WHAT EGYPT WILL LosK.
A prominent financier estimates that
Egypt will lose nearly f70. 100000 by the war.
The cotton crop, which is entirely lost, would
have been worth nearly f4O000,0JO. There is
little hope Of saving any OF the sugar crop. II
the country Ia not In a settled condition within
two months II will DO too late for sowing next
years cereals. Several large failures are anti
cipated shortly.
THE WAR VIRTUALLY OVER.
Continued success attended the
British army In Egypt on the 14tb. Cairo
was entered that day where Arab pasha had
arrived tho preceding night He was virtual
the rebellion made immediate submission.

gratulations TO Wolsesy and suggested that

THE TROUBLE IN MADAGASCAR.
A cable some weeks ago made brief
mention of trouble on the Island of Madagas
Car, which, 1t was said, involved the safety Of
American residents. The bark TARA Topaz
frem the island, is the first vessel to reach this
country with tidings OF the true state of affairs
She reached Boston the other day aud tue pas
sengers report series Of instructions among
the tiibes ON the coast against the authority OF
the Queen. The trouble grew out Of the Qaeen's
prohibition OF the export Of ebony, rosewood
and other valuable products TO this and Other
countries. The local tribes persisted in tie
practice, tempted by liberal offers OF American
captains. A small army was sent from the
capital In the Interior to the coast, In June, and
here were several unimportant engagements
In which few were killed. Fever attacked tn
Queens troops and hundreds of them died
The native soldiers from the mountainous int
rior we're unable TO endure the climate of til,
l0wlands. The safety of American residents
was not involved at the time OF the Taria To-
pans sailing.
WHAT Is TO BE DONE WITH ABABI.
Since the poor Arabs have met tn,
fate that was Inevitable at the time Aimira
Seymour bombarded their forts at Alexandria
1t has become q question, what should b.
done with Arab, the leader OF the rebellion
One report says he will he taken to England
This would be bad, indeed; ,ut, then Cetsway,
stood IL, ndperhaps the crafty Arab coul,
wiggle through afsw months sojourn in tbs
land Of his csptors. The London Times speak
ing on the question, says: "If the lives o
Arab Pasha and his Immediate followers ar
spared these men must be put once for all gu
Of doing further harm. They cannot b
permitted TO retire to Constantinople to be-
come the center OF palpable intrigues. Y
restore the authority OF the Khedive, th
army must be disbanded and replaced b.
gendarmes sufficient to maintain civil order
II troops are needed to defend distant frontier
IL Is sufficient To maintain them on the from
tier and not keep them at Cairo."
