CHOLERA.

The State Commissioner Of the Fistula
(Prussial district reports that the the eplde-
mic is abating in three Of the four Governments
Of Russian Poland. but is seriously increasing
in tAat of Lublia: No new case of cholera
was register ed in Hamburg on Sunday, and
none is said to have occurred since October
%, An Official report states that II deaths
from cholera occurred last week in the whole
Of Holland. Two cases Of cholera have been
admitted into the iazarretto st SInope, the
persons attacked Uy the disease having ar
rived from Odessa. Last month there we've
1856 deaths in Austrian Galicia, enc in Bohe-
mia, and three in Vienna, There were y
new cases Of cholera and five deaths at Buda-
pest on w ednesday.
A relief committee has been formed for the
assistance Of the destitute among the British
subjects in Hamburg, and the work is entirely
beyond the means of the British colony I'M
aided.
The French Government having entered q
protest against the enforcement al Alexan-
dria IF seven days quarantine on arrivals
from NJ arsetles, the regulation has been can
oelled.
Advices from Chung Kung, uid Shanghai,
under date Of September 26, state that the
ravages Of cholera at Cheng Ten have been
appalling. The number Of deaths 7as be-
tween 30, 900 and 10000. All who travelled
even a short distance from home carried cards
with their names and addresses in case OF
death. so universal was the fear Of the cpl
demic.
Under direction Of DR.. Lauenstein, the
specific prescribed by an English chemist and
known as p~eriodate crystals was recently IN
troduced into the cholera wards Of the Sea
mems Hospital at Hamburg, and'after a serie
Of tests has given very satisfactory results.
The remedy had previously been recommend
ed by Sir And < ew Clark III London, instanta-
neously destr oys the cholera bacillus, and is
declared to be perfectly innocuous to man.
1t is claimed that in the early stages of ohole-
IA peliodate is successful in 90 per cent, OF
the cases in which it is employed, an6 even IN
the later stages of the disease cures ~ per
cent. of the patients treated. The remedy
has been tested at the meteorological labora-
tories at Berlin, and is declared to ba efica-
cious in all maladies of microbic origin, mas
much as it destroys the germs without injury

of such commercial promise and splendid

BANANA MEAL.
from the Jamaica Cleaner

IN 0ur AGRICULTURAL column yessterdly ap-
naared an item of considerable interest, III tact
Of vital Importance to those engaged ~ the
almost new INDUSTRY of converting b9aana INTO
meal of -four. Our correspondent states That
that the report sent back from the United
States. bv persons to- whom banana meal hid
been CONSIGNED. invariably stated that, whom
cooked, buildings aud pastry made from inc
meal are almost sure to be bt@cN,and cue oAPa-
rionce Of persons in the island WAC nave tested
the meal point to a similar re5u.. i, liisClt
was thought tb t perhaps the contact q ZION
pans or other metal might have produced th]s
effect. but later experiments have shown that
this certainly is not the cause. Inc banana meal
has been cooked in various ways ~ metal
receptacles and IN enamel Ell or porcelain
vessels, III every instance the meal mas TUNED
Of a dull black colour, and even when m1Ad
with ordinary -four it presents a stfeaAy
appearance, which IS by no means inviting,
Another point is that the new ptoouct IS pre-
tically useless for making light pastry Of
confectionery, as it will not rise 3se t0af, but
turns into ah avy compacj mass, WAA'P "A2'-
ever it may be, looks decidedly IN tS8StloIe.
As our correspondent remarks tins may
prove a serious drawback to the success Of
the banana meal industry and we may state
that it has already had PreJudlelil effect
Many person in HE United States, have pro
baby from curiosity, bought the ihe4i aud g'-
ven it a trial. Reports prove that they never
buy a second time and there can be no doubt bot
that the dingy colour ofthe poddlngs o. pastry
is the cause of the dislike to make d second ex-
periment. for no objection can be offered TO
the taste or smell. Dried bananas, strange
to saw. do not suffer from this defect, and let
ters state 'that they are very much liked,
and the demand is, greater than the supply
The inference TO be drawn is that there is either
somethingin the process Of turning banana
into meal or that the operation has the effect
of changing the chemical constituents Of
which the banana is formed. A rough anal
ysis of the banana and the meal gives the fol-
l,U;no ,asuIt
, 1892-12-07

