The Treas ury department Is acting promptly on all matters that have a bcarlnz on the cholera epidemic and nothing will bo left undone that may tend 10 keep the infection from the Bh ro. of this country. To nil Intents and pu poics there now exists a national quar antine , tbo co-operation of the national ana state authorities resulting In the formation o. ( a or Jon which will make it extremely difficult tor a case of cholera to roach tbo shores of the United States. Surgeon General Wymuu of the marlno hospital sorvlco la now considering a propo- nltton to continue tha inspection of baggage through the warmer part of the winter. Thn Treasury department requested the Navy department to loan the marine hospital scrvlco an old hulk or abandoned vessel of some kind to bo used as a hospital at the Capo Charles quarantine station. The Navy department , however , was unable to comply * \vllh the request , as there was nothing of the kind available. To llu rittiMl Up ns u Hospital. Secretory Charles Foster has turned.over to the marlno hospital sorvlco , the old revenue eultor Kwing , now tied up at Baltimore , and she will bo tatcon to the Chesapeake bay quarantining station , where Bho will bo anchored off shore and will be lilted up for a hospital , so that If any cholori' patients are found aboard any of the Incoming ships they will not hate to Do landed for treatment In the hospitals hero , but can bo kept entirely isolated on board the Evvlnp. It is probable the Gwlng will bo retained permanently by the mattno hospital service as n hospital ship at Capo Charles station. It is evident that the people living along the Canadian border and these further Boutb , who would snITer most by reason o ( the Introduction of cholera from Canada , nro upprohonslvo that the disease mnv outer the United States unless stringent precautions nro taken to prevent it. Two tolcgrams , on tbo subject were received at "tno Treasury department dm Ing tlio evening. Ono of them was addressed to Acting Secretary Bpaldtng , from C. L. McArthur , editor of the Troy ( N. Y. ) Budget. It said : "Tho cholera eimo to Troy In 1SW and 1833 nnd later via Montreal and was very disastrous. Will you take any measures , and If so what , lo prevent It crossing from Canada , whore forolt'n vessels nra now arriving from in- feutja portsl Please answer bv wire today.

" The department this afternoon decided to order the revenue steamer \Vloonu from Nowburn , N. C. , to Delaware breakwater , where she will assist In enforcing the quur- unllno regulations. The officials of the White Stir line tolo- gruphod the department today asking whether tha steamer Teutonic , which is uxpootod to nrrlvo at Maw York soon , would be detained nt quarantine.

Every suspicious cnso of illness Is seized upon and forthwith pronounced nn unquestionable specimen of Asiatic cholern. Hoports to the contrary are all found outside of the columns of these papers. Thcro is not much Indication of cholera panic , nnd I do not bollovo the prophesies of these sensation mongers will bo realized. No ono can deny that there Is a grand field for grand ravnsos of iho pest in this thickly populated cast end district of London , but it Is true that the authorities nro devoting tholr energy to thoroughly overhauling every house , cloning rooms and making a vigorous scnch fur refuse , in order to bo fully pre pared for the reception of the unwo como guest if it should nrrlvo.

The president of police reported that not a single case of Asiatic cholera had yet bean certi fied to In Horliu. Statements were read from Prof. Koch nnd Counsellor Uahts , together with n general report to the govern ment of the whole health condition In Ger many. iJoth the statements and the report were reassuring , although Prof. Koch thinks the worst period of the epidemic In Hamburg nnd Altona has not yet passoj. The authorities of tlamburg and Altona nro blamed for concealing the prcseuco of the disease. The first outbreak ocurrcd In Hamburg as far back ns August 14 , and at Altona on August 18.

Tbo health ofllco promises to furnish him with nil the Inform itlon it receives. Tlio consuls within Edwards' Jurisdiction bavo been ordered lo keen a sharp lookout and to report by cable to Washington with out delay nny cases of ctiolcra occurring in their districts. Mr. Charles Johnson , the consul at Ham- burp , was visiting Borlln with his family when ho learned that Hamburg had been ut- tackod. Ho ut onco.returned to his post.

