A London cablegram of Wednesday sta!e that there is no denying the fact that the people of Eugland generally arc biginning despite to be nervously apprehensive that ihe quarantine regulations at the various ports the cotiatry is doomed to undergo another seige of the cholera plague. That the quarantine regulations, as at present enforced, do not prevent the introduction of cholera, has been abundantly proven and many per sons claim that the only effectual method to keep the disease at bay is to absolutely prohibit all intercourse with infected ports abroad. DENOUNCING TUE HEALTH B0A11D. There is deep indignation felt at the health authorities of London for permit¬ ting passengers to land on Monday last from the steamer Peregrine, from Ham¬ burg. These passengers were carefully examined and as no symptoms of cholera weic shown, they were allowed to go ashore, with the result that they have introduced the disea : e into one of the most densely populated quarters of Loudon. Two cases of the disease appeared Tuesday in City Ro id, a densely populated part of the city, the sufferer, being passengers from the Peregrine. It is believed that it will require every aid kuotvn to science to prevent the dis¬ ease from spreading. Previous dispatches. Since Monday night there has been an enormous increase in the number of per¬ sons who have been r,Hacked and who have died of cholera in the city of Ham¬ burg, 810 new cases and 319 deaths haw ing occurred lasted Tuesday. Interments Mon day far into the night, the total for the day being 291. A feeling of deep gloom has settled over the city. The I 093 to the commercial cummunity is reckon¬ ed at several million marks daily. The exodus from the city is unabated "and the number of foreigners arriving has fallen to the lowest on record. The most conflicting reports as to the extent of the epidemic in Hamburg have been published. Hamburgers are treated like lepers elsewhere in Germany. Hotel doors are shut in their faces, and it is impossible for them to get lodgings. Many have been known to alight from railroad trains a few stations before reaching Berlin, and to come into the city by local trains in order to avoid in¬ spection. The authorities are endeavor¬ ing to stop this practice, but find it diffi¬ cult to do so. Suspected cases of cholera are reported at Halle and Leipsic, but the presence of the disease in these places has not been officially confirmed. ’Die Standard’s epidemic Hamburg correspondent abating re¬ ports the of cholera somewhat. A CASE IN LONDON. The first suspicious case of the disease Ida in London was made public Tuesday. Samyan, the four-vear-old daughter of a couple of Russian Jews, who arrived from Hamburg Saturday, was admitted to the London hospital Sunday suffering with symptoms of Asiatic cholera. INCREASING AT ST. PETERSBURG. The London Times’ St. Petersburg cor¬ respondent telegraphs that cholera is sub siding at Nijni-Novgorod, and has quite ceased at Kozloff. Thanksgiving services were held in the churches at the latter place. The disease seems to he s'eadily on the increase, however, in St. Peters¬ burg. Offici '1 statistics show that mor tality from cholera has been greatest in Caucasus and the country of the Don Cossacks. Up to the 22 I of August the total number who died throughout the Russian empire is given at 107,647, but owing to the knowu incompleteness of official statistics the real number may safely be reckoned as high as 150,000. A cablegram from Liverpool says: Four Russian emigrants, who were to sail hence for America, were stricken Tuesday with tho pestilence. They were at once removed to a hospital, where they ate closely watched to determine whether the disease is of the true Asiatic type. CENTRAL AMERICA ALARMED. A Panama dispatch of Tuesday United says: The federal authorities of tho States of Colombia have issued ffrders closing the ports on the Atlantic coast of Colombia to all vessels arriving from ports infected wi’h choh ta. This puts a stop at once to c mmerce with Germ my, France and Belgium. Official returns in St. P. tersbu-g Mon¬ day reported 150 new cases of cholen. and forty-one deaths. This is an in crease of thirty o r e new cases and six¬ teen deaths, asc<m,iarcd with Sunday’) figures. _________ NATIONAL QUARANTINE. Concerted Action by all the States to Keep Out Cholera. A Washington dispatch says: A cordon of inspection and disinfection is beiug rapidly established on the seaboard from Louisiana to Maine and along the Cana¬ dian and Mexican frontiers. The states and the nation are working together and there is practically a national quarantine. Tues¬ Acting Secretary Spaulding, circular on col¬ day afternoon, issued a to lectors of customs and others on the Canadian and Mexican frontiers, in strncting them to exercise special vigil¬ ance in the examination of immigrants with and their effects, and to co-operate hospital service the officers of the Maine and local health officers in such action as they may deem advisable to prevent the introduction of cholera into the United States. days de¬ There is some talk of twenty tention being ordered on all vessels from infected ports, but nothing has yet been done. Reports received show that the se¬ riousness of the situation is appreciated taking and nearly all the larger cities are precautionary measures to improve their health conditions. New York, Brook¬ lyn, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore have all taken measures looking to the mprovement of their sanitary condition to the prevention of the introduction of disc ise from abroad. LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE Ot the Prohibition Candidate for the Presidency. An Indianapolis telegram of Thursd >y s'ates that the letter of acceptance of John Bid well, of California, candid.te for president on the prohibition tickc: has been given out for pub icition The letter, of course, first de ounces the liquor traffic as a curse and unmitigated and merciless evil.

