GENERAL MACPHERSON.
THE GENERAL OF THE ENGLISH INVADING
E0PCE FROM INDUA

The Toronto Globe saws there are few more
popular officers in the Indian army than Sir
Herbert T. Macpherson. A scion OF the Gel
ebrated bouse of Clueny Macpherson in the
Spey valley OF Lochaber, the beauties OF
which are still sung by many an emigrant in
the singulasly plaintive wall known
'Lochaber No More" an air which in the
British Highland regiments occasionally
changes place in the regular funeral marches
with the "Flowers of the Forest" and the
dead March in Saul" Herbert Macpher-
son entered the British army at an early
age, and soon saw service in the troubles
which spread like wildire through Hindo-
stan, whea the flames of the great mutiny
first broke out in the cantonments of Meean-
Nicer in 1857. Joining the Indian staff corps
"a system which it would be next to i'm
possible TO describe as compared with the
regular East Indian military service,
although its essential element is that an Off
Ger belonging TO it may qualify both for the
military and lucrative civil service-Her-
bert Macpherson rose rapidly in favor with
Lord Napier, of Magdala formerly Sir r.
Napier), and other commanders-in-e chief of
India. In March, 1872, he was ranked as a
colonel much about the same time as Sir
Richard Meade, knight of the Star of India,
who won fame first as the capturer of the
rebel Tantia Topee in the jungles of Central
India, and afterward as the political resi-
dent OF Baroda at the time when, five years
ago, Mulharrac Gaekwar, Mahratta prince
ruling 900, 900 people, was put upon his
trial for attempting TO poison Colonel, now
General Phsyre, with arsenic and diamond
dust This trial was the same in which
Sargent Ballantine earned within months
time his remarkable fee of 100000, or $780,
600, as advocate for Gsekwsr's defense. In
1880, after the fret Afghan campaign Of
IS79-S0, Colonel Macpherson was promoted
to the major -generalship while he was in
command of the divisional 5taff of the Ben
gal army. 1t was while he was on duty DUR
ing the Afghan campaign of 1880 that Mr..
Yates, of the London World, got of somewhat
humorous story with regard to him and his
regiment 1t appears that the London
Standard had telegraphed to its correspond
ent. Macpherson, in the Koorum valley with
General Roberts, 10 proceed at once to Zulu
land. This telegram, by some mistake, was
sent. not to the correspondent, but to General
Macpherson, in the Khyber Pass. The lat
ter telegraphed backward and forward 10 the
government of India and the war Office in
London, wishing TO know whether he was to
take his Bengal regiment with him to the
Cape. His nervous aud telesraphic excite
ment lasted for eight days, and when he dis
covered til at all the time the telegram had
been meant only for special correspondent
of the came name he broke down in melan-

Saws the New York Times "The present
crisis in Egypt, end how it may, will have al
least one good result, viz: that OF giving
such publicity to the condition Of the coun-
try and its people as to make a relapse into
the old system OF government, or even
continu ance of The present one, all but i'm
possible. The world is beginning to discover
that the valley of the Nile has population
OF it's own, and that that population has as
good q right TO exist as the citizens of any
Europezn State. Whatever form OF rule
may be established in Egypt, the 'fellafeen'
cannot possibly be worse of under 1t than
they have been under their own native 70 lers.

