The Egxptian Muddle.

ALEXANDRIA, June 25.-The Khedive has
written Ragheb Pasha, President of the
Counsel, recapitulating the recent event in
Egypt, which the Khedive describes as de-
plorable. He points out notwithstanding
his assurance, that foreigners contriye to
abandon Egypt, that commercial affairs are
at standstill that specie is being hastily
withdrawn, that there is complete absence
of credit and that enormous loss is thus
caused to the country. He declares strict,
searching inquiry must be had,
and he commands Ragheb Pasha
to earnestly consider the best means of find
ing out the causes leading to the catastrophe
in Alexandria, which, he says, might have
been avoided by timely measures. He
urges Ragheb Pasha to discover the names
of the promoters of the riot and accom-
plices, with view to their severe punish
ment The Khedive says it is absolutely
necessary that measures shall be taken tor
the re-establishment of friendly relations
between the natives and Europeans for the
maintenance of order and for the resump-
ton of business, on which the prosperity OF
the country depends.

Curtis Reply to Hubbell.

NEW YORK, June 25.-George William
Curtis, in reply to the recent letter OF Jay
A. Hubbell, Chairman and Treasurer of the
Republican Congressional Committee, says:
Undoubtedly there are legitimate political
expenses for every party, and in free
country every body should be at liberty to
aid or refuse to aid his party, but public
employees of the Government are usually
selected in way which practically de-
prives them OF the liberty of Civ
ing or Withholding such aid at
their pleasure. If a man knows he holds
his place by personal favor, he will natur-
ally propitiate that favor in order to retain
his place. 1t was the knowledge that the
liberty of the officeholder in this matter is
thus impaired which led Congress to pass
the act of protection to which our circular
refers. That set recognizes as universal, and
experience and reason of case show, that
"a Government employe whose family de-
pends upon his wages, is not deluded by the
phrase voluntary contribution, and fears

Wrecked and Seven Persons Killed.
ST. PAUL, June 24.-An accident is re-
Minn., of a most serious character. The
worktrain, consisting of the engine, caboose
and twenty-five ordinary fiat cars, such as
are used for hauling gravel, running eigh-
teen miles an hour, less than is allowed
working trains, was backing toward the
gravel pit, at Atwater, for new load,
Without any cause the engine and tender
caboose and five fiat cars jumped the track
and, turning on the embankment twelve
feet high, tumbled into ten-foot pool OF
water, when an indescribabie scene of con-
fusion ensued
The following are the casualties so far as
is known, alth ough great difficulty was ex.
perienced in securing names, the workmen
being SHedes and Norwegians:

MR.. CHAS. h. REED,

GUITEAU LAST LAWYER.
By the sale OF photographs and autographs
Guiteau accumulated couple of thousands
of dollars, more money than he ever had
before, and this enabled him to retain a
lawyer of his choice. Mr.. Reed enjoys a
reputation for astuteness as a criminal law
yer, but his selection to argue the finer
points of law involved in the case before
the Court in banc, and before Justice Brad
ley, must be regarded as another mistake on
the part of the assassin. Mr.. Reed is a resi-
dent of Chicago where he was elected to the
Office of Prosecuting Attorney, and where
he is deservedlv held in high esteem.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The Star pub
fishes the following: "Rev. Dr. Hicks, of
the Tabernacle, prefaced his sermon by ask
ing the prayers of his congregation for Chas
J. Guiteau, who will. as believe be hanged
next Friday. Pray that his mind may be
spiritually and truly illuminated. that God
may have mercy upon him. The Doctor
added that he desired here and now TO enter
his solemn and earnest protest against the
blood-thirsty, vindicitive, ,fendish spirit that
seems to have taken possession of so large
portion of the people of the country. He
denounced this almost national clamor for
Guiteau's blood as being not only unchris-
tian but hesthenish and inhuman. 1t is
murder under the cover and protection of
the law.
Guiteau's death warrant was signed by
Clerk Meigs, of the Criminal Court, this
morning, the seal of the Court attached, and
the document forwared to Warden Crocker
at the District Jail.

A Delegation Waits Upon the President
Urging Him to Grant a Respite.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Miss Chevalller,
of Boston, Secretary of the National Society
for the Protection of the Insane, accom-
panied by DR.. George NJ. Beard, of New
York; DR.. w. w. Gottling, Superintendent
of the Government Hospital for the Insane,
and Rev. w. w. Hicks, pastor of the Taber-
nacle, and who is now acting as Guiteau's
spiritual adviser, had an interview with the
President this afternoon by special appoint
ment, and presented petition praying for
reprieve in the case of Guiteau, and for
the creation of a scientific commission TO
determine upon the sanity or insanity OF
the condemned man. The petition is
signed by a number of medical experts,
who state their conviction that Guiteau is
insane, and urge the propriety of such COM
mission. The Committee are now, al
ID. M, with the President, who was not
able to receive them until a few minutes
before 2. They waited in the Presidents
library from about noon.
Drs. Beard end Golding advanced argu-
ments in support of the petition. One of
the points made by DR.. Beard was that Gui-
teau really had no trial, the so-called trial
being merely an exhibition. He said it was
Court, and was lost only through the in
competency of Seovill, which was as phe-
nOmenal as the insanity of his client The
President listened patiently, and taking the
papers said they would be considered. They
will be referred to the Attorney General for
report. All other papers previously received
bearing on this case have been similarly re-
ferred.

proceedings Of the convention seem to
have been earnest and enthusiastic, and
the ticket is unquestionably a very good
one. So far as we have any knowledge
of the candidates they are men of abil-

nominee for Governor, State Senator
Stewart, is very able man and is re-
garded as the leader Of the party in the
body OF which he is member. The
convention was eminently consistent in
its opposition to bossism by the refusal
to endorse the nomination of Rawle.

otherwise would have been an act of

THE views of so prominent and self
possessed an actor in Irish affairs as
Michael Davitt possess special interest
at this time, when the new Irish Coer-
ciOn bill is rapidly approaching its final
passage through the British Parliament.
Addressing a meeting of Irishmen at
Manchester, England, on last Saturday
evening, Mr.. Davitt said that no person
lamented the recent murders in Dublin
more than he did, and nobody was more
ready to prevent such crimes. He de-
clared that without the presence in Ire
land of the police and military the pro-
perty of Irish landlords would not be
worth months purchase, and said en-
phat;cally that there could be no alliance
between Irishmen and English Wings
until landlordism was completely abol-
ished. The government could not grap-
pie effectually with a secret movement
when it. was made TO appear that the
movement was only for the protection
OF wrOnged and GOwn-tTO0den people.
In concluding his address he declared
that if Mr.. Gladstone was earnest in his
efforts to suppress crime in Ireland he
must go to the source of all aorarian
outrage and remove landl Ordism. sweep
away Dublin Castle. and show TO the
world that he could repOse the same
confidence in Ireland as he does in Can
ada
