The EGYPTIAN Troubles.

Private kilograms from Egypt state that
the situation is SO strained that collision is
unavoidable. The correspondent of Reuters
Telegram Company at Alexandria says adj
miral Seymour's caution to the Governor
was relative to a rumored intention to block
the entrance to the harbor by sinking ships
laden with stone. Admiral Seymour mott
fled the Governor that he would regard any
such attempt as an act of open hostility.
Meanwhile the Egyptians are dispatching
large stores and ammunition to the forts on
the coast
The Daily Me'rs says Admiral Seymour
will to-day send letter to the commander
ut Alexandria. asking him to PIT Il stop TO
the erection of earthworks, and will take
action accordingto answer.
There are decided signs of wavering in
the hitherto determined resistance of the
Porte to the proposals of the powers.
Orders have been given at Bombay for the
rmbarkation of 800 English and 5000 ma
tive troops for Egypt. They will be station

From Egypt.

ALEXANDRIA, July 6.-Ragheb Pacha
president of the council received a telegram
from the Sultan announcing that the British
fleet would lombard the forts unless work
on them was stopped. The Sultan holds
the khcdive and ministry responsible for
the consequences. Ragheb Pacha replied
that the ministry had already telegraphed
to Constantinople that demonstrations had
been made in consequence of which the Sui
tans permission to resume the work was
asked. Pending the Sultan's reply no de-
Unite resolution would be adopted.
Despite all dcnials to the contrary the
work on the Notifications continues Adj
miral Seymour delays formally demanding
the cessation of the work until all the Bri,
fish residents are on board vessels in the
harbor. They are now hastily embarking.

arms to the natives.

THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1892.

The South Carolina Legislature has re-
districted that State under the new Con-
gressional apportionmcnt and adjourned.
AS now districted the negro counties, to as
great an extent as was practicable, have
been thrown into one district, so as to make
it possible for democrats to be elected in
the other districts. The State has been
effectuallyj errymandered, and its peoplcan
its press indorse what has been done, and
so does every other man who knows any
thing about the true condition of affairs in
that State. There are no more honorable
people than the white men of South Caro-
lima land no more igh-toned newspapers than
those of that State, and the fact that they
openly indorse a system which under other
circumstances would be so preudicial, shows
plainly enough the dire straits to to which
they are reduced. If, as Senator Sherman
says, anything is justiliublc in morals and
in law that will beat down the democratic
party, certainly jerrymandcring, which il;
not forbidden by law, is justiablc when
used to preserve State and all its interests;
from the utter ruin necessarily consequent
upon negro rule.

HE SoRA MYSTERY SoLvED.-All the ny
pothcscs about the origin and development
ofthe sora may now be considered satisfacto-
rlly proven erroneous. 1t is not evolved
from frogs through tadpoles. 1t is not of
vegetable origin, nor yet generated out of
nothing. To be brief young sora was
brought to this office yesterday, which had
been Matched in the usual way, and bred in
the wonted nest. 1t has feathers, beak,
wings, and all the limbs and members of
perfectly developed bird 1t is pity to de-
Stroy all the ingenious hypothesis which
have been constructed to explain all about
this bird. But it is il stern duty and cannot
be avoided. The sora is Il bird, Matched from
IN egg; the latter being formed and modelled
after the manner OF the eggs of most birds.
We shall therefore have to bid farewell to
all legends and traditions and romances
about this interesting creature and simply
welcome It as 4 very commonplace matter

old story to the effect that the maintainancc

tai to the interest of that section No body

statement than the unfortunate people of
the South, but between color line and ne

vote, being possessed Of common sense they
cloose the lesser Of the two evils No matter
whom the negroes may take for their lead
err, having selected him they always vote as
he desires, and as unit For the white
people to divide, therefore, is to put their
states in the control Of either the ignor-
ant or the vicious and bring ruin upon their
every interest. 1t is supposed that the Post
doesn't think the color line at the North al
all Objectionable, for if it did it would doubt
less advocate the political preterment of the
