wThe San Francisco Call takes this

wThe San Francisco Call takes This
view OF Arabi Bey's alleged rebellion:
Technically, Arab Is rebel. The
Khedive is bis sovereign, and he has re.
fused to obey the Khedive. But If the
question is examined from broader
point Of view, 1t becomes less clear thai
Arab is Q rebel. There is doubt
whether the Khedive IS his own master.
There is doubt whether be represents
either the people Of Egypt or the Sultan
Of Turkey, to whom he owes quasi al
leg,snce. II the Khedive is in the hands
Of the British and subject to their orders,
his command to Arab to lay down his
arms cannot be accepted as the true ex-
preston OF ruler. In law. documen,
does not stand that can he proved to
have been extorted by threats from per
sons having the power to carry them
out. The Khedive did not declare Arab
rebel until the Khedive had fallen into
British hands. Turkey has not yet de-
clared him rebel, and apparently does
not intend to until he opposes some
other Power than the British, through
the Khedive, brings to bear upon him.
Arabi certainly cannot he said to be q
rebel because he opposes the invaders OF
his country"
There is considerable evidence to show
that this is the right view OF the case.

LONDON. August 9.-The evidence is
daily accumuating which shows that the
defeat Of the Six,ieth R des, on the night
of the first. was more disastrous than
was at first supposed. The success
gained by Arahi on that occasion has
been followed up and mis- works now tx-
tend from Ka'r Dwar to Mahalla, with
headquarters from the latter. A recon-
noisance yesterday shows his northerly
out posts extend across Mahomoudie

centrating heavy force. The number
of British troops in Egypt is thought to
be inadequate to cope with the forces OF

Henry Willard to the Judiciary Com.
mittee.

New YoRE, Aug. 3.-In Mr.. villard's
communication to the committee on Judi.
ciary Of the house of representatives, he
gives many reasons that caused unavoid-
able delay in the construction Of the road.
Among others he refers to the difficulty Of
penetrating the Yellowstone country prior
| to 1877. The existancc of Indian reserva-
tons on and along the line Of the road has
| caused and is still causing considerable
delay The road under construction and
to be constructed is as follows: Yellow
stone division, $40 miles u17 completely;
Rocky Mountain division, 1913 miles;
Clarks Fork division, 90 (thirty-eight
compieG); Columbia River division, 23S;
Cascade Branch division, 219; Wisconsin
division, 100; Pacific division, a; total,
!, ,s2l miles. The work in the western Sec
ton Of the country is Of an expensive char.
acter; the aggregate cost of the tunnels with
the approaches will reach $l,50o,OO0. In
conclusion Mr.. Willard says ''as an uniin-
| ished local line, the Northern Pacific can
| never fulfill the expectations of its origin
ators and their successors, and that it can
only become paying enterprise, as far as
the stockholders are concerned, upon its
completion as through line from Lake
Superior to the Pacific ocean. We are glad
