THE EGYPTIAN TROUBLE.
Hostilities Begun.

LONDON, July 11-9 a. m.
Admiral Seymour telegraphs as follows:
"The ships opened fire at seven O. clock this
morning. The return fire from the forts was
weak and ineffective. An explosion in Fort
Marsa-elKanat had occurred by eight o'clock.
The ships engaged are the 1nflexible, Teme-
raire, Penelope, Superb, Sultan, Invincible,
Alexandria and Monarch"
ALEXANDRIA, July n-9:1O a. m.
The attack on the forts has now been kept
up two hours. Smoke hangs over the town
along the line of the shore batteries and
among the ships, and it is difficult to see what
damage has been done. 1t is certain, however,
that the enemy has suffered very heavily.
Fort Marsa-el-Kanat has been blown up
by fire from other batteries. The forts
are slackening their fire. The top of the
tower of Fort Pharos has been carried
away and many guns have been dismounted
on that and other forts. The flag of the Gene
va red cross is flying over the hospital in the
city. Dutch and Greek flags are hoisted over
their respective consulates. At the begin
ming of the bombardment immense excitement
was visible. Crowds of people were seen wind
ing their way toward the palace. The streets
are now deserted, people having fed or taken
refuge in cellars. There are no signs of sur
render SO far.
n:15 A. M.-The bombardment still contin-
ues. The forts are gradually being silenced.
The Ras-el-Tin Forts are suffering severely
from the heavy and disastrous fire of the ships
Alexandria, Superb and Temeraire.
1P.M.-The magazine at Fort Ada has blown
up. The magazine which was blown up was
located close to the vice-regal palace, outside
harbor.
1:30 P. M.-The fire of the fleet commands the
railway to Cairo. Up to noon four forts in all
were blown up. No casualties to the feet dis
cernible.

Control declared that its power was nullified.
Meanwhile the Ministry repudiated the au-
thority of the Khedive altogether, and also
severed their relations with the French and
English Control, whereupon the i-on-clads
were sent to Egypt and the Ministry was no
titled that Arabi Bey must be removed. He
refused to submit, the Ministry resigned, and
the Khedive removed Arab Bey from the
head of the army, but. under compuls;on, re-
instated him. Meanwhile, under advice of
the European Powers, Turkey sent Dervisch
Pasha as its representative to Egypt to settle
the complication, and England and France
asked for conference of the Powers at Con-
stantinople, which is still sitting, though Tur-
key refused to participate. Dervisch Pasha's
mission appears to be afailure, as the Khedive
is still without authority, and Arab Bey, hav-
ing formed another Cabinet with himself as
Minister of War again, is really the ruler of
Egypt, and has gone on fortifying Alexandria
and declaring his intention of forcibly resist
ing English Intervention. The long waiting
of the various parties, the fleet, the Egyptians,
Arab Bey, the Khedive, the Sultan, to see
what step the other would take, now appears
to have been broken, and a very short time
must now determine where each stands, for
the official order has been issued by the En-
glish Admiral that the bomha"dn nent will be-
gin at nine O'Clock this morning. England
opens the ball.-ChicdgO Tribune, July III.

The Pennsylvania Platform.

