HAMBURG Is VERY SORE.
LACK OF SYMPATHY EXHIBITED
FOR HER PEOPLE.

The Leading Merchants OF Hamburg
Advocating a Commercial Boycott
OF the Towns and Watering Places
Which Refused an Asylum TO Her
Fleeing Residents-Bsrlin's Sense OF
Security Against the Plague.
(Copvriqht. 1892, 6y the N. Y. associated Press)
BERLIN, Sept. 1.-THE residents CT Ham
burg feel very sore over the lack OF sym
patby and abundance Of hostile feeling with
which they have been treated by most of
the German officials, press and people dur
ing their present troubles. The leading
Hamburg papers, the BorSenhalls aud
Hamburger Zeitltng and others, go so far
as to advocate a commercial boycott Of the
towns and watering places which have re-
fused an asylum TO residents who
have fled from Hamburg during the epi-
demic. Many Of the great Hamburg hotels
which were doing d large business prior to
the breaking out of the plague, are now
closed. Yesterday in all the hotels there
were lists Of only fifty guests. These were
chiefly English and American travellers
This is an index of the collapse OF business
Commercial agents, instead of transacting
their business through Hamburg. as the y
did before the epidemic, now deal through
Bremen or Stettin. The current OF trade
is thus diverted and it win be a long time
before 1t resumes its former course.
BERLIN's SENSE OF SECURITY.
The Berlin hotels, which for some
time stood empty in consequence OF
the prevalence Of cholera, are now filing
up with guests. The prompt action ol
Chancellor Won Caprivi In appointing or
imperial health commission for the whole
El0e territory, and the no less prompt ac
tion of Herr Riohthoeifen In supporting the
commission through his officers, have done
much to establish feeling Of security
among the masses.
Within a day after the edict creating the
commission was published competent naval
and military surgeons had taken their posts
along the Elbe and were working hard 10
improve the sanitary condition Of the river
districts. Since the panicky feeling has
somewhat abated a more humane sentiment
toward the people Hamburg is becoming
apparent.
During the past week six Of the largest
banks In Berlin have opened subscription
lists for the relief of the cholera sufferers In
hamburg, the emperor heading them with
a subscription of $4,000 marks. This sum
does not include what he has already given
privately. Asked to report on the prospects
OF epidemic in Hamburg, Prof. Koch stated
that its rapid suosidence is probable. He
adds that there is au improved sanitation as
we'll as q future defense against the reap
pearanoe of ths disease
THE RESULT OF IGNORANCE.
ST. PETERsBURG, Sept. 17.-Ignorant
Russian workmen are now reapinR the fruit
Of their foolish attempts to prevent proper
sanitary measures being taken to check the
spread OF cholera and of their efforts tc
drive the doctors away. Riots, growing
out Of their superstition aud ignO,
rance, have occurred at Hughe-
sofka In the government of Ekaterinoslar
and in their blind frenzy the workmen de-
stroyed the factories and shops, with nc
thought that upon these places they de.
pended for their living. Now there is great
distress in the town ana hundreds of inhab.
itsnts are on the verge Of starvation. They
have been compelled by hunger TO eat Of
all manner of refuse, with the result thai
the cholera Is now raging among then
worse than before. The disease is causing
such ravages that all workmen who RrC
able to do 80 are leaving the place.
