AN ALARMING REPORT.
Made by Or. Kempster After a Tour OF
Germany-A Fierce Outburst of Cholera
All over Europe Expected.

Germany-A Fierce OutDursb VI NhOicA" "
All over Europe Expected
BERLIN, February l2.-Dr. Kempster,
special health officer OF the United
States, has just arrived in Berlin after
tour Of inspection of Hamburg, Bre-
men, Cassel, and Nietteben. He told a
newspaper representative to-day that
he was convinced that the present year
would witness fierce outburst OF chol-
era all over the continent and that in
stead Of being sporadic, as in 1892, the
plague would sweep the whole OF Eu-
rope. DR.. Kempster related an omi-
nous incident connected with his visit
to certain large town, the name OF
which be desired TO reserve for his Off
cial report. he asked the local health
officer to take him TO the worst slum In
town.
"There is none" said the officer,
"every slum and fever hole has been
cleared out"
DR.. Kempster then took the officer to
certain back alley, the sight and
smell OF which made both OF them re-
treat with haudkerchiefs,to their noses
de afterwards offered to show the OIL
cial half a dozen other places OF the
same sort In the vicinity. The infer
en.e is that the local sanitary reports
are unreliable. DR.. Kempster also dis
covered discrepancies between the puo-
lished figures Of the mortality from
cholera, and the number OF cases regis
tered on government lists. In one town
the local health officer told him that the
total number Of cases of cholera was
80, bnt obtaining access TO the official
record he found that there had really
been 7sO cases, OF which $50 had been
fatal. The doctor said that the towns
alluded to were not in Germany. They
are probably IN Russia.
Regarding rags imported into the
United States from infected ports, DIR.
Yempster is inclined to agree with the
suggestion OF Consul General Edwards
that disiniection on arrival In the
United States would be surer and more
effective than more dlsinfection before
shipments.
MARsEILLEs. February II. - Six
deaths from cholera were reported In
the city to-day, but no new cases. The
situation is improving.

Hard to FIJI, Ills Place.

LAKE FOREST, ILL, February 12.-Wil-
liam Henry Smith, on being interviewed
on the death of DR.. NOrvin Green, said :
'"Fhe country has lost citizen Of marked
intellectual power, and the Western Union
Telegraph Company an officer whose place
it will be difficult to fill. 1t is true that
Dr. Green has been in poor health for some
time, and that business Of the telegraph
company, like the business OF the govern
ment when q vacancy occurs, has con-
tinued to be conducted prosperously.
There are many able men concerned in its
management, 6ut DR.. Green was prOmi-
nent figure, and was by all odds the
strongest man who has held the Office Of
president of the company. Very few men
in this country Ia any calling since its
foundation, surpassed hlm in mental en-
dowment and if he had not been the head
of a great corporation against which there
is supposed to be a prejudice. he might
have been Presidene Of the United States,
or would have been in all prob
ability q candidate OF the Demo
cratic party for the place some years
ago. His great ability was frequently dis
plaved Ia appearances before Committees
Of Congress and on arguments in defense
of the property rights OF the company he
served. Dr. Green was O practicing physi-
clan in Kentucky Tor many years, proies-
sion not calculated TO develop the logical
feculty, or fit one for dealing with compli-
Gated legal propositions, and yet when he
succeeded TO the Presidency OF the Com
panv nc soon proved his fitness and his SUI
perinrity to his predecessors. He was cour-
ieous, Of the Southern type, and eminently
fair in al his dealings. The newspapers
of the country are indebted TO Dr. Green
for an honorable and just administration
of the business Of the telegraph company
in which they were interested As for my
self have lost friend for whom / had a
warm attachment. Who will be his sue
cessorl Well, Gen. Thos. 7. Eckert de-
serves to be. He is in line OF promotion.
He has had a successful career, and would

The Commissioners Meeting tho obJec-
tiOns Urged Against Annexation.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., February.-The
Hawaiian commissioners are meeting In
detail the objections urged against the
annexation OF the islands.
Speaking on behalf Of MS fellow COM
mlssioners Mr.. Thurston to-day said In
regard TO the obstacle Of the Coole fac
tions: Every legislature OF recent
years, except that, probably, OF 1887,
has contained a majority Of native mem
bers. The natives themselves are re-
sponslble for the introduction Of the
Coolies OF China into the Islands, and
they have resisted every effort that has
been made by the reform party TO re-
strict the immigration OF that class.
They have no one 10 blame for the pres
ence OF the coolies except themselves" 4"
On the matter Of leprosy he had also
this 10 say: ''If IL we're not for the
constant struggles maintained by the
whites. the present segregation laws
which compel those afflicted that loath-
some disease 70 be transported 10 the
leper settlement, the naives in the Leg
islature would speedily repeal even
that beneicient measure, thereby
throwing down all bars against It's
spread over the entire country. Since
the appearance Of the frst authenti-
Gated case there have been probably
5000 cases Of leprosy on the islands; at
present there are probably LOO OF the
unfortunates In the leper settlement.
or these~the percentage OF whites Is al
most lnfentisimaI. Tho percentage Of
cases among the whites, Mr. Thurston
says, has not exceeded the deaths from
diptheria in an average American VII
lage."
