CAIRO, Nov. 8.-Lord Dutferin and the
khedive had long interview to-day. The
guns of the citadel fred salute in honor
of the English ambassador. The COVER
nor of Soudan has telegraphed the khedive
denying that Khartown is in imminent
danger. The battle between the black
troops and false prophet was most des-
perate. The former lost 1000 killed, while
the troops OF the latter suffered still more
seriously. The black troops were not an
initiated as stated, but rallied and reached
Bora. The governor says he is able to
hold Khartown until reinforced. Trader
report that Obeid and Bara, which were
besieged by the false prophet, have been
relieved.
Cairo, Nov. s.-The Egyptian minister
of the interior has warned officials against
giving any information to the foreign or
native press on penalty of dismissal from
tho service of the khedive, and the country
is to be assessed against any one violating
the order. The government is determined
to maintain secrecy as to its official acts.
CA1Ro, Nov. 8.-Lord Dufferin favors ths
trial of Arab Pasha by Egyptian pro-
cedure. The government counsel still
continue to refuse to act if English pro-
cedure is followed in the trial. Bredif.

Cherif Pasha, president of the council,
against the arbitrary suspension of the
board of control, and says France main
tains the right to exercise in control.

LONDON, Nov. S.-The telegraph says:
Engiishmen can hardly contemplate with
equanimity the probability that the
next president of the United States will
be a Democrat, as it is doubtful whethe,
the changes the Democrats will introduce
in the American tariff will be of advantage
to England. It is also worthy Of recol-
lection that the Democratic party was al
ways deeply dyed IN antagonism to Eng,
land. Still, whether the elections resulted
in Republican or Democratic victory
Englisemen may heartily wish their kins-
men deliverance from machine politics
which were fraught with menace to the
best interests of America.
Gladstone's course in his speech, IN op:
position to Northcote's amendment for the
rejection of cloture rules, he having said
that the present procedure prevented him
from dealing with local self-government

WESTERN UNION.

An Opinion as to the Effect of the Recent
Adverse Decision OF the New ork Su-
perior Court.
New YORK, Nov. e.-Four membe of
the counsel of the Western Union Tele-
graph company have addressed the fol-
lowing communication to DR.. Norvin
Green, president of the company, under
date of to-day:
SIR: Your inquiry as to the effect
of the recent decision of the
superior court upon the status of the COM
panv's stock is received. We answer: The
general term concurs with the court below
in deciding that the company's increase
OF its capital stock to $SO,0OO,OO0 was
valid, and that it has power to purchase
the properties OF the American
Union and Atlantic & Pacific COM
panies and Fay therefore in
stock. Nothing has been decided which
at ali affacts the validity of existing stock
The Only point decided adversely to the
company was that its distribution of
Sl5,526,590 stock among its own stock
holders was not authorized. The COM
penys counsel believe the court OF ap-
pea!s will over rule this position. IF the
present decision should be again adverse,
it ctnaot affect more than 684 shares, the
holders Of all but this number, which IN
cludes those belonging to the plaintiffs
haying ratified the transaction.

Probability Of a Long Struggle Bet,recss tic
WcsteIn Union and Mutual Union.
New York Herald, Nov. 5.
long and bitter struggle between the
Western Union and the Mutual Union Tele-
graph companies is anticipated. The case
of the former against the latter is pro-
nounced by all who are intimately con-
versant with the facts to be very weak,
but they count on Mr.. Gould's well-known
pertinacity and vindictiveness to exagger-
ate his pretensions in every way possible.
Since the formation OF The Baker
Balicu-FOtGer trust he has shown
greater Irritation than in any previous in
stance where his Will has been thwarted,
and he has uttered threats undisguisedly
against the persons who are acting against
him. All doubt as to The good f,itn and
ultimate objects of the gentlemen form
ing the ''poow has bsen removed from the
minds of even the spectators in Wall
street, who see in every stock Or financial
treaty vehicle of trickery. 1t is certain,
in view of the best observers, that the in
terest of all the large holders of Mutual
Union shares, with the single exception of
Mr. Gould, Is on the side of making the
company entirely independent of its great
rival.
''They all see,'' said leading broker yes
terday, ''that any other course would be
financial suicide. Mr.. Gould is wounded
more than he ever was before. When I say
wounded I do not mean especially in a
financial sense, because he could sell HIS
WesternUnion stock to-day without it going
below the price he paid for it. But his pride
as the infallible genius of mischief is hurt.
That's the reason he will fight to the bitter
end. He has an immense fund of ingenuity.
He will exhaust every possible expedient
and device before he viii acknowledge HIM
self TO be beaten. But for once in his career
he is oyermatched. There's much more in this
poor than appears. The men composing
it are strong, out there are others behind
them who have ten times as much money.
and who are prepared to spend as much as
Gould's whole investment in telegraph
companies to secure a fair share in the
enormous telegraphic business of the coun-
try. They stand reedy to furnish all the
funds necessary for offending the lines of
the Mutual Union to every point touched
by the Western Union. If the Mutual
Union desires to lay cable they will place
%5,OoO,OOO to its credit for that purpose.
The pnblic may be assured that at last the
Western Union has found a rival which
cannot be crushed.''
Mr.. George F. Baker returned to the
city yesterday and was in consultation.
with the officers Of the Mutual Union. A
cable message has been received from Mr..
George ". Ballou approving the attitude
of his fellow-trustees
The price of Western Union shares yes
terday reflected the keen Judgment of
stock brokers when it declined 215.
Throughout the day The stock was weak,
and the opinion was widely expressed that
nothing but truce between Jay Gould
and the mutual Uxion trustees could re-
store it to the confidence of the s'street.''
That such a t.uce is impossible every body
knows.
