Arab officers were promoted 10 the
same grade The three continued their
intrigues until they had won nearly
the whole army to their views and had
by succession of steps developed a
scheme for The naturalization of Egypt
and its emancipation from foreign die
tation. By insurrectionary demonstra-
tions the Khedive was coerced into
dismissing the Ministers Objectionable
to Arab and appointing a new set; in
disregard of the protests of the Anglo
Freoch representatives. A constitu-
ton was granted by the Khedve, one
feature of which was the complete co.,
troll of Egyptian finances by the native
Legislature. Although pledges were
volunteered that the rights of the bond
holders would be religiously respected,
it was well understood that the foreign
claims would be regarded last in the
distribution of the revenues, instead of
first, as at preg ent. 1t was at this
point that the glo-French alliance

permit the programme to be carried

Bey must go, aod affairs be restored
to their old position.
But how was this to be done? The
Khedive was now ruler only in name.
Arabi Bey, with the army at his back,
was dictator. The allies could not de-
eide upon any decisive step because
their interests, aside from the Egyp-
tion bonds, were not alike. England
wished to invoke the power of Turkey,
but France, fearing the effect of such
invocation In Algeria and Tunis, OBJ
jected. The Sultan in the meantime
intrigued with both the Khedive and
Arab Bey for his own advantage.

GERMAN CARP.
Austin n Favorable Point for
Breeding.

Col. Marshall Mcdonald, United State.
tish commissioner, has been in the city
for several days and left yesterday fol
San Antonio. While here he was shown
over the city by State Fish Commissioner
Robertson, and was pretty fsvorably i'm
pressed with Austin as a locality for
breeding the celebrated German carp.
He mentioned two localities in particular
which he thought most excellently
adapted 10 the purpose, one being
the lower or west end of
the capitol park enclosure, and the
other vacant square Immediately south
of the old Central railroad depot.
Mr. Robertson informs the STATESMAN
that he will begin work in about ten
days, and that the matter of building
breeding ponds will be rapidly pursued
II is the intention to have a breeding
place here in the state, at the capital, IN
order that fish for Texas can be had
without the trouble of routine Incl
dent 10 procuring them from Washington
The fish commissioner says that with
thirty breeding fish, which he can pro-
cure at Washington, by next November
he can have fifteen or twenty thousand
young fish.
In this connection we are requested to
announce that applicants TO the United
States fish commission for carp who are
to be supplied through Col. A. p.
Blocker will get them by calling at Men
roe MilleT's eclipse stables today The
fish have been in Austin several days
and cannot he kept here much longer.

that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was
just the article needed, procured q supply
for the child. On reaching home and ac-
quaintinS his wife with what he had
done, she refused to have it administered
to the child, as she was strongly in favor
of homeopathy. That night the child
passed III suffering, and the parents with
out sleep. Returning home the day fol-
lowing, the father found the baby still
worse and while contemplating another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room to attend to some domestic du-
ties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered a
portion of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept well, and the little fellow
awoke in the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the sud-
den and wonderful change, and although
at first offended at the deception practiced

warning in time; your system needs
Iron, which, when combined with pro-
per vegetable extracts, produces u tonic

Browns Iron Bitters. Buy it of your
druggist and do not be persuaded to take
substitute, for this Is the only remedy
which gives permanent strength. 1t con-
tains no alcohol. nor does It blacken the

he claims to have been received
from the American people, APP

from the prayers of a number of

"These experts" said the speaker
"don't swear TO this for none but
the inscrutable deity can know what

swear only to an opinion. and you
have a notable case how far from
