AS an indication of the spirit which

The Egyptian expedition, and who had

the palace clique and the ministerial
party. The grsnd visor and minister OF
fJrelgn atiaiIs insisted upon the necessity
OF the proclamation, and declared that

New York l2.-I{erdld'S Constau-
tinOple: In an audience granted TO your
correspondent at ildiz Palace. this
afternoon, the Sultan expressed himself
freely upon the Egyptian question. His
Majesty minated yesterday his wish for
an interview, ana appointed 9 O'Clock "a
the hour. After the usual delays preli-
minsry to being admitted to the royal
presence, and the formSlities Customary
upon presentation 10 the sultan 10 reply
TO aques ion about the situation in Egypt,
he spoke as follows: The conversation
was carried on entirely through an
interpreter, as His Msjesty speaks no
language but Turkish.) The situation in
Egypt, said the Sultan, was not serious
until the presence ofthe fleets preciOitated
sftairs and exsspersted the people
Arabs party then took advantage Of
the situation 10 in6ame the people.
What does your Majesty consider the
original cause Of the tr0uble2 l will
explain There have been in all Egyp-
tan pubic departments q great mum Der
Of English and French employees ap-
pointed and kept IN place By the influence
Of English and French controllers, and
these employees proftted enormously by
the abuse Of their places, which they held
to the exclusion of Arabs They
constantly extended their owo privileges
aud Increased their preference until
Arab, who was then colonel ia the
service, complained to theKhedive. In this
way breach cc0u red between Arabi
and the Khedive and difficulties arose
which might EASILY have been arranged |
had not he appearance of the fleets |
aroused native feeling and destroyed nv
plans for reconci .iatIon of the opposing |
factions and Deaceable settlement Of the |
troubles. I had already sent to Alexan-
drla commission, including Dervisch |
Pashs. Achmed Essad Eff dI, Lebid |
Efendi and Cedri Effsndi, to act as BIZ |
srstors bat the action Of the English rem
dered their plans useless. Libeb Efiendi, |
who has just rsturned, will give you a |
written statement Of the case more at |
length
What does your Msjesty think of toe |
bonn hard mente Il was most cruel and |
unjust. The English forbade the Egyp-
tlsns to fortify their own works, and |
then while defenseless opened fire upoa
hem. This was an unjust, inhumsn act,
ara contrary to the law of nAtioLs.
The EoRlIsh claim that they were deal
ing With rebels? In that case il was
Rngland's duty TO inform the sovereign
powers sndto leave the settlement to the
authority, instead ct taking the law into /
her own hands. which she had DO right
% do. The English say there is no
Justice among US; yet let US look ut Ire
and. Engl 'nd's Irish subjects are
simply demanding right which here in
Turkey is universally granted to the pep
pie Such troubles as the Irish sRrArian
lots would be impossible in Turkey. |
England boasts of her superior justice,
yet we have what she does not grant to.
her subjects, an equitable land law under
which farmers and even farm Iaborers
IRE protected ia their rights. When the

What Is your Msjesty's opinion about
'oe result OF the present troubles? sm
'ure that when all the facis ara known in
America and other impartial countries
he action Of England will be condemned
70 arbitrary and unjust. II EnRland's
ODlec' IS TO protect her own interests in
India, she has taken the wro z course.
she viii never be allowed by o her
powers 10 oecapy Egypt alone. France
would insist upon the maintenance of a
zee neutral province.or g. oiLt occupancy.
10 either case there wOuId be more danger

Any Englishman who has apv
brains in bis head understands
hat the interest of England is in
ha nAintsinence OF Turkish power. It

Turkish government 70 maintain the
