JAPAN.
Spread of the Cholera - Yokohama
Declared Observation-Disclosures
from Hawaii.

| A notification was issued on the 18th of
July, by the Minister of State for Home At
| fairs declaring Yokohama infected with
cholera. The quarantine Office at Nagaura
has in consequence been closed and all the
officials employed there, with the excep-
ton of few left to look after the stores,
have returned to Yokohama, where there
is plenty of work for them to do. All
places of public assemblage have been
closed, and strict orders issued to the own
ers of restaurants and tea-houses as to the
nature of the food served to customers;
such articles as raw fish being prohibited.
It was supposed that if there was rain or a
reduction in the temperature the cholera
would receive a check, but although both
these desired events have taken place, no
beneficial effect has as yet resulted.
For the week ending July 4th, the total
number of cases in seven prefectures was
2134, of which 1873 were fatal. For the
week ending July 18th, there were 293
cases in Yokohama and 161 deaths.
The majority of cholera patients in the
Osaka hospitals die, while of those attend
ed in their own houses a large proportion
recover. This may not be due to any lack
of suitable treatment, but should perhaps
be attributed to the greater intensity of the
malady when many sufferers are brought
together. Whatever is the reason, how
ever, there Is no dlsput1ng the TACT that
not one-tenth of the patients in the hospit-
ais ever come out alive.
DIR. Sano, Chief of the Medical Inspectors
of Kobe, is trying cholera experiments with
several hares which he has obtained for the
purpose.
A sum of 58, 900 yen has been RENTED to
their families at home by 1180 Japanese
emigrants to Hawaii, who left Japan in
January and June last year. Those from
Hiroshima, Yamaguchi and Kumamoto pre-
lectures are said to be the most saving, and
in these procedures many people have
since sent in applications for permission to
go to the Sandwich islands at their own
expense.
According to official statistics for the year
1885, the total number of births in the
country was 852 800, and of deaths 623, 628,
or daily average of 1888 and 17O8.57
respectively.

TWO MEN WITH NERVE.
Their Trip Through the Niagara
whirlpool Rapids.

Tho turbulent waters of the Niagara
whirlpool rapids were again naYigated in q
cask, the perilous feat being successfully
accomplished by William Potts and George
Hazlitt, two coopers, who were employed
in the same shop with Graham, who made
the initial trip about three weeks ago. The
barrel-boat was ten feet long. conical in
form, and built of the best locust slaves It
was supplied with keel, rudder ana screw
wheel, and turret with glass-covered peep
holes. About 800 pounds of sand ballast
kept it right side up most of the time.
The two men Icy back to back while pass
ing the more turbulent waters, clinging to
handles made fast to the sides of the cask
Each man was kept on his own side of the
cask by means of a canvas sling made fast
to staples.
The start was made from the Maid of the
Mist landing, on the Canada side, at 4 20
P. ". A row boat towed the cask to
point just above the cantilever bridge.
where it was turned adrift in the middle of
the stream. The craft was submerged about
half the time while passing through the
rapids, but while circumscribing the outer
circle of the whirlpool. its occupants thrust
their heads through an opening and Potts
calmly smoked a cigar. A successful land
ing was made at Queenstown on the Cana
dian side, five miles from the starting place.
The voyage occupied ffty-fve minutes.
The feat was witnessed by 10, 900 spectators.

SERIOUS CHARGES.
An Alleged Conspiracy to Defraud
the English Government.


The Sir William Armstrong Arms manu-
featuring Company, is resorting to extreme
measures to estOp military newspaper ex-
pOsures of the company's alleged corruption
of Government officers to secure contracts
for the supply of ordnance Recently the
company applied to the Queens Bench for
an injunction to restrain Captain Armit from
continuing to publish in The admiralty and
Horse Guards Gazette, which he has been
doing every week, fresh allegations of cor
ruption of ordnance officers by the Arm
strongs, pending the result of the action
fer libel brought by the company against
the Captain for his original allegations of
corruption. In succeeding exposures, Cap
tain Arnfit has described in detail alleged
cases of the grossest character, charging
several distinguished personages with cor
ruption and conspiracy, and with having
formed among themselves a ring for the
systematic robbery of the Government.
The Court of Queens Bench has just rem
dered its decision upon the petition for an
injunction. The Court refuses to grant the
injunction and bases the refusal upon the
ground that the alleged libel falls within
the class of privileged communications.
g If these ibels are true,'' it says, " it is of
the utmost Importance that the country
should be made aware of the knowledge
they impart.' Captain Armit's object, it
is believed, is to force the Government to
grant royal commission of inquiry into
his charges.

