was made to surprise the:,British outposts

approached close to the British lines, wher
the Thirty regiment opened fire. The
enemy then retreated precipitately. During
the remainder of the night the Egyptians
continued moving about just beyond range
The attempt was preceded by reports that
Arab Pasha was attempting to treat for con
ditions for his surrender, and that white
fag was flying over his intrenchments. The
reports were probably circulated to lnll the
vigilance of the British.

Gladstone said the Porte had not taken
step toward compliance with the request
for troops, but he was not aware that the con-

had not receded from anything they had

THE sTALwART TIMES"
The Tines, in leading article, says:
Neither an sovereign, sazeraip, nor under
any other title viii there be room for
the influence of the sultan in Egypt after
The responsibilities Of sovereignty have been
cynicalIy thrown aside in The hour of trial.
The sultan may have amused himself BY
forming new alliances, and complimenting
Ihe new allies with decorations, but il re-
mains to be seen what help these sympathiz-
srs can or will give him. England, by act
ing alone, will acquire and assert her right
Of controlling in future the country che
,aved. Those who object 10 that prospect
have even, at the eleventh hour, an
OF sharing the labor and obtain
ng voice in the determination of events;
Dot if England is left to act alone the formal
engagements she took when the situation
vas wholly different will be wholly abro-
rated. We must plainly show the sultan,
ind to the powers, that We intend TO work
and to retain the Board Of Con-
rol when done. Gladstone and his coll
eagues must yield TO the compulsion of
vents. Our commanding naval force and
army will insure the estab-
ishment in Egypt of strong government |
lnder English protection, If the ministry do |
rot hesitate entering upon the path which |
les straight before them
