ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. so.-For
the twenty-four hours ending at noon
today 223 new cases and ninety-three
deaths from cholera have been reported
by the municipal hospitals.
For the previous twenty-four hours
the statistics were 222 cases and ninety
nine deaths.
One hundred and twenty-seven re-
coveries were reported today, as COM
pared with 1877 for the twenty-four
hours ended at noon yesterday.
The totals since the beginning OF the
epidemic are 5655 cases, 2168 deaths ana
1861 recoveries.
There has been published an Off
cial report of an outbreak of cholera
at the Pavlovsk military academy:
This shows that the disease originated
in the academy kitchen, where a COOK
was suffering from incipient cholera,
and prepared the food for the cadets
for several days. The cook contracted
the disease in the cholera hospital,
where he was sent on a mistaken
diagnosis.
When the physician discovered his
error the cook was discharged and al
lowed to return to duty. This gross
carelessness resulted In ffty-eight OF
the cadets being stricken by the dis
ease. Five of these cases ended IA
tally.
It has been decided to close one of
the important municipal provision mar
kets, where cleanliness and sanitation
were being neglected. Representatives
of Premier Stolypin today inspected a
number of municipal markets.
A case of cholera has been reported
at the political prison at Moscow.

Emil Engelcke, chief of the local
bureau; Inspectors John Garfield and

All are well known. having held
their positions here for several years.
and none are inclined TO believe the
charge, "ineompetency," is the real
reason for the dismissal.
Inspector Engelcke declared the order
dismissing him and his associates had
come as a great surprise to all of them.
He admitted, however, 1t might have
some connection with the investigation
made here last summer by Profs. jerks
and Sanford.
The hints were made that Chinese
were being smuggled across the border
by the wholesale, but IL this had been
found to be true charges would have
been made.
Engelcke says the dismissal 'fs so
worded that he has no redress; that the
dismissal for incompetency is the only
dismissal which can be used without
charges and investigation, and that the
department knows that this charge cam
not be proved"
Engelcke came here< from the north.
He served in San Francisco and Port
land. He has been here five or six
years. Naming and Garfield entered
the service about the same time. Man
ming was stationed at Tia Juana. Cam

DR.. KOCH POINTS TO
NEW YORK AS MODEL
TBy Associated Press, ]

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3o.-Dr. Robert
Koch, the noted German scientist, de-
clared today before the sixth section of
the International tuberculosis congress
that he had always regarded the work
of the health officers of New York city,
under the direction of Herman Btggs,
general medical officer of the depart
ment OF health of that city, in combat
ing tuberculosis, as q model TO be fol-
lowed by other municipalities.
DR.. Koch expressed the belief that
the successful execution of measures
described by DR.. Biggs represented one
of the most important features of the
war against tuberculosis, especially in
view of the extraordinary difficulties
which confront the New York health
board in the matter of immigration and
the conditions of life in oVercrowded
tenements. The two most noteworthy
of these measures, said DR.. Koch, are
first, compulsory notification of tuber-
culosis, and, second, the removal by
force, if necessary, of such patients as
are dangerous to their immediate neigh
bors,
That he still maintains the opinion
expressed by him at London, where he
declared bovine tuberculosis is not
transmissible to humans, was the
declaration of DR.. Koch at the after
noon session. He said: 'At the present
time there is no authentic case Of bo-
vine tuberculosis in man taking the
form of pulmonary tuberculosis"
He added Investigations up to the
present time corroborated the statement
he made at London.

CHICAGO, Sept. S0.-Josephus Dan

written to Attorney General Bona

cratic national committee, asking the
attorney general how many of the 2S7

how many more cases he really ex-
poets to file.
Mr.. Daniels letter takes only hun

says, from a list from Moody's Man
ual of Corporation Securities.
He asks also for the amount of fines

standing against them, but not col

In connection with this letter Mr.,
Daniels made the following statement;
"It is generally known that under

a monopoly on the oil fields, and that
under the Roosevelt administration 1t
has been able to dictate the produc-
tion of oil in new territory-a matter
of common notoriety.
1.-THE Standard Oil trust has not been
put out of business, nor has 1t been
made to reduce the price of Its prod
uct.
"Of the 2S7 trusts in the United

Chairman Mack said today that he
regarded New York as a crucial state
in the campaign.
"The national and state committees"
he said, "are cooperating to effect a
strong combination in New York state.
The national committee will furnish
speakers to the state committee and
speakers of national prominence will
be sent on stumping tours through
the state all through the coming
month.
while we intend to make hard
fight in this state, it must not be as
sumed that the national committee has
shirked the battle-ground in the west,
for the electoral votes of the middle
states are essential to the success of
either side.
