Gals. His Ministry is crowded with
natives who beg Of him every kind Of
favour. A double line Of guards is
necessary to keep off the petitioners.
The people treat him with supers-
titious respect. Some hold him to be
a direct descendant Of the Prophet
others treat him as one inspired a
few think he may be El-Mahdi, the
sacred Imam so long expected, who
will restore Islam to its pristine
glory.
The new Ministry is now a faH
0ccompE. They have paid the official
visit to the Diplomatic Body, and
already their programme is known.
The maintenance Of order has a pro-
minent place, and every obligation
arising out Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
is to be respected. But, and it is a
'but' the gravity of which cannot be
exaggerated, although it does not
appear in the printed programme, the
Ministers and Parliament are deter
mined to have full control over the
public purse. They are going to
carry the Constitutional law, which
will transfer all power Of budgotmak-
ing, law-making, and Cabinct-making
from the Khediye to the Parliament.
AS Arab controls both Notables and
Ministers, this law will invest him
with absolute power III Egypt.
Whether the Council of Ministers
Will seek any foreign approval after
this step has been taken is not quite
certain. But there is little doubt
that they will act at once and vote
the law in its integrity. Meanwhile
troops are drilled, arms renewed,
powder manufactured, Notifications
inspected, and people say a plan for
the temporary ,stoppage of the Suez
Canal is ready.
The promised respect Of all express
international agreements will proba-
bly, be maintained. The three
great institutions concerned are the
international Courts, the Commission
of Public Debt and the Anglo-French
Control. The first institution exists
by virtue of conventions with IA
different Powers. 1t is looked upon
with favour as a necessary link be-
tween native and foreigner. It's
judgments are executed without diff
fculty, and in 1881 the receipts of
the courts exceeded the expenses by
$4,000. The Commission of Pub
lie Debt is guaranteed by the Law of
Liquidation, which was settled by
agreement between England, France
Germany, Austria and Italy on the
n side, and Egypt on the other,
The duty of the Commissioners is to
receive the revenues assigned to the
service Of the Public Debt, in which
is included the Daira Sanieh Debt
and that of the Domaine. Any fail
ure on the part of the Government
to carry out its engagements would at
once produce action on the part Of
the Commission, first by an appeal
to the International Tribunals under
Act SO of the Law of Liquidation,
and finally by a representation of the
Commissioners to the Powers
whose agents they are. With a view
to the stability of the arrangements

portant of all in Egypt, the Anglo,
French Control. 1t was created in
1879 as a substitute partly for the
Control established by the Goschen-
Joubert decree, partly for the Wilson
De Blignieres Ministry, and its object
was the supervision of all the admin
istrations of the State. The Control
lers have not only a duty as regards
the portion of the revenue which is
not affected to the Public Debt SINH
lar to that OF the Debt Commissioners
as regards the affected portion, but
they have a further duty and II
still more important. They assist at
all meetings Of the Ministers, and are
empowered to give an opinion on
every important question OF reform
or administration. The functions, IN
the hands Of capable men such as
Messrs. Colvin and De BIignIeres,
had made of them in reality leaders,
though nominalIy only advisers OF
the Government. Their influence
has invariably been a good one, and
under their guidance Egypt was gra-
dually, but surely, passing from dis
order and mislule to order ard good
government, but their strength was
only a moral one. They depended
on the support Of their own Govern
ments and on the goodwill OF the
Egyptians. This latter support has
now suddenly failed them. They
could not consent to the complete
transfer to the Military Party Of the
control of all revenue, saving such
part s is given to the Public Debt.
They protested against it themselves,
they encouraged the late Govern
ment to refuse to allow it, they in
duced England and France to sup
port the refusal. But all was in vain.
The voice of the Controllers had lost
its charm. The Military Party have
carried the day, and the financial
control VIII pass into the hands nomi-
nally Of Parliament, but really OF
Arab Bey. The Controllers will,
Of course, take no step without con-
sulting their Governments, and before
this letter reaches its destination their
line Of action, whether it be Austen
ton from the Council or resignation
Of their posts, will have been settled.
The more general impression here
is that the new regime will not be
mterfered with by the two Western
Powers, in spite of the menace OF
the Joint Note. There is more like
lihood, it is thought, of Turkey COM
ing here. Indeed, people ordinarily
we'll informed expect the speedy re-
duction of Egypt into two vllayets,
upper and lower, each with a turk

so-called National Party WILDE allow
to work out its own destinies. Eng
land, especially, SO say some people,
is bound to respect such a political
experiment. The Egyptians wish
to carry out every duty as regards
the public debt, and consent to all
administration connected with it be-
ing in European hands. But they
object to any interference in other
departments, and more especiaIly

Mr.. EDITOR: The editors of the Tri-
bune, in their Friday mornings issue, Try to
make the impression that Mr. r. S. Payne,
the Democratic candidate for mayor, sup
ported Wilson for Governor, on personal
grounds. I wish to state that had several
conve rsations with Mr.. Payne during the
gubernatorial canvass, in which he freely
expressed himself in favor of the low-tax
wing of the Democratic party. Mr.. Payne
never spoke once of voting for Wilson on
personal grounds. He no doubt, would
have supported Mr.. Savage, or any other
low-tax Democrat, as enthusiastically as he
did Mr.. Wilson. If I have, in anything
misrepresented MIR. Payne in this card, he
has ample time, between now and the cleo
ton to make the correction.
