WASHINGTON. Aug. 19.-Forest fires
in Montana are spreading and ten
additional companies of troops are

ing to a joint telegram which was re-

POPE ORDERS LAzARETTO
MADE READY FOR USE.

ROME. Aug. 19.-Rumors thai the
epidemic of cholera which has broken
out in Apulia had spread to Rome are
emphatically denied. There have been
no cases here, and the general health
conditions in Rome are excellent, bet
ter than at any time during the past
ten years. Although the danger of in
lection is not felt here. the Pope today
ordered the lazaretto of Santa Marta,
built inside the Vatican by Pope Leo
in 1885 during the great cholera cpl
demic at Naples, but never used be-
cause of the absence of cholera
patients, made ready for any emer-
gency. The hospital, instead. has been
employed to shelter pilgrims from all
countries. including parties of Ameri-
can sailors who have visited Rome
from American warships lying in
Italian ports.
The influence of the church is to be
used to assist the civil authorities in
fighting the epidemic, the clergy hay-
ing been instructed to use all means
TO enforce compliance with the sani-
tary regulations on the part of their
parishioners. No final decision has
been taken regarding the proposed de-
parture of King Victor for the cholera
region. The king, it is said, has de-
termined to proceed personally to the
scene IL conditions became more seri-
ous.> in which case Queen Helena. 1t
is feared, would insist upon accom-
panying him.

CHOLERA
EPIDEMIC SHOWS
RAPID INCREASE
More Than Thirty Already Dead
in One Town-2O,O0O Flee,
Injected District.

BARI. Italy, Aug. 19.-The epidemic
of cholera which has broken out in
southern Italy is steadily showing an
alarming increase in the districts af-
fected, particularly in the town of
TRAM, where the number of deaths al
ready is more than thirty. The latest
official report last night gave twenty
deaths at TRAM, showing the rapidly
with which the disease is increasing
there. The epidemic is of a virulent
type and the death rate is nigh.
Even graver danger is anticipated
from the fleeing population of the in
fected districts, who may bear the
germs of the disease to regions not
yet involved, TRAM seems almost de-
serted as a result of the panic, 10000
of the residents, fully one-half of the
population. having fed the town. Fully
as many have escaped from the island
town of Barletta.

SHERIFF HARRIGAN
ENTERS LISTS IN
GOVERNOR FIGHT
Says He'll Make as Vigorous a
Contest as in ShrieyaIty
Campaign.

With the unanimous Endorsement Of
the association which bears his name,
and of support not only
from the nearby counties of Hudson,
Union and Passaic. as well as here in
Essex, but from all sections of the
State, Sheriff William Harrigan last
night announced his formal entrance
into the race for the gubernatorial
nomination and his intention to make
as vigorous a personal fight as he did
two years ago for the shrievalty nomi-
nation.
When Michael p. Roche presented the
resolution there was continual applause
and when the question was put with a
vote h body was unanimous.
Mr.. Roche referred to the record of
the Organizations standard-bearer as
a member of the Legislature, city Of
fetal and as sheriff. John ]. Clifford, Al
derman Fitzsimmons and others spoke
in a similar vein.
The sheriff extended his thanks to
the members of the organization and
declared that he was in the hands of
his friends. He said hat no. that he
had entered the battle for the guber-
material nomination he intended to
make the same fight as he did for the
nomination of sheriff.
Sheriff Harrigan was rather optimistic
with regard to his chances. He pointed
to his majority in a Republican county
as sheriff I'M stated that he felt that
he would make a strong run in Hudson.
Passaic and Union counties.
II am in the fight and viii not quit
until the ballots are counted. If I am
fortunate enough to be the nominee it
will be equivalent to election, for the
masses are tired of Republican mis-
rule. If another is the choice of the
great Democratic party old Bill Har-
rigan will work heart and soul for his
election.
"The names of the gentlemen men,
toned in connection with the fight for
the nomination are all fine fellows and
strong enough to beat the best the
other side can produce"
The meeting was held in the asso-
citation headquarters in Market street,
and the more than five hundred mem
bers present pledged their loyal sup
port to the standard-bearer of their
organization. After the Endorsement
the committee on the outing to Col
lege Point on Wednesday, September :,
reported that the number of tickets
already disposed of indicates an at
tendance of fully three thousand on
that occasion.

In the court he represented survival
Of the repressive strict construction mo-
tions Of Taney. which had been swept
aside by the rising sentiment Of nation
alsm. He was nearly always to be
found IN his judgments on the side
generally the mlnority--which wanted
to retain Congress IN the use Of powers
not explicitly granted In the Constitu-
ton. Two typical Instances OF his at
titude are furnished In his dissent from
the insular cases decisions and the
decision dissolving the Northern Sc
curities merger. He exercised mega
tive rather than a positive force In con-
stitutional Interpretation. But even In
a court the attitude Of a minority ought
TO be felt.and that duty fen appropriate
~ to the chief justice. who lucidly ex-
planned the opposition's reasons for at
lacking decisions which marked the
steady progress OF naturalization. On
questions not involving the Issue of state
rights and national Sovereignty Chief
Justice Fuller's leadership In the court
had more opportunity 10 make itself
felt He was an accomplished jurist
and felicitous commentator.
