THE EPIDEMIC.
CLIMAX REACHED IN SYDNEY.
[Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received Sunday, 5.5 p.ra.) SYDNEY, Last Night
The week-end influenza position is somewhat easier, and there is a growing hope that the climax, so far as the metropolitan area is concerned, may have passed. Both the number of cases and, the deaths have materially decreased.
In the country, however, the disease continues to spread, and some towns are suffering severely. In Victoria the position tends to improve, though the daily death roll is still considerable. In South Australia and Tasmania the disease continues tq claim a number of victims.
The Queensland authorities arc taking the strictest precautions, and so far have kept the influenza confined to visiting shipping.
