A Decrease in the Number of Deaths
Noticeable in the Reports.
PARIS, Nov. 15.-The Municipal Coun-
ell Yesterday, after a heated debate, re-
iected, by a vote of 80 to II, the proposal
to grant 5000 francs to the Bretenil Asy-
lum for old people, where the cholera has
created serious ravages. The resolution,
however. was adopted by a vote of "A to
23 which spoke i'll depreciation of subsi-
dies to mOnasteries, but appointed a
committee whose duty it will be TO
see to it that all sufferers from
cholera in such institutions receive
proper attention. The Council likewise
voted an appropriation Of $4,000 francs
for the furtherance of the adoption of
sanitary measures in private houses. 1t
is now alleged that the outbreak at the
Bretenil Asylum was due to the stoppage
of the supply of broken victuals, which
has come about through the prevailing
anti-clerical fanaticism. A nun who had
been faithfully attending the PATIENTS
Asylum, succumbed to the deadly epi-
demic yesterday.
The daily record of deaths from cholera
since the outbreak OF tue epidemic in this
city is as follows: First day 1, second IA,
third SO, fourth 50, fifth 9S, sixth SO, sew
enth 81. eighth 20; total for eight days
400. daily average of 5S nearly.

in this city yesterday was 56, all but Ii of
which occurred in the hospitals. In the
II hours ending at noon to-day there were
80 deaths. There was one death from
cholera at Nantes to day.
From all the indications the situation to-
day is slightly improved. The frost, how
ever, has not checked the epidemic as
much as was expected.

TOulOn since last report.
The Russian embassy announces that q
quarantine of 81 days will be required at
the Russian frontier in the case of all per-
sons arriving from infected countries.

ing, died this morning. DR.. Warren Bay

LONDON, Nov. 15.-Reports are current
in Paris of the spread OF cholera to this
city, where, the report states, the disease
is raging. The Paris Temps says that
there were 187 cases in this city yester-
day. Last week the AnglO-phobist jour-
nails in Paris announced an average of
80 cases daily in London, but nothing
has transpired here concerning an
outbreak Of the disease in the metropolis.
The report las created a great sensation
in Paris. The weather in London is cold,
bracing and seasOnabIe, and not a single
case of cholera has been reported for
months past. The London newspapers
ascribe theabove reports to French cha
grin at the immunity of England from the
cholera.
THE GOVERNMENTS PRECAUTIONS.
