Senator Hale Says IL He Does Not Speak
He VIII Write Ringing Letter.

'Ae VIII "Tite u hinginS LetteT.
Mr.. Blaine is confident of republican success
this fall II he has not made public statement
to that effect he has talked it to Senator Hale.
To correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
the Senator yesterday said:
mir. Blaine is regaining his health and get
ting in good spiritS again. If be is well enough
to make the effort of speaking he will make two
or three speeches in Maine before the clubs OF
the state, beginning two weeks from Monday.
Ii not he will write a ringing letter to the
voters OF the state, which will serve as key
note to his friends over the country as we'll.
"Mr. Blaine is just as full Of the enthusiasm
OF repubhcanism as ever, although bowed down
with recent parental grief He says the demo-
Gratis will be defeated in the presidential contest
and Harrison reelected.
This is the logical result Of the political
situation as he views it, and the republicans
should win the national fight Maine and YER
mont will lead the skirnish line of the Novem-
ber conflict by their September state elections.
Maine will give 10 600 to $4,000 republican plu-
rality for Henry B. Cleaves for governor, and
Vermont will roll up an old-time vote
'As to the congressional delegation from
Maine, we shall elect four republicans. Reed 9
majority will be 1,500 to 2,OO0-ma be larger.
He received nearly 5000 plurality two wears
ago, bnt the democrats we're spathetic then
They are well organized now and probably bet

''Mr. Blaine will arouse the Maine republi-
cans when he addresses them in the stirring
words and thoughts with which he is 80 preg-
nant. and we shall have a noble victory all
along the line

REPUBLICAN LEADERS IN LINE.
Senator Quay Says That the Outlook 10,

Senator Quay Says That the Outlook for
the Party is Gratifying.
Republican workers say that there is q great
deal OF unnecessary anxiety in certain quarters
about the ''discontented republican Senators" Z"
This anxiety is not Joined in by the republican
managers, they say, for the very simple reason
that they know that every one of these men
whom the democratic papers refer TO as sulking
are either at work now for the republican ticket
or nre ready to go to work at any time they are
needed or there is opportunity for them TO do
anything. Every man is declared to be in har-
ness.
Senator Quay says be is not sulking. He
passed through Washington last evening on
his way to Florida to engage in his favorite
pastiine-tarpon fishing. He will be back
before the campaign is properly warmed up.
The story that certain republican leaders do
not intend to work for the republican ticket"
he said, lis merely the weak invention of the
enemy. 1t is hardly worth the denial, and l
am often surprised that time paper and print
ing materials are wasted in giving publicity to
such stories, so palpably unreal
81 have talked with republican leaders from
all parts OF the country who have been repre-
sented to be sulking and know they are
heartily supporting the presidential ticket.
Personal feelings do not control in such
matters, else the principles of our party would
count for nothing. Republicans are essen
tally loyal, and, besides, common sense would
indicate the propriety Of supporting the ticket
where duty and devotion to principle did not.
The situation in New York has steadily i'm
proved for the republicans in the last six weeks.
The democratic presidential ticket is weaker
than when first nominated"
Senator Quay SAID the republican man.
ayers had made systematic canvass of the con-
ditions of the country and reports were
gratifying.
The republican managers are not" he said
" rainbow chasers.' They will ascertain the
exact situation in order to be prepared to meet
it.
l think the outlook is generally favorable and
the conditions in the southern states fully war
rant the hope of getting some electoral votes
from that quarter"

McPhersons Hand Book of Congress is ready

comparison made between the first session of
the Flfty-second Congress and the first session

Of the former. The book will give figures to
support the statement that the present

Of accomplishing any great things, and. in spite
of its great efforts to make a record less eco
nomical in expenditures than was the Reed
Congress- Mr.. McPherson says that this Con-
gress has not scored a single point to go to the
country on with a claim for approval.
There is great demand from southern demo-
crats for republican literature on the peoples
party and alliance. The democratic committee
are sending out thousands of Gen. ID. B. Hem
derson's speech on Weaver and there have been
many applications for republican documents.
The republican committee attack the third
party people on the financial issue. The demo-
Gratis are not exactly in a position to do this,
and therefore they want the republican ammu-
milton for their fighting.

