Modern Means of Transit introduced in
Egypt With Success.


Egypt With Success.
WASHINGTON, May I'm a course of
a report to the state department. on the
railways of Egypt, United States Consul
General PenfieId at Cairo, makes the
surprising statement that that country,
in proportion to population, has more
railway mileage and better service than
Austria, Hungary, Spain or Portugal,
and it is all government property with
the exception of few short lines.
All the roads are very profitable invest
ments, though the income of the gov
eminent lines is pledged to European
creditors of the country as partial con-
sequence of the profigate extravaganza
of the Khedive Ismail.
Expense of construction is low, owing
to the nature of the country, and work.
ing expenses are much below the Eu
ropean standard, as a result of the mod
crate speed and cheap motive labor.
Ancient Cairo is to have a trolley line
next year, and Alexandria is expected to
follow suit.
Bids have been made for a trolley line
from Cairo to the pyramids, ten miles.
and Frenchman has seriously applied
for permission to build funicular rail
way to the top of the great pyramid,
though this request has not been consid-
cred.

WAR ON SECEDERS.
Knights of Pythias viii Give the New
Order No Quarter.


INDIANAPOLIS, May AT a confer
ence of the supreme officers of the
Knights of Pythias it was decided to
wage war on the seceders from the order
who have started "The Improved Order
Knights of Pythias."
Chancellor Commander Richie was in
doubt about the wisdom of bringing on
fight, but the other supreme officers in
sisted that no quarter should be given.
The Improved Order Knights of
Pythias had its origin in the action of
the last supreme lodge on deciding that
hereafter the ritual of the order shall be
printed in the English language only,
aud that the English language only shall
be used in the secret work of the order
The German speaking members of the
order took affront at the action and es-
tablished the opposition order, which
authorizes the Establishment of both
English speaking and German speaking
lodges,

Manager j. j. Frey's Letter on the Subject
is Clear.
A lawyer named Tosh, at Argentine,
Kan, has received letter from General
Manager ]. J. Frey of the Santa Fe rela-
tive to reinstating one of the A. r. U.
strikers in that city.
The following is the letter yer batum:
Case of Mr.. B.
TOPEKA, Kan, April 30, 1885,
Mr.. L. D. L. Tosh. Attorney at Law. Argentine,
Kan:
DEAR SIR;-I beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt of your favor of 23d inst with en-
closure, and to say in reply that the case
of Mr.. B was fully investigated and
carefully considered by the under
signed. This man, like hundreds of
others, stopped work at time when it
was incumbent upon every employe to
either declare his loyalty to the COM
pany or to an organization known as the
American Railway union. Mr. b it
seems. preferred to take the latter
course, and by that means render aid
and assistance to those who were in open
rebellion against US. Such rebellion
was without cause or justification in the
remotest degree and cost this company
hundreds of thousands of dollars
and the public was much annoyed and
Inconvenience. Mr.. B had perma-
nent work with the company, and he
could have retained his position just so
long as he performed his duty well and
obeyed rules and regulations; but he
saw proper to connect himself with and
obey instructions of an irresponsible or
ganization rather than remain loyal to
| the company which gave him steady
employment, thereby furnishing him
with means of support for himself and
family and others dependent upon him.
Surely the management cannot be
blamed for his present condition, as due
/ warning was given all employees before
the strike took place, protesting against
any action of our employees in support of
the American Railway union in its fight
against the Pullman company.
While 1 regret very much Mr.. BIS
| ill-advised action aud his present I'M
happy condition, 1 cannot consistently
change the decision heretofore rendered
in his case Yours truly,
j. J. FREY, General Manager.

stead, Kan, has adopted the following
resolutions:
Whereas, It is currently reported that

possibility of enforcing the prohibitory
