New York Associated Press. THE cab
met council today was intended to be
the last until the eve of the opening OF
parliament. The death OF the khedive,
however, upset the plans, and the
ministers are now considering the new
situation in Egypt. According to in
formation cleaned since the council, the
cabinet decided to treat the accession
of Abbas Pasha as an event not alter
ing in any wise the British policy. As
Abbas Pasha will not attain his majority
until July 14th, the ministers foresee.
and probably have been warned, that
France and Russia will incite the
sultan and support his claim as
suzerain, to establish a regency.
Even six months of regent nomi-
nation by the sultan might destroy
British power in Egypt, and certainly
would lessen British prestige. The
character of Abbas Pasha, which is not
yet formed, might acquire under a re-
gent bias hostile to British interests
Abbas, with imbibing English ideas and
sympathies from his tutor, AL Butler,
who was long in the khedive's service,
and is now at Brazenoee college, Ok
ford. Abbas speaks English fuently, as
we'll as French, German and Arabic.
He is outspoken on the Egyptian ques-
ton. During his sojourn in Vienna he
freely expressed the conviction that
British occupation was necessary, Mr..
Phipps OF the embassy, waited upon
Abbas today, and report of the inter-
view between them reached the foreign
Office at London. 1t is understood
the telegram WAS of promis-
ing nature regarding the new khe-
dives inclination not to trouble
the British regime in Egypt.
Count Kalnoky, the Austro-Hungary
minister, strong and steadfast sup
porter of British rule in Egypt, today
had prolonged interview with Abbas
and Mr.. Phipps, at the railway station.
The prompt recognition of Abbas as
khedive, by most of the European
powers, is due to the instant and I'M
hesitating diplomacy of Lord Salisbury.
A Simultaneous communication from
Cairo and London elected telegram
from the Turkish grand vizier to Gehmi
| Pasha, the president of the Egyptian
council, indicating that the sultan as
suzerain had named Abbas as khedive,
and desired the present ministry to con-
tinue in Office until Abbas arrived in
the country. Lord Salisbury's anxiety
to secure a hold on the new khedive is
due to the knowledge that his prede-
cessor was strong personal factor in
European politics, and not fgurehead,
as he was generally supposed to be, and
that the power of the new ruler, if be
chooses to create trouble, is unmeasur-
able.
The discovery of a nest of active
Anarchists at Walsall is genuine
affair, leading to important issues
Gales was sentenced at Nantes in May
last to eighteen months imprisonment
for melting murder, pillage and incen-
| diarism. The man calling himself
Charles, whose real name is Slaughter,
is self-educated, speaks several Ian
guages, and is rabid Socialist. Deakin,
who has long been propogator of
Socialism in the midlands, is the Writ
ual leader of the party. The police
traced the bombs manufactured in Wal
sail to Anarchists in Belgium, North
France and Italy.
The post of constable of Windsor
castle made vacant by the death OF
Prince Victor of Hohenlohe, the salary
of which is $4,000 yearly, is matter of
court dispute. The prince of Wales
wants the queen to give the place to the
duke OF Teck, but the queen inclines to
Prince Henry of Battenburg.
John Borles, recently arrested as an
anarchist for firing pistol at West
minister hall, has been discovered to be
prominent Oxford scholar.
