SMALLPOX AND CHOLERA
PROGRESS OF THE PLAQUES OF
TWO HENIIsPHERES.

Priests Urge the People TO Submit to
VaccinatiOn-The Precautions of the
Government on the Canadian Frontier
This Country Again Warned Against
Rags frem Europe.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.-A report lately
received from the United States Consul at
Marseilles, states that the whole number
of deaths from cholera has steadily de-
creased at Marseilles and Toulon since
Aug. 26 last. 1t has been increasing in
the district around those cities. In almost
every case the first outbreak of cholera
in these smaller cities can be traced to
some act of imprudence on the part of
those attacked. Most often the infection
has been conveyed in clothing or some
textile material. Their cupidity leads
persons to wear or sell garments of those
who have died of cholera, and they, or
those who buy of them, suffer in conse-
quence.
DANGER IN RAGS.
1t is therefore of great Importance that
all rags coming to the United States from
France or Spain should be thoroughly
dlsinfected before being landed in our
ports. 1t has been made evident by the
course of the epidemic this summer that
defective drainage IS the main cause OF
the spread Of cholera and typhoid, and
further that the dIminution of the guam
tity Of ozone in the air is followed by a
great increase in the number Of deaths
from cholera. An outbreak of cholera
has occurred at Cette, and all vessels
leaving that port for the United States
are now examined by a medical inspector
under direction OF the Consul before bills
of health are issued to them.
203 DEATHS IN SPAIN.
MADRID, Sept. 2S.-There were $50 new
cases of cholera and 203 deaths from the
disease reported yesterday throughout
Spain.
Throughout Spain to-day 729 new cases
of cholera and 23S deaths have been re-
ported.
SPREADING IN SOUTHEASTERN FRANCE.
PARIS, Sept. 2S.-Reports received to-
day from various parts of the Alpes Mari
times, the southeasternmost department
of France, show that cholera is spreading
throughout that district.
DECREASING IN SICILY.
ROME, Sept. 2S.-Dlspatches received
to-day show that the cholera is decreasing
in Sicily. King Humbert proposes to visit
the infected districts there.
King Humbert has given $2j, GOO toward
relieving the cholera suffers OF Palermo.
This generosity has aroused intense en-
thusiasm among the Sicilians.
THE RECORD AT PALERMO.
| PALERMO, Sept. 2S.-There have been
/ reported in this city to-day 162 new cases
Of cholera and 94 deaths from the disease.

Attorney General O'BTiens Opinion Ad-
verse to the State.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-Attorney General
OBrien has rendered a decision in answer
to the communication of the banking de-
partment asking whether New York saw
ings banks could lawfully invest their
deposits in Georgia State bonds. He holds
that they cannot, and in support Of his
ruling quotes from section 260, chapter
400 of the laws of 1882, which prohibits
savings banks from investing moneys in
stocks or bonds of any State which has
''within ten years previous to making
such investment by such corporation de-
faulted in the payment of any part of
either the principal or interest of any debt
authorized by any Legislature of such
State to be contracted" He then
cites the financial legislation of
Georgia and gives in detail
the history of the issue of the various SER
les of bonds issued by the state. 1t is a
guarantee of $1,5O0,0O0 OF bonds of the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad Com
pany, which 1t repudiated in 1872. upon
which the attorney general bases his con-
clusiOns, and the default on these bonds
ne holds brings the case within the stat
ute of New York regulating investments
of trustees of savings banks.

GENESTA'S SECOND CUP.
THE DAUNTLESS UNABLE To
DEFEAT THE BRITISHER.


The Topmast OF the American Repre-.
sentative Lost During the saiI-Ths
Genesta 20 or 80 Miles Ahead OF her
Rival-J. Beaver Webb In Charge Of
the Gutter.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-The Cape May
challenge cup, presented by James Corr
don Bennett in 1872, will also go to Eng
land as one of the Genesta prizes. The
Genesta In this race won perhaps her
easiest victory by again beating the
schooner Dauntless, this time In q run from
Sandy Hook around the Cape May light
ship and return. The Genesta had the
lead at the start, and plucklly kept it
throughout the race. The starting signal
was given a few minutes before 4 o'clock
Saturday afternoon, and at O'Clock the
Genesta was three miles ahead Of the
Dauntless.
MODERATE WINDS.
The winds were moderate throughout
the night, alternately from calms TO brisk
breezes, with an occasionally lively puff
At 3 20 :23 O'Clock Sunday afternoon the
five-fathom bank lightship of Cape May
was rounded by the Genesta. She had
completed halt the distance In % hourss
o'clock Sunday afternoon the northeast
end lightship was passed, ana few minl
utes later the schooner Dauntless was
deserted about five miles northeast of the
lightship. She was bearing down under
full canvass, save that in place Of her
foretopsail she had her main topstaysaill
and her foretopmast had gone by the
board.
HOW 1T WAS LOST.
IL was not known how the Dauntlesg
came 20 lose her topmaet, but IL was sup
posed that in carrying the balloon sail q
gust OF wind snapped II of, IL having
probably been previously weakened by
the storm she encountered in the Bren@
toms Reef race. She was skimming along
at a rapid gait, and the slight disaster
she had met with did not appear I'd
hamper her progress. 1t is estimated
that she was then between % and 30
miles behind the Genesta. The latter had
the wind fair, with all her canvass seq
and her spinnaker extended. Sunday
evening the Genesta was again becalmedy
and at other times the wind was light.
AT SANDY HOOK LIGHT.
At 10:l1 10 O'Clock this forenoon the

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.-senators Cock

sentatives from Missouri are in the city. E.
At present their object here is to endeavor
to secure the displacement Of the incum-
bents Of various Federal offices in that
State by Democrats. Owing to the failure
Of members OF Congress from Missouri to
agree upon any one of the numerous ap-
plicants for the Federal Offices there, no
changes have as yet been made
In that State. The presence here
Of almost the entire delegation in
Congress is understood to be for the pur-
pose of coming to an agreement upon a
slate. The office over which the greatest
disagreement has existed is that Of Post
master Of st. Louis. 1t is said tonight on
good authority that an agreement has
been reached. and that the name Of Will
liam Hyde, formerly of the ST..
Louis Republican will be presented
TO the President tomorrow as the unani-
nous thoice of the delegation for that
office. The agreement between the men,

said to be that the city OF st. Louis shall

Surveyor and United States Marshal, and
that the Appraiser and District Attorney

INFORMATION OF GOAT SKINS.
Until last June goat skins, which are
So largely imported as the raw material
for certain grades Of leather. were ad-
m tied free of duty; but in June Assist
ant Secretary Fairchild made a decision
TO the effect that goat skins should be
faxed. because of the hair on them, 20 per
cent. ad valOrem. This tax would seri-
Ouslv cripple the trade in these skins.
The importers have paid it under
protest until they could secure a reversal
Of the decision. Representatives of the
importers of New York, Philadelphia and
Boston arrived here to-day to ask Secre-
ary Manning for a hearing in regard to
the matter. He promised to hear them
tomorrow morning at 10 O'Clock. He will
not decide the question, though, until
Assistant Secretary Fairchild, who is in
New York, returns next week. Secretary
Fsirchild will be asked for a statement of
his reasons for the decision, which, with
the argument of the importers, will make
up the case. The importers feel confident
OF success.
