Abbas Ready TO Reign
Abbas Pacha, the eldest son and sue
cessor of the khediye. was in Vienna
when the intelligence. of the death of
his father reached him. He i'm
mediately telegraphed to the presi-
dent of the council that the news was so
entirely unexpected that he was terribly
overcome. The khedive;s death, he
said. was misfortune to the whole of
of Egypt. Abbas Paeha also announced,
his intention of starting Immediately for
Carlo to assume the duties which de-
volved upon him through his fathers
DEATH
Abbas SIS credited with imbibing Eng
lish ideas and sympathies from his
tutor, A. |. Butler, who was long in the
khedive'S service, and who is now
lecturer in BraZenose college, Oxford
Abbas speaks English fluently, as we'll
as French. German and Arabic. He is
outspoken on the Egyptian question.
During his Sojourn IN Vienna he freely
expressed his conviction that the Brit
lsh occupation was necessary. Mr..
PhIpps, of the embassy. waited upon
Abbas today, and it is understood that
the new khedive is not inclined to
trouble the British regime in Egypt
Abbas. with his brother, started from
Vienna today for Trieste, whence the
khedival yacht will take them TO Egypt.
Count Kalnoky. the Austro-Hungarian
minister, who is steadfast supporter
of British rule in Egypt, had pro-
longed interview with Abbas and Mr..
Phipps at the railway station, and cor
Otdlly Ddue AUDdS farewell.
Britain VIII Hold Fast.
The action of the British government
points to its determination to keep a
grip on the nominal ruler of Egypt. The
prompt recognition OF AbbaS as khedive
by most of the European powers has
been due to the instant and unhesitat-
ing diplomacy Of Lord Salisbury. Stimuli

the president of the Egyptian council,
intimating that the sultan as SuZerain
named Abbas as khedive, and desired
that the present ministry continue in
Office until AbbaS arrived in that coun-
try.
Lord Salisbury's anxiety to secure
hold Oh the new khedive is due to
knowledge that his predecessor was a
strong personal factor i'll European pol
itics and not the figurehead he was gen.
orally supposed to be. and that the
power of the new ruler, if he chooses to
create trouble, is unreasonable.
Suspicious Of France.
LONDON, Jan. S.-The Times, COM
mehting on the death of the khedive,
says that the accession of a youthful
ruler affords good reason why En-
gland should have a tighter hold on
Egypt.
The Standard says: "Should the
sultan consider the time Opportune to
reopen negotiations, he will find that
while we entertain punctillious re-
Spect for his SuZeraIn rights, we cannot
expose both him and Egypt to lepeti-
ton of the dangers from which England
alone rescued them"
1.-The Dix NeuyIenne Steele" of Paris,
foreseeing that arguments like the fore
going would be advanced by the British,
demands that the powers combine to
prevent the placing of Abbas PaSha
under English tutelage.
BERLIN, Jan. Sherman newSpa-
perS, In commenting upon the results
that may be expected to follow the
death of the khedive, express appre-
tensions that the death of the ruler Of
Egypt will give rise to renewal of the
French agitation to secure the with
drawal of the British troops from
Egypt. They are hopeful, however,
that should this agitation be again
started it will prove unsuccessful.
French Views.
PARIS, Jan. S.-The death of the khe-
dive of Egypt has afforded occasion for
the French newspapers to again take
up and discuss at great length the long

agree in the belief that England will
take advantage of the situation to pro-
long her occupation of the country, and
all express the fear that the new khe-
dive will prove only puppet in the
hands of the British.
The Journal DIES Debats, In its article
on the subject, demands the appoint
ment of a regency to govern Egypt.
The Figaro and the Autorite both
consider that the death of Mohammed
Tewfik has given France the occasion
to again insist on definite settlement
of the Egyptian question.
The Gaulois says that the porte will
concede much to England in return fol-
partial restoration of Turkish author
ity in Egypt. Lord Salisbury, the
GauIois adds. will probably try to enlist
the sultan on the side of the dreibund
in return for some concession in Egypt.
1t is believed in French circles in
Cairo that the porte will only consent to
the succession of Abbas, the hereditary
prince of Egypt, upon the understand
