Egyptian Cabinet AFFAIR.

CAIRO, Jan. 23.-The good Impression
caused by the success OF Great Britain's
intervention in the Egyptian cabinet az
fair is giving away to feeling Of great
anxiety among the European resident Is
In consequence of the almost defiant
attitude since adopted by the khedive.
The khedive's open encouragement of
popular demonstrations in his favor by
ostentatious attendance at prayers in
the mosque and performances in the
opera house has had the effect Of greatly
increasing the excitement among the
natives caused by the action OF the Brit
ish government. English officials here
believe that the Khedives course has
shaken the British positio n in Egypt
and endangered the progress OF the re-
forms Instituted by the British govern
ment.

MILAN AND NATALIE.
The Necessity of Another Marriage Cere.
mOny Discussed.


BELGRADE, Jan. 23.-Even the Ser
Wan radicals have joined in the ma
tional rejoicing over the reconciliation
Of Milan and Natalie. The newspapers
are vieing with each other in express
ing congratulations and good wishes.
Young King Alexander has telegraphed
to his parents that the announcement
of the reconciliation was the pleasant.
est news ever received by him. Many
letters and kilograms Of congratulation
have been received by the king and his
parents from foreign courts.
In court circles it is said that the re-
Cancellation is due to the pleadings of
the son. but this is not credited gener.
ally. The whole affair is believed to be
an achievement of Russian diplomacy,
which has found the absence OF such a
good friend as Natalie q serious detri
mont to it's interests. Milan, moreover,
is naturally pro Russian and has been
rendered more so by receiving loans
from st. Petersburg. His return to Ma
talie Is believed to have followed d.
rectly the promise.of further payments
from the same source.
The question as to the necessity OF
another marriage ceremony is much dis
cussed The divorce was not accepted
as valid by Natalie, although Milan has
always maintained that it was com.
plete from every point OF view. AS the
divorce was sanctioned by law it prob,
ably will! stand and another wedding
will be indispensable.

Panama Canal Gossip.


PARIS Jan. 23.-The Gilblss saws cha {
the warrant for the arrest of Arton, the
Panama lobbyist. supposed to have
bribed 104 deputies without 1,35O,OOO
francs, has been issued. The air of nu-
thority with which the statement is
made has excited surprise in view of M.
Bourgeois declaration in the chamber
on January 16, when he was hard
pressed by Deputy Millevoye, that the
warrant had been issued on January 7.
The Gilblas adds that Arton is known
to have left France some time ago and
is now believed to be in Roumania. AS
France has no extradition treaty with
Roumanis Arton would there be beyond
the reach of the French law.
Arton was supposed to be in London
in communication with Herr, and posi-
bly, Andrieux, short time ago. In
England he could have been arrested at
the instance Of the French government,
and surprise is expressed that M. Bour-
geouis should have held back with his
warrant until Arton found time to place
himself on less dangerous ground.
The Steele understands that M.
FraDqueville, examining magistrate,
has recommended the prosecution Of six
teen persons whom be has examined.

READING is DOWN.
The Great Corporation Has a
Third Tumble.
STOCKHOLDERS ARE OUT $4,000, 900

In the Brief Time of Twenty Days-Re-
Crash Attributed to a Rush of Creditors
for Their Money-BeIief That Things
win Come Out All Right and Significant
Facts to Justify the Belief
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2l.-For the third
| time in its career the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad is in the hands of re-
| ceivers. Unable to stem the tide of ad-
versity the great corporation has gone to
the wall at time when its outlook was
most favorable. The climax came sudden
ly and almost without warning to the peo-
pie of Philadelphia, but to few far-sight-
ed individuals it has long been known
that the storm was brewing That storm
eliminated yesterday morning in the star
Ting announcement that the board of man
ayers of the Reading Railroad company
had voluntarily decided to make applica-
ton to the courts for a receivership. Since
Friday last, when the first faint whisper
of coming trouble reached the public ear,
the company has had life and death
struggle to keep its head above water, but
the odds it had to face were too great, and
the homogeneous gallant efforts only en-
abled the company to stave off for a few
days the inevitable result.
All Wanted Pay at Once.
George H. Earle Jr., president of the
Finance Company of Pennsylvania, and
commercial agent for the Reading railroad,
yesterday afternoon said that the Finance
company has from $500, 600 to 10000, 600
of haD 4,
no advances have been made. This amount,
Mr.. Earle declared, was enough to pay the
Readings floating debt twice over When
asked the cause of the present difficulty
Mr.. Earle said that it was due to everybody
demanding his money at once, which was
unnecessary, for the company was able to
pay its debts. The Readings pay cars,
which were called back on Friday before
their contents had been distributed, were
not sent out yesterday.
Had Use for All Its Money
The fact is that heavy demands were
made upon the company for the repayment
of loans at time when every dollar that
could be scraped together was needed for
the legitimate expenses of the road, and to
meet these demands it was necessary to re-
call the money then on the way to pay the
wages of its employees and to defer the pay
ment of the money owed by the Reading to
individual coal operators, the product of
whose mines is sold under contract to the
Reading. Applications for assistance were
made in every direction. but the company's
credit was shattered and it was found i'm
