The Khedive Refuses to Abdicate.

The hH5uIV0 N5IttS0S 10 AUUICdI6'
NEW YORK, June ga dispatch to. the
Evening Telegram says the British and French
consuls had an interview with the khedive at
2 o'clock this morning, in his bedchamber.
When the question of his resignation was
broached the Khedive fell into a towering pas
sion and declared before he would abdicate he
would resort to arms, and absolutely refused
to listen to any suggestion concerning Hahn
Pasha as his successor Meanwhile military
preparations are making and complications are
hourly expected. A report of the Khedive's
departure for ConstantinOple to hand his abdi-
cation to the Sultan is therefore premature.
LATER.
Tewfik Pasha was proclaimed Viceroy of
Egypt yesterday with salute of 101 guns.

MAINE REPUBLICANS.
LARGEST CONVENTION EVER
ASSEMBLED IN MAINE.
Daniel F. Davis the Next Governor.
Striking Remarks by Senator Blaine,
Messrs. Pike Hale and Davis.
[special Despatch to the Press. ]


BANGOR, June 26.-Norombega Hall held to-
day the largest convention ever in Maine. All
sections of the State were Representatives,
q town neglected to send delegates. The city
was full last night; the hotels were overfill ed
and private houses were thrown open to
receive visitors. The trains and boats this
morning brought hundreds more, and at the
time of assembling the hall would not contain
the delegates.
Sharply at eleven o'clock the convention
met and on motion by Mr. Wing of Androscog-
gin the Hon. f. A. Pike of Calais was chosen
chairman. The nomination was received
with loud applause and Mr.. Pike responded.
His speech will be found in the report of the
convention.
After completing the permanent organiza-
ton the Convention adjourned to two o'clock
in the afternoon.
AT the re-assemblage it became evident that
the men mentioned in connection with the
nomination would withdraw or run behind.
At the first mention of Mr.. Davis the man
who carried the knapsack, the delegates broke
loose and went fer him with rush. After
the first ballot the Convention was his and he
steadily gained until Cumberland withdrew
its candidate and gave him the nomination.
The speech of the day was made by Senator
Blaine, and at his appearance on the platform
the Convention went to cheering, and it was
some minutes before he could be heard.
Daniel f. Davis, the nominee for Governor,
is tllirty-fve years old. He was born in Free
dom, and was educated at Kent's Hill. In
1868 he enlisted in the District of Columbia
cavalry and soon after joined the First Maine,
serving there until the end of the war. After
the war he studied law with Lewis Barker,
and was elected to the House in 1874 and to
the Senate in 1873 He was a private all
through the war; has made no claims and has
asked for no offices since.
