U Egypt. d uiSpatcQ winch gives Mucu
satisfaction to both Berlin and Vienna
states that the porte is being urged to re-
viye the controversy regarding England's
position in Egypt. An uneasy feeling has
been created at the British foreign office by
this news, but in view of the entente be-
tween Russia and France, it is well re-
ceived at Berlin and Vienna, as it is well
understood at both places that such a step
will again compel England to take an ac-
tive part in the Eastern question, Russia
embroiled with England would be unable to
pursue course hostile to Australian inter-
ests with which she is credited by the ex-
tremely alarmist politicians Of Vienna, and
the Central European powers might stand
quietly by until they saw their way to in
fere with advantage to themselves.
Lord Salisbury refused to see
in the Dardanelles incident anything iRs
imical to the interests of England, and
has very liberal views regarding the lati-
tude which may be permitted to Russia in
respect to Turkey, so long as England
keeps her foothold in Egypt.
AUTUMN CAMPAIGN.
Active preparations are going on at Con-
sentative headquarters, London, for the
autumn campaign. The demand for speak
ers is very great, and the supply in the per-
sons at all events of enterprising and am
bilious young barristers is equal to the de-
mand The energies of the leading men Of
the party will be SOrely taxed. Balfour
has been compelled to decline many press-
ing invitations, but even as it is, he will
visit many parts Of The United Kingdom
during the autumn. Salisbury'S public ap-
pearances are also expected to be frequent,
and there is probably hardly member of
the government, from the highest to the
lowest, whose engagement list for the cam
paign is not already exceptionally full.
Liberal Unionist leaders will be equally
active, and there is no doubt that both sec
lions of the ministerialist party will make
desperate struggle in the next foue
months to regain the ground they have LOST.
Everything would seem to indicate thpt the
coming fall campaign, which begipS early
in October, is to be the final camraignsbe-
fore the general election, and it Is impos-,
sible to doubt that if a material change "
the upShot OF their efforts, that they haze
gained ground in constituencies, thagendkaf
elections will be precipitated. 1t can be
said upon direct information that some of
the Conservatives in London have been
warned from headquarters that they must
be prepared before the expiration of recess
to put forth all their energies in waking up
their supporters in the constituencies.
TO THE WORLDS FAIR.
Arrangements are now complete for the
polytechnic excursion to the Worlds fair
at Chicago. The party, which will include
chanics, clerks and school teachers, will go
straight to New York. A day will be spent
in Philadelphia and 4 day Washington, and
there will be weeks stay in Chicago. The
return journey will be made through Buffalo
with a visit to Niagara Falls, after which
one Canadian city, probably Toronto, will
be visited, and from there the party will
move or to Albany, whence Hudson river
steamer will be chartered to New York
The whole cost of the trip, which will occupy
from five to six weeks, will be twenty
guineas to each person.
VERY MUCH UNSETTLED.
English newspapers are very much I'M
settled in their references to the ChineUo5
trouble and in giving opinions as to what
should be done by the British government
However, the feeling is growing that some
thing must be done. 1t is believed that il
any further outbreaks occur England will
send q number of light draft gunboatS from
those now in use on the Irawaddy river
which will be able to navigate the Yellow
river and be sufficiently formidable to awe
the inhabitants. 1t is said it is likely that
in case Of hostilities it will be found practi-
cable to impress into service light merchant
steamers, equipping them with men and
guns. These would really be more useful
under present conditions of Chinese waters
than large men-of-war.
STRIKE GROWING.
Inc COCK SLrlko grows III proportions and
there are 300 men now out. There is
prospect that the Docker's union will make
a formal demand upon the Lighterman's
union and Garments union to order strikes in
sympathy with the lockers. Tomorrow
mass-meeting will be held in Victoria park,
which promises to be a big affair. Burns,
Mann and Tillett besides a host Of lesser
lights in the labor world will address the
meeting.
sALvATIoNIsTs.
It is expected that another row
will occur at Eastborne, to-mor-
row, as the Salvation army leaders
have announced their intention to
disregard the orders of the town authorities
and indulge in their usual parade. Street
fights between Salvationists and roughs of
have been going on all sum-
mer. The local authorities seem utterly
incapable of preserving order. 1t looks as
if some law would have to take hand in
the affair before lawless outbreaks are
thoroughly stamped out.
CABLE NOTES.
Max Schneitz, who shot and wounded his
brother-in-law, Professor Prayer, at Berlin
a few days ago. has been arrested at E'lens-
burg with the correspondence Of Mrs.
Prayer. His sister, who is said by the Do
lice to have been the instigator of the at
tempt at murder, has been sentenced by ]
the authorities. This fact has caused ~
little CONSERVATION among number of her
male friends. who fear that the letters will
become public, in which event some char
acters now clear will, it is conjectured, be-
come obscured.
