cholera commission , at a meeting today , do-
cUlcd to Instruct the statistical bureau" to ro-
vlso the cholera statistics of the medical
bureau , as these showed a discrepancy of
over 2,000.
In the twenty-four hours ondlng Septem
ber 0 at 10 a. m. , 090 bodies were burled In
ono cemetery ; on the 5th inst. there were 074
now cases and 'Ml deaths In Hamburg.
According to statements mane by the
Berlin sanitary commission the city of Ham
burg has voted a credit of 500,000 marks for
the immediate expenses of the citizens. It Is
said the committed collected In two days
U23.000 marks , and further collections swell
the totals tolOJ.OOO marks. Much more ,
however , Is needed.
Many bodies brought from the hospitals
Imvo been burled as unicnown dead , and rela
tives often do not Know of their death until
dtiys after the burials.
The medical insocctors are blamed for
allowing thu disease to assume Such proportions
tions before notifying the authorities. Gross
nogllgenco li certainly responsible for the
rapid increase or the cnldemtc. All the cases
within 100 mi'os ' of Hamburg are invariably

PAUIS , Sept. 7. [ New York Ilorald Oablo
Special to Tun BED. ] Prof. Vlrehow , who
has Just returned from Russia , dovotnd half
an hour of his valuable time to a discussion
of the cholera and kindred subjects with mo
today. "In view , " said I , "of the great anx
iety which prevails In Now York , will you
oblige mo with your opinion In regard to
quarantine ! "
'Tho nnxletv Is natural , " replied the pro
fessor ; "put your questions. "
"Fh&t , then , can cholera bo shut out by
quarantine ) "
"Yes,1' was the cautious answer , "under
certain conditions , which are seldom , If over ,
met with. If quarantine wcro 'absolute , if
countries could Do closed hermetically , epi
demic diseases might bo excluded. This
wus shown In the case of Heligoland. For
ten years at a tlmo ship ) did not touch at
the Island , and as a rosuti wo were
secured from even common children's
scourges , scarlet fever and the like , until
ships began to' revisit usr Give quarantine
a uhanco , however. The strictest precau
tions should oo taken at the beginning , as
well as at the end -of the journey. Each
traveler should bo carefully examined be
fore coins aboard. Hamburg officials have
at last recognized the truth of this princi
ple. "
Twenty Days ( ttiarantlnn Unncccussiry.
"Is It necessary to Impose a quarantine of
twenty days on Immigration ! "
"That seems an exaggeration , " said the
professor. "It Is generally hold that one
week's delay is sufficient. "
"Can saloon passengers bo safely quaran
tined loss strictly than steerage passengers ! "
"They are equally dangerous If they have ,
been on intoctcd vessels. "
"Do you think It Indispensable to shut up
nnv passengers on such vessels ! "
"Not if they can Do landed very qulclilv
without contact with other people ; but all
depends on circumstances. I have not boon
to Now York. If , as you say , there are
Islands near at hand where passengers could
bo directly transferred it Is needless to con
fine them to the shjps. "
"Does any danger threaten the land from
the vessels now detained at Now York quar
antine ! " I asked , llrst explaining the rela
tive positions of tbo plague-stricken steamers
and Staten Island.
"None at all. "
"I hoar cholera cannot bo transinltto'd
through the air ! "
"I will answer that by saying that wo do
not want to treat our Berlin choloru patients
In the Moablt hospital , which 1 helped found ,
nnd which , although It once stood In the
middle of open Holds , now almost touches
tbo surrounding houses , "
How the UlsuitKO U Communicated.
"Can cholera be communicated other than
through direct contact with oxcruta ! "
"Only through excreta or vomit , but , re-
momb r , there uro many ways of coining In
contact with both , The commonest- medium
of contagion Is soiled linen. Boots and shoes
may bo a source of danger if ono has stopped
on a dirty , Infected Hoar. Cholera uiny also
bo transmitted by the mouth on
soiled huuils. On the Prusso-llussiuu
frontl r , whore I have just had some ox-
pcrlcnco of the annoyances ot quarantine , an
oftlcial whom I noticed moistening bis lingers
as ho counted a pllo of Husslau banknotes
asked mo If no risked catching cholera. I
answered , certainly , advising him to dip hU
lingers In water Instead of licking them. "
"Is it necessary to isolate cholera-stricken
housest" -
"No ; only to Isolate patients. Ono of the
bust disinfections Is probably sublimate and
carbolic ncld. After touching patients care
should bo tukon to wash one's hands. "
' 'Could cholera to spread through the
past ! "
"I'urdon mo , for saying that u question of
that sort Invites a foolish answer. The point
is not , what could or might occur In theor/
utmost anything Is posslblo-but what does
occur. On acquittal of a certain Jew tbo
otlior ilav an appeal In behalf of u testimonial
fund was Issued. A gentleman who tilgnod
thu appeal soon uftur received u letter con
taining u sciMp of llllhy pupar. From this
you 300 now the cholera might be transmit
ted .through the post. To roasinro your coun
trymen , " said the professor , "let mo remind
tlioui that tbu cholera is laucli less danger *
ous thiui diphtheria and other disease * whluh
cauitoloss commotion. To bo sure , " ho added ,
"I am not going to Hamburg ; I have soon
enough of thu cholera. "

