
entered upon its investigation. Our own opinion
is, that those deaths were caused by malignant
cholera morbus, superinduced by the dsgustingly
filthy habits of the victims, and the horribly dirty
and wretched abodes in which they lived. Indeed,
no one, who has visited the scene of the disease,
wonders at the breaking out of malignant disease
among the people in that neighborhood The only
surprise that can be manifested, is, that the at
mcsphere of the whole vicinity is filled with poison
Gus exhalations, and the wretched inhabitants are
sunk in poverty, degradation, drunkenness, and
the most abject wretchedness, how human being
can live there at all, or what mysterious agency
has prevented yellow fever, cholera asphyxia, or
some other dreadful disease, from devastating that
neighborhood long before this
One good result, however, will grow out of the
alarm caused by the report Of the Aslatic cholera
being among us, unfounded as it may be. We
are certain, according to present appearances, OF
having clean streets, and publication of the dir
test part of our city, before many days. Whether
the cholera Is here or not, we hope the authorities
will carry out the system of street cleaning which
they have commenced. 1t is Herculean task
as great, almost, that of cleaning the Augean
stables but if our newly elected Mayor will put
his shoulder to the wheel, and act with as much
energy in this he has done in other respects, the
work can be accomplished. fit were done-ifwe
had clean streets, especially in the lower wards,
we might, with confidence, defy the cholera
We hope, therefore, that the authorities will
not relax their efforts, but that they will prosecute
The good which they have commenced, until we
shall be in position to boast of, at least, having
clean streets.