finally accepted the position at the
head Of the Egyptian staff. which he still
holds His conduct in Egypt has been both
highly praised and severely criticised. One
thing is certain, he is about the only Ameri-
can officer who was able to hold mis- place
against all intrigue, FIRST with Ismsil Pasha,
the depcsed khediye, and then with his sor,
1ewnk, his successor. General Stone not
only undertook to organize the present army
10 revolHtionize the rotten methods he found
in vogue, but he set on foot comprehensive
system OF Central African exploration under
Colonels c. c. Long, Sparrow Purdy and
Majors Mason, Prout and Dye.
An osicer OF ne less note vas Loring
Pashs, who in 1889 performed the most diff
cult and painstaking march known in
American military annals. He conducted a
Rocky Mountains to Oregon-a five months
tramp. He subsequently, engaged in the
Mexican war, leaving an on the field,
but WHEN the civil war came he C. st his for
tunes with the South. When he left Egypt,
where he was commaudsnt OF Alexandria,
the khedive gave him $4,000, which, it is
understood, has almost melted away in dis
astrous speculation. 1t was General Loring
who constructed almost all of the importsnt
defenscs OF Alexandria, commanded the
disastrous expedition against Abyssinia, and
whose hand ie visible in the military organ
iEation as it exists today. He il engaged
upon book recounling the experiences of
his life.
When Colonel Rhett, who was Joe John
ston's chief of staff during the civil war, went
TO Egypt he was very much disinclined to
adopt the habits of the military id matters
of costume, and in fact had no sympathy
with the country at all, and was quite out
spoken in his views. From this circumstance
he was never given an important command,
but, like many oilers, was given his pay
regularly, according to contract, which was
an lnfexible instrument. He was seized
With paralysis while on a visit to Europe,
dying suddenly. He was the most popular
of all the American officers in Egypt.
The officers now remaining at The scene of
conflict are General Stone, Colonel c. c. Long

row Purdy is dead. Among those no longer
living, too, are Colonel Jenifer, the inventor
of the Jenifer saddle; General Sibley, the
inventor of the Sibley tent; General Ray

and Colonel Campbell, all exConfederaie
efficers. General r. E. Colston, who msde a
journey OF ff6o-rni4es on litter from
equatorial Africa 10 the Nile, is now en-
gagged as a military Instructor at an academy

POLITICAL STATUS AT The COURT OF ITALY
Is THAT OF A GREAT BORE.

1O4~1A4NAL o1AItS AT .IHE COCRT OE
Is THAT OF GREAT BORE.
A letter from Perugiz to the Manchester
Examiner puts the question as to E1-Khediye
Isnlail Pssha: what is his real political
position there? 1t is not etsy to answer the
question:. think that the Italian govern
ment, when he first came to ltaly. was proud
and pleased to have such guest. He might
even prove useful in some possible crisis of
the Eastern question. Though standing to
no foreign power id the hostile relation in
which Louis XIV stood to William of Or
snse, or the prince regent to the first Napo-
leon, the Italian government may have felt,
politically speaking, toward The e,-khedive
as the French king felt toward the Siusrts at
St. German, or the regent toward the Borr-
bons at HartweIl. The ex-khedive was a
trump card which might be played out with
great effect. But there we're also moments
when Louis and the prince regent must
have found the presence of their guests
a great bore, and that, / suspect, is
uppermost in the mind of the Italian gov
ernment about the ex-khedive. Surely That
very shrewd Venetian gentlemen, SO wei,
known in London society as Wassiff Efeudi,
who there figured as the secretary of Midhat
Pasha-surely that gentleman, whom you
find 30 busy writing in the first room as you
enter, is not merely sending out notes oil in
vitatiou to dinner. Surely those two sons,
Ebraikim and Hussein, who have been
brought up in Paris, and who are such valu-
able, not 10 say precious, specimens of the
latest OF Partisan civilization-surely these
two young gentlemen are not without come
good cause SO unusually elated as for the last
month they have been. Is there in all this
more than meets the eyer Time will show
But Just at this moment rather think that
King Humbert and his foreign minister,
Signor Mancini, would not feel much regret
il by the waving of the wand of some old
Egyptian sorcerer, the ex-khedive, with ma
femme and the harem, with all his gold plate
and his sky-blue state liveries-above all,
with his Venetian secretary, could be
whisked away from the Villa Telfener and
sat down above the highest cataract of the
Nile, there to occupy himself with Egyptian
affairs under the sole conditions possible at
