THE EGYPTIAN QUESTION.
An Anglo-Freneh Control Agreed
Upon,

LONDON, May 27.-The Pail Mall Gazette
says France asked that before the meeting of
the proposed conference England should con-
sent to place Egypt under international con-
troll. Granville objected while the British
military occupation of Egypt should CON
tinue At that France asked that the dura-
ton of English occupation should be limited,
and renewed its demand for immediate in
ternational control. Granville named five
years as the minimum for English occupa-
ton, and insisted on the postponement of
the proposed international control until after
the English had withdrawn But France
steadfastly adhered to her previous demand,
until at last Granville offered to consent to
the principle of multiple control, provided it
should be disguised. France accepted
this, caring little for the shadow but anxious
for the substance France is now trying to
limit the English occupation to three years.
The Gazette denounces the scheme of multi
pie control, however it may be disguised. 1t
says, however that the cabinent has decided
TO accept the French proposal, and will evac-
uate Egypt within the desired period, and al
low an international board supreme authority
over Egyptian finances.
The sultan has refused to send 10000
troops to the Soudan to cooperate with the
English.

gaunt and hungry cat made her appearance
Oh the scaffolding where the workmen stand,
having climbed the winding flight of stairs
from the bottom. She looked wildly about
her for few moments, and then gave leap
into space. Four hundred and thirty four
feet is a good deal of a jump, but she landed
on the ground alive, making the greatest
leapon record. The monument will be raised
until it reaches height of 555 fet, when it will
be the tallest structure in the world. The great
pyramid is 4SU feet, and the spire of ths
cathedral at Cologne is SO. They are the
highest structures now standing. An eleva.

in about nine minutes, but most people are q

CINCINNATI, May 27.-The Enquirer's
Washington City special says: Senator Vest
says that the nomination of Tilden is abso-
lutely sure. He cited as one reason for this
belief that every state, or parts of states
that have held conventions to select dele
gates to the Chicago convention thus far.
with the single exception of Kentucky,
have openly declared in favor of the
nomination of "the old ticket"
He expressed the opinion that the defeat of
the Morrison tariff bill would cut no figure
whatever in the national convention, and
gave as reason that every one of the four
teen members of congress from Missouri
voted with Morrison ON his bill, and all of
them had expressed the belief that Tilden
would be the nominee, and that he should be.
He felt confident that the Missouri delegation
would be solid for tue old ticket

Outlook by a Special.
Aiidan the Coming Democrat, with
RooksSaiter and Morrison Spoken
OF for second ksIaee-The
Sagess Health.

CHICAGO, May 37-The Journals Wash
ington City special says: The presidential
problem continues to attract much attention
here. But very little over week now re
malns before the gathering at Chicago
which is to decide upon the Republican
standard bearer, for the coming campaign.
Each of the candidates seems to have had
his boom. First it was Logan, then Blaine,
and now Arthur. Lincoln has doomed all
the way along as the vice presidential candl-
date and it is possible, if not more than that,
that the presidential boom may follow upon
the heels of the one now strongest. At pres
ent, however, President Arthur seems to be
upon the crest of the wave of popularity
President Arthur will go over to New
Y ork toward the end of the week. for final
canvass of the situation with his friends, and
in response to an appeal that he speak on
Decoration day will do So
On the Democratic side all eyes turn to-
ward Tilden. Scarcely another name is
mentioned when the presidency is talked
Of The unanimity with which he is de-
manded as leader for thai party in the
coming campaign is quite remarka-
bic. Mr., Cassidy, of Nevada, who Wis
tied him recently, insists upon his be-
lief that Mr.. Tilden will ba a candidate, and
will gladly accept the nomination, If this be
ture there seems no doubt of the result, for all
others mentioned are in the contingency that
Mr.. Tilden will not consent to be a candi-
date Talk to any Democrat about the
prospects and he will say at once
| "If Tilden will accept he will doubt
| less be the candidate; it not we will
| have to look elsewhere" There is an effor

| New York and some other states upon Cleve
land as second choice in casa Mr.. Tlden i
not candidate; and really it looks as though
| that gentieman's chances were equally a
| good as those of any other candidate name,
after Tilden.
| For the second place Mr.. Bookwalter';
name continues to receive considerable at
tention. The fight in Indiana between Hen
| bricks and Mcdonald is so bitter that ther
is a serious doubt of the propriety o
putting Hendricks again on the ticke
with Tildsn. Mr.. Bookwalter, bein
an Indiana man by birth and educa
ton, resident and business man of Ohio,

in education and business experience he i
looked upon by many people as esse ntiall.
