TIE FUTURE OF EGYPT
Concerning the settlement to be adopted the pub
bc Tins far are in absolute Ignorance. No Capihet
Minister has opened his mouth. An attempt TO eA-
tract speech from Mr. Gladstone tbis week failed
The press generally takes definite line. Ihe re-
neated efforts of The Times to commit the country
to a noliev of annexation have evoked feeble re-
sponse. and they have been abandoned for the pres
ent. Ths absence from London of every Minister
and nearly every public closes most of the ave-
nues through which the London journalists usually
geek knowledge of coming events. Continental
critics are completely puzzled and argue at cross
purposes VITA each other. They are roouoed TO at

little evidence of a general desire for annexation.
Even the Tories admit the difficulty MI Glad

The one thing certain which appears is that the

The most astonishing incident in the whole
Eeyptian business thus far the assent of the Min

head of tho new gendarnerie. The provincial pa

silent, perhaps from the absence # their editors

sole explanation is Bakers personal popularity IN
high quarters, where the Queen excepted, IL has al
ways been thought that Baker was too severely
punished.
THE END OF THE COERCION ACT
The expiration to-day of the Coercion Act EFFORTS
from some of the opponents of the Ministry the
avowal Of the substantial though not the complete
success of that act The Standard admits that Mr..
Forster broke up the Land League as an organized
and disciplined body The Times declares thatits real
fault was that it was not stringent enough. This l
believe represents the general English conviction.
The Crimes Act which takes the place of the Coer-
con Act is more severe. and is already proving more
efficient. Walsh's conviction of murder yesterday
makes the third verdict of guilty from an Irish
jury and spreads a salutaTy terror, the so be-
cause Walsh was convicted on circumstantial evil
dencc. But already the weak Liberals London
appeal for clenency. Judge LawsOnS Liberation of
Mr. Gray through pretence of i'll health is not
likely to have a good effect.
IRISH DIVISIONS
The split among the Irish agitatOrs seems to be
widening Mr. DiOn's friends agree that his re-
tenent is due to the rejection by Mr. Parnell of
NJ. Davitts crazy programme. The most pessi-
s,ic of the English journals admits that the Irish
outlook is unusually hopeful.
TIE SILLY SEASON IN LONDON.
The London press, as usual at this season, has re-
ra.aed the discussion of familiar social grievances.
II opens its columns to attacks on the water COM
panies. on the money y-enders, extOrtoD at
restaurants and hotels under the Guise of walters,
fees, aud TO debates whether the shops ought not to
close early, and how HammersmIth Bridge ought to
be rebuilt. Captain Shaw's suggestions for safety
IN the theatres once more get brief hearing,
though little has yot been done. There is hardly
theatre that Is not VIGOROUSLY dangerous.
TIE NEW LORD MAYOR.
Alderman knight, who was elected Lord Mayor
yesterday, is Liberal. This docs not mean that
Liberalism is gaining ascendancy III the city, where
Jingo Toryism prevails. The Aldermen succeed by
Seniority 10 the Lord -Mayoralty, but nobody could
be elected who is not pledged as Mr. Knight is, to
uphold city abuses and monopolies
THE JERSEY LILY AS ROsALIND.
Mrs Langtry's appearance as Rosahnd has given
dse to some controversy the great majority of the
critics. however, strongly condemning the mistaken
conception and the inadequate rendering of the
Character, and consider her deficient in tenderness
and devoid Of poetical OF imaginative qualities The
Tines said bluntly that she has no heart. Others
declared, This is not Shakespeare at all" This
