THE CHOLERA.
Rapid Spread of the Disease Through t
Countries of Europe.

Rapid Spread of the Disease Through the
Countries of Europe.
The cholera is rapidly making its way
| through Europe. 1t has now appeared In st.
| Petersburg, Hamburg. Antwerp, Amsterdam,
| Paris. Berlin, Harve, and elsewhere. 1t started
| in the East, being now in the countries of Per-
sia, India, Russia, Germany, Austria Holland.
Belgium, France. and England, Scotland. and
| Wales. At Hamburg an average of $50 deaths
day have taken place during the past week,
and there the disease is increasing IN vlruience.
| The English authorities are very much
alarmed, as in the last few days have come re-
| ports of deaths at Gravesend, Swansea, Gias-
| Cow, and Dundee Extraordinary precautions
| are being taken to prevent disease becoming
| epide
| In the United States the situation is becoming
| alarming With the hordes o. dirty immi-
grants poured upon our shores from Europe, it
is going to be hard fight for the health boards.
although admirably systematized and provided
| with the best medical knowledge aud equip
ments, to keep out the cholera.
The health authorities at the different ports
| declare that they are thoroughly prepared. A
| special prohibitory circular, governing the
receipt of rags into this country has been issued
| Rags will be refused entry hereafter unless
accompanied by certificate from the consular
officer at the port of shipment to the effect that
they have been disnfected in certain prescribed
ways
The Hamburg Packet Company has decided
to ship omigrants to this country separate from
first and second-class passenger traffic, by
means of vessels exclusively for the emigrants.
1t is proposed by the Treasury Department
and Marine Hospstal Service that every ship
from an infected port shall be quarantined for
| 20 days. If the authorities can see their way
clear TO the enforcement of such rule they
will adopt it. But the power of any branch of
the Government. except Congress, to decree
such sweeping restriction of commerce, even
if necessary is much in doubt OF course such
an action could be passed under the power to
regulate commerce clause. but whether the
President could decree it by proclamation, as
has been suggested, or whether it lies within
the powers of the Treasury Department or the
Marine Hospital Service is questioned.

The New Home Rule Bill.

The main lines of the Home Rule Bill, as be.
leved to have been agreed upon between
Messrs. Gladstone, Mccarthy and Dillon are:
First that the present land legislation shall
not be disturbed for five years; second. that
the police and justiciary shall be in the hands
of the Dublin Parliament; third, that the ball
ance Of the Irish Church fund shall be at the
disposal OF the Irish Legislature; fourth, that
the English Receiver-Ganeralo of the bill of 1865
be dispensed with; fifth. that, the other
hand, there shall be only one customs depart
ment, and that the Irish Parliament shall not
have power to levy separate duties; sixth, that
the only veto shall be the royal veto, to be ex.
ercised on the advice of the English Ministry
seventh, that the 80 Irish members shall be re.
tanned at Westminster. 1t is believed that Mr.
Gladstone abandoned with great reluctance the
idea of Receiver General in Difference to the
wishes of the McCarthyites.

According to the special report of Ira Aver
Special Agent Of Treasury Department, deputsd
to examine into the question of the production
of American tin and tsrne plate, the total pro-
duction for the fiscal year ending June 80

that the quantity Of block plates produced in
the United States and which entered into the

533 pounds. To this add block plates sold to
stamping companies made into articles and
wares and timed or terne-e0ated, A, ,S28. .225 |;

Russian Aggression.

The Ameer of Afghanistan has written let
ter to the Indian Government, in which he
says that the admin istration of external affairs
of his country is in the hands Of the British
aud asks what course he is to pursue, as he
cannot endure q continuation of the hostile
action Of Russia.
1t is reported from Bombay that Russian
force has reached Langarkisht, on the Oxus, 40
miles from Kilapanjdeh, and the inhabitants
of Khost have revolted against the Amecr. and
that the insurgents have closely invested the
Governor in Jodson. There is much mystery
about the British operations in India. and from
her movements at present it is pretty certain
that she is determined to protect the Ameer
against Russian aggression.

The Department of State expects to be able