The late Pennsylvania State Demo
cratic Convention adopted the following
platform of principles:
The Dem cratic pa ty of Pennsylvania-
holding fast to the faith that all power not del
egated by the Constitution is reserved to the
States and thu peop'e: upholding the sanctity
of personal liberty. the security of private
property, and the right of local self-govern-
ment; demanding honesty and economy IN the
administration of the Government, and en-
forcement of all provisions of the COnstltu-
ton by the Legislature and Courts OF the Com.
monwealth; declaring against monopolies ana
in sym lathy with labor seeking its protection,
and in favor of the industrial interests OF
Pennsylvania, Mt this time do solemnly protest
against the evils wlich the policy and practices
of the Republican party and the inSolence OF
its long posse ssion of Office have thus brought
upon the country; therefore,
l. We do protest against what Is calico tne
"boss'' system. and also the piunderinG OF
officeholderS by assessments of money for po-
litical purposes. Public offices are the prop
honest capable aud faithful to the Constitu.
tion-qualification5 which jefferson declared
were requisites for Office.
2. We protest against the spois system. II
is a prostitution of the Off es of the people so
that they become mere perquisites of poll
ticans.
Federal, because it is dishonest and destruc-
tive of that public morality upon which are
founded the existence AMI perpetuity OF QUE
and the political party that aids it and abets it
with office deserves public condemnation.
l. We denounce the spoliation of the State
Treasury and immunity by pardon of those
convicted of crimes. whose acts were tagrant
subversons of official trusts and wrongs done
the people,
s. We believe the Republican party, as now
organized and controlled, is based on fraud,
force and corruption, and there can be no hope
of true reform except by force of the ballot
box, excluding it from place and power.
6. The Democratic party demands Legislative
and honest, just and true apportionment.
Z. Upon these declarations we invite the CO.
operation of all honest citizens who, with us,
desire the re-establiSbment of honest govern
ment.

LATER NEWS.

ALEXANDRIA, July livery few houses
are now on fire. Refugees from Cairo re-
port that holy war is being proclaimed,
and that the Europeans are being massa-
cred at Lantah, Manssuraeh, and Zagazia.
The Consul has been killed at the last NAM
ed place. The ironclads Minotaur, Sultan,
and Temeraire have arrived off Abourkir,
to prevent Arab Pasha entering the dikes.
A white flag was hoisted directly the ships
appeared. One of the two body guards of
the Khedive who rode out to kair ell
Dwar yesterday afternoon on a reconnoi-
sance, galloped off and joined Arab
Pasha. Several Arabs were killed for in
cendiarism. Three of the Khedive's grooms
were killed by the English guards at Ras
el-Tin Palace by mistake. Arab Pasha's
army is strongly posted. All the Bedouins
lately lowering around the city have dis
appeared. Arab Pasha has written in
reply to the Khedive's demands long
letter, which the Khedive declares
unsatisfactory. Arabi says he did
not intend to make war, but as the pow
ers are determined to force an attack, he
considers it better to fight at once. He
expresses willingness to come to AleXan-
dria if the Khedive will induce the Eng
lish fleet and troops to withdraw: If the
Khedive can not do this, Arab recon-
mends him to send Minister to his camp
| to discuss the situation.
| Ldter.-The Khedive has found an officer
willing to undertake to carry the decree
for Arab Pasha's dismissal to him.
TEN lives were lost in railway accident
on the Taltal. Railway, in Peru, South

Gil resolved to accept the invitation to pro-
tect the Suez Canal jointly with England.

| A BOAT containing DR.. Addison F. King

Lake Chautauqua, and both were drowned.
In the Senate on the 18th it was an
nouced that the conference committee on
the legislative, judicial and executive ap-
preparation bill was unable to agree and a
Fnew conference committee was appointed.
The internal revenue bill was taken up, and
in the course of the debate Mr.. Sherman
said the bill reduced taxes from $35, 900 COO
to $40, 100000, and it was best to take
it as it was and not embark upon q wide
sea of general discussion on the question
of taxation I'm the House Mr.. Robin
son renewed his war on the British Gov
lernment. A bill was passed providing for
a third grade of letter carrier, known as
auxiliaries, at 5000 year; also for substi-
tute letter carriers. Also providing that
promotion in the grades shall be made at
the end of years service. The Senate
bill was passed providing for the sale of the
site of the old POstoffice building on Mas
sau street, New York, with an amendment
increasing the minimum price from $500,
900 to 100000.

Not a Justifiable Practice.

