It Exists in Many Countries and.
Its Victims Are Numerous.
But the Health Authorities Say That This
Country Will Be Free from the
Scourge—Efficiency of Sani-
tary Agencies.
For another year this country may
be regarded as safe against the chol-
era. Up to the opening of the month
of August it had not appeared in any
country of western Europe, ‘ and the
autumnal weather will prevent it from
approaching the Eur0pean ports with
which New York is in communication,
says the Sun of that city. The health
ofi’icer of the port, who made all prep-
arations early in the spring for dealing
with immigrants bound hither from
the infected districts of Russia, believes
that any danger which might thus be
incurred has passed away, and, though
the Jewish Russians are yet closely in-
spected upon their arrival at quaran-
tine, the inspection is rather for gen-
eral sanitary purposes than for any ap-
prehension of the cholera. Advices
.upon the subject have been received
from all parts of the world by the au-
thorities of the marine hOSpital serv-
ice, and Dr. Wyman believes that if
there ever was any ground for fear,
there is not now the least. - -
During the present year, and up to
this time, cholera has existed. in Euro-
pean Russian, Arabia, India; China and
‘Japan. It is unfortunate that trust-
worthy statistics concerning it cannot
.be obtained from Russia, or from any '
of the other countries in which it ex-
ists. with the exception of Japan. It
ravaged several of .the western Rus-
sian provinces last summer; it did not
Ientirelysdisappear last winter, and it
has been epidemic since the early
spring season. During the month of
1July it has. prevailed largely in the
provinces of Volhynia and Podolia,
near the territory of Austria, and,
also, to some extent, in the Vistu'la
provinces, On the confines of Prussia.
It is said to be of an unusually malig-
nant type, and its victims are speedily
carried off. In order to keep it out of
Germany, the Berlin government has
established a “sanitary cordon” along
the frontier, and all travelers from
.Russia are ' again this year, as they
were last year, subjected to a most rig-
orous inspection. Austria also has made
some provision for guarding the bor—
der, but it is much less complete than
that made by Germany, and there have
been many cases of the disease in Gali-
cia and Bukowina.
The cholera appeared in Arabia on
the borders of the Red sea, early in the
spring, brought there, as in other
years, by the Mohammedan pilgrims
from India to Mecca: Alarming accounts
of its fatality were sent out in the
spring months and up to June, but noth-
ing has been heard of it for some'wecks.
and its ravages dotzbfless have been
. allayed. All the efiorts illli‘xle during the
past two years by the international
sanitary commission to induce Turkey
to adopt the precautionary measures
by which its baneful power might be
checked have been unsuccessful.
From that part of India in which the
cholera is nearly always epidemic there
have been reports this year similar to
those of other years. The permanent
headquarters of it are in the valley of ‘
the Ganges, and it is from there that
its infection is carried into other coun-
tries. It is only from the British East
Indian records that any knowledge of
the number of --caSes of it can be ob
tained. . -.
There can be merely guesses as to the
extent to which the disease prevails in
China. In the dispatches there are oc-
casional references to its exisience in
the Liao-Tong peninsula and in the
kingdom of Corea, and there is every
reason to believed that it has been very
destructive in these regions. It was by
the Japanese soldiers returning home
from the Liao-Tong peninsula that it
was introduced into Japan a few
months ago. _ '
From the trustworthy statistics that
are kept by the Japanese authorities,vit
is learned that lip to the close of July .
there had been nine thousand five hun-
dred cases of the disease in Japan, more
than one-half of which had proved
fatal. This fatality may be regarded
’ as part of the price paid by Japan for
her victory over the Chinese, but that
price was greater yet, for manyof the
Japanese soldiers who are yet in China
have fallen under the disease. It has
recently been epidemic over a large
part of the Japanese empire.
In some other countries besides those
here mentiOned, including Mexico and
Cuba, there have been cases of cholera
during the year, but it has not been.
epidemic in any of them. ,,
It has been estimated by good au-
thorities that the average yearly num-
ber of deaths from cholera the world
over 'is'close upon a quarter of amil-
r‘~
lion. It is now known that in Russia
- alone last year there were nearly one
hundred thousand cases of the disease,
about forty-five per cent. of which
Iproved fatal; but the ravages of the
disease among the Russians are light
as compared with that among Asiatics.
Very likely it has been as widely preva-
lent in western Russia, eastern Austria
and Turkey this year as it was last
year. The governments of these coun-
tries do not desire that the accurate
Statistics of it shall be published, and
the official reports given therefrom to
the world are always wide of the true
mark. *
The experience of Germany in recent
years has furnished a remarkable dem-
onstration of the efficiency of scientific
and sanitary agencies in keeping out
the dreaded disease. Not less inter-
esting is the experience of England,
and yet more interesting is that of the
state of New York. The health board
of this city rendered eminent service in
the year 1866, and it has rendered
service not less eminent upon several
occasions since then. The opinion of
Dr. Edson has already been given here,
that there will not again be a cholera
scare in New York.