BATTLE OF THE PUGILISTS . The Greatest lm\ of Modern Times in thp tuu Snni’tinir upuxuiig WnnlA 11 U IIU Dill be (lie Three Championship Glove Contests at New Orleans. No sporting event has ever attracted more attention the world over than the pugilistic encounters which are to take piece in New Orica: s from September 5ih to the 8th. O course general inter¬ est ceuters on the battle bet we; n Sulli¬ van and Corbett. The g'eat sparriug carnival begins Monday, September 5th. On that day Jack Ske.’ley, a Brooklyn amateur, wiii fight George Dixon, a Bos¬ the ton world, negro champion for the bantam weight of ionship of the world. feather-weight Billy champ¬ Streator, III., and Myer, of Jack McAuliffe, of Brooklyn, champion ligh'-weight, will try for the light-weight championship on Tuesday, Septem tr 7th. On the even¬ ing of September 7th, John L. Sullivan, champion of the world, Francisco, will fight James J. Corbett, of San Cal. All the fights w ill he to a fiuish. The -takes in the Skelley-Dixon fight are $5,000 a side and a purse of $7,500, making $12,500 in all. In the Myer McAuliffe fight the stakes are $5,000 a side with a purse of $10,000, making $20,000 in all. The Sullivan-Corbett stakes are $10,000 a side, w ith a purse of $25,000, making $45,000 in ail. A SHORT SKETCH OF THE PRINCIPALS. Sullivan is probably the most wonder¬ ful under pugilist that ever lived—undoubtedly so the new dispensation, whire prize fights are governed by rules and regulations that bring them within the pale of civilization. When he whipped Paddy Ryan, at Missis ippi City in 1882. he Sullivan became champion of the world. was born in the city of Boston, thirty-six years ago. His fiist battle of my note, was with Flood, who was reck¬ oned at that time as an invincible. It vi as a hurricane fight with kid gloves from start to finish, and it was then that Sullivan attracted the attention of pat¬ rons of the sport, who saw in him the coming champion of champions. lie whipped Flood to a standstill in a very few rounds, escaping with but slight punishment himself. Since that time Sullivan has met and defeated many op¬ ponents in the riDg. A notable fight was his famous engagement with Patsy Car¬ diff, when in a limited round bout, Sul¬ livan broke a bone iu his. right wrist and gatnely continued the contest to a draw, his secouds not knowing that anything had happened. This, in addition to the prolonged battle he badly fought, when his feet were so spiked at Richburg, by Jake Kibain,that his shoes were filled with blood, ought to be suffi¬ cient evidence of his gamene.'s Ev, ry iiody who cares to know is familiar with iiis battle on the turf, under Lo idon prize ring rules, with Paddy Ryan, at Mississippi City, nearly eleven years ngo„ when he defeated the then champion of the heavy-weight class in nine rounds, eleven minutes. His unfortunate meet¬ ing with Charley Mitehel is also too well known to be particularized. Richburg with The same Kil can bo said at Jake rain, who even today admits that Sulli van is the greatest man who ever donned a mitten. James J. Corbett, the clever heavy¬ weight, who will meet Johu L. frullivan on the night of September 7ib, in the arena of the Olympic Athletic Club, of New Orleans, is ten years younger than his opponent His first notible battle was with Joe Choynski, of when Corbett It was but nineteen year9 age. was fought to an unsatisfactory termination, and Corbett aud Choynski met again,this time in a barn, with glove--, Queensberry in rules. The police interfered, aud the scramble one pair of gloves used by the pugilists were lost, and the backers of Choynski, who was believed to be* getting fight the worst of it, wanted to call the* a draw. A pair of kid gloves were found in the party, and Corbett concided to Choynski five"oui-.ce the kid gloves, he keeping the ones. The battle was resumed and was won by Corbett, alter which it was ascertained that during the fight in the barn he had broken the bones in both of his hands. After Jake Ktlraiu’s pro¬ longed battle with Jem Smith, the Eng¬ lish champion, Ktlrain and Mitchell mide a tour of the country, giving boxing the ex¬ hibitions. Corbett was one of men who, at New Orleans, offered to go against Kilrrin for a six rouud bout, and bested Jake to plainly that his name was soon heralded all over the country, and he took front rank among the heavy¬ weight pugilists. He met and defeated Dominick McCaffrey in a limite 1 rouud go and had several other contests of minor importance, his next great battle being with Peter Jackson, the conqueror of Frank Patnick Slavin, whom Corbett met in the ring of the California Athletic Clnb, in San Francisco, and fought to a draw in sixty-two rounds, lasting long enough to demonstrate that Corbett was a stayer. Jack McAuliffe, like Jack Demps y, whs a cooper by trade, and when he dis¬ covered that he bad in him the mawrial for a boxer he was working at Bridge¬ port, Conn., and met and defeated men all the way from his own weight, then be about 130 pounds, up to 190. lie came m a professional pugili-t light-weight and class was easily champion of the until he mi t