LONDON. January 23.-The Egyptian
situation is assuming gravity which, for
the time, ,overwhelms, in the public mind,
all other issues, including even Irish
home rule Lord Kosebery has received
| telegraphic advices from Lord Cromer
to the effect that the Khedive had inti-
mated his intention to refer to the Turk
ish Sultan and to the treaty powers the
action of England In causing the dismis-
sal of the Fakhri Cabinet. Other ad-
vices from Cairo state that the natives
are in more excited condition than at
any time be ore since the outbreak un-
der the leadership of Arab Pasha. While
| considerable party of the moderate
and intelligent ma ives support the Brit
ish position, the multitude takes sides
with the Khediye. and against what they
call infidel dictation.
Mr. Gladstone caused Cabinet coun-
Gil to be called today to consider the
Egyptian crisis. The Marquis of Ripon,
secretary for the Colonies, left bed of
sickness to be present at the Cabinet
While the Cabinet was in session stream
of kilograms continued to pour into the
foreign Office from Cairo. These were
Immediately transmitted to the Cabinet.
When the Crbinet adjourned it was to
reassemble al o'clock p. m. The pro-
lohgeG session of the Cabinet is under
stood to be due to difference of opinion
as to the necessity of reinforcing the
British army of occupation in Egypt
both with view to protecting British
interests at Cairo, and to protecting the
frontier against the dervishes, who have
recently become very menacing.
A note reached Lord Roseberry on
Saturday, from the French foreign Office
in relation to Egyptian affairs. The note
stated that the French government.
while refraining from objecting to Rias
Pasha as premier, would maintain the
right of the Khedive to choose his min
listers. si
The Cairo correspondent of the Times
says: 1.-THE situation is very strained.
Popular excitement is increasing on ac-
count of the general belief that the Khe-
dive intends to test Great Britain's de-
termination to continue her occupation
and ascendancy. The press depounces
the British officials las rebels because
they refused to recognize three new min
listers during the two days between the
Khedive's nomination and England's s.
recognition of them. The Khedive is
credited openly with the intention tor
dismiss all the highest English officials.
The language of the press is increasing
ly violent, and alludes to the Khedive as
a hero. The Khedive, with strong ma
ture impelling him to extremes, and
with preference for advisers interested
in disturbing public order, can easily be
made tool of the cleverer heads about
the khedival court. y
The Cairo correspondent of the Daily
News says:
"The situation here is critical, and un-
less Great Britain takes very stringent
measures she will have to solve more
serious question than ever before in
Egypt. The anti English demonstration
planned for the occasion of the Khedive's
visit to the opera house was frustrated
only by the rigorous measures of the
authorities and the strong police force
present. The British troops were con-
fined to their barracks and a strong de-
tachment was stationed near the opera
house."
May Be Censured by the Pope.
The Rome correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle says: ''It is expected that
Archbishop Corrigan of New York will
receive severe admonition from the
Pope in regard to his opposition to Arch
bishop Satolli and Archbishop Ireland.
1t has been decided that the new papal
delegate will reside in Washington"
Tho Khedive Praised.
