A Postal TELEGRAPH.

Whatever may be the immediate result
OF the struggle between the telegraph
companies and the strikers, there is no
doubt that the strike will have powerful
influence in the direction of the extinction
oftelegraph companies and the assumption
by the government of the telegraph bust
ness of the country. If the officers of the
Western Union were not so engrossed and
heated in their contest with the strikers.
they would see greater menace to the
stability of their company in the growing
sentiment among the people in favor OF
government control and management of
the telegraph than the decision of the
questions ut issue between them and the
operators.

CHOLERA AND YELLOW FEVER.
Cholera Makes Its Appearance in Lon.
dOn-Prompt Precautionary Measures.

WASHINGTON, July 90.
DIR. Hamilton, the supervising surgeon of
the marine hospital service has received in
formation today as to cholera and yellow
fezer which gave him some concern. A des
patch from trustworthy medical authority in
London is to the effect that six cases of
Asiatic cholera have appeared on docks. A
despatch from Havana from the medical
officer says that a steamer from Vera Cruz
landed 20 cases of yellow fever there and
proceeded for New York. DIR. Hamilton at
once sent dispatches to the health officers at
Boston and New York and all Atlantic ports.
and in view to partial interruption to tele-
graphic communication he sent duplicate des-
patches by all the lines that would receive
them. He considers it of great importance
that the health authorities should be in
formed as speedily as possible.
Secretary Folger in view of this conyersa-
ton, has decided to employ competent phy-
stefan IN all ports from which cholera and
yellow fever are likely to be sent to this
country to communicate information of the
departure of any infected ship at the earliest
possible moment. The treasury has $780,
900 at its disposal to be used to prevent the
introduction of epidemic disease.

FIRE RECORD.
The Gibson House and two Stabl' at
Portsmouth, N. H.. Destroyed
Twenty. Five Horses Among
the Property Lost.

PORTSMOUTH. y. H., July %.
At two O'Clock this mornng ire broke out
in Stcddards stable on Vaughn street in this
city. The fire department responded prompt
ly. and did splendid work, but before the
fire was under control the stables and the
Gibson House were destroyed. A more ugly
looking fire, at one time, has not occurred in
this city for years. A second alarm calling
for help from the navy yard, was soon sound
ed. The navy yard authorities responded
quickly, two steam fire engines, and detail
OF men from the sloop-of-war Dale, being sent
over. and doing good service; and by four
o'clock all danger of further damage was
past.
The fire caught in the stable, but just where
and how no one knows. 1t spread with the
rapidity of gunpowder train, and but very
few OF the horses were saved. One horse
was saved from the big stable and six from
the small one, from twenty-five to twenty
eight being burned.
The Gibson House was ablaze in a few
minutes from the time the fire was discov-
cred in the stable, and very little of the con-
tents was saved, the guests having scanty
time to spare after dressing themselves be-
fore having to retreat. The hotel was prac-
tically a new building, and was very nicely
furnished its patronage was large and the
ioss was quitt hea'y. me Dig stdOle was an
old landmark, the old Cameneum; and on
the ceiling. up to Sunday evening, could be
seen the sun, moon, stars and comet which
were painted there half a century or 50 ago,
when the building was used as theatre. lee
ture room, concert hall and place of enter
tainment generally. The loss is estimated
by some as high as $50, 900. The property
was insured. Many buildings caught on the
root during the progress Of the fire, but in
every case watchers extinguished the flames.
