The soudan Trouble ExpIained.

In the first place, England has an Immense
interest In the Suez Canal and In the safety OF
transit through 1t. She Is also bound To protect
The thousands OF her subjects who are estab
lished In Egypt In commerce or IN the pur.
suit OF health or study. Moreover, her people
long ago loaned 10 the ruler Of Egypt vast
sum or money, and when his extravaganza
and bad management had brought the treas
ury Of that country into a condition OF bank.
ruptcy, England, and France with her, inter
vened TO look after the payment OF this debt.
Next followed the rebellion Of Arab Pasha,
who undertook 10 eSpel tho ruling family
IRON Egypt and all foreigners with them.
England invited France TO Join her In send-
lpg troops TO put down Arabrs uprising.
france declined, and England alone sent a
iieet and an army for that purpose; and ever
since then che has had TO maintain military
force In the country to preserve The govern
ment she had thus saved from destruction. In
pursuit OF this end she first sent Gordon TO the
Soudan, and has now sent Wolseley there with
his forces. These operations, from the begin
Ding until now, have been conducted by tho
British Government with great deal OF vacil-
lation and uncertainty; nut their essence 10

TERRIBLE FIoHT WITH LIoNEss. - The
great lioness in the Winter Circus here attack
ed Edward Williams, the lion tanner, while he
was putting her through her regular perfor-
nance in the cage last night The scene at
once threw the vast audience into horror, and
for time the people were spellbound. Will
Jams made most desperate struggle, and the
fight between him and the enraged beast last
ed for some minutes, during which he was
terribly laoerated, the lioness bounding about
the cage, bowling with rage. The circus at
tendants who ran to Wlliamss assistance with
iron bars and pronRs, while they finally sue
ceeded in saving his life, goaded the lioness
to such ferocity that her actions threw the
spectators into panic and they rushed pell-
nell from the place, the men crushing the
women and children down, and in many cases
passing over them. During all this excite
ment the lion tanner preserved his self control
and gradually neared the gate of the cage, his
person torn and mangled and bleeding from
innumerable wounds. At favorable mo-
ment the door was opened and Williams quick
ly slipped out and sprung il behind him. The
moment he touched the ground he sank down
from exhaustion into prolonged swoon. He
had to be removed to a hospital, where his
injuries were pronounced very serious. Par

Miss CLEvEDAND's FIRST RECEPTION. The
sisters of President Cleveland began their
social duties by a reception at the White
House Saturday afternoon. All the arrange
ments were as different as possible from those
that have been in order during the old re-
gime, and many accustomed to the ways of
tue house under President Arthur hardly.
knew the place. Miss Cleveland and her sis
ter received in the large east room. Equality
and democratic principles were observed by
making all those who came fall in line, and
the cue thus formed stretched from the por-
too to the western gate. At the hour for
the opening of the reception wives of sena-
tors and congressman, nieces OF past Presi-
dents and distinguished Democrats took their
places at the end of the line and slowly work
ed their way into the mansion. The arrange
ment did not suit all, and many even Of the
democratic faith drove away without leaving
their carriages rather than stand at the end
of long line. Others preferred the air and
elbow room of line out Of doors to the all
around jam OF 1000 or 2000 people crOwding
into the house at once. Marshal McMichael
made the presentations and Miss Cleveland
gave a pleasant greeting to each visitor. Mrs
Hoyt of Albany, and Mrs. Bacon of Toledo,
O., two sisters of President Cleveland, and
the wife Of Rev. Mr.. Cleveland, tue Presi-
dents brother, stood with Miss Cleveland and
shook hands with the visitors. All of them
wore quiet and handsome dresses. There
were not as many of the old residents of Wash
ington, the survivors of Buohanan's day and
the conservators of democratic traditions, as
had been expected by those who went as look
ers-on. 1t is said that the unmarried sister of
the President, who will the social head Of the
White House for the next four years, has the
faculty of making herself agreeable to great
many people at once. Word comes from Al
oany that her memory for faces and names
Is remarkable. In Ave days just previous to
her departure from Albany she attended four
Teen different social entertainments, includ-
ing breakfasts lunoheons, dinner parties and
