The EUening Post undertakes TO teach Capt

he may make Iron most proftably. With great
respect for our neighbours ability, we insist that
this task is beyond its strength. If there is
anything Capt. Ward do MT know about making
Iron, it is beyond The Posts power to teach
that thing. 1t says;

Capt. Ward does not fear the rivalry OF
the Pennsylvanians, because they have to pay
for their labor &c, about the same as he has;
he does dcprecate the unchecked rivalry OF the
British ron-masters, because their labor costs
them but half so much as his does. If The Post

course. The idea of the tenement-house
which one derives from perusal OF
what has heretofore been laid before the pub

Board, is that of a lofty building inhabited by

The art of nose-pulling was nicely exhibited
IN n railway train out of Boston last week.
MFR. Curtis, banker and lawyer, was vastly an
moved by Mr.. Churchill, who was going to see
his family in the country, and who seated him
self beside Mr. Curtis with a large carpet-bag
and small toy-wagOn. Mr.. Curtis expressed
his wrath at this baggage Mr. Churchill said,
"You are no gentleman !" whereupon. said SIR.
Curtis in his testimony, az took hold Of his
"nose and turned it in a moderate and quiet
"manner." 1t should have been a satisfaction
to Mr. Churchill to have had his nose not dis
gracefully pulled, but moderately and quietly
"turned;v but it was MT, for he called Mr.
Curtis "a scOundrel,' whereupOn Mr. Curtis

TIE THREATENED VAR.

The Egyptian question looms mp again.
What was meant by the report a week ago
that the Vceroy was arming is now explained,
beyond doubt, in the letter just addressed him
by the Sultan. Unless the Yceroy will satisfy
the grievances of the Porte, the decree of 1914,
which it is supposed conferred upon him his
present power and privilege will be revoked.
This is the total purpOrt of the letter, and it
but needs to be understood that the griev-
ances complained of by the Sultan refer
to the Viceroys independent negotia-
tons for the establishment of inter
national courts in Egypt, and in general to his
unauthorized assumptions of sovereignty before
the Courts of Europe in his late journey. Back
of these prOvOcatiOns is the charge that when
the VicerOy was Crown Prince he openly boosted
that he would make it his task to erect Egypt
into an Independent kingdom.
On the side of the Yiceroy there is plausi-
BILE showing. He has entertained one of the
most useful labors of the age, and now proposes
to treat with Europe for a common harvest Of
its benefits. He asks for concurrence in the
proposition to organize Courts, presided over
by two European Judges and one native
Judge, to try causes not only between foreign
ers generally, but between natives and Franks,
their jurisprudence to be based on the
Code Napoleon. The Porte though willing
to concede this much to its Provinces of
Wallachia and Seryia, rejects the scheme of
the VicerOy's Minister, Nubar Pasha, under the
belief that in the direct step to Europe taken
by the VicerOy he has violated his fealty as a
vassal Of Turkey. The friends of the Viceroy
respond that the rights won by his ancestors
through something like downright conquest, in
the face of the Porte, entitle him TO bet
ter condition than that of vassalage. Further
more, the Viceroy processes to have scrupu-
lousy fulfilled his obligations to the Porte,
even to the finest distinctions of diplomatic ETH
quette in his visit to the courts. The treat
ment of Ismael Pasha in Paris and London,
the projectedtvisit of the Empress Eugene to
Suez by way of COnstantinople and finally Count
Won Beusts letter demurring to the suspicious
of the Sultan that his yassal has OK
acted or received cOurtesies not his due,
throw light upon other features of the ques-
ton. The Pasha has evidently been received
with cautious but significant diplomacy,
and, on his own part, has not failed to make
good such chances of virtual recognition by
the Great Powers as would seem to fall in the
way of man shTewd and bold enough to seek
them.
After the letter of the Sultan, the most strik-
ing event in the Turkish situation is the APP

