RAPID SPREAD OF THE DEADLY
DISEASE CAUSES GREAT
ALARM.
DEAD LYING UNBuRIED
SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED AND THE \
SCHOOL BUILDINGS USED AS
HOSPITALS.

st. Petersburg.-St. Petersburg is In
the grasp of Asiatic cholera. which al
ready has exceeded in severity and
numbers the visitation of 1893. The
disease Is increasing daily at an alarm
ing rate and unless the authorities
show in the future much greater de.
gree of ability to cope with the Sit
uation than they have in the past there
is every reason to fear that it will get
out of hand.
The governments threat to apply the
provisions of martial law has driven
the municipality officials to bend all
their energies to clearing the city OF
the scourge. The aldermanic council
has voted $250,O0O to enlarge the hos
pital space, to purchase and distribute
disinfectants, the supply of which in st.
Petersburg Is well nigh exhausted, and
to expedite the interment of bodies,
which has been notoriously slow. The
dead houses are overcrowded and many
corpses lie unburied
Under his authority the prefect of
st. Petersburf, Gen. Dracheffsky, Sat
urday prohibited the sale of liquor
throughout the city. including the gov
ernment vodka shops, until Sept. 22nd.
A beginning was made Sunday, when
public schools were transformed into
hospital wards.
number of the grammar schools
were closed and 1000 students sent to
their homes.
AS announced by the official bull
letins, the cases numbered 349 and the
deaths 1913 during the twenty-four
hours between Friday noon and Satur-
day noon. This was considerable de-
crease from the preceding day, but
there Is doubt of the accuracy of the
official statement. The record for the
same twenty-four hours ascertained
from unofficial, but reliable, sources
shows the actual number 10 have been
far in excess of that. Whether or not,
however, there was an actual decrease,
the disease resumed its march Satur-
day, the statistics posted showing that
from Saturday noon until Sunday noon
there were 1893 cases and 1911 deaths,
this being the largest number so far.
1t is feared that the cholera will last
another fortnight, being figured on
the basis Of former epidemics. All
varieties Of Asiatic cholera have now
developed here, there being numerous
cases of the Algid type, which is ac-
companied by the greatest suffering.

YALE OARSMEN DENY
RUMOR OF CHANGE
Story That Crews VIII Train Next
Season at Springfield Is Given
Little Credence by
Public

Rowing authorities at Yale say they
are highly amused at the story emanat-
ing from Springfield, Mass, to the eff
feet that the Yale. crews will train
next spring and before the annual re-
gatta with Harvard, on the national
regatta course of that city. 1t is de-
clared that there are no facts to war
rant such a change in training quar-
ters. Yale now owns it's buildings and
lands at Gales Ferry and extensive al
terations have been made at cost OF
between $4,000 and $1,000 from a gift
by Payne Whitney, former varsity
captain.
The Yale crews do not have and
never had their eastern training on
Lake Whitney, the only time the crews
take to that sheet of water being for
the May regatta. The training is done
on the harbor at New Haven until the
time comes for the crews to go to
Gales Ferry. Hereafter Lake Whitney
will not be used for the May regattas.
Coach Kennedy will not go to Spring
field to view the course.
In a letter to a Yale graduate who
now is In Los Angeles, an authority on
rowing at the eastern university states
that Kennedy would have nothing to
do with the matter of a change; that
a change would only come after pro-
tracted negotiations with Harvard, and
that there is nothing in sight to induce
the change.
The Springfield course is admitted
to be an excellent one, and for the
Yale Harvard regatta the chief fac
tor would be that bad weather would
be avoided, which is the one great
drawback to the Thames river course.
1t is understood by Yale men that
Harvard is well satisfied with the
Thames river, and. especially at this
time following a. victory. At Yale 1t is
pointed out that should Princeton in
years to come wish to row with Yale
and Harvard there might be desire
to change the course so that the three
crews would have equal conditions,
which is not possible at some stages
of the tides in the Thames river. The
experience with Cornell in a trian-
gular race proves that the Thames
course cannot be used for three crews.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Criticism of
the conduct of the Olympic games in
London was freely given today by Ray
C. Ewry, the New York Athletic clubs
broad jumper, and C. McDaniels, the
swimmer, both of whom arrived from
Liverpool on the steamer Adriatic after
having participated in the games.
"Englishmen treated us fine social
ly," declared Daniels, winner of the
worlds championship swimming con-
test, "but as athletes we were treated

over here can't half appreciate the diff
ficulties we encountered. That Mara
thon was the worst athletic ohense
possible. The Italian was dragged to
his feet and almost carried over the
line.
"Of course, the defeats in the endur-
ance runs were a sore thing to the
English, but their conduct was mex
cusable. We had much better treat
ment in Athens. The British showed
their disappointment and jealousy at
all times. I was in the grand stand
when the Marathon runners were COM

exclaiming: L hope it isn't a Yankee.

Ewry said: "Our treatment by other
nations representatives was friendly
and fair. We can hardly say that for
England. After the opening insult to
our flag in the stadium we could not
feel very kindly toward the English
men. The tug of war incident was only
the beginning of a long line of affronts
which eliminated in the attempt to
rob Hayes of the Marathon.
"A constant attempt on their part to
do us was evident. The pulling of the
Italian over the line in the Marathon
was an outrageous piece Of work. That
it was done was shown plainly in the
kaleidoscope pictures of the race now

At 4 o'clock this afternoon the hand
ball game between Lou Guernsey and
Ray Dunnigan which was postponed
from last Saturday will be played.
Both boys are in the best condition anu
a rafting good game should result
Each night during the past week mas
seen them in the gymnasium preparing
for the game. Although Ray beat
Whelan last week it can have no bear
ing on today's game, as Whelan was
not in condition and Lou is in the best
form. Ray and Lou have beaten each
other often and are considered as ABOUT
equal by the majority of the boys, al
though a. few are inclined to give Lou
the preference. In addition to the main
event Lou will play a match game
with Reynolds, the fellow with the big
feet. This game probably will be
played before the main event comes
off, thus allowing Lou an opportunity
to warm up Reynolds is looking for
bets that he will beat Lou.
AS the fighting game is rather dull
just now in the amateur line Manager
Ivan Kahn is looking for good hand
ball player to manage until the boxing
game opens up again. He visited the
