THE CHOLERA.
Five Thousand New Cases in Southern
Russia-Forty Per Cent. Fatal.

Odessa, June 27.-The cholera sit
uation in the south of Russia is today
so serious that physicians are predict
ing the worst scourge of the last gen
Grafton before frost checks the spread.
Officially there were reported only
1876 cases last week, but not more
than one third of the known cases find
their way into the official report and
there were really about 5000 new
cases.
The cholera is of particularly
malignant type, and nearly 40 per
cent. of the cases are proving fatal.
The ignorance Of the people is chiefly
responsible for the spread of the disease,
as they refuse absolutely to take any
precautions. In several cities where
the disease is epidemic troops are
guarding the hospitals against their de-
struction by the frantic peoyie, who
seek thus to liberate the cholera suffer
crs The people generally believe that
the epidemic is visitation of Gods
wrath and that it is useless to try to

Kills Himself With Fire.

Easton, Penn, June27. Frank Wal
tiers, forty-fve years old, one of the best
known hotel proprietors in this section
of the state, adopted an unusual method
OF killing himself Yesterday afternoon.
In the presence of passersby he set fire
to his clothing and walked to the mid
die OF the street enveloped in a mass OF
flames. As the fire leaped upward and
reached the top OF the mans head he
fell to the street with groan, and be-
fore the panicstricken and horritied
spectators could do anything to help
him he lay motionlesS. The fierceness
of the flames suggests that before ignit-

have been the result of An acute attack

THE LAST WEEK.

Grooming-Clairroya Says Negro
will be Knocked Out.

Jeffries's Training Camp, Moana
Springs, Reno, New, June 27.-With
the battle Of the century, now only
seven days away, signs of nervousness
are beginning to develop among the
men in both the Jeffries and Johnson
camps, and for the next week the ten
textbook is expected to get an awful
workout. That Jeffries is in fine
shape is admitted, but his plan of battle
and how TO take care of him during the
next week are giving the trainers IN
finite concern Although Jeffries has
not declared himself, the general opin-
ion is that he is going to fight his own
fight and that he will listen to word or
advice while he is in the ring unless it
is the word OF Corbett, when danger
seems to threaten.
Johnson's Training Quarters, Hicks
Resort, Reno, New, June 27.-1n con-
trast to the near-indifference shown by
Jcffries Yesterday in refusing to work
when crowd went to Moana Springs
from Reno, the activity in this camp
yesterday and today was almost fever
ish, despite the broiling hot sun which
beat down npon Johnson and his train
ing staff. The negro got out early to-
day despite the heat and did seven
miles on the road, apparently determln-
ing to make the final week of his train
ing the fastest and best OF all. He will
box and 60 through his other stunts
this afternoon. especially diverting HIM
self to his foot work and doing clinch-
ing and roughing it,
In spite of his determination to
speed it up" however, many close
observers declare that Johnson, while
apparently working hard, is doing
his work in slovenly manner. There
was sort of laziness in the black 5
work that many commented on and
the expected carnestncss seemed to be
lacking. The approach OF the time
for the fight is also apparently having
an effect on Johnson just as it has
made Jcffrics's trainers nervous and
fdgcty The confident air which the
black wore during I'LL his training in
San Francisco seems to be disappear
ing and the job III front of him APP
pears to be getting on his nerves.

here OF Oliver C. Mcttlcr cIarvoy-
ant, who says he got the information
from the spirit world. My guiding
spirit, who has been in the other world
hundreds of years. ~ says Mcttlcr,
tells me that Jcffries will win in or
about the twentieth round. There will
be cries OF fake and Johnson will have
to hustle to escape further harm than
Jcffrics will have administered to him.
There will be a wave Of opinion sweep
over the country, based on suppose
ton that Johnson voluntarily allowed
Jcffries to defeat him. But this will
not be founded on fact. Johnson will
DO his best to defeat jcffries, but he
will not be successful. y

National Expenses.
Washington, y. c., June q.