Indignation Against the Authorities-Citi-
1ens Preparing for Flight.

AHoiSnAtl0u against the Authortttes-Citi-
zens Preparing for Flight.
ANTWERP, Aug. 25.-The excitement caused
by the acknowledgment Of the physicians that
AHiatic cholera is in the city has not subsided
and those who can afford to do so are making
ready to flee to various places to escape the dis
ease. There is no appreciable change in the
situation. 1t is decidedly believed that the dis
ease reached here from some vessel fl ON an in
fected port and there is considerable indigrs-
ton that the authorities did not enforce the
quarantine regulations until after the disease
had got a firm foothold in the city. 1t has
transpired that the first persons to fall victims
to the disease were dock laborers. They we're
taken to the hospitals. where the doctors. though
they were probably fully aware that the disease
was Asiatic cholera, stated to newspaper repre-
sentatives and others that it was common
cholera and that nothing was to be feared from
It. They acted On the worn-out theory that the
concealment Of the presence Of a disease
whi prevent its spread, but that
their reasoning was fallacious was soon
proven, for other patients were soon taken to
the hospitals suffering with the same disease
and the number of cases has constantly in
creased since The first victims died mostly i'm
mediately after entering the hospitals, and the
appearance OF the bodies, if nothing else, was
sufficient proof that common cholera had
caused death. The bodies retained their
heat for longer period than is
usual when death is caused by another
disease, and they looked as though they
had been through long attack of sickness.
Many physicians hold that post-mortem ex-
animation would have solved the fact that
malignantand notsimple cholera was the cause of
death. II is thought that the hospital physicians
were fully aware of the presence of the scourge,
but that they were compelled by the authorities
to deny it. total of one-fourth of
all the patients which have been removed to
the lOsDltals have died The eft,raro ro,,fin
lations are now being enforced with great Sc
verify. Every vessel from French, German
and suspicious ports, although it may have no
cholera on board, is detained for observation.
but this course is held to be useless. as the dan
ger now lies in the spread of the contagion
from sources inside the city. The health off,
GERS are using every known preventive to
check the disease

BERLIN PEOPLE FRIGHTENED.
Fears That Cholera Has Broken Out i'm the
German Capital.

BERLIN. Aug 25.-There are serious fears
that the cholera has broken ont in this city.
The wife of merchant named Landrock. lv-
ing at No. 10 Golden strasse, died at midnight
last night with symptoms of Asiatic cholera
The case is being investigated. At a conference
Of leading medical men held yesterday the
opinion was unanimously expressed that an
epidemic Of cholera was unlikely. 1t was sug-
gcsted however, that everybody should take three
drops OF muriatic acid daily in u tumbler of
water, and that great care should be taken to
keep flies away from the food. The authorities
on the frontier have been admonished to re-
double their precautions against the admission
of persons or articles suspected of infection.
and everywhere the local sanitary officials are
displaying the utmost vigilance.
The president of the Berlin police has made
It known through the press that doctors and
heads OF families are bound instantly to report
all cases Of illness suspected to he cholera SO
long as the epidemic shall continue. As letters
and papers from Russia are not disinfected as
they were during former epidemics, persons
receiving such things from places where the
cholera prevails are advised to burn them as
soon possible and to take care to cleanse
their hands thoroughly.