CLIMATE -' AND TONGUES.
Some Curious Effects Noted in the Rugged '
North and Sunny South.
Gutturals predominite in Norway
and Russia, whereas, far to the south-
ward, in sunny Italy, there is a pro-
fusion of such euphonious names as
Palermo, Verona, Campobello, and so
forth. Even in the British isles, cover-
ing so few degrees of latitude, there is
a marked difference between the
“burr” of the Highlander and the soft
speech of the native of southern Eng-
land.
A theory which may partly account
for these climatic effects is based upon
the contrast of the stillness which usu-
ally pervades southern lands with the
stormy inquietude of northern coun-
tries. Cloudless skies for months at a
time characterize the climates of Italy
while a firmament entirely free from
clouds is rare in Norway.
It requires, of course, greater effort
to be heard in regions which are swept
by winds and storms than in still south-
ern latitudes, and to be heard distinct-
ly amid the noise and confusion of the
elements words must be used which
contain many consonants.
Among the inhabitants of more trop-
ical climes the tendency is toward soft
and musical cadence, and travelers re-
late that in regions in South America,
such as Peru and Venezuela, where at-
mospheric disturbances are rare, the
natives almOst chant the phrases of
salutation.
MUSIC AND. ART.
PARIS has a new prima donna in
Mlle. Lafargue, who has recently won
a brilliant success as Desdemona in
Verdi’s “Otello,” at the Grand Opera.
SEVERAL Egyptian harps have been
recovered from tombs. In some the
strings are intact, and give forth dis-
tinct sounds after "a 'silence of three
thousand years.
MRS. ALICE SHAW, the whistler, who
was once all the rage in London and
Paris, is now puckering her lips for the
entertlainment of the habitues of a Ber-
lin music hall. -
EUGENE D’ALBERT, the pianist, has
been appointed court kappellmeister at
Weimar, the position once held by
Liszt. He is the first musician of Brit-
ish birth to hold such an appointment
in Germany.
AUBREY BEABDSLEY is as odd in ap-
pearance as are his exaggerated draw-
ings. He has red hair, which he wears
a la Bretonne, and a face thin and pale.
He is five feet nine inches in height
and long and lanky in build. _
FREDERICK REMINGTON has excited
enough interest to induce a photogra-
pher to make special carbon photo-
graphic reproductions of his troopers,
cowboys and the like. Black and white
effects are very well preserved by the
process. —'
F. HOPKINSON SMITH, whose valuable
collection of water colors was destroyed
by fire in Milwaukee, will go abroad
this summer, and expects to paint forty-
nine pictures in fifty consecutive secu-
lar days, which will bring him an an-
nual revenue of twenty thousand dol-
lars.

TWO BULLETS IN HER. BRAIN. _
A New York Newspaper Man Accused of
i , Murdering His Wife.
NEWMARKET, N. J., June - 8.—Mrs.
Charles R. Jackson, the wife of 'a New
York newspaper writer, was yesterday
found dead in bed at the boarding house
here, where she resided with her husband.
Which had entered the woman’s brain.
Jackson told the coroner that he had been
stuscd by a pistol shot; that he had found
his wife bleeding from a wound in the
head, and that he had rushed out of the
house for a. physician without arousing
anybody, and finally that he had returned
to find his wife dead with a second bullet
wound.
The coroner’s jury brought in a verdict
to the effect‘ that the woman had been
'murdered. and that the bullets hadbeen
fired by her husband. Jackson was ur-
rested and is held to await the action of
the grand jury. He denied that there had
ever been any trouble between himself
and his wife. Circumstances, however,
in regard to his relation of his actions aft-
er finding that his wife had attempted sul-
clde, as he put it, led to a thorough inves-
tigation of other details of the afialr,
which, according to the testimony pre-
sented‘ to the jury, led to a verdict against
Jackson himself.
THE VENEZUELAN QUESTION.
It Is Again Causing a Feeling- of Grave
Anxiety In London. L.
LONDON, June 8. — The Venezuelan
question has again crept to the'front.
The Speaker, for instance. says it bears
disquieting news in connection with the
negotiations looking to a peaceful settle-
ment of the boundary dispute betwaen
British Guiana and Venezuela. It adds,
however, that nothing definite has yet
happened and says that perhaps there is
no cause for immediate anxiety. “But,"
The Speaker continues, “two facts are
perfectly clear. ' »
“First. —That the report of the Ameri-
can commission is expected ere long, and,
in the event of our refusal to accept its
recommendations, we shall have‘an out-
burst of feeling in the United States, com-
ared with which that of last December
will seem trifling.
“Second—That in these circumstances
the foreign office is not making any at
tempt to hasten a close of the incident
and is simply pursuing the old plan of
letting things drift. '
“We'can speak with confidence when we
say that in the highest quarters of the
opposition there is a feeling of grave anx-
iety as to the future of the question.”
