PARIS July 7.-Dr. Koch, The dis
coverer of the cholera germ in India,
dissected the body of IL Marine who
died Of cholera in the Marine Hos
pital at TOulon after having been
sick only two hours. lie SAYS the
SOURCE now raging at Toulon an
Marseillcs, France, is undoubtedly
Aslalic cholera. DR.. Koch said the
outlook for Il spread of the disease
over Europe is very serious. lie
stated that fumigation of baggage
and passengers and other ordinary
sanitary precautions now being
exercised in Paris AMI other
cities, will not prevent the disease
being introduced throughout Eu-
rope, and, perhaps, ultimately reach
ing America. As the germ ofthe di-
scase is carried in the intestincs, il
might lie dormant sometime before
developing sufficiently TO PROSTATE a
person having it. lie advised very
strict quarantine regulations as the
best means of preventing the intro
ductiou of the disease.

THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE.
Scion Chase and other Greenback.
ers Decide to Vote for Blaine
and Logan.

~MAISE-BLAINE REcRUGTs-rRoGREss OF THU
CAMPAIGN.
AUGUSTA, Me-, August II. - Especial. -
About as interesting an episode as has &C.
Cured in political circles in this state this
year has been the announcement of Scion
Chase that he shall support Blaine. Mr..
Chase's letter was given to the associated
press Monday, and Tuesday the Penobscot
g~reenbackers held their convention for the
nomination of candidates for the several
county Offices to be supported at the Sep.
tcmber election. The detection of Chase led
to the challenging of every man men.
toned as a candidate, to see what his politi.
cure only Butler men, but although the con.
vention adopted the platform of the national
greenback patty, all but one man placed in
nomination was in favor of Cleveland. Dur
ing the day, John White, one of the premi-
nent grcenbackers of Eastern Maine, sent
SUlon Chase q caustic letter, in which he said:
To my great surprise l find you are out for
Blaine. | need not repeat your language,
but | consider it damnaOle. | helped you to
a press and type to advocate the principles of
our party. and If the statement is true-which
| hope in Gods name is mott want my
money, the sum of $3.50, at once.
Another detection from the ranks of the op.
position that is causing some omment is that
of Prince 5. Sawyer, deputy secretary.of state
under Governor Garcelon. Mr.. Sawyer has
always been n democrat, and in joining
Blaine's forces he will have n strong influence
among the democrats of Franklin county,
where he resides.
The Independent Irish movement in favor OF
Blaine is assuming strong proportions in Port
land. A similar movement was started four
years ago in favor Of Garfield, but, unless all
appearances fail, the vote then polled will
bear no. comparison with the one to be rolled
up this year. prominent lrishman from Bos,
ton, who has baen visiting this state, says
that there are over 1000 signers to the inde-
pendent Irish rolls of hat city, and the move.
ment has just began.
The Hon. Emory A. Stoors is doing good
work in Maine. II is one of the most popu-
lar speakers that will engage in the campaign
in this state, and as he has been given but
four assignments he draws a crowded house
each time.
The temperance workers are also looking
up. The Hon. John B. Finch, of Nebraska,
will enter the state next Tuesday and is to
speak at the great temperance rally to be held
at Lake Sebago the Saturday following. Miss
Emily Pitt Stevens, of California, will alse be
present on that occasion.
While the crowd at Lake Maranacook Tues.
day was awaiting the arrival of the speakers,
several of the prominent temperance men of
the state improved the opportunity to get up
an eXtemporaneous meeting.

A ST. Louis TRAGEDY.

ST. LOUIS. August 15.-Russel II. Tevis,
who shot and seriously wounded Frank Il.
Iglehardt two years ago last winter, for toe
intimate relations with his wife, went to his
home at 1854 st, Louis avenue, about 10
o'clock tonight and had some angry words
with his wife. Remarking that he thought it
would be better for all Of them to die, he took
a large pistol from the washstand drawer, and
made a demonstration towards his wife, but
she, divinipg his purpose, fled hastily from the
room. lewis then placed the pistol to his
own mead and sent a IS calibre bullet through
his brain, He fell dead upon the floor.
Mrs. Tevis is suffering from hysteria,
and her physicians will not allow reporters to
see her. Tevis bought out his business part
ner to-day, and had been drinking tonight,
and was in a somewhat nervous and excited
condition before he went home He was 32
years of ave, and of q very nervous temper.
ment. His wife is a daughter of General
Reese, u. S. A., and was involved in an UNI
fortunate affair with young lRlehart two years
ago for which her husband obtained a divorce,
but some months later they met in Chicago,
became |reconciled, were remarked, and have
been living together.

