II Is apparent now that England I'm her diplo-
matte representations from Constantinople estab-
hshed too close a connection between the mere
drafting OF proclamation against Arab Pasha
and Its official and effective PRONUNCIATION. The
proclamation il still unsigned, and Turkey an
nounces that She has invited Arab TO lay down
MS arms, and 1t viii be time enough to fire the
proclamation at him when he shall refuse this in
vitation. In other words, the Sultan prefers to
use TUFTS Oh grass first, and IL he viii not come
Down FOR that then st0nrs will be resorted to- after
the manner OF the g0O1-natured farmer in bring
ing the boy down from his apple tree 1t is hardly
probable that the daring and defiant Arab will
De lnt!ini lated by this mild policy He VIII, most
likely, reply 10 the Invitation In respectful terms
and take occasion to repeat his declaration OF ale
glance 10 the Sultan and defend his position as one
protective or the interests OF Egypt and Turkey.
This exchange of correspondence causes DELAY
which perhaps, after ALL is the Interior purpose OF
Turkey. Meantime another obstacle to the OIL
cial Issuance d the proclamation has arisen In re-
iation to tde disposition OF Turkish troops when
they shall have reached Egypt England wants
them sUbOTdinat@d to the British and naturally
enough Turkey objects to this arrangement The
Arabs are none too loyal ~ Turkish rule and If
Arab Pasha, with the ins,urnce he has obtained
over them, is driven to The alternative OF accept
ing disgrace with surrender or lighting for better
terms, even against the Turkish troops, he may
choose the latter course. Turkey cannot afford to
follow Eng .;Sh dictation bin lily I'm dealing with
Arab. for that dictaton is prompted by English
interest and prejudice.
The English wheat crop is again partial failure,
the most favorable estimate being that it Will
fall considerably below an average yield. One
correspondent OF London paper, after having
Travelled through the wheat growing counties and
personally examined the fields, reports that the
straw Will be the best part OF the crop. The yield
or barley Will fall short of that OF last year. The
EagiiSh eat crop. however, is extra fine In both
quantity and quality, AMI VIII exceed any yield
for the last seven years. and hay is plentiful. The
London Tines in commenting upon the ShortneSS
OF the wheat crop cOagratulates the country upon
the fact TINT Notwithstanding this there is no
danger Of starvation or OF any general suffering
from hunger. 1t says Engllnd can get plenty of
wheat from elsewhere in the world and its i'm
ported wheat does not cost the consuuler any more
than the domestic article; but 1t adds. referring
10 the short crop, cur home trade is crippled.
The money which ought 10 be in the POCKETS Of
The English farm T IS transferred to the American
farmer" The yield In this country Is abundant to
supply the English demand, and at lower prices
than II the English had TO depend upon their own
product The southern states have this year
added largely to the area of wheat usually sown,
and as t has hitherto been the custom of that
section TO buy its wheat their home supply will
cut Oh large domestic demand, thus leaving
more for export
