WASHINGTON, August 1O.-FrOm the

cable the English authorities appear in
the role OF not being at all afraid of the
cholera getting fOOthold in their tight

Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital
| Service, to-day received documents which
| tell the tale. These are copies of the regu-
lations issued by the English health
| authorities. They are the most stringent

men. Their enactment will make 1t all
but impossible for any vessel hailing
from cholera port to enter and clear any

sides there have been issued a circular of
instructions to all people containing in

prevent cholera getting foOthOld any
Where. 1t would appear from this that
IN England as we'll as here, the doctors
put ON good face before a threatened ep-
ldemlc, and while pooh-pOohing the idea
tnat there is any danger, work as if the
disease was liable to spread at any
moment.
IT Is REPORTED IN THE CAPE MAY
that there is soon to be a gathering there
of number of leading Democrats. The
general object of the gathering is said to
be to confer together as to the future
of the party. 1t is, however, reported
here that the gathering is to have for its
main purpose the furtherlng of the idea
that Mr.. Tilden could be elected again.
and perhaps that it would be very good
thing to run the old ticket again. That
there are no few men who banker after the
ola ticket is an apparent certainty. But
as yet no men who WELD any great influ-
ence in the party have gone into the
movement. Most of those who have were
closely connected with Mr.. Tilden in
1876, and thoroughly identified with the
policy then pursued by him. The Cape
May conference is probably for the pur-
pose OF feeling the public pulse as in that
regard. AS Mr.. Henry Watterson, of the
Louisville COUrieT-J0uTRdl is to be of the
conference one thing is assured. The
conierees won't have any dull time of it.
PREDICTIONS ARE MADE
here by those whose business it is to
watch and work for publications devoted

among national banks. They say that the
recent big Barlow failure in Vermont is
the forerunner of a number of others of a

The predictions Ventured are based upon
information which those who make them
say they have that large number of
banks are carrying too much railroad
paper, and that things have about reached
such crisis that pretty general smash
among them is inevitable. OF course.
bank failures will interfere with other
business pursuits. On the whole, to be-
lleYe the Washington pessimists, the
business future is one big black cloud
EVERYBODY OF COURSE REMEMBERS

He dropped from the public view just as

people have wondered what had become