1t would be no justification of such
practices, even if it were true that the
Democratic party in other days resorted
to the blackmailing methods now prac-
ticed by the Republicans, to take a
gigantic campaign fund from the Treas
ury, through the employees of the Gov
ernmenL. Nor is it pertinent to say
that, if in power, the Democrats would
now do the same thing. The fact is the
Democrats did not do it. The farther
truth is that on a very recent occasion,
when they had control of che House of
Representatives. the proposition to as
sess the employees of the House was
emphatically rejected, There is nothing
analogous in the history of Democratic
party management to the Standard
deliver exactions of the party now in
power. There is no good reason for
the collection of any such sums of money
as are now demanded. That is, there is
no reason consistent with honesty and
purity in elections. The profession
that the funds are required to furnish
the people with information is sub
terfuge. The information necessary to
the complete understanding of every
question is furnished the people through
the local and metropolitan press of
the country much in advance of
that afforded by the campaign
committees. As u matter of fact,
the money eXtorted from Government
employees is not used for any such
purpose. Certainly not much of it IS
so used. A large portion of this ex-
torted money goes on its mission in a
much more direct channel. The feeble
and the doubtful, the INDECENT and the
mercenary, are piled with arguments
much more persuasive than are found
in political tracts. The evidence of
this has been presented in overwhelm-
inc force. There are numerous dis
tricts and some States where very
small per cent. of change turns the
scale of victory. This money finds its
wav into these localities and is placed
sswhere it will do the most good"
What with the personal efforts of all
| the postmasters, post-office clerks, let
| ter-carriers, mail-agentS, Internal Rev.
enue agents, officers and clerks, Pen
sion agents and clerks, special Mar
shals and the money which each is
forced to contribute, the party in power
stands on coigne of vantage which
makes their overthrow a Herculean
task, even though the reasons for a
change of Administration may be i'm
portant and urgent. The temptation
for the leaders of party thus fortified
to abuse their trusts and enrich them
selves at the public expense, and to
build up and foster great abuses, is so
strong as to demand the greatest vigil
ance and the most stubborn resistance
by the people of every encroachment
| mon the guarantees and safeguards of
the laws and of the customs and tradi-
tons of the better and simpler days OF
the Government.-St. Louis Republican.

ton for nearly 1,000 meters, and then, curving
to south-southwest, runs in a straight line $50
meters further, or in all above two miles across
the mouth of the harbor, inclosing an area of
more than 400 acres of still water deep enough
for vessels of the largest class. The principal
entrance to the port is now, therefore, round
the southwestern end of the breakwater,
which is 1,510 meters from the shore,
while the narrow passage off Ras-el-Teen
affords ingress and egress only to small craft
and shore boats. AS in the case of the great
moles at Port Said, this outer sea-wau has
been constructed, up to the water level of
huge blocks of concrete, manufactured at the
neighboring Mex Quarries of sand and Theil
lime and deposited pell-mell on the seaside,
with an inner front of rubble. The upper
portion of the work, which is of solid masonry,
rises ten feet above the lowest or seven feet
above the highest, sea-level, and is of uni
form surface width of twenty feet In all,
about 5000 concrete blocks, weighing twenty
tons each, and 10000 tons of large and
small rubble stones have been sunk
in the foundations of this great work. Shore
stretching out 800 meters from the mouth of
the Mahmoudieh Canal and the harbor termi-
nus of the Cairo Railroad toward Ras-elTeen,
and a line OF ouays, 1,2f0 meters long, extend
ing from the same point along the Marina to
close upon the Admiralty Dock. Like the inner
mole. these quayS are based upon a rubble
foundation, with a superstructure of solid ma
sonry, and when completed will have abutting
iron jettieS, alongside which ships may load
and discharge in all weathers.

The first Napoleon had an amazing
memory for figures. He remembered
the respective produce of all taxes
through every year of his administra-
ton. and could repeat them even to the
centimes. Running over an account of
expenditures. he noted the rations of
battalion charged on a certain day at
Besancon. THAT battalion was not
there" said he. The Minister. know
ing that the Emperor had been out of
France at the time, submitted that he
thought it must have been there. 1t
turned out that Napoleon was right,
and that fraud had been committed.

was deserted. No such night was ever
passed within the memory of living