The statement of the appropriations
for running the government was given
out by Chairman Tawney, of the APP
preparations committee, today. In re-
viewing the balances Mr.. Tawney says
The total appropriation made at this
session show reduction under the
total appropriations made at the last
session of the last Congress and during
the extra session OF this Congress OF
$2s, 500, S21 A, and a reduction under
the total estimates submitted at the be-
ginning of and during the session OF
1892, 1913. A. The appropriations also
show: That the revenues for the fiscal
year 1911 will exceed the total ordinary
expenditures of the government, au-
thorized under appropriations made at
this session for the fiscal year 1911 by
at least 81 ,937 ,S11.73. The total
estimate submitted at the beginning OF
this session last December and from
time to time during the session amount
to 81 OPS, 125, 769.5 IS. The appropria-
tons for expenses OF the government
made at this session OF Congress
amount to 81 ,027 1873, 446.44.
As the republicans view it Congress
this year made Il saving OF $2S, 529, :
S21 A rs compared to the amounts
appropriated during the last regular
session and the tariff session combined.
AS the democrats view it Congress spent
SIS, 207, COS more. These facts were
today stated in the financial reviews is
sued by Chairman Tawney of the APP
preparations committee for the repub-
licans and Mr.. Livingston, of Georgia,
senior minority member of that COM
mittee for the democrats. Tawney
says the G. O. P has saved the peoples
money all along the line and adds that
the revenues for 1911 will exceed the
expenditures by at least Sl1 ,937, 81.
Livingston says that the republicans
have increased the public debt, have
loaded the country with half Of bill
lion dollars burden for miIitaryism and
has generally great reduced the
country's money. Tawney pats his
committee on the back for reducing the
amounts estimated by the various de-
partments OF the government as needed
for running expenses by S992, 1913. His
statement totally disregards in making
the totals the pork barrel" bills, as
authorizations and not strictly speaking
appropriations.
Livingston pays no attention to the
economies practiced in the actual run
ming expenses of the government, but,
harps upon the facts that the military
expenses amount to considerably more
than all the rest of our federal eypen-
itures put together and approximate
as much as 20 per cent of all such ex-
penses, whereas the revenue producing
farmer through his special branch OF
the government, the Agricultural De-
partment, is let off with a paltry Sl3,-
100000. Livingston generally favors
increases as above the amounts appro-
priated for Agricultural Department and
the rural free delivery systems. Oddly
enough, while Mr.. Tawney defends the
river and harbor bill as being modest
appropriation, Livingston denies the
fact that so little money is spent upon
the work

views. This will not be done until after
an expert has carefully analyzc all the
fluctuations and verified the figures and
conclusions. Senator Simmons spoke
al length. holding the tariff chiefly re-
sponsible for the prevailing high prices,
with unrestrained trusts and comblna-
tons rcaping enormous profits from
the toll levied on the American people
by the protective system. He r'd'cuIed
the idea that the increased production
Of gold was largely accountable for the
added cost OF the ncccSSarlcs of life,
and considered the other reasons as
signed by the majority almost equally
fiimsy. Figures were given by Senator
Simmons to demonstrate just how great
has been the advance in prices, while
wages and the cost OF production have
not been proportionatcly increased.

WAR CLOUD.
Tarkcy Makes Percmptory Demand on
Greece-Hostilities Probable.

Constantinopte, June q. - Unless
Greece makes an apology before tonight
and offers indemnity for the recent
looting of the Roumanian mail boat al
the Piraeus, preparations will be made
for an immediate Turkish movement
against Greece.
The War Department has given or
ders for the entire army to be placed
in readiness. The grand yizier has
warned the Greek minister that the
Grecian activity along the frontier must
cease at once or it will be considered a
sufficient provocation for declaring war.
Roumania is acting in concert with
Turkey and has warned Greece that
unless complete statement OF the loot
ing Of the mail boat is forthcoming to-
day, she will attempt reprisals.
1t is believed here that Turkey has
gone too far to recede, and that II
Greece does not make the demanded
amends, Turkey will surely go to war.
