Reports from Alexandria show that the cholera has taken possession of that city, and that the death rate is increasing daily. Cholera exists not only among the natives, but in the barracks of the English soldiery and in the European hotels and private houses The plague, whether it be endemic or epidemic, is spreading, and threatens to go farther than Alexandria The Electrical Exhibition was opened at Vienna by the Crown Prince Rudolph with great ceremony. The weather was unfavorable for the opening, but nevertheless thousands of people were in attendance. Agents of deportation of the Irish have taken up the queer idea of appealing to the Irish in America to come to the aid of the English Government in its efforts to expatriate the poor of Erin In the English House of Commons, Parnell threatened that if the shortcomings of the land act were not soon remedied he would lead an agitation deeper and more desperate than any hitherto experienced in Irish politics.

Healy will visit the United States after the adjournment of Parliament in the interest of the Irish Land-League movement Dwellings in the towns of Casamicciola and Forio, on Ischia island, recently ruined by an earthquake, are being built in large numbers, mostly of wood. • In the British House of Commons Gladstone said the habitual violence of the, language used by Healy, a Home-Rule member, deserved the severest reprobation, as tending to stimulate national hatred. Healy replied that there would soon be physical warfare if the Irish had the power to engage in a struggle. It is expected that one of the Irish

JSishops will visit the United States to raise money to supplement the $250,000 grant to carry out the Parnell migration scheme of uftffng peasants at the “congested” district® on rectaixned waste lands. The Tories of the House es Lords have decided to reject the Irish Registration bill, which has passed the Commons, and which proposes to assimilate the Irish to the English system. It is probable that the Commons will not insist on the passage of the bill. It would greatly increase the power of the Parnellites in several of the Irish constituencies.