We observe that a resolution was offered
yesterday in the Board of Health to examine
the tenement-hOuses of this city and Brook
Ign, with view to the more effective enforce
ment of the rules adopted by the Board. We
hope that such an examination will be made,
and that by this time next year we may have
some comprehensive statistics of the degree
of crowding and the rate of mortality which
prevail in this class of dwellings, With all
due respect for the Board, and with full ac-
acknowledgement of the invaluable services they
have already rendered, we must say that the
statistics of tenement-hOuse mortality in their
recently published Report are of tho vaguest
and most unsatisfactory character. By a rough
calculation we can ascertain from their figures
that, on an average, six persons die in each
tenement-hOuse to one who dies in q single
family dwelling; but if the tenements contain
six times as many inmates as the single family
dwellings shanties, &C.. we do not see but
that in sanitary point Of view, one house is
as good as the other, the tenement perhaps

We hear a great deal of the evils which will

what u San Francisco correspondent of The

brought to California for the purpose of pros

"Anglo-Saxons in Hong Kong, and consum-

So long rs rascalties of this kind, for the sake

be transferred to Chinese shoulders. As we are

To the projects of ship canals by Darien
Nicaragua, COrinth, the Rhone and Mediter-
ranean, Paris and Dieppe, and now that of
Schleswig HOlstein, the proposed Duke of Suez
adds the enormous scheme of converting the
ocean of Sahara sands into q real sea by means
of a canal. The desert is about thirty feet be-
low the Red Sea at its nearest point, and canal
seyenty-fve miles long would effectually put the
sea to bed in Sahara. The old Roman caution
never to be surprised recurs daily in this age of
labOriOus wonder; but the new project credited
to NJ. de Lesseps may safely keep for term.
More feasible is the plan mapped out by the
Government of Prussia to unite the Baltic with
the North Sea by ship canal through Schles-
wig olstein--a scheme full of meaning and
suggestion. Prussia, in opening the new and
remarkable naval port of Wilhelmshaven, has
substantially expressed her aspiration to be-
come one of the naval powers of the world.
The new canal will give that aspiration mari
time and commercial strength.

Friday night, by saying: 81 desire to say at

"keep as silent as possible, in order that
"may be heard" Perhaps the unfortunate
Carlisle was in the situation of Macbeth when
"Amen' stuck in his throat" But his sit
uation that evening is a warning to Demo
"crats" all, both great and small, to keep
their Threats in good order, the one for argu-
mentation and the other for promiscuOus bawl-
ing. The Democratic" party for some time
has been little better than ga wandering

vocal organs if it would not lapse into fixed
and eternal silence. 1t has been loud

dent husbandry of its enunciatiOn.

Congress never refused q subsidy to Gen.
FremOnt's Southern Pacific Railroad, for he

on a conviction that the road could be built
,cithout subsidy, and his effort to prove it
commanded our earnest and active sympathy.

gent
Nor is it true that Congress refused Gen.

House granted that right, promptly, heartily,
and by an overwhelming majority. The bill
thus passed went to the Senate, where 1t would
have been likewise passed, but the Chairman
of the Pacific Railroad Committee got 1t referred
TO his Committee and there held it, in spite OF
all cntreates and remOnstrances, in defiance OF
Justice and fairness, thus denying to the Senate
an opportunity to pass on the BILL we can
imagine no reason for this course that would
be credtable to its author.
Most certainly, if any one has represented
that the Government has guaranteed the bonds
of this company, he has said what was not true !
bnt we trust The Times needs no assurance that
Gen. Fremont never made or authorized any
such representation. If it was ever made, 1t
was before his arrival at Paris, aud was pro-
badly the result of misapprehension.
Mr.. Washburne, our Minister at Paris, was
never n friend of Gen. Fremont; but, as he is
perfectly familiar with what did transpire III
Congress, we cannot believe that he ever gave
the matter the complexion which 1t wears In
the version of The Times.
