me London Times Points Out the
Dangers.
LONDON, Oct. THE Times, whose care
fully prepared letters on the cholera epi-
demic are attracting great attention in Eu-
rope and praise from the highest English
and continental physicians, publishes an
article to-day on the prospects OF cholera for
this aud next year. Itsays; I'VE are already
In October and still the epidemic marches
steadily westward despite elaborate precau-
tion and supposed sanitary perfection. Prob
ably the general public does not gather a
clear idea OF what is happening from a
glance at the kilograms announcing the oc-
currence of few cases in Grodno and
Odessa. These do not sound more impor-
9ant than dispatches announcing the same
condition OF affairs IN SarAtofF and Baku
All are somewhere In Russia where the
cholera is an old story.
THE INVASION OF sPANDAU.
"Similarly the death Of a few llgAtermen
at Spandau in Germany, seems a compare
tive trihe, while the tidinRs OF cholera In
small way from a dozen places in Holland
and Belgium were only to be expected
Even the invasion Of Buda Pesth, the capital
Of Hungary, will not attract much atten-
tion while its effects are confined TO
their present moderate dimensions All
the foregoing will make little inn
preston besides the news from
Hamburg. Paris, st. Petersburg and Gem
tral and Southern Russia that the disease is
subsiding daily, yet they are of ominous inn
port. They mean that the cholera is doing
just what 1t has always doue formerly,
creeping quietly onward and sowing the
autumnal seeds In new ground over a wide
area, which will burst forth luxuriant with
the advent of summer.
WINTERS DANGERS.
at is most mischievous delusion that
after September nothing more ia to be feared
for individual towns and districts which
have borne the brunt Of a severe epidemic.
Winter generally means delivery, but for
neighboring countries 1t means only the be-
ginning of the trouble The recent cholera
news from abroad means that seed il being
Eown over vast area In Central Europe
ready for death harvest in 1893. The
news from Grodno means that Western
Russia right up 60 she Prusslan border aud
beyond is affected the news from Odessa
means that the seed Is sown in the Black
sea httoral and Danubian provinces; the
news from Buda Pesth means that the isola-
tton OF Galicia was an utter failure and that
Austria and Hungary are involved; while
the news from Spaudau means that
the waterways from Berlin TO the
river Oder are infected. The scattered
cases of the disease in the Netherlands
tell the same tale. II precedent is of any
value all those districts and also Poland
aud France will break out into a blaze in
1898. Cholera will knock at many doors
and woe betide IL there is a crack any
where.n
ENGLAND's DANGER.
Continuing, the Times says: "Berliu has
very dubious water and can hardly hope to
escape serious trouble Cholera is almost
certain to be brought TO England again this
autumn and is quite certain TO be brought
here in 1893. probably both from the east
and west meaning the Baltic and Medlter-
ranean). We may be able to exclude the
disease as We have done since 1866; that ia
our best chance, for once it obtains foot.
ing we will not find ourselves IN much
better position than our neighbors. London
in particular has escaped more through good
luck than good management
