Baltic.
The Moscow Gazette, the most powerful
and influential Of the old Russian party organs,
recommends His Majesty the Czar to ac-
complish suddenly Russo European coup OF
the very greatest magnitude by means Of
Cabinet movement, which, should it be per-
fected, will. no doubt, bring war again to
many countries Of the Old World. The Gd-
sests recommends editorially that Russia
shall demand the naturalization Of Denmark
and the restoration of Northern Schleswig to
the Danes as means 10 counteract the power
of Prussia in the Baltic" This intelligence
reaches us by cable. In it we have again the
question of Schleswig, the subject OF the
obliterati0n of the smaller European king
doms, the question of the East, the question
Of North German consolidation with Austria,
the prospect Of European continental war,
and the idea Of redistribution of the peoples,
according to race and boundary. Russia has
not been sleeping over the matter, by any
means, since the termination Of the Prussian
advance against France. Her people have
become jealous of the development OF the
naval power Of Germany. To say that Russia
is afraid of this power would not be at all in
place. Russia will endeavor to limit tho
operation of its force Notwithstanding. In
the present expression of the Moscow Gazette
we can perceive an inkling of her resolution,
and read the 'frst words Of the preface OF a
new system of Europe Eastern policy on the
part Of the Russians.
THE BOARD OF HEALTH seems to be fairly
aroused to the necessity Of vigilance In COM
batting the cholera and the smallpox. A
reinspection Of tenement houses and thorough
weekly inspections of sailors and emigrants'
boarding houses were ordered at the meeting
Yesterday, and q resolution prohibiting any
one from living in cellars was adopted.
Thorough measures relative to the cleaning
| of the streets and the removal OF ofiai IN the
| vacant lots uptown were also taken. The
Health Officer was requested to issue sanitary
instructions for the treatment of cholera to
the agents Of emigrant ships, and the
Sanitary Committee suggested that the
Secretary of War be requested to compel COM
mandants Of posts near the city to report
weekly the sanitary condition OF their forces
to the city health authorities This latter
request was made some time ago, we believe
to the Secretary Of War, and was moi
responded to very cordially. Under tht
present circumstances, however, in view o
the fact that the military is supposed to b'
subseryient to the civil authorities and the
emergency is pressing, we hope the Secretary
of War will see the necessity Of cooperation
between the forces at the various posts AM
the city health authorities.
TIE BOARD OF CANvAssERs in Brookly'
