This statement received Its falsification today , tit least so far as Antwerp Is concerned. The leading physicians of Antwerp now declare that the dlsonsa Is trun Asiatic cholera. The dlsonso Is now admittedly proiont In three of the great northern European por.s Hamburg , Antwerp and llavrti , nnd there is ! * n strong suspicion that so-called cholcrino prevalent at Stotlln will turn out to ba Asia tic cholera. The announcement that tho-fntal scourge hns appeared hero has caused it fooling of ap prehension and many of the wealthier resi dents uro malting preparations to leave the city.

The beginning ot thu end ot what was , until last Sunday , nn almost general strike of switchmen In the Buffalo rallroaa ; yards , wis mirkod by Mr. Sweeney's appeal to the heads of other or ders to meet him In cotiloronco tu this city. Mr. Sweeney was brought lace to face with tbo fuel that tboro was no longer any strike of switchmen in the liultato yards. Their loader then recognized the fact that If his men were saved at all some power beyond his resources or tholrs must bo invoked. The fact should bo stated , which has not b3on mada public , as ono of the conditions which hampered Mr. Swconoy , that the llnances of his order arp exceedingly limited. The organization Is without money. Thus , at the close of the last weak , with the fact of renewed tr.illlo movement on tus' rail roads confronting him und without an ofllclal bank ncocunt at his command , Mr. Sweeney know thut his cause was lost. Ho turned , as a last resort. , toward the other ortiinlz-itions of railway workers , and his invitations to Messrs. Sargent , Clark , Arthur. Wilkinson and TtiurHlon , were Indications that the switchmen were to confess defeat without fraternal aid.
