LONDON, July 26.-The Times in leading
article says: Neither as sovereign suzerain,
nor under any other title; will there be room
| for the influence of the sultan in Egypt after
| the responsibilities of the sovereign have
been cynieally thrown aside In the hour OF
trial. The sultan may have amused himself
| by forming new alliances and complimenting
his allies with decorations, but it remains TO
be seen what help these sympathizers can or
will give the porte. England by acting alone
will acquire and assert her right OF controll-
Ing in the future the country she saved.
Those who object to that prospect have even
at the eleventh hour an opportunity OF sharing
| the labor and obtaining voice in the deter
mination OF events ,bnt If England Is left to act
alone, the formal engagements she took when
| the situation was wholly different
will be abrogated. We must plainly
show the sultan anc to the powers
that we intend to work thoroughly and retain
what is done.
Gladstone and his colleagues must yield to
| the compulsion OF events Our commanding
naval force and well organized army will In
sure the establishment In Egypt OF strong
government under English protection IL the
ministry do not hesitate In entering upon The
path which lies straight before them.