leans flatio carnival is history. Two of the
champions of tna world are champions still ,
but tbo nromler lies writhing ignomlulously
In the dust. Tne great John L. Is a shat-
torml Idol. McAulifTo nnd Dlxou stand out
in bold silhouette wlthout.a peer. Sullivan ,
the ex-champion of champions , is u common

so mlsguldod , as to again propound the ques
tion : *
"What has Corbott ever done ? "
It wasanswered tonight for all time , and
In stentorian tones , when bo met und easily
defeated the Idol ot the nlhletio world , und
moro's the shame , when It is said ho went
down amidst the thunderous nlaudils of Iho
largest crowd that ever witnessed a gladn-
torlal combat in tbo history of the new
world.
The physical phenomenon of tbe o latter
days , the man who bus defeated the best
men'Amdrlca' , or Iho worldYcould"produco , Is
a vanquished and humiliated horo. The
magnificent giant was the victim of misplaced
contldonco , of erring judgment. His fame
was susceptible of no additional luster. His
triumphal march has reached the apex.
His oup of pai-ioanl joy , revcngo , satisfaction
and vludicatloj was already full to over
flowing. *

It wus a fatal mistake to inveigle htm to
such Irretrievable disaster. Tno greatest
man modern or ancient athleticism over pro
duced Is tonight a hopeless wreck. Ho
should have retired within tbo Hood of his
great glory and ended his days In prosperity ,
In peace and repose. His faculties for sub
sistence uud tbo welfare of these closest to
him did not warrant further Indulgence In
the questionable calling which had vested
him In an armament of Imperishable fume.
Poor John LI
Greatest Fight ICvor Winched.
But to review the bloody combat. It was
a bold and scientific clash or nature's arms.
Surh flerco onbluu.hts ; such noble and Im
pregnable do'enso 1 never saw before. No
two greater exponents of the art over pulled
on a pair of fighting shoes , and it
will ba a long time before such
another pair will como together as con
fronted each other tonight for tbo lirut timo.
Man never gazed on two inoro matchless liv
ing and breathing statues. Sulllvun , Samson-
csquo In his physical grandeur : thu Cnllfor-
nlan from the girth up an Apollo In alabaster.
Although CorbeU looked next to perfection ,
bo was markedly overshadowed by Sullivan.
I sat broatbloss , ulmoit , In my pew , with
my face pressed close up to the ropes during
the cntlro twenty-ouo rounds , and noted with
both , mind nnd poncll every blow the two
giants delivered or essayed to deliver , I
studied closely ouch man's style of at
tack und Uofonse , Intent on not only
thu analysis , but tbo result , und
many times mv heart was In my mouth. I
felt that if Sulllvun was defeated I would
never want nny inoro przo | lighting In mine.
ForVeara I buvo thought him the only ono
In his class , und the most sterling , square
and manly pugilist on the globe. Ho has
numerous characteristics that transcend
those of any other tlstlo gludlator.

