phate company. For some time the stock

NO CHOLERA IN GREAT BRITAIN.

Absolutely Stamped Out of the King
dom-The Record Elsewhere.
(Copvrtoht, 1892, By the " Y. Associated Press)
LONDON, Sept. 9.-The official reports
show the cholera has been absolutely
stamped out of the United Kingdom. The
local government board officers, the au-
thorities at the chief ports, and the greatest
populous centers concur In the statement
shat no cases ofs real cholera but only few
choleraic cases have occurred. Experts say
that though the disease was brought to
England at a dozen different points, it has
been limited to persons arriving from the
infected places. The medical press assumes
q triumphant tone at the success OF the
sanitary arrangements.
DEFENSIVE MEASURES DEFECTIVE.
The Lancet admits, however, that de-
fensive measures are IN two respects defect
i've. The system of keeping the people
arriving from infected places under in
speotion for only few days does not sutti-
ciently provide for immigration, aliens not
knowing where they would lay their heads
next The fact that the Hamburg ships
replenished their water from the cholera
polluted Elbe was overlooked. Still the
results prove, the Lancet says, that the
English system of inspection is superior to
the ordinary quarantine regulations. 1t is
not certainly iufallible. The disease may
filter through the meshes of sanitary admin
istration, but general cleanliness and at
tention given to sanitation, no quarantine
is necessary to repel the inroads Of the
cholera. The tone of the Lancet actually
Representa- the feeling Of the country.
THE LOCAL BOARD vIG1LANT.
The local government board keeps vigilant.
II has sent to the provinces staff OF trav-
cling inspectors to arrange everywhere for
the treatment Of patients. In the event OF
a death occurring cremation is officially
approved as the soundest method for the
disposal OF the bodies. incubation against
the cholera is being practiced at the hos
pitals upon voluntary patients. 1t Is re-
ported to be effective, involving only a
silent feverish symptom. After undergoing
protective process for few days perfect
immunity is attained.

A SERIES OF GIGANTIC SUSPENSIONS.
(CopBrioht, 1892, 6V the N. Y associated Press)
LONDON, Sept 9.--The failure of the
House and Land Investment Trust 0imited)
announced to-day Is part Of a series Of
gigantic bank and building society sus-
pensions now involving liabilities approx
mating &c, 900. coo. The first failure an
nounced in this series was that OF the
London and General Bank Qimited), the
next was that Of the Liberator Permanent
Building ead Investment Society, and now
comes the suspension of the House and Land
Investment Trust. The nominal capital Of
each of thess concerns does not represent
anything approaching the liabilities. The
money which they owe is chiefly due TO
deposltors and investors who had been in
duced to participate In the affairs Of the
concern by
THE ALLURING HIGH RATE OF INTEREST
which they offered. The liabilities Of the
London and General Bank are roughly esti-
mated at 81, ,000, ,000; those Of the Liberator
Society at 60, 500, 900, aud those of the
House and Land Trust at 60, Zoo, 900. An-
other great building and banking society Is
involved in serious financial difficulties, but
its suspension has not yet been announced.
The collapse Of this concern will shake the
whole building society system Of Great
Britain.
RUN ON A BANK.
A run occurred to-day on the Oldest and
most prominent bank in London, the As
sociated W orking Building Funds. Although
the suspension must affect the general
financial position, it is a singular faot that
the crisis causes no panic or scare. The
limited building bank investors are all
small capitalists, whose life savings are
swept away OF are imperiled by the
failure of the concerns to which
they which intrusted their money.
The losses which led TO the suspensions
are chiefly traceable to injudicious specula-
tions in land blocks So far no suspicion OF
malversation attaches TO the directors OF
any OF the ruined companies, although the
shareholders charge them with conoealing
the true position of the institutions. Al-
though the financial situation IN the mean
time is unaffected, the widespread ruin
brought on small investors by these disas-
tsrs must soon cause a strain upon the big
