"We shall drive Russia out OF Asia. l
have been over tho country. know
the very vollcy in which tho decisive
battle will be fought. We shall beat
the Russians back. Every Russian
throat beyond tho Caapiamwill be cut;
tho Khanates will DO restored the
House Of the. Romanoila will DO buried
from power by revolt in RusSia itself,
and the land Of the Muscoyito will sink
TO a second-rato place and cease TO
trouble tho peace Of Europe
"But with France as Russia's ally ~
II was suggested.
Germany viii attend 10 France.
England will never lose in war, and she
will never suffer her Indian dependency
to DO wrcstcd from hor.'
Sir Edwin Arnold was asked what Of.
feet the death Of Tewik, khedive Of
Egypt, would have upon Englands
policy.
ave shall never abandon Egypt. We
went 10 Egypt to restore order. We
have done 1t. Tho country is policed.
The pc0santry has been relieved OF bur
densome taxes, and tho land OF the
pharoahs Is better gouerncd than ever

city residence TO his country homo over

derers, We have polced that bridge.
! was talkin. with Mr.. Gladstone upon
this subject some time ago, and I then
said: Mr.. Gladstone, We shall abandon
Egypt when We leave Pimlico, and he
replied, i am afraid that Is too true.
1--WE asked France to Join US when
we interviewed to restore order IN Egypt.
Frcycinct declined. You know the re.
suit. We battered Alexandria and
made Arab Pasha prisoner Franco
lost her opportunity then; she will
never have another chance to intervene,
and she will not make any trouble on
that score Why? Simply because
there are too many French bondholdcrs.
They are sure OF per cent interest on
their bonds under the British regime
and they will not permit their govern
ment TO interfere"
do you credit the story that TewfG
was murdered by his physicians p
mot Intentionally. The native doc
tors administered injections OF morphia.
He died from the effects OF the drug.
II hc had had IN English physician he
would have been alive to-day. Ills son,
Abbas, will succeed without any trouble,
and there will be no change in the
present policy. According to the old
Mohammedan law, uassan, the brother
of Tewfk, and not Abbas, the son,
should succeed. That law provided
not that the Oldest son, but the oldest
representative OF the house should
succeed. This law was changed by
Ismail, the father OF the dead khedive,
who paid the sultan 100000 for the
privilege OF making the succession
descend to the Oldest son, rs is the law
in Europe
Sir Edwin Arnold thought the two
great factors for peace in Europe were
the car and the prime minister OF
England. Salisbury would not 20 to
war unless England was attacked, and
although he believed war with Russia
must come some time, he thought the
czar would postpone it as long as it
lay within his power, for it mean. the
loss OF his crown.
OF Australia and South America he
predicted great things.
~ have never been south OF the equa-
tor, but believe the tropics are the
lands Of the future 1t is true the
North has been the great workshop. 1t
is hero that intellect and wealth have
developed, but some time we will tire
OF the sleet and the snow and the biz
yards. England will carry her intelli-
gence and her wealth to Australia and
Africa, and you will do tho same for
South America. Bates, the great seog-
raphcr, who spent twelve years on the
Amazon, regards that region as the iu-
ture home OF refinement and culture.
"rhe United States will carry it
there, and people OF your blood will
develope higher civilization, than the
world has yet seen under the warm sun
Of the tropics. South America has a
capacity to support 500, 100000 OF peo-
pie, but it must be under an English
civilization. The Spanish states are too
weak, and there is too much OF an nd.
mixture OF Indian blood to develope 4
high social state among the people
now living there. The spur to progress
must come from without from the
United States"
