had cut him off from racing and all his
natural pleasures. The strike affected
his fathers vast domain in North Mer-
cia; it was marked by an unusual vio-
lence on the part of the men and their
leaders; and Fontenoy, driven, sorely
against his will, to take Il part by the
fact that his father the hard and com
petent administrator of an enormous
fortune, happened at the moment to be
struck down by illness, found himself.

race-horses, and proceeded forthwith
to throw into the formation of new
party all the doggedness, the astUte-
ness and the audacity he had been ac-
customed to lavish upon the intrigues
and the triumphs of the turf.
And now in this new parliament his
immense labor was beginning to tell.
The men who followed him had grown
in number and improved in quality.
They abhorred equally temporizing
conservatism and n plundering democ-

They were the apostles of resistance
and negation; they were sworn to op-

and the personal liberty of master and
workman, and to undo, if they could,
some of the meddling that had been al
ready carried through. A certain
academic quality prevailed among
them, which made them peculiarly
sensitive to the absurdities of men who
had not been to Oxford or Cambridge;
while some, like Tressady, had been
travellers, and wore an imperialist heart
upon their sleeve. The group possessed
an unusual share Of debating and or

tracted so much attention as now that
they were about to make the Maxwell

As a result of the extraordinary cabinet

day, the Turkish Government has issued
an appeal, addressed to France and Illus.
sia. asking them to intervene with the
object Of regulatinS affairs in Egypt.
Germany, 1t Is added, was also requested
by the porte TO exercise her good Offices
In this sense. Instructions were also dis.
patched to the Turkish ambas sador at
London to make representatio to the
Marquis of Salisbury. but their tenor Is
not known. In well.informed circles 1t
IL declared that the action of the porte
Is due to the councils of France and Rus.
STA. the Governments Of which countries,
II Is claimed, have submitted that the
present Is an Opportune moment for Tur-
key to raise the question Of her suzcrainty
over Egypt being practically usurped by
Great Britain. The Governments indi.
Gated, It Is alleged. promised Turkey their
support In the natter. There il no doubt
that considerable annoyance Ia felt by
the porte at the fact that Turkey was
not consulted In regard to the ACCESSIBILITY
Of dispatching a British.Egyptian expe.
dition up the Nile, and the feeling of
irritation has been increased by the khe.
dive also ignoring the porte entirely. Re.
proaches have, In consequence, been al
dressed to the Ottoman commissioners In
Egypt for not taking steps to prevent the
organization of the expedition, MS II Is
feared that the effects " the advance up
the Nile will be felt elsewhere than on
the frontiers of Egypt and that the Arabs
Of Yemen may be encouraged to fresl,
