st. Petersburg, Russia lie chol-
era continues to increase rapidly dav
by day in st. Petersburg. The efforts
of the authorities in stopping the sale
of liquor and the other preventive
measures taken have had but li,tle If
any effect in checking the epidemic.
Between noon and noon the NUM-.
cipal hospitals reported the entrance
of $50 cases and 155 deaths. and the
addition of the statistics from the
military and suburban hospitals for
this same period of time will swell
this total to truly formidable propor-
lions. There are thirty-four cases of
policemen alone in the SsmiLofsky
military hospitals.
Dispatches received here from
three provinces report ass neN; cases

The Government liquor sheos were
closed for two days, and this brought
a notable decrease in the customary
classes, however, refused to be de-
prived entirely of their usual holiday
indulgence in vodka. and the Illicit
sale of this liquor fourigaed. The
police summarily closed several res.
taurants that violated the injunction
against the sale of spirits and seized
the stocks of number OF unlicensed
dealers, but in spite of this there was
little difficulty in obtaining liquor in
an illegal way.
The hospital situation has reached
a crisis. The Obuchof Hospital.
which is IN the centre OF one of the
worst districts, is turning away pa
tients, and the Kalinkin HOSPITAL,
which was opened September Is, al
ready is full. Two.n new hospitals will
be opened Immediately. The Cover
ment has given the city the use of
the doTmitoTies IN the Technological
Institute. and two military barracks
for the housing Of patients with or
binary diseases. This will make
more room for the cholera cases.
The situation is complicated by the
presence of large number o. typhoid
fever cases in the city
A curious development of the cpl
demic has been the pathological eff

Der Of persons have been taken to
hospitals with all the characteristic

Claims All New York State Fires Are
Under Control.

Albany. y. y.-Colonel William F.
Fox. State Superintendent of Forests.
said that. while reports were being
received daily of new forest fires, they
were all practically under control.
Fire patrols are being maintained in
various sections OF the Adirondacks,
and the fire wardens are being en-
ployed day and night. Colonel Fox
said:
Although many fires have broken
out we have them under control. The
reports of the fires and the damage
done are exaggerated. This. is espe-
cially true of the reports from North
Greek"
Colonel Fox regards the Ere re-
ported near Big Crooked Lake, in the
Beaver River territory, SIS the most
threatening.
