THE COTTON OUTLOOK.
The Condition of the Crop Not rs Favor

ST. Lotus, Aug. 2s.-The Globe Dem
ocrat thus summarizes the reports of
Its correspondents throughout the cot
ton belt Tor the week:
The majority of the reports from the cotton
states are less favorable than last week. Tho
wet weather continues with what must be to
the planters oXasperating monotony An
Alabama correspondent says scarcely day
has passed without rain since the 18th
day of June, and the same report could
be made from nearly every district In Mtssls-
sippi Alabama and Georgia. Some of tho esti.
mates of damage from the oxc xcassive rains and
attendant evils must be considered exagger
ated, but the most conservative judge must
concede that tho prospects are anything
but promising Texas, Louisiana and
Arkansas have not had so much
wet weather but even in these
states the rainfall duriug tho past week has
been genorally hoavy, and. except whore rain
was needed, has had an injurious effect on the
crop The worst result of tho rains, however,

fallen nearly every day during the past week

has therefore been beneficial. But Terrill
Greenville, Belton Paris, Hilsboio, Houston
and Columbus report too much water
and more or less injury resulting there
from. In the Lower Brazos and Colo

be spreading rapidly, and in many places
have swept the fields clean They getting
numerous in the northern part OF the state

vicinity damaged 30 pcr cent during tho week
by tho boil worms and their ravages III

FL. PASo, Tex, Aug. pa company

The dam will he built about five
miles above FL paso, in the mountain
gateway. 1t will be 800 feet long, OF
solid masonry from cliff to cliff, resting
on a solid limestone foundation, and
will he scvcntyfve feet high.
Col. Adson Mills, of the United States
corps of engineers, estimates the cost of
the dam at $500, 900
There will be two double iron gates
ON the Texas side of the canyon and
two of precisely the same size and pat
tern on the Mexican side. From these
gates two canals will he cut through
the rock. following the bluff ON the
Texas and Mexican sides. capable of
carrying a volume of water twenty
feet wide and ten feet deep. Col. Mills
estimated the full cost of the completed

LONDON, Aug. 26.-Everybodyi is talk.
ing about the cholera and the chances
Of the scourge invading Great Britain.
Tho newspapers are beginning to pub
lish so-called remedies. every fad being
given full publicity. $Thcse, with the
dispatches contained in the papers,
have II tendency to create public alarm
and neutralizc any effect which might
have otherwise been produced by the
calm tone of the editorials of the lead
ing journals, in which the avoidance
of worry and apprehension is urged,
while the taking of all reasonable pre-
caution Is also advised,
The Lancet takes g pessmistic view
of the situation. 1t is regarded by
many as n signifcnits' fact, as the Lam
Get is recognized as Il very weighty au.
thority on all matters of this kind. II
must be admitted, too, that the Lancet
has constantly predicted just what was
occurred in connection with the present
march of cholera. 1t uttered its first
warning when the epidemic had hardly
reached sufficient proportions in the
cast to attract general attention. These
warnings have been reiterated at every
step of the disease westward. The
true nature of the disease from which
Paris suffered for time was also
exposed by the Lancet, and it was
largely due to this exposure that the
French government awolic to action
and succeeded III stamping out the
plague before it had reached formid-
able stage in the French capital The
paper now takes the ground that there
is every reason to expect the advent of
the cholera in England. The duty of
the hour is to prepare for the invasion
rs if its coming was assured. For this
reason the Lancet advises the iinlnc-
diatc opening of training schools for
| cholera nurses. Unless this training is
begun ut once it says we are likely To
find ourselves in the grasp of the cpl

| bic of attending the sick. The paper
declares that the ordinary nurses cam
not deal properly with cholera patients.

Foster and Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Spaulding. Later they sent
for officials Of the Marine Hospital bu-
roau and discussed the question of an
absolute quarantine of vessels plying
between this country and the infected
ports Of Europe. 1t was not deemed
necessary ut this time TO take such ac-
ticr, hut it is more than likely that it
will be done before many days. There
is at least one official who strongly
urges an absolute quarantine, and he
thinks it ought to hc ordered at once.
Speaking on this to-day he said:
1T is twcnty-seven years since the
United States has been visited by Ash

it don't want another experience of the
dreaded disease. No YES I'll should be

and no question of Inconvenience of

is likely to be carried should be
accepted from anyrort whcrc the dis

of health officers should be made to
guard the entry Of tramp steamers at

my opinion, will prevent the cholera
