THE PLAGUE ABArINa.

Owing to the rigid preventive meas
ures which were SO promptly and sfica-
eiously taken. the terrible pestilence
devastating Russia has considerably
abated and its progress confined and
checked within certain limits. Strong
quarantine regulations preventing inter-
course with the infected districts were
extensively adopted. and very excellent
sanitary precautions prevail throughout
Austria. Germany. Hungary and other
neighboring countries. In case the
plague should extend in spite Of these
measures, it is proposed to establish a
clos, military chain or quarantine along
the entire frontier OF Russia, allowing
the passing OF travellers only upon pro-
duesd evidence that they have not been
in any portion OF the infected districts
for twenty days previous. All the rail-
way trains, as well as passengers, goods
and freight. are carefully disinfectsd be-
fore being allowed to pass beyond the
frontier, and any mail matter from an
infected or exposed section is duly fumi-
gated at the line. As . matter Of course
these excessive and extensive precautions
are = serious arrangement to commerce,
but 1t is hoped that the necessity will
not much longer continue. II is feared.
however, that the approach Of Spring
weather may revive the v~irulsnee OF the
plague and cause 1t to spread again, but
its ravages have so greatly abated ct
present. and the sanitary and quarantine
precautions are so strict, that the great
fear and alarm is gradually subsiding.
