stOner LOchrcns IN Regard To IL.
Great effort has been made by the op
position to the present administration
TO make the pensioned veterans believe
that wholesale dropping from the pen
sion rolls Is to be msde without notice
but that their certificates were TO b,
taken up at the agencies when present

random in regard TO the action taken BY
the pension bureau in the case of An

could show good cause for his retention
on the rolls within sixty days his name
would be dropped.

CHOLERA PROSPECTS.

Tho Reappearance Of the Disease In Europe
Causes No Particular Alarm Here.
The temperance Of cholera in Europe does
not cause any alarm among treasury
officials. Reports are daily received from
United States consuls and other agents abroad,
and they concur that the climatic conditions
that have so far obtained in Europe are not
conducive to the spread Of cholera there. There
have been sporadic cases Of cholera and some
deaths from it; bnt the disease has not spread
as it did last year, and they express the opinion
that it will not reach this country.
Assistant Secretary Curtis Of the Treasury
Department. who has general supervision over
the marine hospital service Of the treasury coin
cides with this view of the situation as ex-
pressed by foreign agents, but still maintains,
and will continue to do SO. the closest scrutiny
over immigrants and others coming from
cholera-infected countries. The system of in
spection on both sides Of the Atlantic is be-
lieved to be as nearly perfect as can be made.
