many OF the Jewish emigrants who
pass through the city, is such that
should cholera break out among them

CHICAGO, August 25.-Dr. F. w.
Reilly, secretary OF the state board Of
health, arrived in the city this morning
to confer with the health authorities OF
the city relative to preventive meas
urcs against tho introduction OF cholera
into this state. He says that If the dis
case should secure a foothold in this
city It would mean practical ruin to the
Worlds Fair; that one or two cases
would be almost as injurious as great
many, as intending visitors would fear
its temperance next year. He sllg-
gests in case the disease appears at the
seaboard, that camps OF detention and
disinfection plants be established at all
points on tho state line at which rail-
roads enter, and every emigrant be de-
tanned and his clothing disinfected.
He thinks it would be economy for the
government to confscate, burn and pay
for the clothing OF all immigrants on
arrival. ,l..s-

cases reported here is larger, tho death
rate is smaller. The doctors say that
tho disease is less virulent in its char

the better arrangements for the treat
ment o: patients.
There has been no relaxation OF strict
sanitary regulations, and any violation
is met with prompt punishment.
