THE interest in the Egyptian trouble
is ebbing back from the field of var to
the halls of diplomacy. Little but dis
gushing, though generally unfounded,
rumors of murderous sorties upon the
gates of Alexandria, is heard from
Arab Bey, and the English forces are
gradually reducing the wrecked city to
something like order. The British
ministry is getting ready to explain the
affair in parliament, and the confer
ence at Constantinople is preparing to
ask the sultan to interfere and occupy
Egypt for three months. The khedive
is apparently anxious to escape re-
sponsibility for recent events, and to
reach an understanding with Europe.

Using than few days ago.
