EGYPT'S GOVERNMENT.


Egypt is a principality and is tributary
to Turkey. The government is con-
Quoted by native ministers, subject to
the rulings of the Khedivc, and under
his supervision. From the accession OF
Tcwik, the rcigning Khediye, in 1879 to
1883, France and Great Britain exercised
a great influence in the conduct Of pub
lie affairs, because of their interests OF
a financial character which were in
volyed. In the military revolt in 1882
the people were strongly moved to re-
sist foreign interference or control, but
tho uprising was crushed by Great
Britain's forces, and, as France had
done little or nothing to aid in this,
that country failed to reap any results
when the reconstruction Of Egyptian
affairs came about. Tho Joint control of
France and Great Britain, which follow
ed the uprising of 1882, was succeeded
by the single and substantial control OF
affairs by Great Britain. The khedive
since then has on the recon-
mcndation of Great Britain, appointed a
European Chat is a BRITISH financial
adviser, who has a voice but no vote, in
the counsel of ministers, and has no
power in matters pertaining to internal
administrations. In 1854 m organic law
was promulgated by the khedivo Great,

tons based on popular suffrage, with the
end in view Of conducting the govern.

these only that which is called a legisla

sixteen are elected and fourteen are ap

THIEVES SETTING FIRES.

 Places Out of Revenge.

The Torch Applied In . Dozen Different
 Places Out of Revenge.
 MooREsTowN, N. J., April 25.-The recent criminal prosecutions against the timber thieves who have been rob- ping some of the most valuable tracts in Burlington, County, has resulted pretty much as the owners expected.
 Fires were started yesterday in a dozen different places on Gen. John s. Quick's three thousand acre tract in Southampton, and in a very short time a big forest fire was raging.
 There has been no rain in that sec tion for weeks, and the underbrush was as dry as tindsr, so that the flames spread rapidly.
 Couriers were sent in all directions to bring out the men to help fight the fire, which by midnight was beyond control. Backing fire was resorted to with good results in several instances, but occasionally these fires would break away and do great damage.
 The fire fighters worked all night long, and by this morning were utterly worn out.
 Several houses on the tract that wer 6 occupied by the woodmen were de- stroyed, and the occupants were forced to flee for their lives without being able to save any of their personal belong ings. Joseph Hinchman, J. Bowker and J. Ballinger have lost heavily. Large quantities of cord wood were destroyed.

Horrible Resalt of n Explosiun of vttriol

 CArAsAuouA, Pa, April 25-A fire in ths Unicorn Silk Manufacturing Com pany's mill at this place was followed by an explosion of vitriol and acid which destroyed the walls of the build ing and buried many of the hremen in the ruins. The fire was burning twenty min utes before help reached the mill, and with tho crude apparatus at hand little could be done to check the advance of the flames.
 The fremen worked hard to save the engine house and store rooms, and 1t was while engaged there that the ex- Plosion occurred. Immediately after the explosion the workmen turned their attention to their buried friends, and the following men were found to have been killed:
 ,3i John Good, killed by the falling dyer, crushed by the wall: Ulysses Everett and Charles Prick.
 Two others were killed whose bodies have not been recovered.
 The injured arc: George Pfaff, Wm. Price. Michael Moran, Wm. Fenster- macher, Thomas James George Fenchel, Peter Derhammsr and 12 others.
 The fire was probably caused by spon- taneous combustion in one of the pack ing rooms. The total loss on the build ing will reach over $10O, ,OO0; partly insured
 The works were conducted by the Unicorn Silk Manufacturing Company, of which John F. Degener of New York is president, William Kruse of New York secretary and Frank Hoffbausr of New York treasurer. The loss on the building, stock and machinery will reach $500, ,OOO.

 NEW ORLEANS, April 25.-The Point Pleasant levee, Tensas Parish, 23 miles below Vicksburg, broke last evening. It was 8 very important levee. Most of Tsnsas Parish will doubtless be flooded
 Superintendent Grant of the Texas & Pacific road says that $2O, COG, 900 worth of property will be irretrievably dam aged by tho break in the Morganza levee. The people ought to have spent $500, 900 in saving the levse rather than let it break and then make . great fuss about sending relief.
 Every plantation in Pointe Coupee Parish has been flooded from the Bayou Sara break. Hundreds of families are homeless. All the levees are broken. Thousands of cattle have been drowned It is probable that many persons in tho interior have perished.
 The relief steamer Dacotah found groups of scores of people, whites and blacks, some with babies in their arms. the broken levees. The steamer gath cred them in. Many starving cattle were passed.
 A family named Luke, consisting of fifteen persons, were rescued by the Dacotah. They owned large planta- tion, . well-flled store and 100 head of stock. A orevasse sixty feet wide oc- cured right in front of their house and the flood destroyed all their pro- perty. The family narrowly escaped, but managed to reach tho lsvee above the break. Many similar tales are heard.
 When the Dacotah reached Bayou Sara she had 1000 head of cattle and 800 people aboard. After landing them she started on another relief trip.
 President Glynn, of tho Police Jury, says thirteen parishes will be over dowed in that district.

IT has been found that steel ships possess magnetism that is permanent, and this has, in some instances, greatly affected the needle. The magnetism seems to be acquired during building.
