NEWPORT. r. l., September 8. 1905.
Now that other resorts are fast going to
seed Viewpoints season Is at it's zenith This
city. In fact, never had such long
delayed social period, consequently there
will be little lessening of activities for two
weeks to come.
The national tennis tournament ended
last week: also the polo games, which have
encountered their share Of wet bad wealth
er. The tennis attendance, however. kept
up wonderfully. but for all that there is
well-defned talk Of moving the fixture
next year. The championship has been
years-in fact. ever since the sport OBJ
tanned vogue in this country-yet there
has never been the suggestion Of having
It elsewhere before: The feeling is that
Newport Is sure of 1t again next year. but
not longer. Southamptonites are willing
to improve the Meadow Club courts in or
der to secure the attraction, and the Long
wood Cricket Club of Boston Is also re-
ceptive, while two Of the Quaker City
clubs are prospective candidates along the
same line. The contestants, with few
exceptions. declared that they are over
charged here every year for accommoda-
lions and would like the event to go to a
Hub or Philadelphia suburb near by the
manifold conveniences and competition of
a large city.

nuts. And of these latter there Is boun-
tiful crop. The little chinqua pins are brist-

a nice morsel at the hreside this winter for
those who shall have stored them away.

cording to one OF the members OF the sur
yeying corps in the employ OF the Wabash
railroad. which has been making surveys in
Frederick county, the object OF the Wabash
10 not merely, by the choice OF q route
through this county. to secure a low-grade

of Washington, d. c. This gentleman
states that the plan is to have the railroad
branch at Frederick, one branch running
to Westminster. Nd. and connecting there
with the Western Maryland railroad. and
the other running to Washington.
The plan includes the digging OF two
tunnels. one through South Mountain and
one through Catoctin mountain. The loca-
ton of the latter. according to the sur
veyor quoted, has practically been deter
mined upon. its eastern opening being In
the nei9hborhood OF Sawmill Bottom. north
Of the village Of Braddock. The tunnel will
run underneath the mountain eminence
known as Jigger Hill. and will be about a
mile and q half in length.

would be the improvement Of the local rail-
way, which would be put in nrst-ciass

NO CHOLERA ON SHIP
MEASLES ONLY DISEASE ON GER
MAN LINER AT NEW YORK.

A dispatch from New York las. night
says: The Hamburg-Amerfcan Line steam
ship Butcher. the first vessel to arrive from
Hamburg since the appearance of cholera
In Germany. was detained at quarantine for
more than two hours yesterday while
Health Officer Doty and his assistants sub
jected passengers and crew to rigid exani-
nation. The long detention caused some
alarm. as 1t was feared the delay meant
the dreaded disease or its symptoms had
been discovered on board. There was con-
seQuently much rejoicing when 1t was made
known that. save for case of measles
which had developed in the steerage. the
vessel was absolutely clear Of illness.
A cablegram from Berlin last night says:
DR.. Nocht, harbor physician at Hamburg.
in reply to inquiries made concerning chol-
era. telegraphs as follows:
THE transshipment of Russian emigrants
having been suspended at Hamburg, further
cholera infection is improbable.
The room companion of the first case
has a light attack. but otherwise all the
emigrants are healthy.
Three emigrants due to sail last Thurs
day on the steamer Moltke {for New York;
were landed, and since then have been I'M
der medical observation. All are healthy.
The drinking water and the sanitary ar
rangements here are faultless. and conse-
Quently an epidemic Is unlikely.
Single instances naturally, In spite OF
the greatest care, cannot always be pre-
vented, but no danger exists for sea traffic.
l am convinced that all the means for OPP
posing the cholera are In use. We are go
ing to meet the future with tranquility,
and we hold that Americans have no
grounds for dsquietude. NOCHT.'
The opinion Is expressed in Berlin that
the United States seaboard has more to
fear from emigrants shipping at Trieste
than from German ports. as cholera Is al
ready in Austrian Poland.
Isthmian Freight Tied Up.
A cablegram from Colon last night says:
The report by the medical authorities OF
the canal zone that the death on August
% of laborers employed on the wharf at La
Boca was due to bubonic plague has given
rise to much discussion. Jeronimo Ossa.
the Ecuadorian consul at Colon. declares
officially that the report Is false and that
there have been no additional cases Of bu-
bonic plague the isthmus.
The direct result of this reported preya-
lence of the plague is that Central Ameri-
can and Mexican ports refuse to receive
freight sent by way of the tsthmus. Costa
Rica and Nicaragua have been altogether
closed to fsthmian ports. Several thousand
tons of freight for Central America and
Mexico Is now tied up on the isthmus, and
this freight is increasing with the arrival
of every vessel.
cablegram from Zanzibar last night
says: This town is declared to be infected
with plague. There have been ten cases
among the natives, from which five deaths
resulted.