THE MAYFLoWER
Beats the Swift Puritan by Over
Three Minutes.

If anything was wanting to prove that
the defense of Americas cup lies between
the Puritan and Mayhower, with odds in
favor of the Mayhower, it was furnished by
the race from New Bedford to Vineyard
Haven. The wind blew a good yachting
breeze from the south, and the shelter of
the islands made the sea smooth. The
Mayhower beat the Puritan over three
minutes, and the Priscilla was badly left,
the smooth sea was favorable to
her. The Atlantic was nowhere in the
race. Of the big sloops, the new schooner
Sachem outsailed everything else and led
the yachts in her class. The Galatea got
under way and sailed over with the feet,
but as her racing sails are not bent and her
bottom is covered with barnacles, it is i'm
possible to compare her with the other
yachts. She certainly seems sitter than
the Genesta, and is a wicked-looking boat.
Lieutenant HEM came across in the flag
ship Electra. He would look over the
stern and ask if any one had seen his old
60 sardine-boxr The same sardine-box, y
however, was watched with anxious eyes
by the yachtsmen of the feet. The May
flower defeated the Puritan 3 minutes 80
seconds, the Priscilla7 minutes AZ seconds
and the Atlantic II minutes 50 seconds.
The Sachem beat the Montauk 8 seconds
a nd the Fortuna minutes 8 seconds.

THE BELFAST RIOTS.
More Fatal Encounters Troops Sent
to the Scene.


to the Scene.
Riotiug was renewed with great violence
in the Old Lodge, Grosvenor and Spring
field roads. Many persons with gunshot
wounds have been sent to the hospital.
Additional troops have been telegraphed
for. The aspect of affairs is serious. The
Mayor presided at a three-hours' meeting
of the Executive Committee. There are
rumors current of many fatalities, but it is
difficult to obtain accurate accounts. A
panic is seizing the peaceable inhabitants.
The total, number of persons dead so far is
believed to be six. The number wounded
is unknown, but will probably reach 200.
The Inspector General, with small escort,
was surrounded by mob in Lodge street,
and was obliged to rnn for his life.
In response to urgent kilograms received
at Dublin, 400 infantry soldiers (some of
them being on furlough) were summoned
by bugle in the streets and were dispatched
in haste to Belfast by special train. A
body of 200 dragons and infantry will also
leave. The police of Belfast will be sup
ported by the military.
The British Government has decided to
re-enforce its feet on the American station,
to allow of more vessels being employed in
the protection of the Canadian fisheries.
The corvettes Pylandes and Tourmaline
will leave for that station shortly.

SALISBURY SPEAKS.
The British Premier Discusses the
Irish Problem.

At banquet given by the Lord Mayor
of London, Lord Salisbury congratulated
those present on the result OF the elections
and expressed his pleasure at Lord Rose
berry's consistent continuance of a foreign
policy that had raised England in the est
nation of the nations whose people were
yearly showing desire for peace, which
would be maintained if the rulers were
guided by their peoples wills. He regretted
that there still remained a subject for pain
fui meditation. EVERY news,' he said,
reminds US that Ireland is not yet inhabit-
ed by a concordant and homogeneous people.
1t is too early to enter into details; but it is
the duty of every government to devote its
whole energies to freeing the loyal people
of Ireland from the constraint exercised
upon them, whether in the form of riot or
IN the more dangerous, insidious and affect
ing form OF outrage and intimidation. While
admitting the great difficulty and response

previous Governments equally anxious with
ourselves only succeeded temporarily and
to an imperfect extent, we possess an add
vantage over our predecessors which we
hope to turn to good use. We bear a

and, in my opinion, irrevocably the ques-
ton which has wrecked the peace of Ire |

PreparIng Cor Che ChoIera.

