4, the past few days have been along pleas

have not been taken too seriously.
They were soon forgotten in tho touching
.onctacle at Berlin Yesterday. which warmed
the hearts ot all Europe. only In Paris has
there been any attempt to attach a sinister

may lead to serious native outbreaks.
The khedive's silly conduct and the sad
death OF Sir Gerald Portal have upset an ad-
mirable diplomatic arrangement 1t Ind been
