NEWS BY TELEGRAPH

United States. New York, Sept. 28.

_ Encouraging reports come from Memphis ,this morning. The fatal cases yesterday | numbered but 28, a decrease of 15 from the previous day. ‘The general feeling is said to prevail amorg the physicians there that | the crisis has passed, and that the worst is | over. | The situation at New Orleans remains _about the same as,Thursday. There were le mes ! . | G4 deaths and 177 new !_cases_ reported yes- | terday, | ‘The mortality at Hollysprings, Miss., is said to be appalling,’and_a} change jfor gthe /worse has taken place at Vicksburg and ‘other points in that vicinity.

Another call for aid has been made by the | Howard Association at Vicksburg. | The Mayor and Health Officers of Louis- ville, Ky., deny that the yellow fever ex- ists in that city in epidemic form. There have been but a few isolated cases, and these of an indigenous character. The general health of the city has seldom, if ever, been better.

Europe. Prsta, Sept. 30.

The Radical Hungarians held ajfmass meeting here to-day to protest against the occupation of Bosnia. Defulires Kelfy and Simeoni, the leaders of the movement, and many other members of the Hungarian Diet, were*present at the ‘meeting, which was largely attended.

Resolutions were unanimously adopted declaring the occupation of Bosnia by the Austrians fatal to the Hungarian nation, and ‘protesting against the sacrifice of the blood and money of the Hungarians against their,wishes,’and demanding the withdrawal of the army_from Bosnia.

The Afghanistan Trouble.

Sr. Petrspurc, Sept. 27.

Novoe Wremega reports that Lord Salis- bury has asked the object of the Russian mission to the Ameer of Cabul, and what position Russia intends to assume regarding Afghanistan.

The Globe says this report is probably correct, but needs confirmation. lt thinks Russia will reply?that she does not feel bound to’explain jthe object of the mission, and that in avent of a war between Eng- land and Afghanistan she will observe ihe same degree of neutrality as was observed by England"during the late war between

tussia and Turkey. Lonpon, Sept. 28.

The ‘* Post’ says: ‘* We believe intima- tion of more or less value has already been made to England ef Russia's intention to immediately recall her, mission from Cabul.

A Berlin despatch states that Russia will permit her merchants and manufacturers to sell arms and ammunition to both Eng- lish and Afghans in the pending war.

Mexican Affairs.

We have mentioned more than once that there was a possibility of a war breaking out between the United States and Mexico. It would seem that there are parties in Washington who are endeavoring to bring about such a conflict. A Washington des- patch to the Boston Advertiser states that these parties who are interested in making trouble with Mexico are boasting among their friends that at last they have so en- listed the prominentfofticers of the admin- istration as to insure active steps against that country at no very distant day. Strong efforts have been made for some time to induce some of the principal members

of the administration to believe that war with Mexico} ;would be popular in the United States, and _ especial-

ly at the South, and do much to unite those who fought against each other. It is also urged that the large acquisition of ter- ritory which would follow a successful war would give the administration much repu- tation in its closing days. While those who desire trouble in order to favor schemes of their own are likely to overrate the in- fluence they suppose themselves to have at the State Department and in other quarters, there is no denying the fact that they have good grounds for a part of their belief. There are three parties vigorously at work in this matter; first, an influential railroad combination in New York, some of whose members have the ear of the State Depart- ment at all times; second, a ring largely in- terested in Mexican claims; and a_ third, the Texas border politicians and their allies. The general public in the United States certainly desire nof:war with Mexico just now, and would be prompt to punish those who would heedlessly bring one on. It is to be hoped that the latter will be disap- pointed in their designs.

The Low Class Undertakers of London.

A London correspondent of the’ Dublin Freeman says : ‘* The revolting disclosures made from time to time in connection with low-class undertakers in this overgrown city suggest that a strict system of inspec- tion should be applied. 1 do not hesitate to say that the present lax system as to the burial or disposial of the bodies of infants leads directly to crime. It certainly, in many cases, must lead to the concealment of birth; but take the ordinary case. What is the practice here as we now hear it described? A child is stillborn. The doctor gives his certificate, and the services of an undertaker are called in. <A respect- able and feeling man will secure a respect- able undertaker, and personally see to the burial ; but there is just the danger. Not long ago a scandal arose in connection with a London undertaker named Burridge. Several infants were found crammed into a coflin with the remains of a pauper adult which he had been given to bury. The unusual weight of the coffin attracted at- tention, or for some other reason it was opened, and the discover was made. What became of this case 1 do not know, but it turned out that Burridge who denied, in- deed, that he was aware of the conduct of his mén—was a very wealthy person, and very high up in a business which should be sacred, but which is sometimes rendered odtous in the case of the poorer classes. After the remains of the little one are reverently laid in their shroud the under- taker kindiy offers to give the parent ‘no more trouble.’ This, of course, may be a great temptation to poor people. The hus- band has his day’s work to do; the wife is ill. The tiny coffin disappears, and the parents are assured it was duly interred in the cemetery. The chances are ninety-nine against one that the undertaker, on reach- ing his domicile, reopens the coffin and places the fragile bedy in a big box, in which there are other similar fragments of mortality quickly resolving themselves un- der the influence of quickliime! These are all the more horrible because they are mean horrible deeds. They would disgrace, and I am certain they would outrage, the feel- ings of savages. Yet disclosures like these prove that they are of common occurrence in this city, and, that. they are carried on for the few shillings filched from the burial fees. To escape these one undertaker crams the dead infants inta a coffin with an adult, placing a ghastly cordon around the dead pauper; to escape them another flin them intoa deal box filled with quick- lime. Will no member of Parliament; or, better still, will no member of the Govern- ment, step in to stop this great social out- rage’ The name of the undertaker in the present case is Mummery. Naturally, his house was much observed of the public. He has madea statement. He says that ‘‘the skeletons” were put on one side and forgotten! Imagine forgetting, not one skeleton in the cupboard, but half a dozen of them! At present Mr. Mummery is at large, and, strange to say, the populace do not seem to have taken his case into con- sideration beyond the fact I have men- tioned—namely, that they crowd round his domestic cemetery and stare at the hand- some gilt miniature in his window.

HO Oren nseny

President Hayes and his wife, who are now making a tour of Pennsylvania, came near losing their lives at Pittsburg the other day, owing to the stupidity or carless- ness of aman who had charge of a cannon from which a salute was being fired. The gunner pointed his artillery toward the in- coming train, which shattered the glass in the windows of the Presidential car and sent the wad from the gun close by the | President’s head.
