UNHAPPY EGYPT.

lNuAlIl EpllI'
Says a London despatch of Mar.
2lst: The arrest of Iebehr Pasha |
continues to agitate official circles. |
The papers seized Mt Iebehr Pasha's
residence prove that Egypt is fairly |
honey-combed with conspiracies.
Their ramilications extend from |
slavc-drivers to confidential Minis |
tiers. The tone of some of the letters |
would indicate that FL Mahdi, or |
even Arab Pasha, was more the
actual ruler of Egypt than the khe
dive, Tcwlill Pasha. Sir Evelyn
Barring, the British representative
at Alexandria, is believed to be
appalled, by this terrible confrma-
ton to his own suspicious. He still
believes, however, that the arrest of
Zebehr was wisely ordered and will
serve to put the other conspirators
on their good behavior.
DE LrssErs on TIE PANAMA CANAL.
A Paris despatch of March 2lst
saws: De Lcsseps denies the re-
ports from New York, to the effect
that work along the Panama Canal
has resulted in failure. De Lesseps
SAYS his son, Victor. after having
visited Panama. and made Il thor
ough investigation of operations
along theline of the canal writes:
"Pour moi le canal est tdH. No
contractors, says De Lesscps, have,
rs has been reported. stopped
work because the canal COM
pany have failed to supply
them with money, although one
American contractor was refused
payment for work because he had
failed to comply with the conditions
of the contract. Il have no fears,
says De Lesseps, ''of any stoppage
of work on the canal because of
war in Central America"
THE REST OF THE WOMEN.
A remarkable petition against
woman suffrage was lately presented
in the New York Senate. \ San
correspondent says: 1t is signed
by the most fashionable and wealthy
women in and around Murray Hill,
whose names call to mind host of
distinguished merchants, bankers or
professional men, Knickerbocker
families, leaders in society and mil
lionaires. Among the signers are
the wives of Eugene Dutilh, John
Lee Carroll, Alfred Ogden. G.. B.
Ogden, G.. A. Camman, Morgan
Dix, Augustus Jay, Delaney Kane,
F. X. Sturges, Frederick Chauncy.
Frank Work and Baynard Cutting.
The ladies who got this petition
signed evidently went from house to
house, for the names of all the women
in certain households follow one
another. They told Senator Otis
that it seemed to them that every
year the women suffragists get more
and more attention simply because
they are persistent, while the great
mass of women have refrained from
making themselves heard.

United States Government to prose-
cute the persons who had published
