ANXIETY ABOUT CHOLERA
This Country May Not BE Able to rs
cane the Plague.

WASHINGTON, y. c.. September -
The officials Of the Marine Hospital Ser
vie, display undisgulse1 anxiety as TO
the continued spread Of cholera In t.u-
rope and a fear that the United States
may not be able 10 escape the plague
unless the most strenuous precautionary
measures are taken at every point The
latest reports in regard 70 the Bavarian,
Walther. who died at Cumberland, Nd.
are regarded as not conclusive or salts
factory by any means.
a ten-day report Of Surgeon Fairfax
Irwin, Of the Marine Hospital Service.
dated Glasgow, Scotland, August I'D
which has just been printed. states that
the period covered by the report has been
characterized by a marked spread Of the
disease. especially In Austria-Hungary
Germany. and Holland. II may be said
that cholera has shown a power OF re-
| crudescence in Russia. Galicia. North
east Germany. and Holland which is
greater than could have been expected
| and In excess OF that which obtained last
year.
Ii is extremely difficult 10 obtain rela-
| bic information from France or Belgium.
| In the former. for example, Marseilles
| has for some time past been under sus-
| picion. although the existence Of cholera
| there is strenuOusly denied by the au-
| thOrities. Late last week fatal attack
occurred at Bordeaux in the case OF a
person who had come from Marseilles
| within the previous forty-eight hours
| Marsellles must be regarded as a place
where true cholera is existing. especially
as most OF the ports OF the Mediterra-
mean have now quarantined against IL.

resulted in defeat for the Farmers by
a score Of 5 to S. The game. notwith

the box for their respective teams, and
1t was a pitchers battle from the start.
Int the first inning the Farmers were
retired in one, two, three order. and
Hodge, the first batsman for the Clans,
staFted the fun by knocking the ball
ovar the right-feld fence for home
run. In this inning the CLANS. on a
single by McCloskey, two-baggers by
OHagan and Collifower, and errors by
Knox and Myers, scored five runs. No
mute runs were made by either side until
the fourth inning, when Hauptman found
James for a home run. The fifth and
sixth innings resulted in blank for
both teams, and it began to look like the
Farmers would be shut out.
CAUGHT ON.
In the seventh inning, however. the
Farmers caught on to Petty. James,
the first batsman. hit safely. and went
10 second on Pender's sacrifice hit. and
came home on Knox's home-run hit over
lef.-iield fence. Honeycutt hit safely to
riCht field and went to second and My
ers hit to left field. Sanford was given
his base on balls. The bases We're all
