SENATE.

The new ColumDian postage stamp was
vigorously attack ed in the senate today by
Mr.. Wolcott, Of Colorado who called uD
his joint resolution directing the discon-
tinuance Of these stamps III 5rief, but
decidedly breezy speech, Mr.. Wolcott ridi-
cnled the postmaster-generaPs mercantile
idea idea that T.; large profit might be made
An idea, he said, that might
suit some Central American state that was
a :'few thousand dollars shy" He was un-
willing to have unloaded on stamp coIlec-
lectors "a cruel and unusual stamp" and
rather approved ola physicians idea that
Senators enjoyed the speech, and the Joint
resolution would have been passed instant
" had not the chairman of the postoffice
committee (Mr. Sawyer, Rep, Wis.) inter-
posed an objection, which sent it to that
committee. 5
The anti option bill was discussed for a
little over an hour and then went over
without action till Monday.

S The feature ofthe session Of the house
today was the cons Iteration of the national
quarantine bill. t was ushered in by an
eloquent speech from Congressman Raw
nor, Of Maryland, who depicted the danger
which was imminent to the people ofthis
country from unrestricted Immigration and

agreeing to some nationallaw which would
protect the United States from an invasion
OF its most deadly enemy cholera.

THE EGYPTIAN SITUATION BE-

England Will Send More Soldiers to

In a Disturbed Condition.

London. Jan Aft is officially an
nounced that the British gov eminent has
decided upon slight increase of the
British troops in Egypt III view of the
fact that recent events have threatened
to disturb the public security.
The Egyptian situation is assuming a
gravity which for the time oyerwhelms in
the public mind all other issues, includ-.
ing even Irish home rule. Lord Rose
berry has received telegraphic advices
from Lord Cromer that the khedive had
lntimated his intention to refer to the
Turkish sultan and to the treaty powers
the action of England in causing the dis
missal of the Fakhre cabinet. Other ad-
vices from Cairo state that the natives
are in more excited condition than at
any time before, since the outbreak un-
der the leadership of Arab Pasha. While
considerable party of the moderate
and intelligent natives support the British
position, the multitude takes sides with
the khedive and against what they call
infdel dictation. .
Mr. Gladstone caused cabinet 5coun-
Gil to be called to-day to consider the
Egyptian crisis. The marquis of Ripon,
secretary for the colonies, left a bed of
sickness to be present at the cabinet
meeting. The council sat for two hours.
While the cabinet was in session a
stream of kilograms continued to pour
into the foreign Office from Cairo These
were Immediately transmitted to the
cabinet. A note reached Lord Rosebery
on Saturday from the French foreign of
ice in relation to Egyptian affairs. The
note stated that the French government,
while refraining from objecting to Riaz
Pasha as premier, would maintain the
right of the khedive to choose his min.
listers. The British force in Egypt mum.
bered, at the beginning of this year
3,4OO men. Maj. Gen. Forester Walker
is in command The whole Egyptian
army, however, is indirectly under Brit
ish control, about sixty English officers
holding commands among the $4,000
native troops, and Gen. F. w. Kitchener
having control as sirdar Of the army or
ganization. The native troops have
reached high degree of efficiency under
their English drill masters.
