Speaks Of Englard's Egyptian Policy

to Say Of Both Tewfk and Sir
Edwin,
From the Chiccqo Tribune.
| Sir Edwin Arnold arrived from the west
at the Auditorium yesterday afternoon aud
| left for New York on the $50 limited. For
an hour of the time between trains he talked
enthusiastically of what he had seen since
last In Chicago, and with much earnestness
of England's Egyptian policy as affected by
| the death of the khedive.

/ people," he said. Perhaps all lecturers say
/ this, but can certainly do so in all truth.
| The Americans are SO like the old Greeks, SO
! intelligent, SO eager to learn. l am as

/ If a native of one city IS set down in an-
other the strange faces are all that tell him

/ know from the popularity Of the first street
corner just what city he is in. Madison,

| United States. Surrounded by four lakes,

not vista but is beautiful.

| In South America alone there is room for
| 500 900 600 more people. Some day it will
| have that many, AID all will acknowledge
the government at Washington. We in
England will not grudge you this added
power. 1t is rightfullY yours. With the
completion of the canal across the isthmus
| or Nicaragua You must have control OF 1t
and of all that surrounding Egypt of the
new world.
England has all it wishes India always
| will be ours. Two men will always oppose
a war over that country-the Gar of Rus
STA and the prime minister of England, who
ever he may be. Still such war is newt
able, although it may not come for many,
many years. When from unavoidable
causes those countries come in conflict the
| RomanOff dynasty will be wiped away for
ever Every Russian throat east OF the
Caspian will be cut, and the Khauates will
reign once more in Asia. The remnants of
the Russian army will face at home revo~
luton which will overthrow the reigning
| house. England need have no fear Un-
derstRnd that there is no truth in the talk
of our small army. 1t is tn largest in the
world. We can place in tn eld more than
100000 men.
"The death of the khedive means a change

ally it will result in nothing but talk. The

from Egypt will be unsuccessful. Even
should the government desire to act thus the
| French people who are drawing interest
from Egyptian bonds would prevent it. The
succession OF Abbas Pasha can afford no
possible ground for trouble. Ismael, father
of Tewfik, paid the sultan a jolly good sum,
So, 100000, | believe, to gam the right to
change the old Mohammedan law regarding
the succession. By that law it went to the
Oldest living relative. By the new one 1t
goes, in European fashion, to the eldest son.
The new law was approved by the porte.
and only by that authority can it be
changed again.
French agitation on this subject is USE
less now. Before we occupied Egypt we
asked Minister Freycinet to join US in its
control. The offer was refused 1t WAS
the last chance France will ever have We
then bombarded Alexandria, made an awful
mess Of it, entered the country and brought
about order and prosperity. To-day the
people themselves do not desire the English
to go away. They know well that. this
done, all that has been accomplished under
our rule would vanish.
Egypt and the Suez canal are essentia
to England. If you had a residence the
other side of the river and your Office on
this, you would not wish the bridge to be
exposed TO fire and infested with thieves
and murderers. Egypt and the canal are
