POLITICAL MATTERS.
Movement to Bring About the Nomination
Of Blaine or Mckinley.

CHICAGO, April 23-The Blaine Club to-
day commenced circulation, in printed form.
a set OF resolutions which were unanimously
adopted by the club, reciting that while
Blaine has declared that he is not candl-
date for the Presidency nevertheless the
people have rights paramount to the indi-
vidual. and that the Office should seek the
man; therefore il becomes the duty of the
individual to ignore his personal desires and
bow to the will OF the majority. Blaine is
extOlIed as!"the greatest American" and as
there exists q widespread and universal
desire that the standard bearer be he OF
reciprocity" In conclusion the Chicago
Blaine Cluo urges upon similar CLUBS
throughout the country and upon the citi-
zens who sympathize with the movement tc
make vigorous and combined effort, which
will result in the nomination of Blaine,
trusting to his loyalty to the party which
honorcd him In the past, to his regard for
the wishes by faithful friends and to his
sense OF duty TO the country TO accept the
nomination.

II think the action of the national DEM

AN EPIDEMIC IN INDIA.
Cholera Raging at Benares Causing Many
Deaths-k Scare in Paris

CALCUTTA. April pa very virulent
epidemic of cholera is raging at Benares
Yesterday there were $50 new cases and l35
deaths were reported. The epidemic is the
result of an utter disregard of all sanitary
precautions. DR.. Gregg, Sanitary Commits
sioner for Bengal, recently issued a report
upon the outbreak of cholera that occurred
at Serampore, a few miles northwest of this
city. Over the whole affected area he found
the water-tanks, of various shapes. sizes
and depths, all contained very dirty water.
Low. foul jungles reekiug with bad smell
surrounded these tanks, the surfaces of
which were almost completely hidden with
thick decaying water plants, while here and
there was clear place where the inhab-
tants wash cooking utensils and draw water
for domestic use. Between aud around the
houses are narrow lanes, bordered by mar
row, deep. uneven drains, In which the fifth
collects. These substances. under the in
fnence Of n hot sun, quickly decOmpOse and
emit foul odOrs. In places DR.. Gregg
actually observed masses Of un-
dulatiDg maggots in portions of decaying
animals" Wherever the people living in
houses in the nelghbUrhood of these tanks
used the water, cholera made its appear
ance. The tanks also are sources from
which the milkmen obtain water for their
cows, and it i3 more than probable they
dilute the milk with the same water. Con-
tiDulng ms inquiries from mouse TO mouse
DR.. Gregg found that wherever the supply
of milk was obtained from cows that drank
al the dirty tanks cholera was present, and
there was a corresponding absence of ehol-
era among the police cUnstables, who were
supplied with clean water from the police
tank and obtained their milk supply from
distance.
PARIS, April 23.-Considerab ble anxiety is
occasioned here by report Of the outbreak
of cholera near Paris. a man living at

be chOle ra. Three other men from Neuiily
and Courbevoie, both of which places are
only few miles from Paris. were subse-
Quently admitted TO the hospital suffering
from the same disease. The authorities de-
clare the cases exceptional and do not fear
the disease will extend.
One of the victims has since died and
thIee others are still suffering. 1t is learned
that 1t is not the dreaded Aslatic cholera