KANSAS.
For Blaine and logan.

NEW YORK, August 15.-Col. A. A. Ihom.
as, of Kansas, formerly land register Of that
state, speaking OF the political outlook at the
Gilsey house this evening said "Kansas will
give a larger republican majority in Novem'
Der than it did in 1880. 1t will undoubtedly
turn its electoral vote over to Blaine and Lo-
gan by about 40 ono to 90, 900 majority"
"But Kansas is st. Johns own state!"
"Very true. His candidacy for the presi-
dency will not amount TO much there, how
ever. | do not think that he will poll much
over 1000. You see, Kansas is natural y
overwhelming republican, especially in regard
to the presidency. If st. John were running
for the governorsh'p or some state
office he would, in my opinion, poll a much
larg r vote than he did the last time he ran
for governor. Our republicans are true blue
this year, and recognize the fact that a vote
for St. John means one against Blame,
who has always been a ~favorite there. He
would have received its entire vote at Chicago,
only the state was under peculiar obligations
to Gen. Arthur.

A INCARCERATION MIDDLE.
Governor Ireland of Texas to be
Arrested.

GALVESTON, August 15.-A warrant was
to-day issued by United States Commissioner
Spann for the arrest of John Ireland, governor
of Texas, for violation of section 5, $40 of the
revised statutes of the United States. Emil
Francois, upon whose deposition the warrant
was issued, was convicted in 1879 under the
anti .miscegenation statute of Texas and sen.
fenced to five years in the penitentiary. On
the 1lthinstant Judge Sabine, of the U. S.
court, granted an hearing to Francois on writ of
habeas corpus. When the case was called for
hearing, the state announced that the governor
had granted full pardon to Francois, where
uponth the writ was dismissed, and an order of
court entered discharging Francois. The
next day Francois refused to acceptithe gov
ernor's pardon, alleging that it did not restore
him to citizenship, and he preferred rather to
rely on the judgment rendered in a dismissal
of the writ and discharge from custody by the
the court, as the best evidence of his liberty
and citizenship. In his affidavit Francois de-
poses that Ireland as governor of Texas with
the penitentiary officials conspired and ccnted.
Grated together todepriveh him of his rights, and
privileges secured by the constitution and laws
of the United States. Francois Is pure white.
He married n colOred woman whose complex
ion was fairer than his own. The statute an
der which he was convicted provides only for
the punishment Of n white person IN cases of
miscegenation, hence his claims for being dis
eliminated against. A warrant for the arrest
of the governor was placed in the hands Of
Marshal Tracy tonight. The case attracts
great attention.
Omaha daily bee., 1884-08-16

BEFORE any member of the last legisla-
ture is reelected, his record should be
thoroughly scanned. There were several
members of the last legislature who
fought very bravely over the dead issues
of the rebellion, but who voted with the
railroads, and against the people every
time. There are others who are very
rampant about the monopolists, but were
always ready to vote for jobs and steals,
and way down deep they were playing
shuttle-cock and battle-dore on anti
monopoly bills. Before the campaign
goes very much further, we shall refer to
these frauds and ''snides," if any of them
are re-nominated. 'a

This will prove a great benefit to farmers.
There is but one signal office in Nebras.

A GREAT deal is being said by the Irish
and German vote in the state of New
York, but a very few persons have any
accurate ideas on the subject. The cen
sus of 1880 does not divide the ''males
of voting age" according to nativity, but
it shows the following divisions from
which calculations can be made: Total
population, native, ~3,871,412; foreign,
1,zl1,379 ~(including Go, 1O4 colored). Oh
the foreign born, 499,445 were born in
Ireland, and 356, 113 in the German en-
pire. Total number of males of voting
age, (white) native, S52,094; foreign
born, 536 ,598. 1t will be seen that
there are nearly 10000 more Irish
than Germans in New York. 1t is esti-
mated that for every voter there are five
persons, and dividing 500, 445 by 5 we
find that there are 1850 Irish votes in
New York, and dividing 356,1l by o we
find that there are II 1922 German votes.
1t has been claimed that the Irish vote
in New York now amounts to 100, 600,
but this estimate is altogether too large
an increase in four years. As a rule the
Irish vote the democratic ticket, but it is
conceded that In this campaign a large
number will for the frat time vote the
republican ticket. The Irishmen of New
York have it within their power to make
the election of Blaine a certainty and
will probably do 1t.
