The British Will Stay, and VIII Resist M
vasion of Lower Egypt.
LONDON Jan THE decision reached by the
government yesterday as to the policy. to be
adopted toward Egypt was final and complete
The Cabinet spent the entire week discussing the
situation in a series of conferences and investi-
cations On Saturday four conferences were
held-the first at the Foreign Office, the second
at the office of the Admiralty, and the third at
the War Office. At the conclusion of the War
Office meeting the Cabinet resumed at the For
eign Office the session which was broken off ear
lier in the day for the purpose of nquiring into
the nations military condition After pro-
longed discussion it was resolved to adopt the
policy heretofore outlined by Mr.. Gladstone
and which Sir Evelyn Barring, present
British agent in Egypt strongly urged in
the long cable conference which the Cabinet had
carried on with him during the day Three
official dispatches are known to have been sent
at the conclusion of the session The first as
sured the Khedive that England would main
tain her position in Egypt The second guar
anteed the Khedive that England would under
take to resist any attempt at the invasion OF .
Lower Egypt by Ell Mahdi, but stated that this
guarantee meant no more than that England
to the Soudan, and must not be construed as
promising any assistance in resisting those
operations. so long as they were not an actual
attack on Egypt proper. The third instructed
the British consul at Massowah to notify the
King of Abyssinia that England would not ap-
troops in the Soudan, and would resent any at
tack upon Egyptian troops which might be oper-
atlng in that region to maintain the authority Of
the khedive as an attack upon England.

SILVER DOLLARS.
Henri Cemuschi Indorses the Measure offered
by Judge Kelley.


Washington Special.
Henri Cernuschi of France, has written to
Judge Kelley indorsing his bill recently intro
duced in Congress to limit further the coinage of
silver dollars. Cernuschi is an unqualified bull
ionist author of the phrase bmetalsm, and for
many years has been devotng himself to the
promotion of the universal monetization of
silver on the basis of Is 1-2 of silver and l of
gold. Upon receipt of Judge Kelley's bill and
his explanation of it in a published interview
Mr.. Cernuschi wrote as follows under date of
Paris, Dec 20:
Dear Friend-The New York Times of the
fth has reached me. Your explanation of the
effect the passage of your bill for the further
limitation of the coinage of silver dollars would
have on the commerce of England is complete
The leading editorial in the paper denies your as
sumption of the effect to be produced in England
by such limitation; but, be this as it may, the
coinage of silver dollars which no other nation
will receive as money is mistake As for the
English future, we will see. Think it will prove
that the gold sentimentalist of the New York
Times is himself i'll error. Silver is as fit to be
coined into money as gold and certainly exists
in greater volume than gold. If mankind had to
choose a single metal as money the preference
should be given to silver, because of the superior
volume of that metal, which would be sufficient
for all nations, while gold is an insufficient mass
or volume Money requires the element of in
destructibility. If it is to be deprived of
the attribute of indestructibility, paper money
is as good as metallic money and has the ad-
vantage of costing nothing in comparison with
the other. Consider the relative cost of storing
paper money and an unlimited amount of Bland
dollars. You, my dear friend, are protection
ist, and in a certain measure all the American
people are protectionists and rightly. But not
to the point of converting into forced legal tender
a metal the value of which is not maintained by
competition from abroad. Such gift made by
the National Treasury to particular interest
cannot be justified under the the name of protec
ton Silver longer being an international
monetary metal, if the United States persists in
coming it into silver dollars in order to protect
the silver producer, there is no reason why the
same protection should not be given to the pro-
ducers of copper. Let copper be purchased by
the United States, in order to coin copper dollars
as protection to the copper industry. Could
elaborate the above thought in good English, the
argument would make a sensation.
Yours faithfully HENRI CERNUsCHI"

Huntington on His Way to Washington
Fears of an Investigation.
Washington Special.
G. P. Huntington, the railroad king has en-
gagged quarters at Wormley's, and will soon be in
the city for the purpose of consulting with Sher-
rell; his white -whiskered, long, lank dyspeptic
lieutenant. Huntington does not seem to COM
prehend the full effect of his published CORE
spondence. Sherrell understands the situation,
however, and it is understood that he mas given
Huntington to understand that there is not much
use in trying to do business in Washington this
winter. Since the letters have been printed
there has been a regular panic among members
and senators. The virtuOus indignation that is
expressed in every quarter BODIES i'll for Hunting
ton, it is more than probable that if he should
attempt to speak to the average senator or repre-
sentative the latter would start on dead run to
get away. There is an uneasy feeling among
some of the older members and senators who
were in Congress at the period Of these letters
One Western senator said tonight: my God.
what protection is there against this mani How
do know but what this creature may have
called on me some time, and because I did not
kick him out of my room he may have gone off
and written one of his - letters saying that
was friendly to him." The Senator added that
he thought the only safety for public man was
not to admit men with axes to grind He said:
81 don't intend to see a single man who wants to
talk about railroads or land grants. The minute
one of these cusses opens his mouth to me on
such a subject will tell him to get up and get"
1t is understood that Huntington is trying to
bring pressure to bear upon Cobbs public land
committee, to see if the action of that committee
upon the Texas Pacific land grant cannot be de-
layed. Huntington and his crowd do not expect
to obtain any favorable action from this Con
gress-that is too much for even Huntington to
negative action until the scandal has at least
blown over.

BISHOP RYAN,s UTTERANCEs.
Remarks Indicating the Churchs Attitude
Toward the Irish Nationalisis.

LONDON, Jan. THE Rt, Rev Patrick John
Ryan, bishop of St. Louis, who has just returned
from Italy and France, preached on Sunday in
Dublin. In his sermon he said that in Ireland
religion and patriotism had been, unfortunately,
pitted against each other, but the church had
triumphed as in the end it always did. He as
sured his hearers that this triumph would result
in their ultimate good, because the clergy whose
duty it was to guide the people, loved them TOO
well to deceive them by fiattery or to in any way
inculcate such false and dangerous principles as
would lead them to certain destruction. The
people should strictly follow the advice given
them by their pastors. Their first duty to
the church, which would always remove peril
Gus doubts and point out the true and loyal
course. Bishop Ryans remarks are considered
very significant, as it is believed they are the
first utterances since the recent conferences
which indicate the present attitude of the church
toward Nationalist agitation
