New York Authorities Are Anxious About
Cholera.

NEW YORK, Aug. The officers of the
health department of this city, distin
guished sanitary scientists and leading
physicians state that in their belief the
scourge of Asiatic cholera will soon
reach New York, and add that the
dread disease may be expected within
few weeks or even days.
The greatest of precautions are be-
ing exercised to fight the plague, and
President Wilson of the health board
strongly favors the suppression of i'm
migration into this country.
Nearly two thousand emigrants from
foreign cities now infected with cholera
arrived Saturday and were allowed to
land yesterday morning.
Among the arrivals was an Austrian
named Anton Potzel, who was found
wandering about the streets affected
with sickness, and it is believed that
he has the Asiatic cholera.

The plague of field mice has become
so great in Scotland that commission
of the department of agriculture is now
investigating the cause of the evil with
view of devising a remedy. They
nave found that most farmers attribute
the increase of mice to the killing of
weasels and birds if prey by hunters.
The same conclusions have been
reached by intelligent farmers in many
parts of this country. The states of
Pennsylvania and Colorado offered a
bounty for the heads of hawks and
other birds of prey, and as a conse-
quence most of them were killed off.
Soon field mice, gophers and ground
squirrels increased Sc fast that the
farmers wanted a bounty paid persons
who would breed hawks and other
large birds.