It would bo an Injustice to a gallant ring
general and sciuntiilc man to say that Cor
bott wus anything but courageous to tbo
point of boroiBin. Ho looked grave and seri
ous when ho entered the ring , as well ho
might , for seemingly It was a most prodig
ious undertaking ho bad on hand , but
it was mere play for ultri. . . The mighty John
Luwroncc Sullivan was a moro piftuiy. Ho
had no power of execution , und inconti
nently no defense. Ho was slow , blind ana
inert , the most aojoct rollux of bis old-llmo
self. Ho was utterly Incapable of reaching
bis spry und youthful adversary. Ills feeble
attempts were piteous. On tbo other band ,
Coroett's blows were swift at bolts of elec
tricity , dots and of frightful Impelling force.
Fought Ilieu u Hurricane.
Not once did bo fall to find the point ot
impact , and his crubhlng lunges micht well
be likciind to the buttering rums of tbo days
of Hanbibal uud the Corlntntuni , His ag
gression was Bomothlni : wondrous and fear-
fill to behold , Ho would clinch bis tooth and
rush the lonllo and dofonsuloss champion
with a speed , a determination and Irresisti
bility that could only sweep all before him.
His rupid Jibs , straights , cross-oountors
and uppurcuts were llghtniug-llko , deadly
nnd Intensely snvago.
John L. could only retreat and shield bis
blooding fuco und bruised titoinucU with
hands und unn * made of straw. No quality
of moroy ever entered Into Corbott's work ,
Hn wus all-devouring , ixmilablo as u llend
of some unhallowed arena , until every ves-
llpo of opposition hud been swept away ,
lie was the aggressor In all Iho lighting ,
and wbllo his charge * wcro furious mid well

UixoginR , Ot.YMi'ic Ci.un , Nnw OHI.BANS ,
La. , Sept. " . The o\citomout which provalls
In this city has bud no parallel slnco the
Italian ussaasinallon. There baa been no
subject ot conversation discussed in nny
qsartcr s > ave tbo c/ont of the evening , In
which every portion of the civilized world
has been more or loss deeply Interested. The
crowds uu the streets have grown day by
day until tonlirht the aggrogutlon of visitors
wus as grout us thu crowds of tno carnival.
The wait for evening was tlrosomo to all.
There was a universal movement In the di
rection of the club room , oven before the
shades of evening hud begun to full.
For blocks and blocks can-luges were
strung along the curbstones. Every street
corner had u'throng , nnd every throng chat
tered of the light , or shot its eager glances
Into the bucics in search of notables of the
day. Business men , lawyers , journalists
took 'their dinners downtown und hnd their
vehicles ordered cuily. They were willing
to wait ut the club , but they were unwilling
to wnsto tlmo going down. At G o'clock car
riages wcro already heading down Canal
street ; It was crowded with people und
vehicles" Down Intersecting streets car
riages wcro rushing to the scene ot buttlo.
Every avenue lcadlnK.nwny.from'tlio broad
boulevard was black with people. The even
ing was hot , and windows nnd doors were
wldo open and dark with occu
pants. x Every carriage got a cheer
as it spud swiftly by , and there
were so many carriages that Bedlam seemed
to have temporarily broken loose and dis
charged all Its inmates on priza lighting.
Down in the nolghbjrnood of the club sights
were stirring.
Every man of nny prominence got nn ova
tion that was startling in Its strength.
Those who could not got Into the club felt
authorized to bum ; on the outside for bulletins
from tbo ring , On both Hoyul and St.
Charles Htreots the blue coats showed tholr
clubs and mudo their presence folt. They
were responsible for the decorum of the
event , and they did their work well. Thoio
was a rlpplo of excitement xvhen the Dlxou
party drova up to tbo club curb und handed up
their tickets. Their light was over nnd their
anxiety passed. Ulxon looked as chipper as
a bird. HU suit wus nobby , blssmilo broad ,
bis hat was tilted on his heud at an nnglo of
many degrees and bis wealth was on the big
man. Ho bad a smllo for everybody oiid
everybody treated him with courtesy.
Greatest K\cr Known.
In all roapocts tonight's light was the
greatest of the three. In point of nursu , In
point of mon and in point of crowds and In
point of excitement it excelled the others.
It , was no wonder , therefore ; , thut these who
could not go or would not go forsook tholr
beds und crowded around bulletin boards
uugor for a word of news from tbo struggle
of the gludlutors. When they made tbo
match they meant It to bo decisive in its re
sults. There wus plenty of money to back
each man.
The Sullivan people dictated the terms
nnd the other side hud to moot them , Thou
$10,000 n bide wus nuujcd us tlio wugor , The
Corbott people ugrood to this without demur.
Then there ciimo the question of u pur&e.
The Olympic is the Sullivan ofllcial club and
wanted thu mutch at all hazards. It olTorod
$ . ' 5,0(10 ( for the mill und the princely sum wus
accepted. It was ugroud that thu winner
should have the whole of It. Tbo loser would
llud no solace for bis woo. The conditions
were briof. They were to the effect thut th'o
tltrht wus to bo to a finish under Quoonsborry
tnT/iu HMiur. tnn.me f.titit t hr ntn

