Washington. July S.-The Missouri River
Commission. which ceased to exist June %.

The commission has been in existence

The report states that the policy OF the

control Of the river, contracting II where
necessary. giving the channel proper direc-
ton and securely holding ii I'm place. but
that unfortunately the commission has not
been permitted to carry that plan out.
The report then enters into an elaborate
defense OF the commission. based on crit
icisms in the press and in the report OF the
House Committee on Rivers and HarbOrs.
II is asserted that Congress specifically
directed the expenditure Of funds for local
work un~connected with the general Improve
ment of the river TO the amount of S,2S.OoD.

The report says that this expenditure has
produced much good. although there IS now
danger attending the navigation Of the riv-
er, as attested by the wrecks OF 800 steam
boats lying imbedded in the sand.
II Is claimed that no sufficient imrroVe-

Cairo. Egypt. July 2s.-one hundred and

The epidemic is almost viruIent in charac-

Many OF the natives are attacked in the

A state Of panic prevails. All hope OF To-

for that purpose before praying. Some