Jimmy Carroll, late mans ger of Robert Fitzsimmons, present champion middle-weight of the wo, Id. He defeated Carroll in a long-drawn California out and desperate battle in the Athletic Club rooms, in San Francisco, but before entering the battle Me Auliffe, who had become very fleshy, conceded the light- weight champ - ionship to Carroll, whether he won or lost, as he could not come to the weight then stipulated, 136 pounds. His battle with Jem Carney, the famous Eng lishman, in the light-weight class, is re membered by all patrons of the ring, and it has always been claim'd that McAuliffe should Dave lost that battle, and w.,.»;d have lost but for the fact that he was surrounded by frieuds while Carney was virtually alone One of the other most notable contests in the career o! Jack McAuliffe was his meeting with the man he is to meet befoie the Olympic Club on the night ol September 5th—Billy Meyer, of Strea’or. Illinois, There was probably battle between more money up on the first such these two men en than ever before on a contest and it is probable, not to say a fac- that the.t is why the battle terminated in a draw S nee then McAuliffe has pub liclv declared that Myer might be a hard fighter and a eyebne, but he could de feat him in a battle before any club. Mever thinks differently, and whin the men come tocetbet thecontest will be for blood. 4= * $ Hilly Myer, the Streator “cycioue,” has won sevtral matches, and has been defeated in others He first became prom inent in this section of the country in his battle with Charley Daly, of St. Louis, whom he defeated in thirty-nine rounds in a little town not far from Streator, Ill. Daly was heavier than Myer, and decid edly clever himself, but be was outclass¬ ed, and out of condition as well, aud was finally compelled to succumb, though he gaVe Myer as good a battle and as he defeated ever had in his life. Myer met Jimmy Carroll, and was defeated by Andy Bowen, and is now anxious to regain his laurels by lowering the colors of Jack McAuliffe. He will be willing, if he succeeds, to take on any man in his class in the world * * Bosto Gedrge Mass., Dixon, the the colored wonder, undis¬ of -, at present the puted champion of the feither-vVeight claps, is probably one of of the most re¬ markable pugilists the ag;e. Perhaps Mc¬ his most famous fight was with Cal Carty, which terminated in a draw, a second meeting being arranged, in which Dixon defeated McCarty, seemingly with ease. Later on Dixon met and whipped all comers, including some ‘'wonders” sent over from the old world. His last notable contest was with Fred Johnston, of England, whom he defeated before the Coney Island Athletic Club, haudsdown. * * * Jack Skelly, who will attempt to wrest the feather-weight championship from in Dixon on the night of 8ep'ember 6th, the arena of the Olympic Athletic Club, in New Orleans, is one of the most pop¬ ular young pugilists iu the country. He is place I at the head of the amateur feather-weight md class, and is its defeats ackuowl- him cd champion, if Dixon Skelly’s bat¬ he will have to hustle. In tle with DiXon he will be seconded by Dempsey and Jack McAuliffe, with Jim¬ mie Carroll as bottle holder aud adviser. He does not underrate Dixon, but means to win if such a thing is po-sible, and lie will have behiud him men who will properly advise him. He i3 as big as Dixon and the second battle of the pugi¬ listic carnival at New Orleans will likely be an interesting one. BUSINESS OUTLOOK. Review of I'riulp for the Past Week by Bun & Co. 11.

Curtis died at his home at Livingston, Staten island, Wed¬ nesday. He was conscious at the end and sufl-red no pain. Dr. Frank G. Curtis, his son, was in attendance and Mrs. and Miss Curtis were present. George William Curtis has long had the mime of being one of the most ele¬ gant writers and speakers in the United States. He was a politician who had never acknowledged party allegiance — is the professional term—his politician creed un¬ derstands that being that men should not only try to keep themselves pure, but should work to elevate and purify politics. Though often invited to do so, he has never ac¬ cepted politic il office. Mr. Sew ard wished »o make him consul general to EL’jpt; President Hayes off Ted him the English legation, and afterward that at Berlin, but he refused to give up his ed¬ itorial position. Once he was a candi¬ date for congress, but he knew that the district was hopelessly democratic, and that he stood no chance of being elected. In 1884 Mr. Curtis was chairman of an independent republican convention held in New York to protest against the nomination of Mr. Maine for president, and since then he has never been a stal¬ wart republican. He supported Mr. Cleveland in 1884 and has been a demo¬ crat in national polities ever since. GEORGIAWEALTH AND TAXES. - The Tax Rate This Year Will be 4.85 Cents on $100. Georgia’s tax rate will be 4.85 ini) for this year. The rate was fixed Tues ,u, b, Governor Northenand Comptroller General Wright. The state has to raise $2,245,000 by taxation this year, and it has $ 4 112,000,000, in rouDd numbers, to levy taxes on.
