THE FATE OF EGYPT.
Statement of Minister Ferry to the
Chamber of Deputies,

In the Chamber OF Deputies Prime Minister
Ferry has made the following statement; 'Since
1883, France has been quite inactive so far as
Egypt is concerned, inasmuch as she declined
to take part in the Brit sh expedition. 1t is too
late now to think of reviving the scheme Of
condominium. 1t is altogether impossible.
Egypt is neither French nor English. Her fate
is a matter of concern to all Europe, and what
it is to be will always be European question.
Mr.. Gladstone's government recognized this
fact, and was the first to propose the neutraliza-
ton of Egypt. France has the best chance pos
sible to settle the questio with the Gladstone
cabinet. 1t is necessary that harmony be main
tanned with the two nations whose accord is so
important to the peace and liberty of the world
1t is necessary also to limit the English occu-
patton of Egypt, but France has no intention of
substituting French occupation therefor.

Last Tuesday evening there was q grand

Hon. G. W. Cassidy. AS usual, the
speaker acquitted himself we'll, and made
a logical and forcible speech, in which he
analyzed the issues of the day in a clear
and comprehensive argument. Not hav-
ing been in attendance I have taken pains
to ascertain the sentiment OF the public
regarding Mr.. Cassidy's speech, and l
ind that Republicans as we'll as Demo
Gratis gave him credit for delivering the
ablest and most convincing speech OF the

iority than he received two years ago, n

Porter, formerly Superintendent of the K
K mine in this district, is q candidate for
the Colorado Legislature from La Plata
county. Mr.. Porter's friends here are
somewhat surprised to hear of his political
aspiration, but they wish him success
They feel that while he would be gratitied
by election, the people of Colorado would
secure the services of a most valuable man
for her Legislature. Mr.. Porter is a gentle
man OF splendid scholastic attainments,
and has made mining, in practice and the
DRY, a study for many years.. with this
industry he is as familiar, practically and
theoretically as any man on the Coast
Mining, in Colorado, as in Neveda. Is the
chief industry, and comes in for very in
telligent consideration when the laws are
being made. In this department es-
p~ecially Mr.. Porter could be of great SER
vice TO u neighbors in their Legislature
We are satisfied that il he is sufficiently
we'll known he will be etecied. The Sen.

Ed. SENTINEL: l have a bet, and sew
eral others nave similar bets in town, on
the result of the election in Ohio. The
bets are that the Republican candidate
would, or would not, get such and such a
majority. Suppose the result should be, as
present reports indicate. that Robinson
has no majority of the total vote cast, who
will win and who will lose? INQUIRER.
1t appears to us hat the decision will
rest upon what was meant by the word
majority" There were four candidates
in the field for the Office referred to,
among whom Robinson obtained what ID
termed in political parlance the plural
ity," but failed to get what ia termed in
the samo parlance the majority" In de-
fining the word majority" with this ref
erence, Webster says: 1t is 'the number by
which the votes for a successful candidate
exceeds those for other candidates" In
this case, Robinson, not having received
more votes than those Of the other candi.
dates cannot well be said to have got a
majority Had the bets been whether
| Robinson would, or would not, be elected.
or that he would, or would not, get a
| greater number OF votes than his oppo-
nent, Newman, the proposition would be
quite different. In determining the bets,
however, much will reasonably depend on
what the gentlemen meant when they
made their bets.

San Francisco, Oct. 21.-The excitement
over the assignment of A. w. Bowman,
capitalist and real estate agent, keeps in
creasing. From 500, 900, which was at
first supposed to be about the amount
misappropriated, the amount has crept up
until it is now believed, this morning. that
it will reach close to 81, 900, 900. The fact
that the defalcation may reach this amount
does not seem to create as much astonish-
ment as did the first announcement that
he had made an assignment. The people
don't seem TO understand how one 80
trusted, and who, during 80 many years,
had faithfully administered the business
interests of others, should have gone
wrong. The immediate cause Of the
assignment was that Joseph Belden,
at present in Paris, drew on him
for S13, 900, for rents and interests due
almost Immediately after. Bowie, also in
Europe, drew ON him for $40, 900. Bowman
could not meet these demands. This
forced from him the acknowledgment of
the conditions of his affairs and led to his
making an assignment. Who the losers
are cannot yet be accurately determined,
as the assignee still refuses to make any,
thing public until all matters have been
thoroughly sifted, but it is now thought,
in addition to Mrs. Bowie and Josiah Bel
den that Henry L. Breed, formerly a
stockbroker here. now living in Boston,
may be a loser to the extent of a quarter
of a million dollars. Steps will probably
be taken to have the assignment set aside
and a receiver appointed for the estate.

White Pine News: So far as developed,
the Stafford strike is a big thing. Such a
discovery on the Comstock would, in 9 few
days, advance the waning securities Of
that famous lode many millions of dol
lars. But being in White Pine it causes
not a rifle of excitement in the mining
world. But this will not long continue.
When the shining bullion goes streaming
into market from the company's mill,
which it most assuredly will mex Summer,
the old-time fame of Treasure Hill will
