CHOLERA is ON THE INCREASE,

Never Before.
The Plague Expected to Be Wide

A Special United States Health Oflcer in

Report-Genersl For

By the Associated Press.
New YORK, Feb. 11.-A special to q
morning paper from London says cholera
is on the increase in Europe, and pre-
diets that it will rage the coming sum-
mer as it never has before.
BERLIN, Feb. 11.-Dr. Kempster, spe-
cial health officer of the United States,
has just arrived in Berlin, after tour
OF inspection OF Hamburg, Bremen, Cas-
sci and Nietleben. He told newspaper
reporter today that he was convinced
the present year would witness fierce
outburst of cholera all over the conti-
nent, and instead of being sporadic, as
in 1892, the plague would sweep the
whole of Europe. DIR. Kempster re-
lated incidents connected with his visit
to certain large town, the inference of
which is that the local sanitary reports
are unreliable. DR.. Kempster also dis
covered discrepancies between the pub
liehed figures of cholera and the num-
ber of cases registered on the govern
ment lists, showing that the true figures
were kept from the public.
Regarding rags imported to the United
States from infected ports, DR.. Kemster
was inclined to agree with the sugges-
tion of Consul General Edwards. that
disinfection upon arrival in the United
States would be surer and more effect
i've than mere disinfection before ship
ment.
The cholera visitation at Halle has
died out.
For five successive days during the
past week the reichstag discussed the
merits and dement's of socialism. No
special resolution was involved, yet the
debate assumed the proportions OF an
important political event, at first OF
small apparent moment, but rapidly
developing into general debate,
which extended to ell the par
ties and arrested the attention OF the
whole country. The debate was at
tended with several exchanges OF acri-
monious language. The talk in the lobby
turned upon the possibility of the
speeches in the debate assisting in
bringing about the much-hoped-fo
coalition of the various groups into a
law and order party against the Social
lists, but the FreiHinnige and Centre
parties are separated by gulf which it
it is not possible to permanently bridge
The committee on the army bill is
proceeding 80 slowly that the bill is not
likely to come up for the second read
ing until after the Easter recess.

IN THE COMMONS.

Debate ON the Queens Speech Closed
and tho Address Approved.
LONDON, Feb. 11.-In the house OF
commons today, Gladstone made reply
to the amendment offered by Lowther,
asking for bill to restrict the immigra-
ton of destitute aliens. Gladstone ar
gued that Great Britain exported more
working people than it imported, and
that any restriction would afford an ex-
cuse for other nations to stop the en-
trance OF British immigrants to their
dominions. Still, Gladstone added, the
government was willing to grant a COM
mission of inquiry on the subject. The
board of traue was about to send COM
missioner to the United States to ascer-
tain how the American system could be
applied to England.
Gladstone made a passing reference to
the death of the late Louis ]. Jennings,
member OF parliament for Stockport, and
bore O generous tribute to the value of
his public services.
Lowther'e amendment was rejected by
a vote of 234 to 119, and the queens
speech was tnen approved amid cheers.

PopulIsts Pess Laws FOR the Republicans
to Smash.
Topeka, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE Populfst
house passed 10 OF the senate appro-
priation bills, thus inviting the test the
Republicans have claimed to be 30
anxious to apply by action in the courts.
The Populists are determined to 60
ahead with the long delayed work, and
when q temporary restraining order is
issued by the district judge to prevent
the state treasurer from paying out any
state funds, that official will disregard
the order. He will act under the caucus
direction holding that the dis
trict Judge cannot set aside the
provisions of the constitution de-
fning the duties of state official,
and therefore will pay no heed to the
order served upon him. In case the
Judge commits him for contempt the
governor will at once pardon him and
set him free. TIE Republicans will
bring suit on Tuesday before Judge
Johnson, who will direct the sheriff to
pay no attention to q pardon or other
order from the governor on the grounds
that the latter has no jurisdiction in
cases Of contempt. 1t promises to be a
pretty fight.

Waters Subsiding 1T Bakersfield-Little
Damage Done.
BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Feb. 11.-The
Kern river is still running high, but the
danger is past. No lives were lost and
not much damage was done,, ex-
cept to railroads, canals and bridges, all
of which latter settled or gave way. 1t
is difficult to get particulars of the dam
age to the country below. but it is the
general opinion that with the exception
OF the railroad and canal companies the
food will do more good than harm. The
river, apparently, has changed its
course, and If this is 80 there will be
scramble for new water locations, and
the Kern county land company, which
controls all the present water rights,
may lose it's water monopoly. Bakers
field is not injured at all by the over
flow. Few people left their dwellings
and only in one case did the water enter
a house.
The weather continues warm, and a
light rain fell this morning. A good
many people from the country came into
town today, and they confirm the report
that the overflow will prove great
benefit to farmers. For several miles
the Bakersfield and San Miguel railroad,
recently built, is badly damaged and
travel stopped. There have been no
mail, newspapers or trains from San
Francisco over the Southern Pacific road
since Thursday night. Trains are rum
ming regularly between here and Los
Angeles and the eaet. Fully $4,000
damage is done to the canal.

San Francisco Market Review.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb, 1.-THE vegetable mar
ket is very quiet with firm tone in all early
varieties, which are coming in lighter than
ever. There is q wide range of prices in quota
tions according to quality, and much of the
stuff on hand, especially tomatoes, is in very
poor condition. Potatoes are active with prices
holding firm. Recefps were 1860 sacks. Choice
onion. in small lots sell over quotations with
good demand.
The market for fresh fruits is in a very poor
way just now, with light demand for apples
and oranges. Arrivals of both have. been
lighter than for some time past but fresh sup
plies are expected on Monday.
Tropical fruits are again plentiful, with
prices steady at quotations.
There is little change to report in the fresh
butter market Shipments north have afforded
some relief. Prices, however, are still heavy
and buyers have business pretty well their own
way.
Eggs have been in more active demand un-
der shipping orders, with light improvement
in.prices.
The poultry market weakened q little under
more liberal arivale, and turkeys especially
were marked down. California supplies are
lisht with fair demand. Receipts OF game are
moderate with prices nrfn.
