Another Old Citizen Heard From.

EDS RECORD UNION. ''Old Citizen" in
last evenings Bee, echoes my sentiments
exactly. L, too. am an old citizen, and do
not wish to'put a straw in the way of those
who are so earnest in advocating sanitary
reform, but do not think the city needs it.
Vaults and cesspools are but holes in tie
ground, and holes in the ground do nobody
any harm at least, a few inches of sand
would remedy them. Cover all filth with
we do not need them. \ little copperaS is
all that is needed. We do not need even
that My friend, the doctor, is right when
he says that cleaning up the city will pro-
duce sickness. As to China slough. it
should be let alone until We get il Just
where we want it. 1t does not stink. We
old citizens have smelt it for years. and are
alive Let il alone. Do not stir it up. fer
fear it might stink. | stood on its bank Il
few years ago with Governor Stanford, and
talked about it. therefore it is not as bad as
represented. Cranks say it smells badly
and should be filled. Cranks want to pump
sand into it to fill it up. Sand would UPSET
my plans and iniure the slough. If you
want China slough cleaned up, tear down
all the old buildings around it and cover
! the ground with sand This is practical
/, too, am surprised at the narrow and
impracticable views of men coming to the
front in this matter We are not children
to be frightened into doing away with ia
miliar smells We can take care of our
selves We need efficient officers. and the
people will get along; but a meeting of
'impracticable doctors" all advocating
different theories, but agreeing upon the
| necessity of cleansing and disintecting the
city, will do no good. 1t gives the city a
| bad name.
Let the Trustees send for an expert to
analyze our air, our water, our cesspools
and China slough Let the City Trustees

Cholera ReDOrts.

ToULoN, August 4th.-There were four
deaths from cholera here last night. Ply
sicians fear that the return of people to I'M
healthy lodgings will cause a fresh out
break, and possibly an outbreak of small
pox and typhoid fever.
| MARsEILLEs, August 4th.-Between and
9 o'clock to-day there were three deaths
here from cholera.
| CARDIFF, August 4th.-The steamer Ris-
changeys, from Marseilles, is anchored in
Penarth Roads. Before leaving Marseilles
| four cases of cholera were sent from the
vessel to the Pharo Hospital Dr. Paine,
| however, pronounces the steamer perfectly
healthy.
| MARsEILLEs, August 4th.-The fact that
swallows, which migrated at the out
break of the pestilence have not yet re-
turned, and that there are no sparrows at
all in the city, is adduced rs evidence that
the atmosphere is still vitiated This migra-
ton of birds made deep impression upon
! the public, and led to demand for the
publication of the atmosphere by bonfires.
| ToULoN, August 4th-6.30 p. M.-There
were no deaths from cholera here to-day,
| and the total number of cases now under
| treatment is 100. There was one death to-
day at Laseyne and two at Montfort-sur-
! ArgenS.
| MARsEILLEs, August 4th-7 p. M.-There
have been seven deaths from cholera since
| II o'clock this morning Only three cases
were admitted into the Pharo Hospital to-
| day. Sixty cases are being treated there
now, and ten were discharged to-day.
MARsEILLEs, August 4th-1O P. M.-Dur-
| ing the past twenty four hours twenty-eight
deaths occurred here from cholera.
| III, T.,
out that in the twenty-four hours ended
midnight Sunday, two deaths from cholera
had occurred at Montenotte and one at Villa
Franco. At Pancalieri there have been
three fresh cases, but at no other points
have there been any. 1t will be possible in
| a few days to remove the sanitary Gordon.
Demand His Recall.
| PARIS, August 4th-One section of the
Paris press demands the recall of Wadding-
ton, French ambassador at London, author
of the Anglo-French agreement, which was
defeated in the Egyptian Conference. 1t is
reported that Waddington offers to resign.
The Figaro, referring to the subject, says
Waddington's successor must display
greater energy against the spread of Eng
fish power. French and English interests
are now completely opposed, and a conflict
is inevitable in the near future" The rup-
ture of the Conference, the paper says is a
grave enough event, but it hopes it will not
have to announce that the latent conflict
has passed to open hostilities. La Repub-
Hpte Franchise maintains that, although
the agreement has lapsed, England had
admitted the claims of France to special
rights in Egypt. France, the paper says
must vindicate her rights. England has
not vet evicted Europe from Egypt. Eng
lands asserted freedom and power of &C
ton are delusive.

Eject OF sulphate of Iron.

Fps RECORD UNION: There is room fol
difference OF opinion in regard to the dis
injecting properties of cOppcras or sulphatC

ammonical properties are neutralized. The

and practice it on a very extensive scale
" The fecal matter so abundantly collected
and dried in Paris to form the dry, portable
manurcs called poudrette, is mixed with {
small portion of solution of sulphate o
iron, whereby it loses its offensive smell
and is evaporated without causing nui

THE evidence is aCcumulating that goes
to fortify the doubts and predictions of the
REcoRD-U MON made some years ago, as to
the feasibility of cutting the Panama canal
according 10 the plans of De LeSseps Be
fore u spade was driven to break ground we
pointed out what seemed to be, at the time
grave reasons for believing that the canal
was to be i'll begun, slow advanced and not
to be finished under half as much again as
the sum asked. Nothing since the work
began has occurred to weaken faith in these
predictions. on the contrary, the news is
now public property that by single mis-.
their failure TO probe the earth to ascertain
the true character of deep cutting demand
ed, the surveyed line must be departed from
in single section at cost of 81 900, 900 OF
s. 900, 900 The confession is already made
| that the estimates of cost, 1920, 900, will
be greatly exceeded; that the estimates Of
excavation were very much too low, and
made upon the absurd idea of maintaining
perpendicular banks; and that the plan:
for resisting the menace of the chief rivel
of the isthmus are inadequate. There ha;
been scarcely anything beyond a soft cut
ting of 10000 feet accomplished upon the
work thus far, or as contemplated. i
promises to-day to be huge failure, as far
as the De Lesscps company is concerned
and the chances all are that the canal will
not be completed by anyone within The
century.

the sum above named, and has been told,
automatically, of course, that she must
pay or there will be trouble As that
Government has no way of raising it ex-
cept by borrowing, Diaz turns next to the
United States, whose citizens have indi-
Gated their confidence in the future of
Mexico by putting several million of dol
lars into railroads there already. The
statement goes on TO say that if the'loan
cannot be had by the usual method of ma
tional bonds, there will be a special security
offered in the shape of Chihuahua, the
richest of Mexican States, to be given as q
special pledge.
Destructive Confagration.

HAS P. M.-The fire at the Pennsylvania
| Railroad depot, AT Jersey City, is spreading,
and the heat is so great that the fremen
and employees are prevented from saving
ANYTHING on shore, while tug-boats cannot
get near to tow out the ferry-boats and
| freight boats, and these must go in the
general destruction of the depot. The piers
are also burning, and this involves loss Of
all the freight and cars upon them. The
