HAMBURG, Sept. 3.-There were 917
cases of cholera reported today, and 81
deaths. There were 337 funerals. The
epidemic is increasing in the district
comprising the harbor suburbs, espe-
ciaily at Folenfeld, Barmbeck, Eilbeck
and Wangspeck. The temperature is
l6 centrigrade. The singular fact Is
noticed that the Elbe water is 2 deg
higher than the other waters.
The decrease in the violence of the
epidemic there is slowly becoming
noticeable. although IN the center and
Alster quarters of the city the am
balances are at present buster than
ever. The police now compel
the notification of every case
OF cholera, whether it is be-
ing treated publicly OF privately,
hence an apparent Standstill OF the
epidemic as indicated by h Official re-
turns will be an actual decrease of It's
Virulence. 1t can scarce be SAID 10 be
raging with special violence i'll any one
quarter of the city.
The public charity, relief and med
ical societies committees are actively en-
gagged in the work of palliatiDg the
widespread distress caused here by the
ravages of the disease. Special meas
ures are being adopted to provide for
the numerous children who have been
made orphans through the epidemic,
and who, being deprived of their only
protectors, are entirely %unprovided for,
and are thrown on the charity of the
community at large.
The interments of the bodies of many
persons who have s%uccumbed to the
malady are now being made i'll a more
expeditions manner than formerly.
Yesterday the remains OF 800 victims
were deposited in the earth and arrange
ments were made for the burial of $50
bodies today.

the length of time a vessel was detained

ORIGINATED AT HAMBURG.
All Cholera Cases in Berlin Trace
able to the Stricken City.

aORC W tliO SUttCho1 SItys
BERLIN, Sept. 3.-Cases resembling
cholera are rife enough, especially in
Charlottenberg. The waters in this sub.
urb of Berlin provide only a scanty
supply of muddy water. The sanitary
conditions of the place are otherwise
bad, and it is natural, therefore, to find
Its residents figuring largely in the hos
pital returns of intestinal disorders.
The ~undoubted cases of Asiatic chol-
era that have been taken to the Moabit
hospital are all traceable to Hamburg.
Two fresh cases that were taken there
today are directly traceabie to Ham
burg. One of today's cases was an en-
gineer on the night express from Ham
burg, while the other was a young por-
ter who carried linen for a person who
had Just arrived from Hamburg TO the
dlsinfectlng chambers. The marvellous
rapidity with which the Hamburg in
lection operates was instanced in this
case. Not half all hour elapsed between
the time the victim went near the III
fected linen and the time he was strick-
en- down. The narrow Stein s~trasse,
through which he passed, has been
thoroughly disinfected, as has also been
the Sphienreal gymnasium, which is
situated on that street.
Although there is no sign of the
disease spreading here, the authorities
have not relaxed their precautions.
The great horse market, which was
fixed to open on Tuesday, has been in
definitely postponed. This fair would
have been the likeliest center for the
propagation of the epidemic, as it brings
to Berlin all dealers from every quarter
of Germany near the Baltic sea.
President H9rriSOp'c pircular ia nnin-
lY regarded here as justifylng more rig
0rouS measures to stop Russian or other
emigrants from entering Germany. The
Austrian provinces of Galicia ana Be-
hemia. Hungary, and even Italy send
streams of immigration through Ger
many, and these are likely to be thrown
upon our hands.
Under President Harrison's edict, the
decision of the steamship companies not
TO take steerage passengers on thieves
sells keeps a number of Russian refu-
gees here, but no more will be allowed
to cross the frontier. Henceforth the
frontiers Will be closed absolutely
against Russian immigrants, and in the
case Of those from other countries, none
will be permitted to enter Germany I'M
less the companies conveying them to
their final destination guarantee a full
fllment of their contract. Immigrants
from anywhere will be disinfected and
their luggage fumigated.
The medical papers support the agita-
ton for the compulsory cremation of
cholera victims. The Deutsche Me-
dizinal maintains that there may be a
