CAIRO, Feb. 23-A special cabinet conn
Gil has just been held here to discuss the
Egyptian situation, the khedive presiding.
lnasmuch AS the agitation appears TO have
been caused by the recent attack by the
Egyptians on the crew Of the British
cruiser Scout il was decided to create a
special tribunal, which shall have jurisdic-
tion over the ofenses of the natives
against the British soldiers, sailors and
marines stationed in Egypt. The tribunal
is to consist of the minister of justice,
lbrahim Fuad Pasha native as presid-
ing judge; Sir John ). scott, the judicial
adviser of the khedive; an Englishman
and two English judges and native
judge. The trial, the Judgment and the
carrying out of the sentence, including
the death penalty shall be summary and
without appeal. The tribunal can only
be invoked on the demand of Baron
Cromer, the British agent and consul
general, and the English general in the
command of the British forces in Egypt

to present petition to the czar. Tho pc
tition, 1t Is claimed was protest against
the abolition of certain bylaws governing

march to the palace the students stopped
at the restaurants, and here many became
intoxicated. They entered several thea
ters, jeered the performers, and fought
with spectators and attendants until for
chilly elected. They then proceeded to the
front of the Anitohetf palace, where they
paraded, hoping to attract the attention
of the czar, The police finally stopped the
marching and counter marching.
good sized riot ensued, but the stu
dents were finally driven away. They
then went TO u restaurant, but the police
had already taken the precautlon to order
the proprietor to close the doors. This en-
ragged the students, and they forced the
doors and windows, smashed the furni
ture and destroyed the viand5. They were
finally elected by the authorities. This
only enraged them the moro, and general
fighting followed. The students attacked
the police with knives, stones and broken
articles Of furniture. They were severely
handled in return, and Mt least twenty
were placed under arrest by the police.

manded their money back, were angry
because of the refusal OF the management
TO reimburse them, blocked the skater
Passage, and johnson was taken to his
dressing rsom under escort of tho police.
