Italy have either brought actual cases
of this disease Or furnished evidence of
its having occurred in transit. It is
with great difficulty that the latter con-
dition is established, and it is only
through the most exhaustive bacteria
logical examination that l am able to
secure the facts.
Declaration Amazing.
ut is in the presence of these condi-
tions, when the confidence of the pub
lie in this department should not be
unjustly disturbed, nor it's facilities
fer protecting the public health dimin-
ished, that the man appointed to in
vestigate this department makes the
amazing declaration which Commits
sioner Bulger makes this morning.
In his letter to Judge Bulger, Dush-
kind relates some testimony taken at
the commissions hearing, and bases
his contention that DR.. Doty should be
relieved from duty largely upon the
fact that Charles Leavitt, carpenter
employed at Hoffman island, and four
other employees, were permitted 30
leave their posts and attend the hear
ings. Dushkind asserts that he fears
possible infection might result from
such a practice
DR.. Doty covers the point raised by
Dushkind with the declaration that en-
ployes at Hoffman island came in con-
tact only with persons held under OBJ
servation and not with actual sufferers
from cholera, who were removed, he
says, to the Swinburne Island Hos
pital as soon as they became i'll.
Dushkind also calls attention to the
development of number of cases of
cholera at Quarantine, as he alleges,
several days after the period Of in
cubation had expired" as a further
reason for viewing the situation as
alarming" and calling for the neces-
sity of bringing it to the Governors
attention.
Scourge Spreads in Italy.

is matter of general knowledge that
Venice, Naples and Palermo are con-
taminated by cholera, yet the Govern
ment, in violation of international law,
has given other nations no notice of
the fact. Even the newspapers are
silent, though the scourge is spread
ing so rapidly that it is likely soon
to reach Austria

craft nor diplomacy is there a Wash
ington, an Adams, Jefferson, Madi-
son, Monroe, or Jackson; there is
no Franklin or Otos or Hamilton or
Sherman; no Marion or Greene or
Putnam or Lee. The men whose gen

is the statement made by A. Maurice
Low in the second volume of "The
American People; Study in Natural
Psychology" which will come from
the press of Houghton, Mifflin Com
pany in the autumn. Mr.. Low also
finds that the same phenomenon in
craftsmanship has it's counterpart in
finance and commerce. The great.
bankers and merchants and manufac-
turers of the early days left no de-
scendants. "In commerce as in pub
lie service, the men who today domi-
nate are not the men who bear his
toric names, not the men who can
trace their descent back in an I'M
broken line to the first bankers or the |
first ironmasters or weavers, but men
who have no kinship with these found |
ers of an industry; new men in every |
sense of the word" This is the first |
time, we believe, that attention has
been called to the sterility of the fam
GUS men in American hosiery, and it |
is interesting, as Mr.. Low says, to as
certain the cause.