The Board of Health at New York are in
communication with the sanitary authori-
ties of San Francisco, with reference to the
cholera epidemic which is raging at Toxic
and Yokohama, Japan. The question is,
whether if it has been deemed prudent to
suspend communication with vessels from
Mediterranean ports where the pestilence
prevails, a like measure of caution is not
demanded in the case of the Pacific Mail
and other steamers in the Japanese trade?
The New York board has nothing positively
to recommend, but simply suggests that CO.
operative action on the part of the San
Francisco authorities is as necessary to
keep the pestilence from entering Pacific
ports as it is to keep it out of Atlantic cities.
A communication on the same subject has
been addressed to the National Board of
Health.

at Gastein, to Berlin. The journey of four
hours in carriage to the station and three
hours travel by rail with the mercury at 80
degrees told on his ninety years, and he
appeared feeble. The American guests of
the hotel sent a basket of flowers to him
with expressions of respect. On leaving
Salzburg, he requested the Americans to
assemble in the large hall of the hotel,
where he shook hands cordially with each
man, woman and child, and spoke to them
all in German. His grandson, Prince
William. son of the Crown Prince, in
translating his remarks, said: "The En-
peror thanks the Americans for their cour-
tesy, and expresses his profound admira-
ton for the American people"
Chauncey NJ. Depew of New York, an

America are among our best citizens, but
what they give to US takes nothing from
their love for the fatherland. They have

governs" The Prince expressed for the
Emperor renewed thanks for these cordial
sentiments. The Emperor took the AmeIi-

THE FOREST FLAMES.
Disastrous Destruction of Property by
the Fires ian Wisconsin.

Reports from the towns of Eaton, Belle

and one family of five saved their lives by
getting into a we'll Reports from Lancy
and Angelica, in Shawano county state
that the fire is very bad. Five families
were burned ont and their crops destroyed.
A mill near Angelica was burned The
bridg,s on the Little Suamico river are
goni. The people in the burned district
are terrified. The roaring of the flames in
the woods can be heard two miles away.
Big Suamico is out of danger, but Little
Suamico is having q hard time. The
streams are drying up and the cattle are
dying of suffocation. Their bodies can be
found on the roads at intervals. Twelve
miles from Green Bay, in the town of Hum
bolt, a fire is raging fercely. Trenches
and fre-breaks do not stop the flames.
The people in the threatened towns sleep
out of doors, ready for any emergency.
1t is estimated that in Calumet, Clark,
Marathon and few adjacent counties, 500 |
families are rendered homeless and desti- !
tute, and will suffer unless immediate re- |
lief is sent them. Many of these people |
had narrow escapes from death, having /
hidden in wells, submerged themselves i
up to their necks in streams, with wet |
blankets covering their heads, until the fire |
passed. In some places the fire swooped |
down so suddenly upon the people that
they barely had time to seek this method |
Of safety. In other places the roar of the
1ames was heard for miles, and the terror
stricken people fed madly to the neighbor-

even be estimated. Hundreds of homes,
dozens of sawmills and lumber camps and
Millions of feet of timber are in ashes.
Acres upon acres of ripening grain were

FOREST FIRES,
Great Damage Done ON the Line of
the wisconsin Central.

the wisconsin Central.
For an almost uninterrupted distance of
nearly 100 miles north of Stevens point,
along the line of the Wisconsin Central,
forest fires are raging and hundreds of men
are fighting the flames, seeking to save the
towns and villages hemmed in by them.
Telegraphic communication is greatly in
terrupted and details are meager. The COM
plete destruction of the town of Spencer is
fully confirmed, and the loss is now placed
at $1,000 Several hundred people are
destitute and homeless. At Colby, five
miles distant, the fire is raging on two
sides. The village of Prentice, in Mara
thon county, is surrounded by flames, and
it is feared it will be swept out of existence
unless the wind dies down. Near Chippe-
wa Falls, the fires are confined to the
prairies and no buildings have been destroy
ed. Millions of feet of standing pine have
been burned. Thousands of cords of wood
piled adjacent to the railway track, many
hundreds of dollars worth of ties and de-
serted camps, isolated dwellings and much
other property is burned. Telegraph poles
are burned off, miles of wire are on the
ground, and communication between Mil
waukee and points along the northern divi-
sion of the Wisconsin Central road is cut off
except by the railroad company's private
wires, which are operated by means Of
ground connections.
