"Cholera is here at last. Would ad
wise all intending Irish emigrants to
remain at home until the danger is
| past"
Colonel steder, superintendent of i'm.
mlgration. said this morning that he
oeileved the cholera would undoubtedly
get into this city. He believed there is
as great danger OF it's being brought
here by cabin as we'll as storage pas
| sengers. he said the cabin passengers
should be quarantined as well as the
steerage In order to protect the country
from the plague. Considerable excite.
ment was occasioned by the report that
the captain of the Nor avia went ashore
on staten Island last night Health Or
hcer jenkins acknowledged that such
was the fact, and said he Immediately
ordered the captain back to his ship
DR.. Jenkins stated, however, that the
captain had had no intercourse with the
infected parts of the ship. The scene
ABOUT the health offices during the morn.
ing was one of intense excitemont.
PEOPLE came in crowds to inquire about
their friends from Germany and other
| foreign ports. Staten Islanders are
much alarmed over the nearness OF the
disease. In past years owing to the
proximity Of hospital islands and quar-
anime grounds they have suffered terri
bly, from yellow fever, cholera and
small pox epidemics.

! HAMBURG, Sept, iSpeciall-There
has been considerable change in the
panicky feeling prevailing here in con-
sequence OF the ravages of cholera and
to- day more confidence is expressed in
the ability of the physicians Official
| figures for yesterday showed great
falling off, both in number and of new
cases and de aths. A general feeling of
relief was experienced, but those ac-
| quainted with the peculiarities OF the
disease knew the temporary cessations
OF its fury were characteristic. Yester-
| day only 139 new cases and forty five
deaths were reported. The city, how
| ever, presents the most funeral appear
ance. There is scarcely house in the
streets along the water front from which
several victims Of tho disease have not
been taken. In some instances houses
| are entirely vacant, all their occupants
| being dead.
There is yet no resumption of general
Dusinefs, and so many shops are closed
that the streets have Sunday look.
| There is steady stream of vehicles
conveying the dead to the cemeteries,
and 1t is thought that by tonight hun
dreds OF bodies, that should have been
buried day or more ago, will have been
| disposed of. The greater part Of the
four hundred bodies reported yesterday

been aroused by the simple but SEEM

LONDON, Sept. 1.-[Speciall- THE
Lancet, the leading medical journal of
England, says it believes the present
state Of affairs prevailing at some Of the
principal ports in the south of England
Is highly discreditable. Regarding the
precautions taken to keep cholera from
obtaining foothod in tho country
the Lancet says: mo means Of isolat.
Ing the first persons attacked by the
disease had been provided. If tho
present emergency passes, as we be-
lieve it will, we hope that the few
months intervening will be utilized in
preparing to combat the malady next
year, which is likely to bring dangers
far in excess OF any into which. we are
now running"
