THE CHOLERA SCARE.
California Proposes to Lay Out Sever,
Quarantine Lines.


Quarantine Lines.
San Francisco, Sept. 15.-The local
health officials are seriously considering
the establishment of quarantine sta
tons at the north and south lines of the
state. along the lines OF the railroads.
and the plan will be earnestly considered
at the joint meeting Of the local board of
health. the surgeons Of the United States
marine service and the board of health,
to be held here on next Tuesday. The
health authorities are thoroughly aroused
to the danger that Is threatened the city
and state by close proximity OF Asiatic
cholera. As already announced, the
board Of health has declared Honolulu
an Infected port and hereafter all ves-
sells from there Will be detained and
thoroughly fumigated. The members of
the board Of health do not fear the IN
PRODUCTION OF cholera through the me-
d.ums OF the steamers and ether vessels
from infected ports, because they con-
slider the quarantine already established
and In force will form a perfect safe
guard, but they are not so certain about
the railroads. Some OF the members
consider that the greatest danger lies in
those who are landed IN other ports and
reach this city by rail.
Already the subject has been earnesetly
discussed and the proposition to estab-
lish the quarantine stations at the points
named will be urged at the coming Joint
conference. Under the act OF congress
OF Feb. Is. 1898. the federal marine hos
pital service Is given general supervision
OF all quarantin.ng. The local surgeons
of the service have announced their In
tention TO cooperate with the state and
city authorities in keeping out of the
country infected persons or articles. In
discussing the situation DR.. Lovelace. the
health officer said: "The board OF health
fully realizes the grave duty devolving
upon 1t to use the most vigorous means
to guard against the approach of chol-
era. The United States and state author
tiles have Joined with us and We feel
confident that we will succeed in keeping
the disease from getting in our midst,

NO EARTHQUAKE.
IL Was u Fake story According to the
Account of the A-.ocIrtrd Press.

Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Sept. 15.-
The statement that an earthquake had
occurred on last Sunday. Monday and
Tuesday. with a loss of 800 lives and
causing destruction OF churches and
dwellings. Is without foundation so far
as Is known in Tegucigalpa. No such
earthquake has been heard Of here and
the statements made In the dispatch
are false In every detail The Ameri-
can public was electrified Friday last.

a horrible earthquake which had dew
astated the little republic OF Honduras.

alarming news was published under

portance of accurate information OF so
appalling an upheaval Of nature and

ABOUT THE u. p.
The Omaha Bee Thinks the Road Is oss-
ting q shabby Deal.

Omaha. Neb.. Sept. 15-The OMAN
Bee has a column editorial to-day dis
cuss.ng the Pacific railroad question and
the probable solution OF the interstate
subject by the next congress. The arti-
Gle Is devoted mostly TO the possible fs1-
ture OF the Union Pacific. After discus
sing the history OF the road from Its tn
corporation and the imperative demands
for a change. the editorial refers to the
numerous efforts OF railroad rings to
wreck the property and adds: During
all this time congress has been saving
wood. The officers OF the federal goveru-
meIt who should have irltertered TO pro-
tect the government and moved for ths
recovery OF the property diverted and
stolen. have not lifted a finger. The oaly
thing attempted up to date Il the sutt

estate, and that has already turned 10
farce.
dett congress should. as a preliminary
step. require the Union and Central Pa
c.fc roads 10 be operated as one conttn-
uous line. I, should first and forsmost
compel the Huntington syndicate, which
controls both the Southern and Central
Pacific, TO take its hands on the throat
OF the Central Pacific and give II Q
chance 10 do business. As Il Is now. an
has been for years, the Central Parido
is being starved to death and the Union
Pacific Is being seriously crippled by ths
policy which the Huntington syndicate
Is pursuing. Not only has there bean Q
systematic diversion OF freight from the
Central TO the Southern Pacific. but the
whole road has been so shamofully neI-
lected as TO make it impossible for The
Union Pacific to compete for the through
cratic from the coast.
'rhe very latest effort to hamper the
Union Pacific Is the proposed abandon

AT the same time the Southern Pacific
has recently supplemented its passenesr
