LONDON. April s.-Lord salisbury has
scored triumph in the diplomatic contest
with Franco and Russia over the frman of
Investiture of the Khedive of Egypt. The
position has for n week past harassed and
perplexed the Foreign Office perhaps more
than even the Behring sea question ever
did. The Sultan stole march upon En-
glish diplomacy in sending q frman so
phrased as to exclude from the Egyptian
frontier the whole Sinai peninsula, and
part of the Red sea httoral. which were
coded to lsmail Pasha and have been held
b. Egypt for half century. Before
the firman was drafted the English
emD assador at Constantinople, alive to
the possibility of some action of this sort,
demanded that the document should not
introduce any question concerning the
frontier, and received assurance that the
frman would not touch the Khedive's
rights. When the Sultan's envoy, EyOub
Pasha. arrived at Cairo. the British minis
ter. Sir Evelyn Barring. suspecting some
duplicity, asked for copy of the dOcu-
ment, and when Eyoub Pasha refused to
communicate the contents of the frman
till after the investiture. Minister Bar
ing advised the Khedive not to proceed
with the ceremony. Eyoub Pasha then dis
closed the substance of the frman. the
nature of which had been known to. and
approved by, France and Russia before the
missive left Constantinople.
The consuls- general at Cairo Mt once

on leave were recalled TO their ships, in
GLIDING the admiral who was junketing at
Cairo. The British and Italian embassa-
doris ut COnstantinople sent joint note 10
the Grand Vizier, saying that the firman
must be altered or Ey CUB Pasha re-
called. Thore seems to have been

character of the note. and there was

Royal Baking Powder
has no Competitors.

In millions of homes throughout the United States
and around the world the fact has been recognized
by appreciatve housekeepers that there no other
leavening compound that can or does compete, on
the basis of purity and strength, with the Royal
Baking Powder.
Other compounds intended for baking purposes,
made without science, of poor materials, at a low
cost depend for their restricted sale upon the pa
tronage of those who will use greatly inferior
article if procurable at little lower price, upon
the recommendation of dealers whose selfinterest
urges the sale of goods yielding them the largest
profits.
ROYAL BAKING POWDER ONLY sells and deserves
to sell upon its merits alone.
