A Settlement OF Foreigners that 10 Ver7-
table Plague Spot.
PAssAIc, N. j., Sept. 2.-The health au-
thorities are thoroughly alarmed over the
importation of cholera. The section OF
Passaio known as Dundee is almost
exclusively populated by foreign people.
They come in on almost every emigrant
steamer. A large number arrived on Sun
day last.
fhe Botany Worsted Company has de-
termined to turn away all applicants for
work henceforth. The health authori-
ties will hold special meeting to take
measures to handle the epidemic in its
breakout.
DR.. Carroll, the city health inspector,
said that IL cholera should break out in
Dundee, and there is great danger that 1t
will, the city could not bury the dead
fast enough. They would die by the
hundreds.
The sanitary condition of that section
of the town Ia SO bad that IL would be-
utterly impossible to check 1t. Not
more than 1910 of the houses have sew r
connections, and the inhabitants know
nothing about sanitation.

Strong Precautions Being Taken to Ward
on Cholera.
Boston, Sept. 2.-Those whose duty IL
Is to guard the encroachments OF tho
cholera are taking precautions to pre-
serve the public safety. The authorities
are alive to the responsibilities that rest
upon them, and are confident that their
plans are judicious and efficacious.
The fact that Surgeon General Wyman
of Washington conferred with our state
and city boards of health upon the occa-
sion Of his recent visit to Boston, and he
is said to have approved the sanitary ar
rangements at this port 10 a subject for
congratulation. IL Is impossible, how
ever, that he could fail to deprecate the
condition of some of the buildings at
quarantine as revealed yesterday. The
satisfaction which he Is said to have ex-
pressed was probably due to his belief
that the board Of health was doing all 1t
could with the funds and facilities at Its
command.
Gov. Russell does not think the cholera
will prove dangerous In this state He
had an informal conference with the
state board of health.