stripped to the waist , each round
to last three mlnutoi und on a mlnuto.
Nothing wus bald about weight ! ) , Ench man
was privileged to carry us much Ilnsh.as ho
pleased. Along with the pursu for the winner
nor nf the light goas tbo championship tltlo ,
and to ouch of the gladlutorj the light meant
moro than lha coin thut had been wugcrodon
the result.
Uulllvau'H Triumphal Approach.
The Sullivan people cumo to tun club flrst.
They took n currlago nt tbo hotel before 7
o'clock and drove leisurely nown with a
string of hacks. The carriages were cloued ,
and low on the streets know it contained the
tnun from Boston. When It reached the
clue , there wus an immense bundle of people
lighting tholr way into the club. The blg-
boiicd coppers clourod tbo way , and the cham
pion and his party wont hi. Jack MuAullfTo ,
Frank Moran , Jack Ashtoii nnd Phil Casey
and lessor lights wont In , Sullivan were n

hu half open coat. Ho looked strong und
determined. Ho walked with n jaunty air
and carao in BO easy with the line of p'ooulo

Ho wont to his room and bis friends pro-
'pared him for the fruy.

Big Jim Corbett followed In the wulto of
the champion , coming In IIteen mlriuloa later.
Ho bad remained In bis room until tbo vorv
last moment that he could with safnty , and
thin , with bla tralnom and seconds and
representatives of the Southern Atblctm
club , ho jumped into n carrlegi unit sped
down to the club. When hi * party pulled up
la front of tbo door the street wus cleared
ana an avenue opoued Into tlio building.
Corbett came In first , with n ll ht atop nnfl
face wrcathoi ) In smiles , Ho were n twoctl
suit , a cap and yellow shoos nnd his hands
were stuck in the pockets nt his coat. Ho
nodded to friends as ho walked rapidly to
his room and showed no sign ol nervousness
In thu face of the baltlo before him. Mllto
Donovan , Billy Brady , Dennis Dillon , Jim
Daloy nnd ono or two others trotted behind
nnd when they entered the tlttlo room up-
sta rs they went to work to strip the gladl.
ator. Tbo hoavynelghls roamed in tholi
rooms until called to the ring.
Srru I'roin thu Scats.
The arena in Its enlarged condition presents
sonts n striking nppcuranco , being tilled U
Its utmost capacity , even the overhanging
galleries , which seemed (6 jut out nt a giddy
height nbova the vast throng that lined th'o
almost countlots tiers of soau In the mala
body ol the arena , being packed with tin
eager throng , nil intently watching ovorj
tnovo that was mndo In the ring and without.
In looking over the Immense throng oni
could not help rcllocllng upon tbo tremendous
deus strides In popular favor that has been
mudo in boxing slnco Iloonan nnd Mori-is
fought ott the Canadian shore of Lake Erl
a llttlo ever thirty years ago. In thosn
days ram wcro in the habit of going to prln
lights "onlv on the sly. " At that time , too ,
going to a prlzo light meant longiund fa
tiguing rides in badly managed trains or on
board tbo slowest and most uncomfortably
crowded ntcamboats staggering under a huga
load ot profane nnd foul-mouthed humanity.
In those limes the crowd assembled
at n rlugiido , whllo not wholly mqdo up ot
the worst classes , was usually of such a
character that ruftlatnsm was vastly in as.
condanuy tkrougbout tbo whole journey from
