CHOLERA KILLS
MANY RUSSIANS
Epidemic Severe in St. Petersburg
and End is Not Yet.

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 81
Since the beginning of the epidemic
here there have been 1880 cases
of Asiatic cholera reported in Rus
STA and 1902 deaths. In st. Peters
burg alone. since the presence OF
the disease was officially admitted,
September s. there have been 4g31
cases and 1871 deaths reported.
The figures with reference to the
invasion of this city by the disease
can not be relied upon. as on a
number of occasions authoritiye
sources showed the number of cases
and deaths in a single day to be
far in excess OF that announced by
the authorities. There is an APP
preciable betterment of the sanitary
conditions and consequent decrease
in the disease is shown by the figures
given out today. For the "a hours
ended at noon the number Of new
cases in the city was 26S and the
number of deaths 143. as compared
with 312 new cases and 153 deaths
for the previous "a hours.
Difficulty has been experienced in
dealing with the workmen of 81.
Petersburg and their families, who
compromise three-ffths OF the popu-
latiOn, and they were unable and
unwilling to comply with the sani-
tary precautions. The ignorance of
the lower orders and the superstiti-
tion of all classes greatly increases
the difficulties OF the situation. Dur
ing the early stages of the epidemic
few could be prevailed upon to un-
dergo preventive incubation. which
Is provided free OF charge. but lat
terly the authorities have made in
oculation compulsory in some quart
ers OF the city.

mouth you are condemned. You
thereby set up that standard or law
honesty which has been the bane
Of this people in endeavoring TO get
equity and fair DEALINGS they
should obtain among high-minded
men-from great business corpora
tions and from individuals like Mr.
Haskell. Apparently you disclalm
even asking Mr. Haskell to retire
from the position in which you
placed him, so that he retires OF his
own free will. and you utter no word
of condemnation of his gross offenses
against public decency and honesty.
"On the contrary, you strive to
make II appear that his misconduct
in reference to the Standard on
company Is all OF which he Is ac-
cused; whereas, shameless though
this particlar act of his is, 1t Is no
worse than countless others IN his
career. contrast your action in
this case with that OF Mr.. Taft IN
reference to Senator Foraker. Mr.
Taft's statement when the question
of his nomination was at stake was
that he would rather not accept II
at the price of sacrificing principle
by supporting Mr. Foraker for sena-
tor. You do not venture in so much
as the slightest possible manner 10
censure Mr.. Haskell for hfs manifest
misdeeds: and you ask that he be
held held guiltless OF them unless
convicted in a court OF law, although
you we'll know that as regards the
worst OF them no action in court
of law would lie.
You say you were ignorant OF
Mr.. Haskell's record. II so. Il was
wilful ignorance on your part. / call
your attention to the letter of l.. T..
Russell. editor OF the Morning Demo-
crat Of Ardmore, Okla. in which,

ant of such charges II is because you

ing the seriousness OF the situation.
Congestion OF Coal.
While In the Pittsburg district the
water supply Is suiicient to carry on
all business. the low stage OF the
rivers has caused a congestion OF
coal in this vicinity. Every available
barge and float has been loded with
coal and at present. with almost 20,-
100000 bushels in the Pittsburg
harboF. the river coal mines have
been compelled TO shut down. There
are about $1,000 miners employed
in the river mines along the Monon-
gahela valley.
This great fleet OF coaIers Il for
the supply OF points in the west and
south, and the probabilities are
that there will be coal famine,
especially in the northwest. should
conditions prevent shipment Of the
coal before cold weather sets in.
Factories Close.
In West Virginia lumber plants,
glass factories and iron and steel
mills located along the rivers are
closed on account OF insufficient wa
ter. In eastern Ohio the same con-
dltions prevail and Il ls feared that
great Iron and steel mills at YOungs-
town, Ohio. will have TO suspend
operations unless the drouth Is
speedily broken.
In all sections OF the dry zone
prayers are offered up daily and
these prayers will continue until they
are answered with rain.

HASKELL'S BITTER

Says Roosevelt is Greatest
Crook That Ever Sat in
Presidential Chair"

GUTHRIE. Okla. Sept. 2s.--Gov-
ernor Haskell arrived here yester-
day, and gave out an interview to
the press with relation to the aecusa-
tions made against him by William
r. Hearst and President Roosevelt.
Il will. said Haskell. In the course
of his interview. have a new chapter
daily on Roosevelt from nov on un-
til the close of the election, and will
show that he is the greatest crook
that ever sat in the presidential
chair. My resignation from the
democratic national committee was
voluntary. ! am not afraid OF Bry-
ans defeat, and he will win at the
polls whether ] am identified with
the campaign or not. am catching
a ward politician in the presidential
chair. and / want to attend to his
case. Governor Haskell in an ad-
dress delivered before a large crows

famous liar. and announced that
he would start his lawsuits against
Hearst in Oklahoma next week.

dent that to adopt your proposal
would give to every man who cared
merely for the partisan success the
chance, by precisely the argument
you have now made, to create to
more purpose the false impression
that you are seeking to create.
Approves After Election.
MFR. Taft's reputation, SIR. Taft's
acts on the bench and in the ex-
ecutiye service show that he could
not be swayed in any shape or way
or by any consideration against the
interest of justice. emphaticaIly
approve of the publication OF cam
paign expenses after the election.
whether provided for by law or not.
You have sworn by this letter OF
yours that II the contributions to Mr..
Hughes campaign fund had been
made public before election you and
those who act with you would have
striven to give the false impression
that Mr.. Hughes was unfit to be en-
trusted with the position or gov
ernor; and you have shown by this
letter Of yours that If MIR. Harriman's
contribution to the campaign fund OF
1904 land incidentally, l may men
ton that | am informed that this
particular contribution was not used
for the national campaign, but In
the New York state campaign) had
been known, you and your supporters
would have endeavored to use the
fact of its having been made as an
insincere and untruthful argument to
show that could not be trusted to
deal out exact justice to Mr.. Har-
riman. No stronger argument
against your proposition has yet been
advocated than this that You have
unconsciously advanced.
Roast OF Haskell.
Il now come to the personal part
of your letter. your attitude toward
Mr.. Haskell who voluntarily resigned
from the committee. You speak high
ly Of the public service he has rend-
cred and protest against any condem-
nation of him except such as may
