LONDON, July 19.-Despite the attempts of
certain French scientific authorities to minimize
as much as possible the cholera panic on the
continent. it must be admitted that Dr. Koch
was justified in those terrible predictions which
have alarmed all Europe The whole continent
is terror-stricken. A correspondent, seeking
flor conservative authorities upon the subject of
the cholera scare, met Mr.. Cook the great
tourist agent and obtained from him an inter
view. Mr. Cook said:
1t is almost impossible to exaggerate the
effects of the cholera outbreak in France. Be
sides the depression it has brought upon general
business on the continent, it's effect upon Eu-
ropean summer travel, both commercial and
holiday, has been simply enormous It is true
that the present rush from the southern and
eastern countries to England somewhat com
pensates for the losses in the regular transporta
ton eastward and southwark but the general
effect Of the cholera panic upon European travel
has been disastrous"
How about American travelW
''The number of Americans who have returned
and arranged to return from the continent to
England is unprecedented for the time of year
The English continental tourists have been the
most thoroughly alarmed. They have nearly all
returned home. The Americans may be divided
into two classes; those who insist on keeping
posted about current events through correspond
ence and newspapers and those who make their
vacation blank so far as the worlds troubles
are concerned The former class have been
