Fears That Cholera will Become Epi-

tions.
Associated Pross Dispatch by spocial Wires.
l.oNDoN, Aug. 81 There is no DENYING
the fact that the people of England gene.
rally are beginning to be nervouSly appre-
hensive that despite the quarantine regu-
lhtlons at the various ports, the country is
dnomedtu undergo another siege of cholera
plague. That the quarantine regulations
at present enforced do not prevent the in
PRODUCTION of cholera has been abundantly
proved, and many persons claim that the
only ciectual method to keep the disease
at bay is to absolutely prohibit all inter
course with the infected ports abroad. of
course this would entail an immense money
loss and considerable suffering, but it is
claimed that on occasions like the present
the question nf financial loss is Of little con-
sequence, and that the question of prcserv
ing the lives of the people of Great Britain
is " paramount Importance.
large proportion of the people, not
only in England but elsewhere believe
that the approaching autumn, with its
cool weather and lrosts, will check if not
eradicate the disease should it become cpl
dcmc but Il high authority has pointed
out that this belief is erroneous. Professor
j. q. Atllick, NJ. d., medical examiner at
the University of Edinburgh, has declared
IN IN article on cholera written by him
that in general high temperature layors
the development Of the disease. but that
some of the most severe epidemics known
have ragged with the greatest fury in
winter. This being the case. il will be
seen that there can be no relaxation of the
quarantine and sanitary regulations for a
considerable time to come,
THE DISEASE AT DOVER.
The disease has now appeared at Dover,
one OF the chief ports of communication
between England and the continent, and
which has continual intercourse By steam
boats with Calais and Boulogne. France.
Three persons have been attacked by the
disease and died III q short time Theman
came who brought the infection from
Hamburg and his death has caused con
siderable anxiety.
THE BOARD OF HEALTH WAS DECEIVED.
BRUSSELS, Aug. 3l.-A report that has
just been issued by Prof Ermingcn, the
bacterolOgist at the Client University,
places the Schcldte Board of Health in
rather an awkward position. The board
announced few days ago that the disease
prevailing in Antwerp was not true
cholera, and that only n few cases inn
ported from Hamburg were known in the
city. Consequently it decided to issue clean
bills OF health to shipping as usual. Prof,
Ermingen was directed to examine the ex-
creta OF persons suffering with the disease
i'll Antwerp, and the results of his exam
nation are embodied in his report. which
states that there is no doubt that the dis
ease is the genuine Asiatic cholera.
HAS Run ITS COURSE IN TEHERAN.
TEHERAN, PERSIA. Aug. 3l.-The cholera
III this city has at present apparently run
its course, and the epidemic Is now dccreas-
ing, The deaths from the disease yester-
day amounted to 900 This is high NOR
tality. but it is II decrease of 600 compared
with the deaths reported 10 days ago.
STILL CALLED cIoLERINE IN FAIRS.
PARIS, Aug. 3i.--'rhe official returns
show that during the past four days u
persons suffering from cholerine have
been taken TO the hospitals here. The
deaths during the same period were u
The number Of patients still under treat
ment is 10.
THE PEOPLE INDIGNANT.
There is deep indignation felt at the
health authorities for permitting the pas
scngCrs to land Monday last from the
steamer Pergringe from Hamburg. These
passengers were carefully examined and
as no symptoms Of cholera were shown
they were allowed To go ashore, with the
result that they have introduced the dis
ease into one of the most dnnselv popu-
lated quarters of London Tho dangerous
character of the disease and the inciiicicncy
of an examination to show whether or not
people from infected ports carry the in
lection with them is shown in this case.
ANoTuEH DEATH IN LoNpoN
These dispatches announced yesterday
that two cases of the disease appeared yes
tcrduy in the city road, the sufferers being
passengers from the Pergringe. This
morning one of the patients, Il German,
died, and now his wife and child have
been seized with the disease. AS before
said, the district into which the infection
has been carried is filled with an immense
population. OvercrOwiing is fruitful
source for the spread OF the disease. and it
is believed that it will require every aid
known to science to prevent the plague
spreading.
MUST pRoAIEtr IMMlGRNTinS.
The people of the district are loud in
their denuuciation Of what they term the |
huppy-go-lucky methods of the health
authorities and declare that if the only |
precautionary measures that would avail |
anything, absolute prohibition Of immi- |
grafton, had been enforced the disease |
would not have appeared III London.
THEY WE'RE STOPPED Just IN TIME.