beginning to end.
Surrounding * nt the Ilns ! ldo Contrnstoil.
In these good early days , too , It was not
always that the batter tnun proved the vlo-
tor , for as a rule the cro'wd at Iho ringside
had much moro to sny about Iho settlement ,
of n doubtful point than the referee had and
the lighter who had the strongest party at
his back was reasonably sure to win unlosi
the man of the weaker party moved hid
superior before any point requiring thu in
tervention ot the rolereo had time to arise.
Of course , there wus not nearly as much
money In prlzo lighting as there U now. Tno
excursion money should usuallv have footed
up a cot.sldorablo sum but tlio managers ot
ouch sldo hud to pay the fares.ot so many
rufllan rotnlnors that their shares of thoro.
ceipts were greatly lessened.
All thcso things had n tendency to mak
prize lighting disreputable in tha early times ,
but as conducted ut the Olympic club those
contests bnvo como to wcnr a different at.
poet. Now mon travel to great boxing con
tests In vostlbulod limited trains ; they sloop
in the best hotels , furo sumptuously every
day , and when the time for the contest ar
rives they Und themselves in u grand , bril
liantly lighted arena , In comfnrtaoly nud al
most luxurious seals without having under
gone anything like discomfort on their jour
ney to tha battle ground. Instead of a dis
orderly mob , tbov 11 ml surrounding the in
men of respectability , who nro in the ordi
nary wulics of Ilfo , who have no noUon ol
creating anv Jlsturounco , and , In addition to
this safeguard against any thing of rowdyism ,
they sco n strong force of police ready to
stump out un > thing resembling disorder.
Ihoy sco n ring made with the most scrupu
lous regard lor the stifoty of contestants ,
bavlcg heavily padded posts uud ropes
Ilrmly adjusted.
Noisy In n Quiet Wuy.
The picture presented by the interior ot
the ulub house tonight wns ono to bo loner
remembered. All about the ring wore doou
rows of boxes Hllcd to ovoiflowing with
peon'o who were willing to pay an extrava
gant prlco for choice scats , and between
these npd tho.ring wcro rows of press seats
running all around the on tor ring , provided
with a long planed board , which served the
reporters us' u tnblo upon which to vyrlto
Uielr copy as the llcht wus in progress.
Boyohd the boxes was a broad aisle , ana
tben from its outer cdgo to Iho extreme ton
of the walls rose tier uponnler ofsaats , , al !
of which wcro crowded with spectators.
The night was warm , and long before tbo
hour for the men to enter the ring had
arrived , coats had been laid nsido , and thest
crcat bunks of humanity looked like ter *
races of black , white and pink in regular
rows , Iho dancer bluck line presenting the
trovscrs and wulstcouts of the spectators ,
the whlto the shirt sleeves , nnd tbo pmk thi
faces , which , tn the distance , In splto of thq
brilliant otactrlo lights , looked dim and In *
distinct.
Though the best of order nnd good
( humor prevailed , what would have baen onlj
n low hum of voices in an ordinary sized

wus always in vain , for the roar made by tb

counted for almost nothing as compared
with It.
The crowd appeared to bo pretty ovcnlj

plenty of friends , hut It would have been
difficult to toll whluh was the favorite from
