Cznr Mnnfa Money.

New York, August 2S.-A dispatch to the
Times from Paris says: With regard to
the cars rumored visit to Paris, the
French press, on the whole. seems firmly
persuaded that it is undertaken with a
view of raising another Russian loan in
Paris.
This impression is altogether changing
the popunr attitude with regard to the
Franco Russian alliance and many papers,
representing the most diverse opinions,
declare that France is paying far too high
price for the friendship of her northern
neighbor.
At the present iuncture this attitude OF
France is important as, If the Franco Rus
sian alliance breaks down. the whole face
of European politics Is changed.

Waco Texas. August 27,--An explors-
ton of the Bosaue as to that portion Of
tho stream draining McLennan. Bosque,
Somervoll and Erath counties has been
made by Captain ]. D. Reynolds. once a
United States engineer, his purpose being
TO ascertain Its levels and possibilities
for affordlng water for factory purposes,
tor supplying cities and villages, and for
irrigation. Captain Reynolds will sub
nit his charts and his report 10 COM
pany which sent him out for the pur-
pose. and in the meantime he gave out
some interesting notes OF his journey.
He says the Bosque possesses good
drinking water along its entire coursej
that 1t is fed by more than 90 600 springs.
and that IL is better drinking water dur
ing seasons OF protracted drouth tnan II
is when there have been recent rains,
for the reason that the surface drainage
runs off and leaves nothing in the stream
| except pure, clear spring water. The
engineer gave 1t as his opinion that the
Bosaue and its tributaries. II impounded
in immense storage reservoirs, would
supply the entire State of Texas with
water. and he further stated that IT was
ii reasonable and practicable proposition
/ TO make the reservoirs and convey the
water to the various cities situated at
| lower attitudes through system OF pipes
! thereby affording a never-failing supply,
/ such as would prove acceptable as drink
/ ing water to the most fastidious popula-
| tion.
The Bosdue is more than 800 feet high

the Tribune from London says While
India is suffering from one of the worst
outbreaks of cholera ever recorded, SO
that people are dying at the rate of 1000
u week, Great Britain is alarmed by the

authorities at Glasgow have already had
several cases under their observation. ON
Monday a child sickened and died within
f-rty- eight house from an illness which
was at FIST thought to be pneumonia, but
after minute examination it was pro-
ncunced plague. Another death has oc
CURED and ten families were removed to
a reception house for PATIENTS suffering
from this disease which the municipality
has hastily established.
