Criminal Law Bill Passes Commons
AnglO-C Chinese Alliance.


LONDON, August 7.-Whatsver may be
the nature or the cause of the cholera in
Marseilles, and whatever view of the dis
ease in that city may be adopted or pub.
lished by the municipal and National au.
thorities, 1t is certain that the scourge is
spreading rapidly, and endangering the
lives of the inhabitants throughe.t the
city as well as of travellers who may be de.
ceived as to the peril which threatens them
there. The facts that continually come to
light contradict the statements made
by the officials, and betray
condition of things which
menaces a still further spread Of the cpl.
demic. The latest Of these unconcealable
facts is the reopening of the Pharos Hos
in consequence Of the undated increase of
the cholera. All the beds in the other hos
pitfalls are already occupied, and If the
number Of cases continues to increase in
the samtsratio as at present. the Pharos
will soon find its accommodations severely
taxed.

Greatest Cotton Crop for Many Years.

ATLANTA, Ga, August 9.-During the
past ten days reports of the appearance Of
caterpillars have come from various sec.
tions of the South with such frequency as
to justify the fear that the finest cotton
crop ever known was endangered. In
order to ascertain precisely the extent Of
this danger, the Constitution addressed in
quiries to It's correspondents for informa-
ton. To summarize, it may be said that
the crop, as a whole, Is the best that has
been known for years; that the yield
will largely exceed any previ-
Gus crop; that while in some 1ocalia
ties the caterpillar has appeare6 rs 3
general thing 1t is too late to do serious in
jury. It appears further that in those To-
calities where the worms have appeared in
their most malignant form, and there are
very few such instances, they have as yet
generally confined themselves to the foliage
OF the plant, and the fruit is but slightly
injured; that they have appeared to q
greater extent In localities where the crop
Is farthest advanced; that before they can
do material injury the crop will be ma.
tured, and that II they had come q month
earlier they might have done serious in.

The first odd thing that strikes a visi-

different name. They do not take the
streets entire, but each block is numbered
and named by itself; and it is often the
