C0pyrio1t, 1892.
LONDON, September 9.-0fficial re-
ports show that the cholera has been
absolutely stamped out OF the United
Kingdom. The local government board
officers, the authorities at the chief
ports and the greatest poDulous centres
concur In the statement that no cases
Of real cholera, and but only afew
choleric cases have occurred. Experts
say that though the disease was brought
to England at dozen different points,
it has been limited to persons arriving
from infected places.
Inoculation against the cholera is be-
ing practiced at the hospitals upon vol
untary patients. 1t is reported to be
effective, involving only slight feverish
symptoms. After undergoing the pro-
tective process for a few days perfect
immunity from the disease is attained.
Mr.. John c. New, the American Con-
sui General here, told the representa-
tive OF the Associated Press that there
was no reason to suppose that the
steamship companies were trying to
evade the regulations laid down in Pres
ident Harrison's circular. He had con-
sular reports on each vessel sail
ing. and he found the cessation
of steerage traffic general. Where in
stances occurred like the Marathon, the
steamer despatched by the Cunard Com
pany to carry emigrants, he was duly
apprised and warned the agents OF the
companies to take the necessary precau-
tions against infected passengers or
baggage. He knew of no instances
since the circular came into operation
where d ship carried both cabin passen-
gers and emigrants. The saloon pas
sengers now embarked sailed on the
definite assurance that the vessels did
not carry emigrants.
Referring to the question discussed
in London daily whether, II the assur-
ance is broken and cabin passengers are
detained In quarantine or otherwise
suffer, they have " claim for damages
against.the steamship companies, Mr..
New sa1 that he was decidedly OF the
opinion that.they could so claim.
Among the first fruits of Chief Secre-
tary Morley's presence in Ireland Is the
release of a man who has been i'm
prisoned for contempt of Court by defy
ing the decision OF iudge on ques-
tion of eviction. Mr.. Morley has gone
the whole length the law allows him in
releasing this prisoner. Asked II he
would refuse to aid the police in effect
ing evictions in Ireland, Mr.. Morley
said that he has been warned that he
was bound by law to assent to officers
assisting a sheriff in carrying out evic-
tions. If he refused to give such as
sent. then the Irish Unionist would in
dict him for breach OF the law.
The convention Of the Trades Con-
gress now in session at Glasgow is the
biggest meeting that that body has ever
held. There are in attendance 495 del
egates representing 1,219,934 members.
The convention is attracting little in
terest and much Of the proceedings
verge on the farcical.
The failure of the House and Land
Investment Trust (Limited), announced
to-day, is part OF series of gigantic
bank and building society suspensions
now involving liabilities approximating
Sc. 600, 900. The first failure announced
in this series was that OF the London
and General Bank (Limited), the next
that of the Liberal or Liberator Perma
nent Building and Investment Society,
and now comes the suspension OF the
Land and Investment Trust. The capt.
tai of each of these concerns does not
represent anything approaching the Ii
abilities. The money which they owe
is chiefly due to depositors and invest
ors, who have been induced to partici
pate in the affairs OF the concerns by
the alluring high rate Of Interest which
they offered. The liabilities Of the Lon
don and General Bank are roughly es-
timated at 81, 900, 900, those OF the Lib
orator Society at 60, 500,0 900, and those
OF the House and Land Trust at 60, ,000,-
600. Another great Building and bank
society is involved in serious
financial difficulties but its suspension
has not yet been sannounced. The col
lapse of this concern will shake the
whole building society system In Great
Britain. A run occurred to-day on the
oldest and most prominent bank In
London, the Associated Workman's
Building Funds. Although the sus-
pensions must affect the general
financial position it is sing
nlar fact that the crisis
cause no panic or scare. The Limited
Building Bank investors are all small
capitalists, whose life savings are swept
away or are imperiled by the failure OF
the concerns to which they have en-
trusted their money. The losses which
led to the suspensions are chiefly trace
able to injudiclons specuIations in land
blocks. Malversation attaches to the
directors OF all of the ruined companies,
and the shareholders charge them with
concealing the true position OF the in
stitutions.
The race week at Doncaster which in
cludes the great st. Leger stakes, lacked
its usual social brilliancy. Many OF the
leading country families were absent,
or were only thinly represented.
The largest party which attended the
meeting was that of the Duke OF Port
land at Welbeck Abbey. 1t included
the Duke of Beaufort, Earl and Coun-
tess of Cadogans, the Earl of Ennis
killen and Lord Randolph Churchill.
The Queen will present unique we'd
ding present to Princess Marie, daugh-
ter of the Duke of Edinburgh. on the
occasion of her marriage in October 10
Prince Ferdinand, the heir apparent to
The throne OF Romania. The gift is
