The War in Egypt and Its InAu'

N. o. States.

N. o. States.
A reporter of the States called on
Mr.. John Phelps, Tuesday afternoon,
to ascertain his views about the effect
of the war in Egypt, and the proba.
bilities of a war between Turkey and
England, will have upon the cotton
market of this country.
Mr.. Phelps said that the subject was
one that he had not heard generally
discussed. If the war in Egypt con-
tinues, it will help us out on long
staples, as in that event the Egyptians
will not be enabled to
RAISE A LARGE CROP
of cotton in their own country. Any
injury to the Suez canal will interfere
with the delivery Of the cotton crop OF
India, and that will also enhance the
value Of our cotton, but any ADJUST
ment ofthe trouble in Egypt will cause
our markets to remain as they are.
Another gentleman, who is well &C.
quainted with the cotton markets of
the world, was asked for his opinion,
and he answered:
Any influence that lessons the
cotton crop of Egypt will enhance the
value Of our staple.
THE COTTON CROP
of Egypt is equal, on an average, to
6j0,000 of our bales.
1t is possible. as a result of the war
in Egypt, that there will be corners in
New York and Liverpool on Septem.
bers and Octobers.
The low stocks and backward crops
here and in Europe have caused the
prices on early months to increase,
and the prospects point to
STILL HIGHER PRICES.
As a consequence, the consumption
Of the staple has been checked. The
present prices are excessive.
I There is a prospect of serious di.
minution OF the Egyptian staple and
the result will be that all staple quail
tiles will enhance in value.

Island cotton in quality, and 1t is used

BUYING A VERDICT.
A Remarkable Charge From the
Bench in the Star Route Trial.
Allegations that Attempts Have Been
Made to Bribe the Jury.
Brady and Dorsey Caught In the
Atr0ciOus Act.

There was panic created among the
star route thieves on Friday, by the re-
marks of Judge Wylie on the subject OF
jury bribery. The attorney general
| concluded his speech at II O'Clock, and
Mr.. Wilson then occupied half an hour
IN reading prayers for the instruction
of the jury in behalf of the defense. 1t
then appearing that there were count
less other prayers to be presented, the
court ordered a half hours recess.
When most of the jurors had left the
room, and many of the spectators had
gone out, it suddenly occurred to his
honor, that there was something he
wanted to say, and he had order re-
esta blished and the jurors brought in
and their roll called. Being satisfied
that all Of them were present, he said
that several jurors had come to him
and told him they had been corruptlv
approached, and asked his advice.
Warming up with his theme, the Judge
said he did not tell them to shoot the
miscreants on the spot, but that was
the way he felt. Complaints of at
tempts to corrupt jurors had come to
him before, but during the past twenty
four hours these wolves and paid hire
llngs of the cOnspirators who were trv-
ing to devour the jurymen had greatly
increased.
After few scathing remarks about
men who would try to seduce a iurv-
man from his duty, thejudge dismissed
the jurors and ordered recess. During
the courts remarks every one craned
Als neck forward to catch every word.
and there was utter silence followed, as
soon as the judge concluded, by buzz
OF surprised comment. Charges of
bribery have been afoat ever since the
jury was lmpaneled, and early in the
trial thejudge took occasion to defend
the jurors from aspersions cast on one
or two of their number-the talesman
VINO were drawn after the regular % an
el was exhausted. Last month Fore
man Dickson reported an attempt to
brlbe him, but for the most part the
talk about corrupting jurors has been
mere gossip, or has been part of the eff
fort OF lawyers to influence the Jurors.
CURRENT RItM0R
Is that one juryman has certified
check for $4,000 in his pocket, but if
such bribery has been committed the
parties to it would be shrewd enough
to keep it quiet. The judge and fore
man evidently do not believe such a
report. The judge said he did not
know In whose behalf the bribery was
attempted, but nobody suspects that
the government is corrupting Jurors.
The way the matter is treated in the
defendants newspaper shows that the
latter regard the charge as brought
against them.

Wives Should Strike.

Mile. Louis Michel is now on the
ar-path, and this time she has been
enllvenlng Paris on the subject of
woman's rights. She begins first of all
by proving conclusively the superiority
of women to men. "The proof of a
woman's superiority is", she says, chat
a woman always does what she makes
up her mind to-" This was founded
on the proverb: "Ce que femme veut
Dleu lie veut." There Is nothing like q
good proverb on any given subject, as
no one will take the trouble to prove
you are wrong, especially when it suits
yonr audiende to believe it, and so the
great 'Citoyenne's" first proposition
was undisputed. The only way of assert.
ing such superiority, she said, was
strike. If all wives and daughters would
only strike against their husbands,
fathers, brothers, &C.. for week, the
whole thing would be settled. She had
a few other "petroleuses" she said, had
determined to free the women of
France. 1t is quite evident that Mile.
Michel has never read the fable of
Menenius Agrippa, and that her Roman
history and her sociology went publish
ing up. Cutting off your nose to spite
your face, as Agrippa told the discon-
tented Romans, is no remedy, and
though Mile. Michel may think other
wise, and disbelieve in fables, yet some-
times they are of use even to social re-
formers.-PaH Mall Gazette.

aRdria which at the time escaped the
correspondents continue to come tc
hand. One of the most interesting ot
these is in the shape of a writer
message from the ambitious Arab tc
his 'dear friend General Grant and to
all Americans" Captain II. c.
Cochrane, United States marine CORDS
who is one of Admiral Nicholson {
staff on the Lancaster, is the possesso1
of an.autograph album which has be-
come very valuable by reason of the
many distinguished nam es it contains.
Wishing to have Arabi's sign manual
added as souvenir of the occasion
the book was sent to the rebel chief
tain with a card and polite note.
Captain COchrane went to the arsenal
IN person on the morning of the day
before the firing began, escorted by Gen.
Stone. Although it was rather early
Arab was at his post,and his Office was
surrounded by an anxious crowd of
his Gnsky satellites of all grades, who
seemed so dazed by the impending
danger and the hustle OF the warlike
preparations gong on that they hung
around their leader like frightened
children. When the belligerent Pasha,
who has always been friendly to Amer
leans, heard of Captain Cochrane's
presence he expressed a desire to see
him, and exhibited much cordialitv
when General Stone introduced him.
After some conversation, in which he
said that it had given him great pleas
ure to write in the book, and that he
had done more than merely write his
name; he sent his secretary for it, and
then proceeded to read aloud what he
had written, calling upon General
Stone to translate it as he went along,
which the general very kindly did. The
following Is the exact rendering of the
message:
