NEEDLESS OF SANITATION.
HAvRE, Sept. There were fifty
nine new cases of cholera yesterday in
this city. There were nineteen deaths
from the disease during same time.
The epidemic thus far has been con-
fined to the quarters of the city &C.
cupied by workingmen who pay no
attention whatever to hygienic in
structions issued for their benefit.
Through their ignorance the whole
city is threatened and the feeling
among the more intelligent classes is
that the workingmen should be made
to realize the danger to which they
are exposing the inhabitants and
forced to obey the sanitary regulations.
PRETENsE AT QUARANTINE.
STETTIN, Sept. Hundreds of
Russian Jews arrive here by sea from
Memel, or by rail from Eidekuhnen.
On their arrival they are quarantined
on an island under the supervision of
medical authorities until the sailing OF
steamers for America. This quaran-
tine is of little value, as emigrants are
not detained any certain time, but are
hustled on board steamers as quickly
as possible. The German authorities
wish to have as little trouble as
possible. Many may be shipped to
AmeIic after single days quaran-
tine. That many came from infected
districts is proven by the statement of
United States Consul Kellogg, who
told an Associated Press correspond
ent that the last steamer, which sailed
Aug. 6, had quite a number of pas
sengers from infected districts aboard.

ton this morning few minutes before
8 o'clock, and were at once driven to
the executive mansion. The presi-
dents unexpected return to the CAPT.
