Arab Pasha to leave them to man.
age their own affairs. The highest
military authorities thought the three
months vote which was the Iime for
the sum now asked for, would be suffi-
cient. Sir Wilfred Lawson violently
condemned the vote. The secretary of
state for India said that num-

READING THE SULTAN OUT.
LONDON, July 2S.-The Times in a
leading article says: Neither as SOW
ereign suzerain nor under any other
title will there be room for the intlu-
ence of the Sultan in Egypt. After
the responsibility and sovereignty has
been cynically thrown aside in
the hour of trial, the sultan may have

ances and complimenting his new al
lies with decorations, but it will be
seen what help these can give the
Porte. England by acting alone will

alone in the formal engagements she
took when the situation was wholly
different, we must show the sultan and
the powers that we intend to work

When that is done, Gladstone and his
colleagues must yield to teese compul-

The Pail Mall Gazette says; There is
no excuse for charging one penny of
the expense of the Egyptian expedi-
ton as expenses of India, except tenn

enough to yield to the temptation, it
will break it up. All its members can't

gaet application of Indian taxes.
