Cholera is also spreading in Corea. The Japnnese Consul at Vladivostok states that cholera of a mild type has broken out there. Advices from Santiago de Chili are that Chili will agree to the removal of the landmark, San Francisco de Limaehe, in accordance with the Argentine contention, allow the boundary line to pass through the highest peaks of the Andes, and thus solve satisfactorily the long," vexiug question of the two countries. Small-pok has been officially declared epidemic in the East End, or workingclass residence district of the city of London, nnd in consequence there is great alarm throughout the metropolis. The first case was reported about three weeks ago, and Monday the number of cases under treatment aggregated 482. The affected district includes such thickly populated parishes as Whitechapel, Shoreditch, Bethnal Green and Poplar. M. Rothschild’s banking house in Paris was the scene Thursday of another nihilistic attempt. In the vestibule a detective on guard saw a stranger trying to light the fuse of a bomb which he eftr-

cried with a dgaret. The jishea on the cigaret prevented the ready ignition of the fuse, and the weapon did not explode. The man was arrested. When he was taken to the police office he boldly avowed himself an anarchist and declared that he intended the bomb as on anarchistic demonstration. Hong Kong advices say: The leader of the Ku-Cheng riots, in which a number of English and American missionaries were killed, has been arrested. An at-. teiuot was made by Chinese soldiers to kidnap this person in the hope of seeux. ing the reward which had been offered for his delivery to the authorities. The total number of arrests thus far of those concerned in the Ku-Cheng massacre is ISO: Twenty-three of the number have been convicted, Jjut up to this time sentence has not been passed upon any of them, the Viceroy of Fu-Kien demand? ing the right to review the evidence ad--dttced at the trials. . —i—- ■ - It is officially announced at Constantinople that Rustem Pasha, Turkish Ambassador to England, has telegraphed to -tho Foreign Minister that he lms had an tion with Lord Salisbury, whom he had assured that the Sublime Porte is not opposed' to the reforms proposed by the Powers signatory to the treaty of Berlin, but that Turkey could not permit control of Armenia by an international commission. Lord Salisbury replied that under the circumstances it would be useless to continue the interview. If, he said, the Porte persists in its refusal, the Towers will undertake the suggested reforms and rest satisfied. If, however, the Porte continues to resist, Lord Salisbury added, it would be a signal for the dismemberment of Turkey. The dispatch has caused the greatest uneasiness.
