CRISIS IN EGYPT.
Great Britain May Be Forced to Again Inter.
fene at Cairo,

CAIRO, Aug. 1.-the return of the
Khedive from his visit to the Sultan at
Constantinople has been marked by a
further tension in the political
situation and a cabinet crisis is
now on. The khedive has had
a quarrel with his prime minister,
Riaz Pasha, who owes his position to
English influence and wants ministry
in accord with his own policy, which is
we'll known to be pro-French one. 1t
was only few months ago that he dis
missed his ministers who were in ac-
cord with the English policy and sub
stituted a cabinet Of his own selection.
Lord Cromer, the British minister, in
tervened and forced the substitution of
Riaz Pasha as prime minister. The
situation between the Khedive and his
official advisers has since been strained
and has now resulted in another crisis
that will probably again call for British
intervention.

The Thomas Orchestra No Longer at the
Columbian Exposition.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, ILL.,,
Aug 1O.-The expected happened last
night when the executive committee OF
the board of directors accepted Theo-
dore Thomas resignation as musical di-
rector of the fair. 1t was also decided
to disband Mr.. Thomas big orchestra
of ia pieces. cit is the inten-
ton" said one of the members
of the executive committee, "to
engage several bands and locate
them about the grounds for the pleas
ure of the visitors. Popular music only
will be played, as the public has ex-
pressed itself as being opposed to the
high class selections which Mr.. Thomas
insisted on giving the public. Besides
this, Mr.. Thomas release will great
ly decrease the expenses of
the fair The executive commit
tee ordered the council Of ad-
ministration to cancel the contracts
of the members of the orchestra as soon
as possible, and this week will probably
be the last that Wagnerian music is
played at the fair. In accepting the
resignation of Mr.. Thomas, the COM
mittee adopted resolution thai it is
not unmindful of the work he has per-
formed and regrets that the financial
condition of the fair makes it necessary
for the exposition to lose his services.
Festival and Music halls will probably
be used for band concerts on rainy days
and for special concerts.

TWO ROBBERS SHOT DEAD.
Deadly Work of a Marshal and Posse In
Indian Territory.


AToKA, l. T., Aug. IA desperate
fight occurred last night at Leh,gh, l..
T., between officers and robbers, IN
which two of the robbers were
killed and it is thought two others
wounded -Four men came to the
store of Phillips q Co., seized A. *.
Tut, who had a key to the store, and at
the muzzle of shotgun forced him to
open the door, Marshal J. w. Gael
and three others were secreted on
the inside. When the men entered
the officer told them to hold up their
hands when the robbers commenced
firing. The marshal's posse returned
the fire, instantly killing two OF the
men and wounding two others. The
robbers intended to kill Mr.. Barlon, the
book keeper, and Jones, the clerk,
after forcing them to open tho safe.
This is the elimination of a series Of
robberies and other desperate deeds
committed in Coalgate and Lehigh
during the past month, and it is quite a
relief to the people to know that two OF
the desperate characters are out OF the
way. The men killed resided in Lee
high, one Of them was Pearce, the 9TH
er's name unknown. Their bodies were
turned over to their families this morn
ing and will be buried to-day.

DYNAMITE PLOT REVEALED.
Several Prominent Men Implicated Who
Will Be Shot

New YORK, Aug 9.-Cable advices
from Cartagena are to the effect that
the government has succeeded in frus-
trating plot of the Liberals to blow
up portions of Cartagena and
the country residence of Nunez with
dynamite. The widest excitement pre-
walls as consequence. Among those
under arrest are Stomingo Villa, COVER
nor of Panama in 1885; Gen. Urueta and
Gen. Urea. The latter was charged
with the execution of the plot. All will
probably either be shot or exiled. The
intention of the plotters was to follow up
the destruction by dynamite with a gen
eral revolution throughout the republic
and overthrow the government. The
f,ilrue of the scheme is due to the be-
trayal of the plan by one of the partici
pants in the plot. Several prominent
Colombian and Venezuelan Liberals
have arrived here from New York on
the steamer Curacao. They brought
arms to aid the revolutionists, but the
premature movement at Cartagena up
set all their plans and their documents
and arms were seized.

MANY HOUSES IN RUINS.
Fire at Minneapolis Causes a Loss OF a
Million Dollars.

WiiiiUiI OUiiol
MIxNEApoL1s, Mimi. Aug. 14.-Flre
late Yesterday caused a loss of 81, Ooo,-
900. over 100 buildings being burned.
Two fires broke out within short time
of each other The first broke out IN
stable in the rear of the Cedar Lake Ice
Companv's house and soon spread to
the ice-house proper. From there,
famed by quick breeze, it spread to
Clark's box factory, and then de-
stroyed the boiler works of Lintges,
Council & Co., including a ST.
900 riveting machine, the only one west
of Chicago. Lenhart's Union Wagon
Works were totally consumed, also a
quantity of lumber belonging to various
firms. The Cedar Lake Ice Company
loses $, 900; Clark Box Company, $780,
600; Lintges, Connell q Co., 10000;
Union Wagon Works, $4,000. On this
there is total insurance of about half.
While this fire was at its height an
alarm was turned in from the lumber
district at the other end of the island.
Boon Island, as the place is called, was
mass of wood and lumber piles belong
ing to Nelson, Tenny & Co. and Backus
& Co. This was blazing fercely, and,
famed by brisk wind, the flames soon
spanned the narrow stretch OF water
and began eating their way among the
big saw-mills and residences in the vi
cinitv of the river bank. One after an
other the planing-mills OF the Wilcox
Company, the Chatterton mill, the
Backus mill, the Hove mill, Smith 4
Corrigan, and Nelson Tenny q Co. felt
the blast of the fire, and were either
destroyed or badly damaged. The
flames letta path OF blackness through
Marshall Street and were practically
stopped by the big brick structure
of the Minneapolis Brewing Company,
although their loss is put at $4,000.
Ali along Marshall Street and through
that entire section are small frame
houses occupied by laboring and saw
mill hands. They went like finder
when the flames first struck them, but
the residents had ample time to move
their belongings. In all 112 houses
were destroyed.
Although a general alarm was turned
in, the entire city fire department
proved inadequate to the occasion, and
aid was asked from st. Paul, and that
two steamers and hose cart that did
excellent service. The fire on Boom
Island was burning fiercely at a late hour
tonight, and the only hope seems to lie
in letting it burn itself out. For a
while it looked as though the entire part
of Northeast Minneapolis would be de-
stroyed, but by the concentration of the
department the further progress Of the
flames was checked. There were sew
eral accidents caused by spectators at
tempting to run logs and falling in.
Two boys were reported drowned, but
the rumor cannot be verified. Bertha
Streat, residing on Washington Avenue,
between Tenth and Eleventh, fell out of
third story window, while looking at
the fire, and was instantly killed.
The following is list of the losses SO
far as can be ascertained tonight. 1t is
impossible to give the detailed insur-
nnnn t0-ninhf.
