HAMBURG, Sept. There has been
considerable change in the panicky feeling
prevailing here in consequence of the
ravages OF the cholera, and to-day more
confidence is expressed in the ability Of the
physicians to cope with the disease. The
official figures for yesterday showed great
falling off both In the number OF new cases
and deaths. A general feeling of relief was
experienced by those acquainted with the
peculiaritieS Of the disease, though it
is known that Temporary csssations
Of it's fury were characteristic Yesterday
only l39 new cases and 45 deaths were re-
ported. The city, however, presents a most
funereal appearance. There is scarcely
house in the streets along tho water front
from which several victims OF the disease
have not been taken. In some instances
houses are entirely vacant, all their occu-
pants being dead.
There is yet no resumption Of general
business, aud so many Of the shops are
closed that the streets have Sunday look.

thought that by tonight hundreds OF bodies
that should have been buried day or more
ago will have been disposed OF. The greater
part OF the 400 bodies reported yesterday as
lying uncared for In the drill shed have

Great interest has been aroused by the
simple, but seemingly effectual, treatment
OF warm salt water recommended by Profs
Northnagel and Kohler. 1t is claimed that
this treatment has reduced the death rate

sTKTTIN's METHODS.
SrErTIN, Sept. Hundreds Of Russian
Jews arrive here by sea from Ynemel or by
rail from Eittkuhnen. On their arrival
they are quarantined on the island under
the supervision Of the medical authorities
until the sailing Of steamers for America
This quarantine is Of little value, as immi-
grants are not detained any certain length
of time but are hustled on board steamers
thorities wish TO have as little trouble with |
them as possible. That many Of them come |
from infected districts is proved by state |
ments of Uaited States Consul Kellogg, |
who told the Associated Press |
correspondent that the last steamer |
which sailed, on Aug. 3, mad quite
a number of passengers from infected dis |
tricts aboard. DR.. Schulz, the royal dis |
trict physician, who has charge OF the |
quarantine, told the correspondent that the |
medical examination which the immigrants |
underwent was Of no actual value and was |
only carried out in order TO quiet the fears |
of the Stettin burghers. Baggage comes |
through unopened all the way from Russia |
and unless thoroughly disinfected upon it's |
arrival in New York a single chest or |
trunk might form a Pandoras box, |
spreading the dread disease through |
America.
LoNDoN's DOUBLE DANGER.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-Official figures issued |
to-day show that the scarlet fever epidemic |
that has been raging in London for a long |
time past shows no sign of abatement.
There are to-day in the Metropolitan asylum |
and London fever hospitals $500 cases of
this disease. With scarlet fever epidemic
and cholera threatening TO become so, 1t
will readily be seen that the health authori~ |
ties will have their hands full in fight with
the two disorders.
The Lancet, the leading medical journal
Of England, says it believes the present
state or affairs prevailing at some Of the |
principal ports in the south OF England is |
highly discreditable. Regarding the pre-
cautions taken to keep the cholera from OBJ |
tanning q foothold in the country, |
the Lancet says; mo means OF |
isolating the frat persons attacked by |
the disease had been provided. II the pres |
ent emergency passes, as we believe it will, |
we hops that the few months interval will |
be utilized In preparing to combat the |
maladY next year, whloh Is likely to bring |
dangers far in excess OF any into which we |
are now running