Tonight's advices leave every populous place In Germany free from Asiatic cholera , except Hamburg , where 1'rof. Koch's predictions - dictions regarding tha spread of the plague nre being fulfilled.

The ambulance sorvlco nnd the means for the rapid burial of tha victims have been greatly augmented. The exodus of the wealthier Hamburg lamihes is now proceeding on n largo scale. Though the loading thoroughfares present tnclr usual as pect , the shopkeepers dcclaro that business Is stagnant. Many of them would close tholr shops , but are prevented through fear of adding to the public depression , which wants but llttlo to become nn absolute panl" .

INow York Herald Cable Special to Tuu Ben. | Everybody here Is talking of tbo Labouchero affair , and as the Incidents connected with it are very unusual and likely to causa considerable stir for some time to come , I feel bound to relate the true story. Some ueopla may say : "Why is so much fuss madn about Mr. La- bouohorel Is bo a person oi any Influence ! " The answer must bo that ho Is , whether you regard him as a. member of pnrllaincnt or a : a JournclUt. In ttio former capacity ho Is very industrious nnd familiar with all the forms of the house , n ready though not polished speaker , and a most per nicious opponent. Ho holds fast when once ho has got bis teeth on , and there Is no shaking him off. Ho manages to amuse the House , and therefore bo Is sure of obtaining n hearing. As a crltio of expenditures on royal palaces , pensions , allowances and simi lar cbargcs ho is foarlcss and some uouldsay reckless. lle'H a Terror with Tongue or I'on. Ho gives utcranco to all the nastiest things ho can think of , and nobody is too high or too low for his lash , once ho falls loul of anybody. Then his power is increased by the fact that ho is tha solo proprietor of Truth , which now has the largest circulation of all society papers. Ho hns shown up n good many rascals and successfully .resisted doz ens of libel suits. Ho bits all 'round , without caring for the consequences and is master of that lively , rattllnir style of writing which is sure to llnd readers. Ho makes his Journal help bun , ns a politician , while bis politics act us a perpetual adver tisement foi his Journal. In the House of Commons smoking room bo is always tbo centre of a listening throng , for ho never fails to bo amusing. Such n man generally gets Jnto oOlico when l\ \ ( ? party Is in powcr.'and Mr. Lauoucboro fully expected It. Why was ho passed overt Ho IVas Wrong Thin Tlinn. In accounting for this Lib by rusbod bead long into a fatal error and wrote a letter de claring that the queen refused to consider bis name bucnusn of bis attacks on the royal grants. I was in a position to inform you at the moment that ho was wrong nnd that Mr. Gladstone never submitted his .uamu to the queen. Sir Charles Dilkc began his career by attacking the queeu In a peculiarly offensive manner. That did not prevent him becom ing a minister nf the crown. The qucon bas no small resentments. Sbo lives down attacks ana forgets her assailants. Mr. Gladstone has uohnvcd with perfect propriety In this disagreeable business. Ho bas written n letter to Mr. Labouchero taking upon himself tlio complete- responsibility of what has oc curred , and robuklng him for betraying nis confidential communications. I.nliliy Is irivliij ; nig run. All the Journalists have been after ' Lubby" to get hold of this letter. They don't know tbelr man. Ho Is saving It for next weok'b Truth , so that oven the loss of ofllco shall ba madu to bring more grUt to bis mill in an other way , I cannot find that anyone Justifies bis attack on the queen. Ho is perfectly right in maintaining that "ruling families" nnd 'itiie gentlemanly brigade" bavo received more than their fair share of the spoils. Mr. Aiquuh , tbo now homo secroiary , Is described as a ir.oro recltor of speeches corn- milted to memory. Tha under secre tary for foreign affairs cannot speak u word of French. The persons placed iii choree of the navy are ignorant of ships aud guns. Lord Uoaoberry was put line the cabinet to frustrate tbo rad ical policy on foreign affairs.
