Cotton Report.

ST. LOUIS, August 26.-This weeks
review of the cotton crop reads: 1.-The
last seven days have generally I'M
proved the outlook for cotton. The
best prospect as heretofore is in Tex
as, where picking has begun regu-
larry in sections and where one report
says the crop will be the largest for
l0years despite the decreased acreage.
Rains have fallen in Arkansas, WI ere,
although the crop is late, it will be
about as large as last years.. There
is better outlook in the Memphis
dis strict, where lateness is the fault of
the crop.
This is due mostly to recent floods.
In Mississippi there has been too
much rain aud some quarters report
the plant not fruitlng as 1t
should. In Louisiana there has
been q cessation of continuous rains
followed by cloudy weather, which
has prevented rust and sheddings.
The situation is more cheerful. In
South Carolina there is little change
from unfavOrable conditions hereto.
fore reported, which. make the crops
late and poor. Reports of boil worms
are more frequent than a week ago,
but all say their work will not do
serious damage. Caterpillars are
heard of In both Mississippi and Ala

CHICAGO, Aug 26.-The North Side
street car system is about to abandon
the horse as q motive power and
adopt the Belgium steam motor.
Several devices for rapid transit have
been tried lately, among which are the
underground electric wire, Connolly

others. In the Belgium motor, Presi-
dent Yearkes believes he has found a
practical solution of rapid transit and

Cholera News.

LONDON, Aug. 26.-The Gri mesby
sanitary committee mas ordered q
steamer fitted up as a cholera hos
pital. SO far no cases of cholera have
been reported in Great Britain.
The Hamburg steamer Comma, which
arrived at Grsvesend yesterday, was
reported to be infected, but the re-
port proved to be unfounded and the
emigrants aboard were allowed to
land, after undergoing strict inspec.
ton.
LONDON, August 26.-There is no
doubt cholera has entered England.
A few hours after two aliens were
permitted TO land from the steamer
Gemms. Y esterday at Gravesend they
were taken sick. They were removed
to Gravesend hospital, where doctors
pronounced the malady cholera. In
spite of everything done for them
they died shortly after they were ad-
mitted. This causes considerable
anxiety. but there is no panicky feel
ing. The local government board
aud health authorities of the various
English ports will see that more strict
inspection is made OF vessels and pas
sengers from infected ports.
Today the steamer Laura.
plying between Hamburg and
Lynn Regis, an English port,
arrived at Lynn. She was board
ed by health officials who found
two cholera suspects on board. The
vessel was at once ordered to put
back to sea. The officers and pas
sengers protested against such sum-
mary treatment, but the health Of
ficers We're obdurate and persistently
refused to let a single person land
from tb g steamer.
Six passengers on board the Ham.
burg American steamer Colum'
bia, from New York, which ar
rived at Southampton yesterday,
changed their minds about pro-
ceeding to Hamburg when they
learned of the cholera epidemic
there. They left the Columbia when
they found that the company hsd
ordered that it proceed no further
and took passage for Flushing, IN the
Netherlands. Two hundred pas
sengers remained on board the Co.
lum bia, not having made up their
minds what routes they would take
to reach the continent.
BERLIN, August 26.-Orders have
been issued to stop railway traffic
with Russia at every point along the
frontier of East Prussia with the ex-
ception of Eatkuhnnen and Prostken.
ANTWERP, Aug. 26.-The Scheldt
board health has taken action such
as is likely to cause little reliance TO
be placed in the bills of health issued
by it. 1t Is announced that it sees no
reason to make any change in its
bills of health OH account
of q, few suspicious cases
of sickness coming from Havre and
Ham burg. 1t will therefore continue
to deliver clean bills of health.
Asst is indfsputably proved that
Asiatic cholera is prevalent in Ant
werp, authorizes of other countries Will
know the value of clean bills OF health
issued by the Scheldt boards. At
any rate they will not be accepted at
the Hague, that port having already
officially declared that Antwerp Is
infected with cholera.
HAMBURG, Aug. 26.-There are l6O
cholera deaths and bodies await
burial because undertaker's assist
ants are deserving. Business ts proc
trsted. Army surgeons are assisting
the civilians.

The Hon. Darius Fl. Ingraham is very
profuse in promises. He was when he
was nominated for Mayor. He promised
then that his administration would i'm
prove the business of Portland and re-
form the liquor agency. AS the Argus
is alleging day after day that business is
in very bad state it seems reasonable to
infer that Mr.. Ingraham's performance
has fallen far short of his promise.
How he has reformed the liquor agency
the crowds that have thronged that in
stitution for several days past sufficiently
disclose. He is promising now that if
elected to Congress he will promote trade
with Canada, fortify Portland and do
various other things more or less desira-
BILE. Until he fulfils the promises he
made last spring people will be likely to
take very little stock in his new ones.

ceived from other sources also large
sums and their treasury is overlooking.
No stone is to be left unturned to carry
this city and county for SWEET and if
possible for the whole ticket. Corrup-
ton and intimidation are to be used to
supplement falsehood and specious ar
guments. Their workers are boastful
and defiant, openly claiming that they
will have this city, even if they have to
resort to miscounting to get it. All the
disreputahle elements are working night
and day to compass the defeat of Mr..
Cram. If the decent people of this COM
munity do not want to see habitual vio-
lators of the law in virtual control of the
legal machinery of this county, it is high
time for them to bestir themselves.
Work is needed, constant, earnest work
until the polls close on Monday.