A New Disinfecfanf-

VIENNA, Aug. 25.-The chief sanitary board
Of Austria publishes statement regarding the
value Of series of new disinfectants, which, in
view OF the cholera danger, are OF
much interest. The special attention Of the
public is drawn to the so-called
'.lysol," which is compounded of caustic

annihilate the common bacillus at the shortest
notice. IL SO it viii be more effective remedy
than carboL II is not at all Of
corrosive nature; on the contrary
if mixed with proper quantity Of
water it renders the skin very smooth, qualities
which render it especially useful for washing
the hands, linens and floors, and for similar
purposes. Moreover, besides possessing cleans
ing power in an eminent degree, il is much less
poisonous than carbol The sanitary board
bere has, therefore, ordered lysol to be classed
among the officially recommended remedies.

THE CHOLERA IN RUSSIA,
The Daily Reports Show an Increase in the
Number of Cases.

The Daily Reports Show an Increase in the
Number Of Cases.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 25-The official
cholera report continues to show the usual
fluctuations in the cases and deaths reported.
Yesterdays new cases were ia in excess Of
those reported on Tuesday, while the deaths
were eighty-four in excess Of those reported on
the same day last week. Yesterdays totals, ac-
cording to the official figures were 5,679 new
cases and 2,743 deaths. The disease is spread
ing in this city, but the people now show little
concern about it. Though the number of new
cases reported here is larger the death rate is
smaller. The doctors say that the disease Is
less virulent in its character and that in addi-
ton to this the number Of deaths has been
lessened by the better arrangements for the
treatment of patients. When the disease first
became epidemic the physicians in the city were
greatly overworked, but now q number Of doc
tors from other places are serving in the hos
pitfalls and much closer attention can be given
to the sufferers. The number of hospital at
tendants has also been largely increased and this
allows OF much better care being taken of
the patients. There has been no relaxa-
tion of the strict sanitary regulations and any
violation Is met with prompt punishment. 1t is
believed that the custom that prevails among
the poorer classes, many of whom during the
summer leave the city and live at Starays, No
vaya, Derevnya, Polustrovo and other suburbs
Of st. Petersburg, has done much to prevent
an even greater mortality in the city. As yet
these places have been little affected By the
disease. Though the outlook II better at pres-
ent the authorities are looking. forward

Six maidens led by two widows dragged a

LOOK OUT FOR A STORM,
The Ind ications Man Looks for q Big O
This Evening.

The ndications Man Looks for q Big One
This Evening.
The weather bureau man thinks he has finally
completed arrangements with one Jupiter Plu-
vius to do little sprin king around Washing
ton and vicinity this evening. J. p is now full
filling similar contract with large area Of
country, the whole eastern half Of the United
States, with the exception Of this neighbor-
hood and New York and New England.
The conditions for the past twenty-four
hours indicated that the sprinkiing was about
to commence here, and the weather bureau
man confidently expected from hour to hour
that it would begin, but for some reason,
whether it is because "the watched pot does
not boil' or what not, actual operations have
been deferred.
There is every indication Of q heavy storm
this afternoon or tonight. The barometer has
fallen half an inch within twenty-four hours
That means trouble.
If the captain Of sailing ship, off the capes
Of the Chez apeake, for instance, should note
such fall of barometer he would prepare for q
blow. He would call all hands and send down
his top gallant mast and light yards. Then he
would lay her to with clOse-reefed main top
eail, fore storm staysail and storm mizzeH II
it continued to fail. as it is doing today. he
would batten down his matches. run life lines
aionS the deck. secure his small boats and keep
an eye to windward for further developments.
On shore. the only precautions necessary are
not to wear nannel suits or white dresses down
town, be sure to take your umbrella. shut the
upstairs windows before you leave the house,
and then 60 calmly about your business.
IL You could only see how the weather bureau
man prepares for the changes himself You
would be all right That weather bureau man
has been known to predict fair weather and
then bring his umbrella down on the sly; to
prophesy cool wave and have palm-leaf fan
concealed under his coat
The mercury rose four degrees in one hour,
between lC and II O'Clock today It il said
that no decided changes in the temperature
will occur.
