A Blow to French Hopes.

attempt of the Khedive of Egypt TO rid
himself Of the English proteotorate. the
Paris correspondent of the Tribune
says: "Once more have the hopes which
the French based On Mr.. Glsdstone's

more have they fallen fat. They thought
yesterday that their hour had come in
Egypt. They hailed the little coup d'etat

and the appointment of Fakhri Pasha as

Egypt Promptly Comes Englands Terms,
and Changes tho Ministry.
CAIRO. Jan. 18-The furry in Egyptian
political affairs has ended in the complete
withdrawal of the Khedive from the posi-
ton taken by him, and benceforth. unless
some untoward event occurs, Great Britain
will have all to say as TO who shall fiji the
Egyptian Cabinet Offices. Yesterday the
Khedive was handed an ultimatum from
the British government. demanding
the dismissal of the newly-appoint-
ed Ministry within twenty four
hours. The ultimatum left no doubt
that Great Britain was seriously
earnest in her determination not to relax
her grip upon the country, and that the
KEedive's personal predictions will not
be allowed to count for anything against
what England believes to be her interests.
The Egyptian ruler was plainly given to
understand that his position was held only
through the consent of Great Britain. and
if that consent was withdrawn he
would find himself in o precarlous
position. Upon the expiration, to-day,
of the twenty-four hours gwen in the
ultimatum, Lord Cromer. the British MIN
lister, sent to the Abdin palace and de-
manded to know the decision the Khedive
had arrived at. The KhedIve, who had
had long conference with Nubar Pasha
and Riaz Pasha. expressed regret that his
selection of Ministry had proved
not to the liking of Great Britain,
and pointed out that Fahkri Pa
sha. the newly appointed president
of the council, had, at his request resi- gned
his position. The Khedive offered TO ap-
point in his stead Rlaz Pasha, who was
formerly at the head of the Egyptian Min
istry and who is known TO be friendly to
British interests. Lord Cromer assented
to the appointed of Riaz Pasha. He secured
from the khedive an under standi Dg that
hereafter he would make no alteration in
the Ministry without consulting Great
Britain.
