that the proposal IS only maKesniit 10
tide over until he can secure the cooper
alton of the Ulemas in inaugurating holy
war. The Ulemas sympathise with Arabi
in his anti-foreign policy, but hesitate to
proclaim holy war because OF the unde-
cided attitude of the Porte toward Arab.
The Sultan Behind the Proposal.
A Constantinople dispatch says it is ru.
mored that the Porte has counselled Arab |
to make Temporary terms, and that the
cept them. It Is supposed that the Porte |
fears to actually send troops to Egypt, for |
fear the Ulemas may turn against the Sui |
tan, and support Arab in proclaiming
holy war, whichtwould result in the dis |
ruption of the Sultan's authority over |
Moslems, the permanent occupation of |
Egypt by England, and the eventual ele- |
walton Of Arab as areligious leader.
Arab Classed With tho Prophet.
Arabi's offer to go to mona stery provid- |
ing England withdraws, is interpreted |
among the Moslems as an offer OF a patriot, |
who is willing to sacrifice himself rather |
than fight Moslem soldiers, which the Sui |
tan threatened TO send to Egypt, aad to |
have the land saved from occupation by |
Christians, and Arab is now looked upon |
as martyr to the Moslem cause and more |
popular than ever. People now associate |
him with El-Mehdi.

LONDON, July 2s.-The Times, comment
ing on the address OF the Canadian Parlia-
ment to the Queen, in favor OF home rule
for Ireland, says: The respectful phrases
in which the address is couched cannot
blind anyone to the fact that il amounts TO
O vote of censure on the government and
announcement to its avowed enemies.
We are at q loss to determine,
under the circumstances, whether the ad
dress is simply dodge to catch the Irish
vote, and ought to be regarded as an aggra-
vation, or an excuse for the offence. fa
more charitable view be taken, it csn-
demns the Canadian Parliament as guilty
of a leyity of thought which must seriously
detract from the value Of any opinion it
may form.
