NEW YORK, Sept. %.
A London special says it is reported that
the basis for a settlement of the affairs of
Egypt Is being negotiated BY Lord Grand
vile and the khedive. The terms proposed
are said to be as follows: England to with
draw from the canal and convene q congress
of powers to guarantee its maintenance As
an International highway; the Anglo French
financial control to be abolished and re-
placed BY international commission on the
public debt; Suzerainty Of the Sultan to be
re-affirmed, and also firmans securing the
sovereignty of the khedive; English troops
to evacuate Egypt at an early day, but Eng
land to have the right to continue the occu-
patton of Alexandra and adjacent forts for
two years; Egyptian army to be replaced by
gen darmes Of which the leading command
ers shall be Englisbmen and subordinate
officers English; Turkish and Egyptian and
part of the Indian contingent be placed at
the disposal of the khedive until the main-
teaance of order is assured.
SUFFERERS TO BE UNIDENTIFIED.
ALEXANDRIA, Sept. %.
Some of the provinces of the Khedive
have been seriously compromised BY the late
revolt. and it is generally believed that
property valued at FL ,00O, 900 will be con-
fiscated and applied to the indemnification
of the sufferers by the June massacre.
1t is disgusting to witness the attitude and
enthusiasm of the natives for the Khedive
and to bear expressions of loyalty of many
of those who have been notorious friends of
Arab. The Khedive, however, is not de-
ceived by this lip loyalty. The fact that
certain partisans of Arab still hold govern
ment appointments under the protection of
certain ministers. is much commented upon.
THE GRAND SHERIFF OF MECCA DEPOsED.
1t is officially announced from Jeddah that
the Grand Sheriff of Mecca has been depOsed
and imprisoned at Taffe, where Midhat Pasha
was prisoner. Abdeilah Abricoun has
been named Grand Sheriff. He is brother
to the Sheriff who was murdered some time
ago, as was then supposed, by orders from
the Sultan, because he was favorable to the
British.
PAYING THE PENALTY.
Two men implicated in the June massacre
| here were hanged today.
SURRENDER OF ABDELLAH.
DAMIETTA, Sept. %.
Gen. Wood with two regiments arrived at
Damietta today. Abdellah surrendered at
| the railway station. 1t is expected the
| troops will surrender their arms this after
noon. The surrounding country is quiet.
Crops are in splendid condition.
NOT ALL SERENE.
LONDON, Sept. 90.
The Times Tantah special SAYS it il
difficult to ascertain the popular feeling in
more remote districts. The wholesome fear
inspired in some quarters is BY no means
general.
| Paris dispatch to the Times says certain
directors of the Suez canal have taken
| alarm at the view expressed by the Times in
| an article on the Suez canal published on
| the 2lst inst, in order to dispel any anxiety
| in regard to England starting a second canal.
| They seem inclined to effect an understand
ing which would give England full satisfac-
ton and perfect security for the future,
guarding the general interests at stake. This
will probably be the way in which the
question of settlement will be disposed Of
1t is officially announced that Gen. WOles-
ley and Admiral Seymour will be raised to
| the Peerage, in acknowledgement of their
recent distinguished services in Egypt.
FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE NATIVES.
CAIRO, Sept. %.
The British cavalry marched through the

vent disc rders in the Arab quarters.
