Belief That Winter VIII stop the Chol-
era IL Erroneous.

Speaks of the Pestllonce In Russla--Tha
Belief That winter VIII Stop the Chol-
era IL Erroneous.
BERLIN, Sept. 9.--Prof. Virchow, who
has returned from u visit to Russia,
speaks in terms of praise of the Russian
officials who, in some respects, he says,
are in advance OF those of Germany. He
excepts from these expressions of APP
proval the officials of the Volga region
whom he evidently considers not as
trustworthy as those whom he has met
in other parts of the empire. He says
that Russian statistics can be relied
upon, although their value would al
ways be relative. West Russia Prof.
Virchow reports to be free from the
cholera plague, and although the
cholera is present in Moscow, yet the
fact that 600 beds are empty in the hos
pital bears evidence that 1t is not raging
to such an extent as to tax the resources
of that city.
In regard to the probable duration of
the cholera epidemic, Prof Virchow
says that the belief that the arrival Of
winter will stop the cholera is errone-
Gus, as there have been epidemics of
the disease in winter In regard to the
symptoms and nature of cholera, Prof.
Virchow gives his opinion that even
when there are symptoms of Asiatic
cholera the fact that the comma bacil-
lus, peculiar to the disease, is not found,
proves that it is not Asiatic cholera.
AS to the remedies, Prof. Virchow
says that spraying with diluted carbolic
acid, is useless, in his opinion. He adj
vises personal cleanliness and attention
to digestion, as the best individual pre-
cautions As a general preventative,
Prof Virchow considers that a perfect
quarantine would be effective, and that
travellers should be carefully examined.
He considers saloon passengers equally
dangerous with steerage passengers,
if they have been on the infected ships.
Although Prof Virchow considers that
spraying with diluted carbolic acid is
not of value, he regards carbolic acid
and sublimate as the best disinfectants,
and he advises the washing of the
hands after touching cholera patient.
While the excretia or vomit from such
patient, in the professors opinion, are
| the means of communicating the infec-
ton, yet that communication can be
made in numerous, different, and hardly
suspected forms through banl-notes,
the post, linen that is soiled, the boots
or Shoes the hands and the mouth.

jackson Again.
New ORLEANS, Sept. 9.-Champion
Jim Corbett will bid adieu to his New
Orleans friends Saturday afternoon,
and in the beginning of next week the
fistic wonder will again be in the arms
of his wife. The Corbett people have
engaged special on the Piedmont Air
Line, which will leave here Saturday

escorted to the train by committee of
the Southern Athletic club, and there
will be rousing send-off given the
popular young pugilist, notwithstand-
ing the early hour.
"Corbett will never meet Jackson
again" said Delaney, "you may make
public. We are against fighting Ne
groes any more and we are particular
ly catering to the wishes Of our south
ern friends in this matter. Besides,
Corbett has bested Jackson already and
nothing is to be gained by fighting
again. We will pay no attention to Mr..
Mitchell, and for the present will ignore
all challenges, because we have engage
ments very far ahead" Corbett went
down town Thursday morning and Wis
tied his friends. He was cheered wher-
ever he went.

QUARANTINE, Sept. 1O-At 1850 Satur-
day morning DR.. Jenkins received the
following telegram from Hoffman
island: "All is well with the ships but
the Scandiu. She has 0S1 steerage
passengers. The Scandia is full Of
cholera. She has had a total of thirty.
two deaths on the voyage, including
twenty-nine in the stecrage, two in the
second cabin and one in the first cabin"
DR.. Bryon has just telegraphed to
Dr. Jenkins that he has been on board
all the ships. The Scandia, which
arrived Friday night, has thirty-two
cases of cholera-twenty-nine in the
steerage, two in the crew and one in
the cabin. He has started off to take
seven cases ashore to Swinburne island.
No such mortality as that which
Capt Kohoff has been compelled to re-
port has heretofore been recorded dur
ing the present reign of the plague.
The Hamburg-American Co. now las
six ships under the ban of the healtk
officers, viz: The Moravia, Rugia, Nor
MAMMA, Wieland, Stubbenhuk and the
Scandia. The terrible report Friday
night certainly justifies the fears of the
health officer, and also his great anx-
iety to provide safe refuge for the
souls that as yet retain health aboard
the vessels in the lower roadstead.
Before the Scandia had been many
days out the cholera had broken out,
and before she arrived at quarantine
the pest was fairly raging on board.
Tbirty-nine cases occurred in half a
week. OF these thirty-two succumbed
before she arrived at the lower quaran-
tine. One by one, by couples, and by
threes the bodies of Che unfortunate
victims were dropped overheard.
DIR. Byron boarded all the vessels at
midnight. He found all well on board
the Normannia, the Rugia, Moravia and
Wyoming, but when he reached the
Scandia he found this terrible tale of
disaster and trouble. Twenty-nine of
the deaths were in the s+eerage, two in
! the crew and one in tht cabin. There
were still seven virulent cases on
board, and these DR.. Byron moved to
Swinburne island. The Scandia is the
first vessel to arrive thoroughly infect
ed with cholera The Moravia, Rugia
and Normannia had brought in their
steerages. and in the case of the latter
it had worked among the crew.
The Scandia has it from her bow to
| her stern, from main deck to her kel-
son. Cabin passengers, crew and emil
grants all have it in their midst, and
she will probably be the hardest chol-
! era importer to fight Of the lot