That the meal is both useful and nutritious
there is no dispute. and no doubt if analysis
we're set to work, the cause and effect would
be easily accounted for. Until this discovery
is made and means adopted to eradicate the
blackness the business will be seriously han
dicapped and probably completely ruined
before it has even attained anythingilike a hold
upon the market. 1t would be a thousand
pities if SO promising an opening for those
engaged in the banana trade were closed
from so trivial a reason and we ask the Gov
eminent to take the matter into their ow
hands by placing it in the hands OF the Off

old Dangers in China Renewed.

oMAHA, May I'm the M. E. general
conference yesterday the committee on
Chinese exclusion made no report, as it
had learned that the bin had been signed
by the president, therefore it was too late
to take action until the exact wording
and condition of the bill was ascertained.
DR.. Swinden offered a motion to have
the question referred to the committee
on the state of the church He feared
the passage of the bill would jeopardize
the lives and property of missionaries in
China, and wanted the matter considered
and disposed of SO the conference might
be thoroughly informed as to the actual
state of affairs. The matter was finally
referred to another special committee
of FIVE ministers and four laymen.

BALTIMORE, May 6.-The young dem
ocracy of Maryland had larg4 meeting
last night under the auspices of the
Cleveland tariff reform club. Resolutions
were adopted demanding that no dele
gate be chosen to the national conyen-
ton who shall not have given an indu-
bitable pledge that he favors tariff re-
form and the nomination of Grover
Cleveland. As regards the tariff and
silver, the resolutions say: 1--WE pro-
test in advance against all attempts at
compromise, equivocations or straddles
in regard to these great issues as cow
ardly and dishonoring to the democratic
party, as it is to the interest of tariff op-
pressors, silver kings and mine-owners
and hostile to the true interests of the
people, and, whether intended or not,
calculated to place the democratic party
in false position, and bring about its
defeat for the benefit of those two
classes"

Holman shown Up.

WASHINGTON, May 7.--If Rep. Holman
has made anything, either for himself,
the state which he is presumed to rep
resent, or saved dollar justly to the
government by his senseless obstruction,
there is not a man living who knows it,
His hypocrisy was shown up in its true
colors yesterday on motion of Reed
to strike out useless item in the
appropriation bill, relating to the
Mama, in Holman's district. It was
done as pretext upon which to base
one of the severest lampoonings Holman
has ever received in his career. The
best part of it all was that nearly every
person on the floor of the house, demo-
Gratis as we'll as repub ublicans, enjoyed the
severe remarks of the ex-speaker to the
fullest extent. It was shown beyond all
question that Holman vas only re-
former and in favor of retrenchment
when it did not affect the state of Indi-
ana, or his own congressional district.
Speaker Reed charged him with never
opposing any appropriation for his own
state, and Holman denied this by say.
ing that he voted against the swamp
land proposition, which would have
been of great benefit to his state. Nc
Rae, of Arkansas, was promptly on his
feet, and denied Holman's statements
in the most emphatic manner The
fact is Holman is humbug of the worst
kind, and was only placed at the head
[ of the appropriation committee as a part
of the bargain by which Crisp. was
elected speaker, and to carry out the
record of false economy upon which the
democrats propose to predicate their
present campaign. The exposure of his
humbuggery and hy pocrisy was one OF

Marquis di Rudini, the prime minister
of Italy rendered King Humbert the res
ignation of all the members of the cabi-
net, due to the refusal of the chamber
OF deputies to adopt vote of confidence
in the governments financial policy of
