THE porte telegraphed the Egyptian
ministry that the convocation Of the

of the khedive, is contrary to the provis-
ions Of the constitution. The command

TRByRLLYAN, chief secretary for Ire
land, reelected to parliament, was cheered
az he took his seat. He declared the new
bill would facilitate the summoning of
witnesses. The government would be
slow to use their power with regard to
public meetings, and where meetings were
held they would regard less the utterances
of the speakers than the evident intention
of what was enunciated. He defended
the provisions CT the bill against the pub
LEGATION of seditious articles. He said the
government had reason to think that in
their efforts to suppress outrage they
would have the assistance of those who
had become tired of the terrorism to which
they had been SO long subjected.
EGYPT is in state of revolution. The
ministry in violation of the organic law,
have summoned the chamber of notables
over the head Of the khedive. Their
nominal object is to settle the difference
which has arisen between them and the
khedive, but it is considered that the
latter's deposition may be regarded as
virtually achieved in favor of government
under Arab Bey, unless imne diate inter
vention occurs. The diplomatic agents OF
Germany, Austria, and Italy have received
strict instructions to abstain from inter-
vention. The Egyptian ministers have
formally assured the foreign consul gen
erals that no danger threatens the lives or
property of Europeans; but they declare
that in t he event of Turkish Intervention
they are resolved o defend their country.

washington is an uncongenial place

so many of the important government

worse than folly to prosecute thieves,
such as Howgate an the star-routers,
at the national capital 1t is notori.
Gus fact that society shields Howgate
and protects Brady. The leading even
ing paper of the city, the Critic, is the
pronounced organ of the star-routers
and teens with abuse of every man
connected with the prosecution. Its
denunciations of MacN eagh are simply
Infamous. And this papers mouthings
are tolerated in Washington. A news
paper is never without a sympathetic
clientage, and the Critic claims large
local patronage. 1t only illus
illustrates how safe government thieve:
are in Washington. Local influence,
go far toward shaping prosecutions
This fact is so well recognized that the
press generally is very careful to alb
stain from attempts to prejudice {
case. In no other city in the country
