1ErrER FROM THE KHEpIvE.


ALEXANDRIA, June 26.-The khedive has
written to Rahbeg Pasha, president of the
council, recapitulating the recent events in
Egypt, which the khedive describes as de-
plorable. He points out that, notwithstand-
ing his assurances, foreigners continue to
abandon Egypt; that commercial affairs are
at a stand-still; that specie Is being hastily
Withdrawn; that there is a complete absence
of credit, and that enormous loss Is thus
caused to the country. He declares that q
strict, searching inquiry must be had, and
he commands Rah6eg Pasha to earnestly
consider the best means OF finding out the
causes that led to the catastrophe in Alex
sndria, which. he says, might have been
avoided by timely measures. He urges
Arab Pasha TO discover the names Of the
promoters of the riot and accomplices, with
view to their severe punishment. The
khedive says it is absolutely necessary that
measures be taken for the re establishment
of friendly relations between the natives and
Europeans for the maintenance of order and
for the resumption of business, on which the
prosperity of the country depends.

seps contradieting the report that the Suez
canal Is in danger.

The Governor of New Jersey warns the
strikers Against RtOtIng.

JERSEY CITY, June Ex-Governor Lud-
low to-day issued a prcclsmation, warning
people against rioting and calling out the
militia. Chancellor Runyon o-day issued
an order warning all persons from interior
ing with the management or doing injury to
the property of the Central railroad in New
Jersey. During the afternoon delegation
of 200 strikers attempted to visit the Erie
yards and induce the men to join the strike.
They were ordered away by the police. An
effort to prevent a freight tram leaving
Jersey City was also frustrated. 1t is re-
ported that the coal-heavers at the Morris
Canal Company have struck for increased
wages.
The switchmen in the yards of four COM
panies demand restoration of the ten per
cent. taken from their wages some years ago.
The switchmen propose also to do no work
until the freight-handlers have gained their
point. They held a meeting to-day. A
humber of speeches were made calling upon
switchmen to be firm, as they were practically
masters of the situation. One speaker said
the switchmen were the keystone of the
strike, and without them the whole structure
of the strike would fall to the ground. All
the men on the Weehawken branch of the
New York, Lake Erie and Western railroad
have quit work. This will make necessary
the shutting down of the large oil re6neries
at WeehaWkeD.

MEMPHIS TO SELMA.
The Road So Long Projected at Last
Under Contract and 20 BE Fin
tshed by Fall.

The following telegram was received by
Major ]. J. Busby yesterday:
NEW YORK, June 25, 1882.
J. J. Busby, Vice President:
The contract for the construction of the
Memphis, Selma and Brunswick railroad is
awarded TO Green, Hamilton & Co. Work
will commence about July 10th. Will write
more fully. FRED WOLFE,
President
Major Busby informed our reporter that
Mr.. Green, of the firm mentioned in the dis
patch, was in the city, and had promised that
by the 1st of July his firm, which are the
lessees of the Mississippi penitentiary,
would put $50 convicts to work on
the road, beginning at Holly Springs, and
about the same time a large number of Ia
borers under the management of Mr.. Thomas
Dufip, an attache of that firm and WELL
known railroad contractor of this city, who
is now at work on a section of rosd
from Natchez 10 Jackson, Miss will begin
work at this end of the Selma road.
Major Busby further says that Mr.. Wolfe
has promised to place construction trains on
both ends of the road, and informs him
(Busby) that he has now iron rail enough at
Chattanooga to complete the road. When
to the above it is added that Messrs. Green,
Hamilton & Co. stand at the head of the lisi
of enterprising and successful managers of
railroad contracts, the chances of an early
completion of the Memphis Selma and
Brunswick railroad must be evident to the
most skeptical.

dipped down here and there at points as
widely separated as cities 10 Nebraska and

southern Indiana. While the ravsges in Coma
have been the most serious to life and prop

the Territory are very heavy. Among the
casualties which have not been mentioned
the following may be given as indicating the
general character and violence Of the eie-
ments. At Osceola, Ia, yesterday, Adam
Miller and William Lowe were killed By
Lightning. A severe rain and wind-storm
visited Abba yesterday evening, with the ac-
compartment of terrific thunder and light
ming. Trees were snapped off like pipe
stems, and many pranks were played by the
wind, but no loss OF life resulted. The
storm appeared like cyclone.
