Russia's Sub-TrcaSury
Scheme.

Consul General Concord. at St.
Petersburg, has transmitted to the
department of State an important
report upon the details and work
inSS upon Il system now In prac-
tee in Russia resembling certain
plans Incorporated in the platform
of the Farmers Alliance in this
copntry> of making advances on
farmers gain stored in warehou-
ses delivered To- officials Of the
railways Of the country. The sd
licnt points Of the system briefly
stated are as follows:
The advances on grain may be
made by any railway company on
account OF the Imperial Bank of
Russia authorized by The ministry
uf finance. They must not exceed
10 per cent cf the value of the
grain at the nearest market place.
except in cases of loans for six
weeks or less, when an so per cent
advance may be obtained.
The usual Interest is 6 per cent,
payable in advance, with further
small charges on account of sink
ing fund and commissions to rail-
roads. The loans range from six
months to one year, and if not re-
paid at their expiration the grain
is sold by the railroad company at
auction. Grain may also be sold
if in danger of deterioration. or if
it is feared that the value will not
coyer the loan and expenses of
storage. The railroad companies
bear the entire responsibility for
the loan of the bank and are rr-
uuired To meet their liabilities
within seven days of settlement of
"A loan or auction sale of grain.
In calculating the percentage of
advance. the cost of transportation
to the point of destination is char
ged as part of the loan. No dis
tinction is made between farmers
and middlcmen i'll making advan-
ces, the loan being made only on
The grain.
In conclusion the consul gener-
al says: This scheme went into
effect on June l-26. 1883, and at
the present day it is generally
adopted throughout the country
and business is carried on under
it IN q very large scale. ] should,
also add that the scheme gives
great satisfaction to the farmers.
very many of whom declare it has
been an essential feature of sue
ressful farming in Russia"

"Cholera follows the channels Of trade
and commerce." said DR.. Sayre. 1T
follows the movements of the people.
That is its universal history, whether it
goes in the wake Of an oriental caravan,
of a pilgrimage to Mecca, on the trains
of a railway or is brought in the steer
age of a ship. 1t may come in the
clothes Of persons who have been ex-
posed; bale Of rags may place n nation
under the scourge. 1t is swift and in
sidious in its movements, but it may be
kept out with proper vigilance, and
once here, with adequate treatment, it
may be confined and finally extermi-
mated. "The frost idea," the venerable
doctor continued, "does not carry in the
case Of the Atlanta, which brought chol-
era here in 1863 It was in the last part
Of November that she came, and the
weather was cold and bleak. The news
that a cholera ship had arrived reached
me late at night. | was then resident
physicians The health officer, DR.. Swim
burne, was absent 1t fell to me to at
tend this ship lost no time. Tele-
graphing the mayors Of adjacent towns,
/ took a small dory and went to the
ship. The night was cold and stormy.
The foul hold was filled with the sick,
the dying and the dead. Thirty had
died and many more were sick.
II converted the vessel into a floating
quarantine then and there. All the vic
Tins were in one end Of the ship. /
placed a row Of tubs filled with carbolic
acid across the hold. The sick were
thus fenced off from the we'll. Guards
were placed on this line with orders to
shoot any person who crossed it. All
clothes and bedding were immersed in
tubs of carbolic acid with oil on. top.
The sick were treated, and finally the
disease wore itself out. It was confined
to the ship. The conditions were much
more unfavorable then than now, and
an efficient service ought to stop the dis
ease wherever it may show itself.
"The great need of the hour Is federal
control of the guarantees. 1t must be
uniform and strict, and the only way
this can be secured is through the gen
oral government. In the winter of 1866
tried to get congress to act. 1t was
not long after the Atlanta came to port
and the cholera was in the country from
other sources. / tried to use this Incl
dent and this fact as arguments, but
they pooh poohed it. Senator Zachariah
Chandler was chairman Of the com
merce committee, which had charge Of
the subject. He said he had had cholera
twice and that quarantines could moi
keep it out / asked him where he had
It. He said at Detroit. How did it get
&c Detroit? From Quebec. How did il
get to Quebec? Thechairman scratched
his head. He said that after all there
might be something in the quarantine
idea. But nothing was done. The old
and dangerous system was allowed t.
continue, and it continues today.

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-"The Asiatic
cholera is as likely to come to our shores
and spread in winter as in summer" said
DIR. Lewis A. Sayre to me today.
had called his attention to an official
dispatch from Washington saying that
immigration from the infected ports Of
Europe, and especially from Hamburg,
Bremen, Antwerp and Havre, would be
practically suspended until frost. The
inference is obviously that the chief Of
the marine hospital service, who is the
adviser Of the secretary Of the treasury
in this matter, is proceeding upon the
idea that frost will kill the cholera
germs and stop the disease, as it does in
the case Of yellow fever.
Nothing could be more erroneous"
said DR.. Sayre. "The cholera has never
made worse ravages on earth than in
Russia in midwinter, when the tempera-
ture was much lower than we ever have
it here. 1t is folly to think that frost
will check it, and if that is the action Of
the officials who control the immigrant
service, and if the restriction is TO be
relaxed or withdrawn when freezing
weather comes, the country will GER
tainly be subjected TO a very grave dan
ger"
DR.. Sayre is the oldest practicing
physician in New York. For fifty
years he has studied the subject of in
fectious and contagious diseases. He
has beeh Through all the cholera vista
tons sinde the memorable one Of 1882,
and has practiced extensively among
the sick with this disease. Under FIVE
mayoral administrations he was resi-
dent physician Of the city Of New York
and has had a great deal to do prac-
tically with guarantees and public sani-
tation. His publications have been di-
versilied and copious, and as a lecturer
before the Bellevue Medical college his
fame has gone far and wide. There
fore when he talks about fighting Ash
attic cholera he is man to be listened to.
