CAIRO, Jan. THE sudden death of the
Khedive occ urred to-day. The immediate
cause of the demise was congestion of the
lungs, superinduced by influenza. from
which he had been suffering. The disease
was complicated with cardiac affection.
The death of the Khedlve was'entirely un-
expected. 1t was stated last evening that
he was in no apparent danger from
the attack of influenza. when suddenly the
complication set in and developed with
startling rapidity. Two physicians were
in attendance upon the Khedive, but
they did not appear to realize
that his condition was critical
until this morning. When it became gen.
orally known that the ruler of Egypt was
dangerously i'll groups of people gathered
at the gates of the Helouan Palace, where
the Khedive was lying. At 6 o'clock this
evening bulletin was issued stating that
is believed that at that time he must have
been dead. At z O'Clock his death was an
nounced. The funeral OF the khedive
will take place tomorrow. The body
will be placed In the mausoleum
! at the citadel mosque. The route
of the funeral procession will be from
Helouan to the Abiding Place, and thence
TO the mausolenm. The Khedive's sons
have been hastily summoned from Vienna.
They will be conveyed to Egypt by a spe-
cially chartered steamer.
dispatch from Paris says: The an
nouncement of this death has created an
enormous sensation throughout France, and
particularly IN Paris. 1t Is believed that
France will take this opportunity of re-
opening the whole Egyptian question, and
that she will insist upon the appointment
of y regency, with o French representation
in such regency. England. it is thought,

THE PAsHA's EvENTFUL CAREER.
Mohammed Tewik Pasha. the Khedive of
Egypt, was born Nov. 10, 1852. He was the
eldest son of the late Khedive Ismail. He

the dynasty of Mohammed Ali Pasha, who

goes, very paragon among khediyes.
