Important news has reached Alexan-
dria, in Egypt, from Port Said, ON the
SueZ Canal, under date of March 81. 1t
Is nothing less than corrOborative evil
dence of the Biblical account OF the ex-
odus OF the Jews from Egypt, and Of the
death by drowning of King Pharaoh while
pursuing them. A hungarian traveller,
a great Psychologist and Archaeological,
has for some time been making investl-
cations on the shores Of the Red Sea, dig
ging inlo mounds and hills for hidden
monuments, and his Iabors have been
rewarded by the discovery OF a coies-
sal monumental stone, covered all over
with ancient hieroglyphic signs.
Over four hundred geographical
names haye already been deciphered,
designating as many provinces under
the way OF Egypt, situated In Arabia.
Nubia and along the Mediterranean.
Part of the inscription has further been
translated as indicating that the monu-
ment was erected i'll honor OF the memory
of King Pharaoh Thothmes Ill, who is
represented as having been drowned
near the spot while in pursuit to recap
ture many thousands Of escaped slaves.
1t is known in Egyptian history that
Thothmes III was one OF the Pharaoh
dynasty and ruled about the year 149D
before the Christian era, and is the King
Pharaoh referred to in the book of Exc
dus, and the exhumation Of this remark
able monument, erected probably 1856
years ago, ii the inscription be correctly
translated, seems to confirm the account
given in that book.

BROOKLYN, April 3d. But little was

parties in this suit. l knew Mr.. Tilton
Tor TWO years, and saw him at Plymouth
Church; saw Tilton dt the Communist
procession in New York, in a carriage
with Miss Clatlin. Mrs. Woodruff was
in front OF the procession at Thirty
fourth street and Sixth avenue.
Cross-eXamined-Ihi was an open
carriage, and do not remember whether
there were more than two persons in it.
They were sitting on the back seat. The
procession was moving down Thirty
Fourth street and Sixth avenue, and /
stood on the sidewalk until it passed.
The lady with Tilton was pointed out to
me as Miss Clatlln. There was lady on
loot in front Ut the procession who was
pointed out to me as Mrs. Woodruff.
There was gentlemen alongside Of her,
and she carried red flag.

OF his proiuse and corrupt expenditure
of msney In the Southern States under a
pretense. Of carrying out the Enforce
ment laws.
Delano's expected resignation will be
voluntary only in the same deceptive
sense as that OF Attorney General Will
liams. These designations are really
removals, disguised, because it would
be as damaging to the President to have
to remove officials as to have them ap.
pear in their true character. One rea.
son for removing them is, that the Re-
publicans of Ohio feel that there is nc
possibility Of carrying the State at the
approaching election with Williams and
Delano in the Cabinet, the latter being d
citizen of that State, and unless the Re
pubiicans recover Ohio this year they
have no chance Of carrying the Presi
