the au,bor Of the Anglo-French agreement
which was defeated in the Egyptian confer
snce. II 4 reported that N. Waddington
cifers 10 resign.
The Figaro. referring 10 the subject,
says IN. Waddington's successor must
display greater energy against the spread
OF English power. French end English
interests are now completely opposed, and
. conflict IL inevitable in the near future"
The rupture OF tn, conference. the paper
says. is grave enough event, but is hopes
il will not have TO announce that the latent
conflict has passed into an open conflict.
la Repubiigue EfdncGise maintains th,t
although the agreement has been lapsed
England admitted the claims OF France to
special rights in Egypt. France, the paper
says, must vindicate her rights. England
has not vet evicted Europe from Egypt.
Englsnd's asserted freedom and power OF

Rain Needed In Toxas for the Cotton
Crops.
10y Telegraph 10 the Dispatch

GALVESTON, TEX. August 1.-THE News
says While in some portions OF the north
and east OF Texas during the past week
rain has fallen in refreshing quantity, s
still greater portion Of the cotton-groN-
ing Districts il suffering from continued
drought. In Central Texas this Is espe.
cially the case, and unless there Is RIM
fall in this district within the coming week
the cotton crop will be cut badly. Still IN
q large and productive section OF the State
the cotton will stand the drought ten days
longer. on the Waco division OF the Gen.
trail railroad, through Falls and McLennan
counties, the cotton Is still strong aud
vigorous. Beyond Waco, on the same line
Of railroad, there have been rains sufficient
TO mako the crop. on the Missouri Pacihc
line, from Waco TO Austin, and again on
the lins OF the Central railroad from Aus.
tin 10 the BraZos bottoms, the cotton Is SIM
in promising condition, all that section
of the State, embracing six or eight heavy
counties, being able TO Withstand the
drought for some time to come. The stu
alton is critical, however, a: many points,
but with general rains in the ns1t elghi
days a full average cotton crop may yes os
made. On the line OF the Trsnscontinentai
railroad and also the Two branches OF the
Missouri Pacific road the prospects are
fairly good, while in Southern Texas cotton
il spotted, being fair 10 some sections and
bad in others. Central and portions OF
Eastern Texas sre suffering the most at this
time, and unless relief comes soon this re-
gion will te seriously injured, IS Tar a. The
cotton crop IL concerned. This IL the ac-
tual condition at the present writing.
