precedented scenes at the entrance and
within the auditorium. Crowds cheered
his carriage as it drew up at the door

the densely packed audience rose
and cheered him for several minutes. AS
the uproar first subsidized, somebody
shouted: Three cheers for Morly and
home rule" The men IN the audience
jumped on the seats, waving hats and
handkerchiefs and shouted five minutes
more. Then the orchestra played God
save the Queen. Most persons in the

LONDON, Oct. THE Times contains
to-day an article concerning the pros
poets Of a cholera epidemic next year.
After mentioning the cases constantly
appearing in those cities and towns of
Russia, Austria, Hungary and the Meth
erlands which were spared in August
and the early part Of September, the
Times says: "The reports mean that
cholera is doing just what it has always
done formerly creeping quietly onward
and sowing the autumnal seeds in new
grounds which will burst forth luxuri-
antlv with the advent of summer"
''The news from Grodno means that
western Russia up to the Prussian border
and beyond is infected; the news from
Odessa means that the seed is sown in
the Black sea district and the Danubian
provinces the news from Buda Pest
means that the isolation of Galicia was
an utter failure and that Austria and
Hungary are involved. The news from
Spandan means that the waterways from
Berlin to the river oder are infected
Scattered cases in the Netherlands tell
the same tale. If precedent is of any
value all those districts and also Poland
and France will break out into blaze in
1898"
