oUTpREAK or CHOLERA.
Russia is Making Preparations to Com
 hat Disease.

bat Disease.
 St. Petersburg. July 2S.-The gov ernment Is preparing for an outbreak of Asiatic cholera all along the river volRa from Nishni Novgorod to it's mouth and at the Caspian ports.
 The entire Volga region and both coasts of the Caspian, together with the territory of the Don Cossacks, al- ready have been officially declared in the cholera zone, but the sanitary au- thorities hope to confne the disease within these limits and prevent 1t from reaching Moscow and St. Petersburg this year.
 Considerable outbreaks of cholera are reported from Astrakhan, Tsarit- syd and Kamyshin and isolated cases have occurred at villages some distance from the river, which convinces ex- perts that the outbreak is not due to direct infection but from contamina- ton of the water, the cholera baccillt having found many tributaries by which to spread last autumn.
 Two suspicious deaths were reported this morning at Moscow. but a bacte- biological examination showed that the victims, who were bargemen from Niz- hni Novgorod died from other causes
 The preventative measures underta- ken by the government consist of the erection of isolation hospitals st twen- ty-five points along the Volga. the es- tablishment of a floating hospital and an inspection service on the river It. self. There will also be a more or less cursory examination of passengers on the railroads.

First Class To Graduate Receive Their
 Diplomas.

Seoul. Sunday. July 21.-The first class of Koreans to graduate as doctors of medicine and surgery fin Korea, re- ceived their diplomas last month at the hands of Prince Ito. the resident general, before an assemblage of about i.00o people. gathered for the occasion at the Severance Hospital at Seoul.
 The graduating of these young men after full course of study at the Severance School of Medicine estab- lished and endowed in 1900 by L. H. Severance of Cleveland, Ohio, marked 6 great step in advance in the mat ter of education of Koreans and re- fleets no little credit upon the self sacrificing work done by members of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions represented in this institution by Dr. O. K. Avison, formerly of Tor onto. Canada, and pr. J. W. Hirst. of Philadelphia.
 A conference will be held next year in Seoul in honor of the completion of twenty-ffve years of missionary work on the peninsula. The present hospital is entirely modern in all its appoint ments ana accommodates forty-six pa- tients. having separate isolation wards.

a ST. Louis orchestra leader. who is
also a composer says that he never
