AMID THE PYRAMIDS.
E. O. LITTLE APPOINTED CONSUL
TO CAIRO.
The President Gives the Important
Office to the Young Crowd of Kan.
sas-many oongratulatory Tele-
grams Received.

Yesterday noon L. @. Little left for
Kansas City. As the train was leav-
ing Lawrence the following telegram
was handed him:
To Edo. @, Little.
Care conductor eastbound u. z. train.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. is. -
President Harrison today appointed you
agent and consul general to Cairo,
JOHN W. FOSTER,
Secretary Of State.
The honor was a pleasant surprise
for although Mr.. Little had been
talked of for the place last June the
matter seemed to have been entirely
dropped.
Mr.. Little returned home this morn
ing and this afternoon his office table
was fairly loaded with congratulatory
kilograms from all parts of Kansas and
even from Washington, while the
recipient had dozens of callers who
came TO express their good wishes.
Some of the kilograms we're decidedly
apropos, as for instance this from J. X.
Cubbison and w. j. Morse, Wyandotte:
"Not only 40 centuries but Kansas
will watch your course. We watch
with the faith of Elijah" Or this
from b. X. Bruce, Leaven worth, "May
the record of 20 centuries bless you and
the X. S. u"
Asked Of his plans Mr.. Little said:
II have had mo time TO even collect
my thoughts on the appointment mat
ter. 1t is Of course an esteemed honor
to Kansas as well as to my self. very
highly appreciate the kindly feelings
with which the young men of Kansas,
and the older men too for that matter,
have urged my appointment. 1t is a
great satisfaction to feel that mans
neighbors wish him well. l shall sim
cerely regret leaving Abilene, If 1
accept the position; but in view of the
possibility of short term have not
fully made up my mind"
1t is naturally something of sacrifice
for Mr.. Little to give up his large law
practice aud the county attorneyship
to which he has just been elected,
to take the place, although the trip
and the experience would be valuable
even II the term is short. If MIR. Little
refuses the position it is safe to say 1t
will be lost to Kansas as it only came
here through John A. Anderson's
Friendship for the President. Mr..
Little will take little time to decide.
