market. Manufacturers are, however, very

market renders them increasingly difficult to
deal with. Advices from China show improve

Egypt and Abyssinia.
CAIRO, Jan. 5.-At his interview with the
Khedive of Egypt, mentioned on the Sd inst,
Gordon PaSha said that the King of AbySSinia
hated and was hated by all who came in con-
tact with him. Abyssinia he said, was sur
rounded on all sides by discontented tribes and
rulers To the eastward King Menelek, of Shoa,
was sullenly opposing King John, but was
afraid to show overt hostility. To the south
ROSadall was in almost open rebellion, and in
other quarters six for more chiefs were in actual
revolt. Placed in this position, AbySSinia could
not attack Egypt. If the Khedive would sup
ply the malcontent tribes with arms the second
son of the late King Theodore would soon be
placed in his fathers throne. King John now
regretted his eXorbitant demands Gordon
FaSha stated that he should soon quit Egypt for
good, and declared that it would be advanta-
geouS for the country that a ruler really inter-
eSted in its welfare should directly control
affairs himself
