Ell Mahdi,s Holy War.

A London dispatch of the 4th says the
ministry were again in consultation to-day
over the perilous situation in Egypt. Mr..
Gladstone and his colleagues fully acknOWl-
edge that the relations between England
and Egypt are strained nearly to the utmost
point of tension. They discussed the note
sent by the Khedive's government, which
insists that the present state Of things in
Egypt cannot continue, and asks that a
final decision be given upon the question:
whether England will help Egypt to defend
the SOudan against the False Prophet. Ii
England refuses the assistance asked by
Egypt, the Khedive and his ministers have
determined that Turkey must take or sur
render the Eastern Soudan, and that they
will reduce the tribute to the Ottoman
Porte. The position is that the Khedive
gives up the upper country, extending to
DOngOla and Berber, and invites England
or Turkey to take it, if either of the two
powers proposes to drive out the False
Prophet. The Egyptian troops would then
be concentrated somewhere about Wady
Halfah, at the second cataract of the Nile,
thus giving force of about 5000 men to
defend the new frontier without the aid
of the English army. Sir Evelyn Barring,
the English representative in Egypt, thinks
that such number could not hold the
proposed border line, and his opinion is re-
infOrced by the views of other military ex-
perts, all of whom state that if the Khe-
dive is not assisted by European forces the
False Prophet may push his way into
Cairo. The other European powers, how
ever. are not regardless of the menace of a
tremendous Mohammedan instruction
under the stimulus of Ell Mahdi'S sue
cesses. 1t is reported in Paris that the
powers are about to address note to Eng
land. asking what measures she intends to
adopt for the protection of their respective
subjects in Egypt. The French govern
ment has sent to M. Camille Barriere, the
French diplomatic agent at Cairo, precise
instructions upon the subject. The Khe-
dive is endeavoring to economic expenses.
The English officials at Cairo have agreed
to reduction of their salaries, and the
cabinet officers are expected to do like
wise. The saving thus effected is esti-
mated at se44S,000 annually, which can be
devoted to the army and for domestic pur-
poses.
A despatch from Alexandria says !: The
vanguard of Ell Mahdi's army has arrived
at Elain, on the Blue Nile. The populace
of the island of Massowah have destroyed
the dixie uniting the island with the main
land.
A correspondent at Cairo says he hears
that Chinese Gordon, who is now on his
way to Congo river to succeed Henry M.
Stanley, has received proposals which may
induce him to accept an appointment in
Egypt.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.

New YORK, April IA few of the leaders
appeared to think this morning that it was
about time to make demonstration against
the bears and among the Vanderbilt proper
ties, Lake Shore being the selection. 1t was
marked up about 2 per cent in short
order. The next most important movement
was in Delaware 81 Lackawanna and West
Shore bonds. The advance in the balance
was trifing. The market was quite active
for time, with well distributed business
among the leading stocks. Western Union
rose to 69Ac later in the day. 1t
was rumored there was uneasiness
among holders of Wabash general
mortgage bonds. Northern Pacific preferred
continues to be worth a small premium for
use. There was not much doing in the
stock, however: Alton sold at 135115@136.
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy showed weak
ness and there was bad break in Missouri
Pacific. Mr.. Gould's favorites appeared to be
least sustained. Their action caused much
comment, rallies occurred in the closing
moments, which caused stocks to look quite
firm, when business closed.

The Situation in Cincinnati

CINCINNATI, April Everything is quiet

gone home, and the others will be Withdrawn
by degrees. The feeling is bitter by all
parties, against the militia, on account of
their reckless shooting. The citizens are de-
termined to elect men to Office, irrespective
of party, who will give good government.
The murderers will be prosecuted as soon as
possible, and from the present feeling the
opened in the library building, and the lost
documents are being replaced by duplicates
as much as possible. The streets are still
barricaded, and within the limits none are
allowed, unless they have passes.
