The Khediyo's opinIon.

CAIRO, Feb. 9.--In an interview to.
day tho Khedive said he believed Gen.
Gordon still alive, MS El Mahdi is too
wise man to kill him. El Mahdi had
no interest in wishing Gordon dead, but
on the contrary would do all in his
power to prevent such an occurrence.
Instant action on the part of England,
he said, is necessary to prevent further
progress of El Mahdi's cause and avert
new disasters. The abandonment o. the
Soudan by England, under the present
circumstances, would be grave mis-
take. Tribes hitherto friendly to Great
Britain would now join I'll Mahdi, and
If England does not take immediate
steps to crush him this influence may
seriously threaten the stability OF the
British Empire in Egypt.
