health commissioner of St. Louis, today tele-
graphed Surgeon General Hamilton that the
Annie P. Silver had arrived there, and that
the report of cholera on board, on her trip up
the Mississippi river, was not warranted by the
fact. He says that thorough examination of
the alleged cholera case shows that the family
whose child died during the trip, had been
residents of Mexico for more than year.
They came to the United States seven months
ago, they never were in the cholera infected
district in France, and that the child died of
summer complaint. Surgeon General Hamil-
ton also received today copy of letter dated
July 10, from DR.. j. B. Peace, who attended
the case on the vessel, and who warned the
authorities at Nashville Tenn. DIR. Peace
says the family arrived at New Orleans five
days since (July 14) from San Louis, Spain.
The vessel had been at Bordeaux, Toulon and
Vera Cruz. Though the father did not speak
English, DR.. Peace says he learned that he
had been detained at Toulon. The doctor
says further "The child died with every
symptom of cholera. Whether this was case
of Asiatic or sporadic cholera I will not posi-
lively assert, but cholera it certainly wss.''

the championship of the league, but the lead is a
very slim one, and liable to be broken at any
moment. The Bostons have played two more

lead, but they failed by losing two games to the
work since Rad6ourn has reappe AIRED with it. and
they continue, the coming week will undoubtedly
place them at the top of the list. The expulsion Of
