I PER UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION. I St. Petersbubg, August 4. Cliolei'a has made its appearance in St. Petersburg, in Kursk, South of Moscow, and m Tobolsk, Siberia. It is spreading in the Novgorod district. Pabis, August 4. Cholera has decreased in suburbs, but is spreading in the city. Washington, August 4. Fnck, Lovejoy and Pol tor, Mr Carnegis's managers, and five of Pinkerlon's officers, are elmrgod with murdering workmen during tho rcnent riots. At the inquest upon the victims of the Pittsburg riot, the jury found that the strikers were killed while in an unlawful assembly, and did not attempt to fix the blame on anyone individually. London, August 4. A niece of VJr (xosclien, while wilkmg in a field near Chislehurst, was wilfully shot in the face by a labourer. A girl friend who was accompanying her was struck on the head with the gun and received concussion of the brain. The man was arrested. His motive is at prespnt unknown. It is believed that Mr Gladstone has satisfied the Nationalist leaders as to the nature of his scheme for Home Rule. The Tyne and Wear engineers and boiler-miikers accept a reduction of from 5 to 7\ per cent in wages. The Miners' Federation of Great Britain refuses Mr Gladstone's suggestion to allow local option upon the eight hours question, and urge* the appointment of a Labour Minister. The amount of capital invested in British railway lines is £807,000,00). August 5. The Times considers that in view of the trouble that has overtaken Australia, Sir G. R. Dibbs cannot be surprised at his failure to persuade the Government to allow the investment of trust funds in Colonial securities. When Australia deals with railway finances, commercial and labour problems, in a more statesmanlike and straightforward way, it will be easy to persuade the British investor the colonies are able to pay their debts. The financial measures resorted to by Victoria and Tasmania resemble the shifts to which bankrupt Portugal is driven to resort to, but are hardly creditable to a great colony. Justin Macarthy's election as sessional chairman of the Nationalist party was assisted by a council, consisting of Blake, Davitt, Tim Healey, Sexton, O'Brien, Dillon, Arthur O'Connor, and T. P. O'Connor. Speaking at the Eighty Club, Blake advocated a wide measure of Home Kule, but admitted the Imperial Parliament should be able to suspend the Irish Constitution. Sydney, August 6. Under the will of Mr Harrison, wool merchant, provision is made for the establishment and endowment of a College of Music similar to the Pans and Vienna institutions.
