DYING OF CHOLERA.

Three Thousand Nine Hundred Dsats Re-
ported in Russia Yestsrday-The Disease
Working Great Havoc in tho Famine
Districts.
ST.. PRTERsBURG, August 1.-THE total
number of new cases Of Cholera reported
in Russia yesterday were I,6OO. The total
number of death from the epidemic were
1900. These figures represent all the re-
turns received, but two-thirds OF the towns
attacked have no telegraphic communlca-
tion with the chief town of the provinces in
which they are situated, whith towns MAKE
daily reports to St. Petersburg.
II will thus be seen that the returns are
very incomplete, and that to procure daily
reports of the exact number OF new cases
and deaths is impossible. The known ng-
ures. however, show that the disease Is
causing havoc in many districts. This is
particularly the case in districts aftected
bv the famine. Here the peasants phYslc-
allv IMPOVERISHED by the scarcity on 1000
when attacked by the disease have no
strength to combat il, and die with
scarcely struggle.
The cholera is abating at Mini Novgo-
ROD, AstrakhaR and in the trans-Casplan
territory, but the number OF deaths con-
tinues excessive in the Caucuses, Don
provinces, Saratof, Samara, SimoirsK ana
Qrenberg.
A mob attacked the floating hospital at
Starobelsk, in the Government. OF hhar-
koff and completely demolished II. Inc
doctors were assaulted and would prooa-
blv have been killed had itnot been for the
intervention of the troops, who were sum
rnoned to restore order. The soldiers soon
suppressed the rioting aud arrested the
leaders.

Denounce the Force Bill and It's Authors
in Unmeasured Terms-A Strong Plank
in the Platform.
DOVER, DEL, August 16.-The DEM
ocratic State Convention met this after
noon. Victor b. Woolley was made
temporary chairman. The usual com
mittees were appointed and T. Irving
Handy was named for permanent chair
man. Chairman Handy delivered a
speech reviewing the work OF the Re-
publican administration.
The Presidential electors for the
State nominated by county caucusses
were then named by the convention as
follows: New Castle, Charles B. Lore;
Kent. DR.. Ezekiel Cooper; Sussex, VIM.
H. Coulbourne.
Congressman John w. Causey was re-
nominated for Congress by acclamation.
After adoption OF a plow as the device
to be used as the heading Of the ticket
as required by the Australian ballot law
enacted by the last Legislature and
transacting some minor local business,
the convention adjourned.
The platform adopted pledges loyalty
to the cardinal principles Of the Demo-
cratic faith. The Federal interference
plank is as follows:
THE hordes of armed mercenaries, who
as deputy marshals, infest the polls In the
chief city of the State, perform no function
except to execute the partisan behests OF
local Republican bosses, menace the peace
of the community and illustrate the ten
dency of the Republican party to a
reckless use OF the centralized
power of the general Govern
ment, while the desperate and revo-
lutionary attempts of the last Republican
Congress and President Harrison to in
crease and extend this interference, and to
control from Washington every polling
place in the United States by the provisions
of the Infamous Force bill was refuted by
the courage and patriotism Of the Demo
cratic minority, and met with the indig-
nant condemnation Of the people at the
polls There is no security against repe-
tition of this attempt except the defeat Of
the President and the party who made 1t. y
