northeastward to the Province of Quebec
the pressure continues below the mean over
the central valleys and Southwest. The
high pressure area, however, continues to
dominate the weather over the Atlantic
coast districts, causing southerly winds
to blow east of the Alleghanies. Rain

the Missississippi, except along the South
Atlantic coast. Fair weather prevailed in
the Northwest. The temperature fell in the
Western districts and rose in the East and

The hhedive of Egypt Yielding to the De-
mands of Army Officers Pressed with
Drawn Swords Restores Arab Bey.

Carlo, May 2S, 10 p.m.-An official state
ment has just been made. 1t says cat 5
O'Clock to-day all the ulemas of the Ell Azhar
University, the whole Chamber of Notables,
numerous nOtabilities, deputation from
the schools, and body of native merchants
came to the palace to pray the Khedive to
take back Arab Bey as minister of war,
because the army insisted upon that course,
and menaced them if the Khedve persisted
i'll refusing to reinstate him. In consequence
of the reiterated entreaties of the represen-
tatives Of the people, the Khedive, desirous
OF the maintenance Of order and tranquility
in the country, has acceded TO their PRAYER
by reinstating Arab Bey." i
The statement declares that the situation
is unchanged, and that before he was re-
stored to power Arab Bey gave assurances
to the diplomatic agents of Germany,
Austria, Italy and Russia, who had declared
that they held him responsible for public
security. The President of the Council and
other ministers have not yet been appointed.
The khediye has received telegram from
the Grand Nizier at Stamboul announcing
the immediate departure for Egypt of
Turkish commission.
LONDON, May 29-The Standards CORE
sponent at Cairo says "The Khedive was
informed that an armed force was In readi-
ness to convey him prisoner to Kubbeh If
ne refused TO reiGstate Arab Bey. He re-
piled Il bow to the Will of the nation.'" "
The correspondent adds +: ga blow is in
flicted on the prestige of England and
France which only the utmost energy on their
part can parry. The Khedive Is now a
mere puppet in the hands of Arab Bey."
The Tunes, in leading article this morn
ing, says: The situation in Egypt is
tolerably clear Turkey has been playing a
double game. Arak Bey is doubtless acting
in collusion with Turkey. The latter has
played the game with complete success. "The
article concludes by expressing hope that
England's future policy will be marked by
greater tirmness and decision than has been
hitherto displayed.
