 THE LAND LAWS.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The snb- committee on pablic lands will probably recommend a mum Der of radical changes in the home cad laws. Among them 1t is prOpo ed to give a homestead claimant one year from the date of entering the land to establish residence thereon. It is further proposed to admit homestead claims to final proof and patent only at the end Of seven years from the date of entry. But lIitle attention has yet been given 10 the pre>cmption law, but there IS better reason for expecting radical amend ments than its repeal.

mo CHOLERA Epiasmac.

ToULoN, July 1O.-Dr. Koch, the
head of the Berlin Cholera Commission,
who Is investigating the disease in
France, Is inclined to believe that the
cholera was introduced here by some
English ship which failed to report
the deaths that occurred on board dur
ing the passage, and which falsified
the log to prevent detection. Several
French doctors here reject DIR. Koch's
views in regad to cholera. They in
sist that the inocu iation of a number
of animals with Asiatic cholera mi
crobes failed TO give them cholera.
The number of deaths from cholera
here last evening was ten. One of the
victims was the Lady Superior OF the
Sisters Of Charity. Two deaths occurred
to-day. There was one death at Ollio-
ules, four miles west of this city.
