FUTURE GOVERNMENT OF EGYPT,

FUTURE GONEkNNENl Of
LONDON. January 1.-THE Times says:
The scheme formulated by the Egyptian
Government, approved by Lord Du1erin,
and transmitted to the Foreign Office, pro-
poses that the Khediye OF Egypt shall have
a council Of twelve responsible ministers,
and that legislative council Of fourteen
members shall be formed, half OF whom
shall be nominated by the khediYe and hall
chosen by the system OF double election,
such as that for which abundant precedents
exist in the American Constitution and
others. An elective Assembly OF forty-four
members is also proposed to be convened
10 occasionally discuss special subjects
The latter will not participate in legisla-
ton. but will assist legislation by giving
voice TO the classes hitherto inarticulate.
The initiation OF legislation rests wholly
with the Council Of Ministers, but its pro-
iects must be submitted to the Legislative
Council before becoming law. In the event
OF irreconcilable differences between these
two bodies. the decision will probably be
left to the KbediVe.
THE ARREST OF PRINCE NAPOLEON.

Der OF the former French dynasties. The

LONDON, January 1.-THE Times says
Prince Napoleon was arrested under the
article OF the Penal Code entailing trans
portation, which can be reduced to exile.
By the Constitution the Senate can be sub
stituted court OF justice to take eogni-
zance OF an outrage against the safety OF
the State. Such court would be certain
to condemn the Prince.

AUGUSTA, Ga, January 1.-THE stock
holders OF the Augusta and Knoxville rail-
road to-day authorized the directors TO
lease or sell the road on the most favor
able terms. II is operated from Augusta
to Greenwood, ;. C.,-seventy miles. The
company failed to pay the January cou-
pons. II earned sufficient TO meet the in
terest, but the earnings had TO be appro-
priated TO pay other obligations. 1t is re-
ported that the South Carolina and Georgia
Central are negotiating for the lease or
purchase OF the line.
The survey OF the Augusta, Elberton,
and Chicago railroad will commence to-
morrow. The line OF the road from Au-
gusta to Elberton, seventy miles, will be
located, and the grading will commence in
February.
WILMINGTON, n. c., January IA very
large meeting Of colored men from various

amendment that might be necessary to give

fast trains only carried New York papers,
he believed Il well founded; but even II
they did no more than distribute these
newspapers rapidly. that would be accom-

All parts OF the country were anxious to
get the New York papers.
Without reaching a vote the bill went
over, and the tariff bill was taken up.
The debate on the tariff bill occupied the
remainder OF the session. The low-tariff
men had decidedly the best OF 1t, both in
debate and voting, to-day, and the proceed
ings were full of interest. While the
crockery-and-g glassware schedule was I'M
der consideration, Mr.. Vance, replying to
statement that ninety per cent. OF the
cost OF manufacturing these articles went
TO the support OF American labor, said the
figures showed that the material and labor
together did not amount to seventy-five
per cent. TO show the interest taken by
these manufacturers in American labor. he
read a circular OF the Malaga Glass-Manu-
featuring Company OF New Jersey. an
nouncing that after four months idleness,
caused by strikes. they have resumed
operations and are working with
"French operatives, who have proved
equal, il not superior, TO native
American workmen." Iaughter.] He
also called attention TO the statement OF
the workmen employed by an Indiana
manufacturer, eulogized by Mr.. Sherman,
to the effect that the gentlemen had i'm
ported foreign workmen 10 supplant
Americans. He reviewed in an amusing
manner the history OF this "infant indus
try" from its birth in 1889. and said he
hoped the day would soon come when the
American wOrkingman would see that he
was being used as a dupe by men whose
professions of protecting" him were
merely pretext for leyying taxes.
The bill went over.

the construction OF steam-launches for use
in the harbors Of Galveston and Mobile, to
purchase such launches already built. Re-
ferred to the Committee on Commerce.
Mr.. Davis, OF West Virginia, presented
a report OF the committee OF conference on
the agricultural appropriation bill, which
was agreed TO.
The post-oiiice appropriation bill was
taken up. Mr.. Plumb, in charge of the
bill, explained it.
Mr.. Davis, OF West Virginia, called his
attention to the item of S1S5,000 "for ne
cessary and special facilities on trunk lines
OF railway" and asked an explanation Of it.
Mr. Plumb explained that it was simply
intended to keep up the existing service,
and i'm this connection he sent up and had
read letter from the superintendent OF the
railway mail service explaining in detail
the faSt-mail service, and stating that the
appropriation was expended now as fol-
lows: Between New York and Springfield,
Mass, S17,747; between New York and
Albany, $4,000, between Philadelphia and

numbers $1Sj,00O. The letter also recon-
mends that il a similar appropriation be
made at this session it should be for the
continuation OF the existing service for the
