Affairs in Egypt.

The Khedive of Egypt, Tewfik Pacha, died last week of the grippe and his son Abbas Pacha, an amiable and promising young man of eighteen, who was at sch ool in Vienna, will soon ascend the throne. His accession will not cause any change in the political condition of the country. The British lion has his paw on Egypt and he will keep it there. The control of things assumed by Eng land is essential to the maintenance of her financial interests in the country and in the Suez Canal. There is some grumbling in the Russian and French press, and it is suggested that England has had her innings and that some other nation should go to bat, but as long as England is the naval ally of Austria and Germany she will not be disturbed in Egypt Doubtless her rule, with all it's mistakes and short comings. will be better for the country than that of any other nation.

Tine Bridge and the Central New Eng
 land all Right.

ldnO dIl nIsuts
 The affairs of the Poughkeepsie Bridge sn the c. N. E. & ". R. R. Go. are in very encouraging condition. Business has increased rapidly with the prospect of still larger increase in 1892. During the first year after the bridge was opened only 7,1OO loaded freight cars passed over the bridge. In the second year the number had increased to 22,518. For the third year, now passing, the number is at the rate of 30,0 900.
 The hostile suits begun by MT. Van Benthuysen and others have come to a standstill and appear to be effectually blocked, as the holders of two-thirds of the bonds of the Bridge Company and ninety-five per cent. of the Railroad Company have agreed to take scrip in stead of their coupon interest for two years. and in the face of this the courts decline to place the property In the hands of receiver.
 But still more important item of good news is that an agreement has been made with the Erie Railroad Company which includes not only an interchange of business for both freight and passen- gers, but which gives to the O. N. E. X W. R. R. Go. the use of it's branch line from Campbell Hall to Goshen, and ot the yard at the latter place, so that trains will be hereafter run through and the business be taken there. The mak- ing of this agreement marks d change of policy on the part of the Erie Railroad Company. We gather the above from the Poughkeepsie Eagle. ..

The Testimony of the Sailors Shows That

 Matta's Curt Note still Confronts Us.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. S.-The lnvestiga- ton into the assault on the Baltimore's sailors at Valparaiso began at Mare island. Judge Advocate General Reamy conducted the investigation.
 John w Talbot, apprentice on the Balti- more, was the first witness. He was one of the liberty party on Sept. l6. He stated that c. w Riggin, the boatswain's mate, one of the killed, was with him during the afternoon. About o'clock they went to- gether in a saloon called 'The Shakespeare, 1" in the southern part of the town. The pro prietor ordered them out, declaring that a mob of disbanded sailors and soldiers were preparing to attack the Baltimore's men, and he did not want any trouble in his place. Riggin and Talbot laughed at the warming, but left the place and went to the ssTrue Blue" saloon.
 Continuing, witness said About o'clock coming out I saw Riggin being threatened by the Chilian sailors ill man-of-war uni form. I ran across and tried to seperate them. One of the Chilians spat on my face and I knocked him down. Instantly the crowd of over one hundred people appeared on the scene, and we started on run, but soon jumped on a passing car The mob fol lowed and we were soon surrounded. l saw Riggin fall and tried to reach him, but was stabbed in the back and turned to run.
 "After going few blocks l turned into a doorway, and was again stabbed in the back got in, however, and took posi- tion in a corner and defended myself with a chair. The mob followed me, and a Chilian sailor in man-of-war uniform stsbbed me again. The bartender finally put them out and barricaded the door. The mob clamored outside for admittance, and after an hour a policeman arrested me and took me to jail. He disguised me by substituting hat for my sailors cap with the word "Baltimore' on it, so they would not notice that was an American sailor. The officer turned me over to two other policemen, who struck me several times, although was making no re- sistance. had no arms of any kind and was perfectly sober.
 After short time in jail I was sent to a hospital with Hamilton w. Palmer and Davidson, all badly hurt. We were kept there four days and were then sent to the ship, where was in the hospital forty-fve days. None except the American sailors were attacked by the mob" This ended Talbot's examination.
