LONDON, Jan. 6.-The Cabinet council to-
day was intended to be the last until the eve
Of the opening Of Parliament. The death Of
the hhediye, however, upset these plans,
and the Ministers are now considering the
new situation in Egypt According to infOr-
nation cleaned since the council, the Cabi-
net decided TO treat the accession Of Abbas
Pssha as 6n event not altering In snywise
British policy. As Abbas Pasha will not
attain his majority until July 14th. the Min
listers foresee, and probably have been
warned, that France and Russia will incite
the Sultan and support his claim as suzeTain
to establish a regency. Even six months OF
a regent nomination by the Sultan might
destroy British power in Egypt and would
certainly lessen British prestige
The character of Abbas Pacha. which is
not vet formed, might acquire under a re-
gent a bias hostile to English interests.
AbbaS has been lmbibing E0giSn ideas and
sympathies from his tutor, Al Butler, who
was long In tie khedive's service and is
now at BTaZenOSe College, Oxford AbOaS
speaks English iueutly, As well "a French,
German and Arabic, lie Is OutspOken on
the Egyptian question. During his soJ)urn
In Vienna he freely expressed the CuHNlc-
ZION that British occupation was necessary.
MI. Philips of the embassy waited upon
Abbas to-day, and the interview between
them reached the Foreign Office IN London.
Il is understood that the telegram was OF
promising nature regarding the new
hhrdlYe5 inclination not 10 trouble Inc
British regime in Egypt Count ka,u1Ry.
the Austr0- Hungarian Minister, strong,
ste8GtaSt supporter of British rule IN Egypt,
to-day had a prolonged interview with
Abbas and MI Pnilps at the railway sta
u d. The prompt recognition OF AoOSs as
hhedIYe by most Of the European powers IS
plomacy Of Lord Salisbury. A SIM
ultaneOus communication from Cairo
and London elected telegram
from the Turkish Grand NIZer to
Gemhi Pasha the President OF the Egyptian
Council Indicating that the Sultan, as
suzerain, mad named Abbas as khpdiVe,
and desired the present ministry 10 con-
tlnus in CtIce until Abbas arrived IN the
country. Lord SaliSbuTy's anxiety t. Sc
cure q hold on the new khedlve IS due TO
tie knowledge that his predecessor was a
strong personal factor Ia European politics
and not a fgurehsad as he generally was
supposed 10 be-, and the power that tie new
ruler had, if he chooses 10 create trouble,
was unmeasuTeable.
The discovery Of a nest of active Anar-
chists at Wal>ali is a genuine affair, leading
10 important issues. CaIles was sentenced
at Nantes, May Iast to eighteen months
imprisonment for melting murder,
pIllage and iICenliarlsm. The man
calling himself Charles whose real name
is Slaughter, Is self-educated, speaks sew
