Prisons in Egypt.
(From The London Telegraph.

ltTom the London Telegraph.1
The following extract in reference to
Egyptian prisons is from letter re-
ceived by Mr.. Charles Cook from Mr..
Clifford Lloyd. s'Prisoners are being
relieved as quickly as possible, though
it has been with great difficulty that any
lists OF them have been procured showing
the charges. I found some prisoners in
jail charged with theft, pending trial,
for six years and nine months; many for
over five years also. Believe me, that
all my sympathies are with this down.
trodden and oppressed people. Wehave
already done great deal for them. They
are not liable now to be imprisoned at
the will of the Mudir, and are not sub.
ject, as before, to the extortion of older
days. There is much yet to be done,
need not say, and our difficulties are
many and great, but with patience
have no doubt that all these will be over
come" Mr.. Cook, whe.has just returned
from e visit to the prisons OF Egypt,
states: 'It was no uncommon thing to
find the water used for drinking pur-
poses kept in the latrine and cesspool
under the room where the prisoners
slept. At Zagazig, in prison seventy
two yards square, there were seventy
two men sleeping, and at Benha there
had been an epidemic of typhoid fever.
But this is not the worst. Over l,4OO
prisoners we found in prison who were
untried. On my return to Cairo wrote
to the authorities and to His Highness
the Khedive, praying that the cases of
these men might be seen into at once or
else discharged, as DIR. Cruickshanks
had informed me that most of them had
served the maximum term of their i'm
prisonment had they been tried and
found guilty; but, as he declared, 'very
many Of them have been falsely accused.
I am glad to say that, three days after
our petition was sent in,' l2D were re-
leased, and this was to continue till all
were set nj ibertY.n

THE SITUATION ABROAD.


LONDON, May 15.-An agent of the
Associated Press this morning called up.
on leading London bankers having i'm
portant American connections, with a
view of learning the opinions concerning
the panic, in Wall Street. The feeling
generally expressed is one of confidence
that the panic should be considered mere
~ local. They were positive it would
occasion no failures in London,
whether inside or outside OF
the Stock Exchange. The general
soundness of the financial situation
here, is evidenced by the fact that there
has not even been rumors of large fail
ures. The remarkable decline in Ameri-
can securities during the past few days
attracted new class of investors into
the market, who are stimulated already
by the cheapness of money in England,
Germany and France. A prominent
banker SAID it is amazing how little real
stock is being sold here, but he said the
bear sales were immense. The market
shows strong disposition to respond to
anything favorable from America.
The participation of bank officers in
fraudulent schemes is severely censured.
This one thing has done more thar any
thing else to weaken public confidence.

How They Vote in Mexico.
lCroffut,s Mexico Letter.

MEXICO Letter.l
This country may be said to be a lin.
tied Republican is, everybody is en-
titled to vote but nobody votes. Thatis
next to nobody. By law, all permanent
residents-Spaniards, Americans, Ital-
ians, Germans, Indians. negroes, mulat-
toes, meztizoes and zamboes-can vote
on arriving at 81 years Of age. There is
no secret ballot, but each one must be
signed with the voters name and resi-
dence.
In the country there is voting place
near every hacienda. In this city there
are twenty-five of these precincts-on
for each 0.000 Of the population. The
voting offices are called casillass elect
orales Qittle houses for election). Each
precinct is presided over by Judge aud
two clerks. Just before election day the
supervisor sends to each qualified voter
paper called the boleta, stating that a
president is to be chosen, and instruct
ing the recipient how and where to vote.
The latter writes on the back of the bo-
leta two names of gentleman whom he
thus designates as electors from his state,
signs his name, goes to the polls, and
drops it the box.
AThis is what he may do, I mean, but
it is also what he doesn't do. Probably
not one man in hundred in Mexico re-
ally votes for president. It goes by de.
fault, for some reason that I have not
distinctly ascertained. If everybody did
vote, according to his honest prefer
ences, I don't know what might happen.
Sometimes they say) the distant haci.
endado, or the absent haciendado's man .
ager, wishing to stand well in the eyes
of the coming president, and moved by
that fervent gratitude which is lively
sense of fayors expected, collects the
boletas which have been received by the
numerous poems who work his lordly
acres, and generously goes to the casilla
and deposits them. Eometimes, when
the Indifference Of city is too unani-
nous to look well in the returns, regi-
ment of soldiers are disguised in citizens
clothes, it is said, and marched to the
casilla, where they solemly deposit their
compound boleta.

talked with aSfinancier q Of, thirty five

ably. He does not anticipate further
