New York. June 1.-THE North Ger
man Lloyd liner Berlin, which reached

ports, reported at quarantine that a
steerage passenger was taken i'll with
cholera four days after leaving Naples
and died 30 hours later
This is the first cholera case reported
on an incoming steamship for many
months.
The Berlin left Genoa on June |, Ma

-Four days after leaving Naples, Rus
so Braggio, a steerage passenger from
Calabria, was taken suddenly i'll and
for 30 hours evidenced symptoms of

POSTAL TO ENTER PHONE FIELD.

that it is to enter the telephone field
As result OF experiments that have
just been completed between Salt Lake
City, IT,, and Reno, New, and between
Reno and San Francisco, its trunk tele-
graph lines are to be used for telephone
messages between those cities.
The postal has put into operation be-
tween Salt Lake City and San Fran
cisco two new lines which cost $1,000.
600 The wires are thicker than a lead
pencil and weigh 425 pounds to the mile,
instead of 2l0 and 800 pounds, the
standard weights heretofore This new
wire is eventually to supplant the light
err size on all trunk lines Of the postal
system, and as its mileage is increased,
the postaPs operation in the telephone
field is to extend in pace.
When the telephone experiments were
made, the wires were being used for the
transmission of telegraphic messages be-
tween Chicago and San Francisco. -Four
operators were at work, furthermore,
two in each direction, but at the same
time men in Salt Lake City and in San
Francisco were in conversation with
Reno, talking through" the telegraphic
messages.
This venture of the postal interests
is franly directed against the Western
Union. The Western Union is now

He is not fancy dancing master, but

champion was the best lightweight on
top Of the earth.
This opinion probably grated on the
nerves ~ Owen Moran, the English
boxer, who sat within few feet of
the ropes and watched wolgast like
hawk. Moran and Wolgast are match
ed to fight twenty rounds In the same
ring on July 4. and In the opinion Of
good judges Wolgast will have the
hardest battle Of his career. Moran is
not only a first class boxer. but he is
a rugged fighter with unlimited grit, a
hard punch in either hand and much
experience He knocked Nelson out
in eleven rounds last fall and prompt
~ challenged Wolgast. but the latter
avoided the making Of match for
several months until public opinion
forced him to acknowledge the sturdy
Briton.
Moran boxed six rounds with VOL
CAST in New York several years ago
and outpointed him so easily that the
spectators held their sides and laugh
ed. That is why Moran believes that
Wolgast viii be an easy mark. But
Moran may learn that Wolgast is a
far different proposition this time,
though 1t is readily conceded that Mo-
ran on past performances has a royal
