new YORK FACES
CHOLERA MENACE
SIX DEATHS HAVE OCCURRED AT
QUARANTINE STATION.
Entire Health Department of United
States Will Be Used in Ward
ing OF Plague.

New York.-The cholera situation at
quarantine is reassuring to DIR. Alvah H.
Doty, health officer of the port, and his
assistants. During the last twenty-four
hours there has been one death, but no
new cases have been reported, and sew
eral of the eighteen persons in the Ellis
Island Hospital are reported GONZALES
cent. Some of those suffering from the
disease are seriously i'll, however, and the
death list may be swollen within the
next few days.
The painstaking task of making bacte-
biological examinations in the case of
each of the 600 persons from the steamer
.Moltke and upon the Perugia was begun
Monday. DR.. Doty issued a statement
saying he regarded the situation as sat-
isfactory.
These cases, with the six deaths that
have occurred since the Moltke brought
the germ from Naples show the reality Of
the danger the city faces from the cpl
demic 20 raging in Southern Europe.
While nothing even approaching >
panic exists here now, the situation is
receiving greater attention and DIR. Doty,
health officer of the port, has felt called
upon to issue a reassuring statement. DIR.
Doty says that the cholera germ can be
received in one day only-through the
mouth, and that there is no danger in or
binary contact with persons who have
the disease.
The danger, or rather the understand
ing of it, is further increased by the
comparatively recent medical knowledge
of cholera carriers" These persons, DR..
Doty says, may transmit the germs, al
though themselves absolutely free from
their ill effects and be as great a menace
to others as a man dying from the dis
ease.
Another death from cholera occurred
at the Swinburne Island Hospital Mon
day, making the total six.
The steamer Perugia, from the Medi-
terranean, is still at anchor in quaran-
tine, while her passengers are unde Oh
servation.

HUNDREDS PERISH
IN FOREST FIRES
two HUNDRED MINERS HAVE BEEN
SUFFOCATED.
Millions in Property Destroyed in Porch
pine Camp-Streets Strewn
by Dead.

Toronto, Ontario.-The loss of life IN
che P~orcupine district from Tuesdays
fres is known to be several hundred and
the property loss will reach several mil
lions of dollars. Only three of the eighty.
four employees of the West Dome mine
have been accounted for, and 200 miners,
helpless, etc., in the Dome mine have
been ~suffocated.
In four short hours, the fire swept
from the Standard mines through to the
shores of Porcupine Lake, where it ate
up the Of South Porcupine, Pitts
willie and part of Golden City, as well -
many small buildings along the Lake
water front. y
While some loss Of life occurred in the
vicinity Of Porcupine Lake, the greatest
havoc was wrought around the main
mines, notably West Dome and Big
Dome. There the %entrapped miners, cut
of escape, were forced to take to the
shafts for safety and, penned in BY
flames, persisted.
The streets of South Porcupine are
strewn with dead. Along the mine roads
are the charred bodies Of those overcome
trying to escape.
OF the staff of 800 at the Dome, but a
few were saved, and at the West Dome
but three of eighty-four employees are
known to be alive. Along the highway
between West Dome and South Porcu'
pine, over a comparatively open section
were found six charred bodies.
Hundreds fled before the flames, but
the dense clouds of black smoke hung
very low over the land and made prog
ress difficult. Many fell exhausted be
fore the raging fire as it swept over thu
town Of South Porcupine.
Twenty minutes after the flame'
struck the outskirts the town was il
ashes. All who escaped the flames made
for the water, where all sorts of watel
craft, launches, canoes, scows and skiffi
were pressed into service.
Women and children were first hud
died into the small boats and startet
off from Pottsville and Golden City
where they we're temporarily safe from
the flames. Many miners lost their live
in efforts to save others, and some wer'
drowned.
Panic and chaos prevailed when tn
flight by water from South Porcupine be
gan. Men fought with each other TO
places in the boats for their families
Grewsome scenes abounded. One ma
was led through the town with both eye
burned out; another with his face an
arms q mass of blisters, and still another
abdomen was burst open by burns. Harr,
Roche, a mining engineer, and A. s
Shields brought out a man who was Q
seriously burned that a portion of hi
hand fell off when he was picked up.

While the parents were taking lunch
con, seated on the river bank, the chill
dren were allowed to sit in a skiff. The

COTTON CROP IN
HIGH CONDITION
HEAVY RAINS HAVE ARRESTED DE
TERIORATION.
Plant Is Small in Many Places-Much
Complaint Of Boil Weevils, But
Little Damage.

Memphis, Tenn.-An improvement in
cotton conditions during the past week
is generally reported. In central and
eastern states the crop promise could
hardly be improved upon, as the plant is
growing rapidly and fruiting heavily, AMI
has had an abundance of moisture, while
the cultivation is still good, work in the
fields having been interfered with only in
limited localities by excessive rainfall.
With average favorable weather during
the remainder of the reason a record
crop will be made over this large area.
Boil weevils are more numerous. in
Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas, but
the damage so far is noticeably small.
The earliness of the crop is a. notable
feature in the eastern and central states,
and grown to half grown bolls are re-
ported in the most northern districts.
In Texas and Oklahoma moderate
showers to heavy rains, widely distribu-
ted, served to arrest the deterioration
that had set in over wide areas, and the
outlook is therefore improved. The plant
in many places is small, however, and
more rain is needed to put it back int
good condition. Eastern and Central
Texas counties are an exception to this
statement, for the crop there is good.
Save in Texas and Oklahoma, the best
interest of the crop will be promoted by
dry weather for a while.

drove of twenty-five geese loose in the
Geld and they have kept the cotton per-

going into adjoining fields and helping to

gard says his geese have been as great
service to him as half a dozen cotton
choppers a la mode.

Paris Green Supply Short.

Austin, Tex.-A national shortage in
the supply of paris green may mean the
loss of millions of dollars to the Texas
cotton raisers this year, according to an
announcement made by Entomologist
Scholl of the state department of agri.
culture. Mr.. Scholl said that the cotton
leaf worm is ravaging the fields Of
South Texas to an extent heretofore
powerless to check. The spread of the
pest is because of their inability to get

A Peculiar Situation.

Atlanta, Ex-senator Terrell's resig.
nation has created a peculiar situation.
Gov. Hoke Smith was elected United
States senator. He announced then that
he would not resign the governorship un-
til after the session of the present legisla-
ture and insisted that Senator Terrell re-
main as Georgia's junior representative
in the upper house of congress. This
Terrell refused to do, contending that
his term of office expired when Smith
was chosen to succeed him.