MORE CHOLERA VICTIMS.
The Yellow Flag Again Run Up to TIL
Mast Mt Hoffman Island.

The Yellow Flag Again Run Up to the
Mast Mt Hoffman Island.
QUARANTINE, N. Y, Sept. "a dis
patch received from Sandy Hook says
that the Rugia, Normannia and Hoff-
man island hoisted the yellow flag
Thursday morning. According to the
code of signals arranged by DIR Jenkins
Wednesday, this means that the scourge
has fastened on more victims. Until
the report comes from the vessels
and island it will be impossible to
learn how many have been taken
i'll, or whether they are dead. A death
was reported Thursday morning of a
cholera patient on Swinburne island as
having occurred Wednesday night.
When the official report is received it
is supposed there will be further addi-
tions. The government tug Narkeeta
is patrolling the sound off Willett's
Point with orders to stop all vessels
from foreign ports

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10-The war de-

information and guidance of medi-
cal officers who may be unfamiliar with
the general management and preven-
ton of cholera and for others who have

SANDY HOOK.
Home for the Distressed Quarantine
Cabin Passengers.
Yellow flag Again Holsted on Board the
steamship Normannis--Figures show
ing the Plaques Complete Record
to Date in New York Waters.

WASHINGTON, Sept 10.-A dispatch
was received at the war department
Friday morning from the president
directing that portion of the govern
ment reservation ut Sandy Hook be
turned over to the treasury department
as a station for the detention of passen-
gers now on the ships in the lower bay
at New York harbor. The president
based his action on representations
made to him by Secretary Foster and
Secretary Tracy.
The news telegraphed from Sandy
Hook and quarantine Friday morning
is to the effect that the Hamburg Amer
lean line steamship Wieland, which
passed Sandy Hook shortly after 8
o'clock Friday morning, reached the
lower bay at 7;13 and there anchored
and hoisted the yellow flag, indicating
that she has sickness, probably cholera,
on board.
In addition the yellow flag has also
again been hoisted on board the steam
ship Normannia, where so many saloon
passengers are detained in spite of the
fact that the scourge seems to be at
taclling the steamships crew and steer
age passengers alone.
Though this news of another cholera
ship in port increases the gravity of the
situation at quarantine, there is no
alarm felt in official circles here, and
the health authorities still feel conf
dent of being able to keep the dread in
vader from landing on our shores.
The cholera record up to Friday
morning, without counting the cases
which may be announced Friday, is as
follows: New cases Thursday, 10; total
deaths in this port, 10; total deaths on
passage to this port, 81; sick and under
treatment, 16. These totals can in turn
be distributed in the following manner:
Moravia-22 deaths at sea. in port;
total, 23: sick, .; total cases, 25.
Normannia-5 deaths at sea, Q in port,
total IA; "a sick; total cases, 3S.
Rugia--4 deaths at sea, in port,
total deaths, 0; sick, ID; total cases, 2s.
Totals-Deaths at sea, 81; death in
port, Is, total deaths, 46; sick, 40; total
cases, &c.
DIR. Jenkins said Thursday night that
there had been no new cases of cholera
on the Moravia for several days, and he
is confident that the disease has been
stamped out aboard this ship.
