The Avenar M1itaire announces

THE CRISIS IN EGYPT
(Tines II September,

A lull has suddenly followed the
storm in Egypt, and has given
Europe the opportunity Of consider
ing the stu alton IL that country.
The whole history of the crisis has
been so obscure, the facts which have
appeared on the surface have
throughout been SO significant of
more behind, that the public judy
ment has been to a certain extent
perplexed, not, indeed, as to the
obj cts to be aimed at, but as to the
way in which they would be best
attained. Eastern politics are honey
combed with intrigue, end the key
to each new turn of affairs is only to
be seized by those who understand
the personal and the local interests
involved in it. Consequently, what
ever happens, a multitude Of explan-
atoms are always forthcoming, The
revolt Of the Colonies has been put
down to genuine military discomfort,
to. Sheriff Pasba, to the Porte, to the
ex-Khedive Ismail, to Nubar, to
England, to France. 1t has been
described as an attack upon Riaz,
m~stigated by a cabal of his ris ais, as
a move of the Sultan's to secure a
fresh footing in Egypt, as an attempt
of the late ruler to get himself re-
called, as a stroke of English policy
in the absence of the French Control
Ter, and as a stroke of French policy
in search as usual, for an extension
of influence. Of all these possible
explanations the last two are the only
ones which are positively untenable.
The origin of the instruction of last
week is p~roblematical enough to JUS
tify considerable suspicion Of the pre-
sent. settlement. There is a new
Prime Minister, who has taken Office
apparently under protest, and on a
certain understanding; but neither

not act Just as efficiently as g. mill
tary commission. The mandate OF
the two Western Governments, IT
gwen jointly and pressed with firm
ness by both parties, will have the
same weight with the khedive's
Government as the recommendations
of any special board. 1t is to the
interest Of Sheriff Pasha that it should
be respected. Politically speaking
he has a character to regain. When
the Control was first started he was
among the strongest of its oppo-
nents; and his relations with the
deposed Khedive have not been such
as to commend him greatly to
Ismaips succ essor. In the case OF
Oriental statesmen one does not look
for political consistency, and it
would be foolish to complain ut the
contradictions of Sherif's career. He
must only realize the fact that the
question that lies before him is not
one to be trlfed with that it admits
of only one solution and that if he
cannot solve it in the right way,
some one else must quickly be found
who can.
There is every reason Why the
policy of England and France in
Epvpt should at this moment be IN
entire agrt ement. The troubles
which are %thickcning upon France
in Tunis aud Algeria give her the
most powerful motive for securing
the tranquility of Egypt, and any
jealousy of French influence on the
Nile tina, we might feel may well be
GAINED by the spectacle of those
very troubles. The warnings with
which the unanimous voice Of Eng
fish opinion received the first advan-
ces of France in Tunis are now
probably recognized by the French
as being somewhat more disinterested
than they appeared at first. What
that light hearted nation imagined
was to be n mere military promenade
is turning out to be an undertaking
which it wilItake many months and a
hundred thousand men to accomplish.
AS the cost becomes moro and more
evident, the gains become and more
probe matical. The financial ring
who had so much to do with pushing
tie Government into the expedition
are discovering that the only profits
likely to be made will be those Of
the army contractors; and the reck-
less politicians who looked TO a
North African campaign to re-estab-
lish the military position of France
in Europe are finding that oil they
have re-estabIished is the old jea-
lousy of French aggression, which
has been dormant since 1870. The
news that each day brings both from
the Regency and from the disturbed
districts of Algeria shows that no
progress IS as yet heing made by
the French army. General Sata-
tier is, so far as can be gathered,
in a position of great difficulty at
Zaghonan ana the recent incident
of the two officers who were mobbed
in the city of Tunls is significant OF
the state of feeling IN the capital.
Affairs in the west are such as to
demand preparations on the largest
, 1881-10-08


European Governments most closely
concerned. Mr.. Malet is just arriv-
ing at Alexandria, fresh from his con-
~ferences with Lord Duferin and the
officials at Constantinople. The
French Controller has had an inter-
view with M. St. Hilaire, and the
German Consul is about to confer
with his chiefs at Berlin. Sherif
Pasha's letter to the Khedive, which
we publish yesterday, is only remark
able for The frankness with which it
recognizes the institution of the Con-
troll; so that it is not likely that the
new Government will offer any oppo-
sition to the foreign influences by
which, after all, the questions lately
raised will have to be decided.
Everything depends on the nature
of those influences, Assuming that
Germany continues in her policy of
practical Eon- intervention, the final
settlement Of the difficulty remains
in the hands Of England and France,
and it is of the greatest importance
that they should agree upon the
policy to be pursued.
With the so-caIIed Submission
Of the mutinous officers, the difficult
ties, which were Of great gravity,
have become for the moment much
lighter. There was a moment when
it seemed that force would have to
be met by force: ana as to the nature
of the force 10 be employed there
was between this country and France
what threatened to be an insuperable
difference of view. 10 ourselves it
appeared that the only force which
could be safely called in was that of
the Sultan but the tension which
Tunisian events have caused in the
relations between France and the
Porte made hat project seem mad
Missile in Paris. The difference
of opinion makes it all the more
necessary that the affair should be
settled once for all, now that the
opportunity presents itself. 1t is
absolutely essential that a mutiny Of
the Egyptian army shoul not occur
again. Circumstances have given to
Egypt an importance quite out of
proportion to its size or power; and
the general interest demands that the
country which keeps the gate of the
East should be permanently well
ordered and at peace. The existence
of the army as at present constituted
is a constant menac both to the
peace and the good government Of
Egypt. The thirteen thousand men
Of whom it consists are not an Impos-
ing total, Judged by the Continental
standard but they are too many
for the needs of the country.
Against a European invasion they
would be useless against maraud-
ing Arabs or Philippians they are far
more thar enough. Two-thirds Of
them ought to be sent back to
their farms and tlree-fourths of
their officers paid off and compelled
to retire. The question how this
resuli is to be brought about does
not present any great difficulty. In
France, indeed, the notion thai seems
to fnd most favour, and that is even
said to have been proposed by the

WASHINGTON, December l5--Mr. Collier

IN 1870, The prisoner was selling little

continued. but Guteau interrupted him
and wanted to know if he could identify
him as the man.

The witness continued and said
the prisoner remained ia Logansport

.Guiteau continually interiected with his
abusive comments, and finally shouted out:
You miserable whep, to come here and
make me out book agent was minis
ter OF the Gospel and sold my own produc-
! tions."
In few minutes he turned to Mr.. Scoyillc
and said;
"Oh cut the fool short, he is lying all
through. Don't waste time on him."
