NOT PREPARED.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-The quaran-
tine inspection commission appointed
at the recent national conference of
the state boards of health concluded it's
work here and resumed it's tour, which
will extend along the entire At
lantic, Pacific, Mexican and Canadian
borders. A report will be made as to
the sanitary condition of every port of
entry along this vast stretch of border.
DR.. j. NJ. Mccormack. health officer of
Kentucky and member of the COM
mission, gave some interesting particu-
lars of the inspection tour and of it's
bearing on the cholera. He said:
1--WE have inspected every border point from
Halifax to New York city, and have data from
which reports will be made on the sanitary con-
dition of every point of entry. We found the
stations in the main unprepared for
the cholera emergency which has come.
They have antiquated disinfecting facilities
and insufficient accommodations for the
sick. Thus far New Orleans and Charleston
are the only ports in the country properly
equipped to keep out plague. 1t has been DR..
Jenkins stubbornness which has saved New
York up to the present time, for he was willing
to give discomfort to few thousand people in
order to save 81, 900 900 people.
DR.. Mccormack said that in one re-
spect the cholera will confer a benefit
upon the country. It has so alarmed
the people that streets, alleys and sew
ers will be thoroughly cleaned and the
entire country will be in better SAM
tary condition than ever before. This
improved condition, he says, will ma
terially reduce the mortality from or
binary diseases.

nosis of the attending physician in the
case of Peter Callahan, a suspected
case, to be correct, in that the death
was due to diarrhea and exhaustion.
The report of the psychologists as to
the case of Mary Connerty, suspected
cholera case, is to the effect that no
spirillium of cholera has been dis
