Minneapolis had another cholera scare yesterday. The morning trains at the union depot brought in two parties of immigrants; one consisted of four men from Hamburg, and the other of three men from Bremen. The latter had first-class tickets over the Northern Pacific road, and took the 4:55 train for the Northwest. It is not known what became of the party of four, and the immigrant agent at the union depot is considerably worried, for it was partially his fault they were allowed the privilege of leaving the depot without first being detained in the immigrant room for examination. Friday morning the government inaugurated a system of train inspection which will render the sanitary precautions still more formidable. Each train leaving New York for the Northwest, having on board immigrants, carries with it a government inspector. The first one of these inspectors arrived in this city Friday morning and the second one yesterday morning. The one that arrived yesterday was watching the party of four immigrants referred to above, inasmuch as it was not exactly clear that they had undergone the necessary inspection in New York. In some way they were allowed to enter the union depot here without being seen by the immigrant agent. They were found in the main waiting room by the night agent, who came on duty a trifle earlier than usual. He asked the men where they were going and where they came from, but one of them, who, it seems, has been in America before, acted as spokesman, and declined to tell the agent anything of their affairs. The agent hurried to find the government inspector, who was desirous of having the party detained, but when the two came back to the waiting room the immigrants had taken their departure.

Their baggage is still at the depot and will be kept there for some little time until the health authorities have decided what to do in the matter. The night immigrant agent was seen at the depot last night by a GLOBE reporter and asked if the immigrants who escaped from the depot were suffering from any disease. He stated that he did not know, but he was chagrined to think they got away from the depot. At 10:20 yesterday morning it was reported at police headquarters that an immigrant had been taken very ill at Ende's hotel on First street south. An assistant city physician was notified, but before he put in an appearance Dr. Muldberg was called to attend the sick man. It was feared by officers in the police station that the case might turn out to be one of cholera, but it happily turned out to be a case of alcoholism, attended with cramps in the stomach. The sick man is not an immigrant, though he arrived on the Soo train from some point in Canada. His name is O. W. Lane and his home is in Turtle Lake, Wis.
