WILL ADVANCE INTO EGYPT.
Governments Policy Denounced by the
Liberals.

London, February Sin the House OF
Commons today, Sir Michael E. Hicks
Beech, chancellor of the exchequer, an
nounced that further advance Of Egyp-
tien tt oops would he made toward Khar-
toum next season. He said tho action of
the mixed court of appeals in upsetting
the judgment of the Egyptian public debt
commission in regard to setting aside
certain Egyptian funds toward the ex-
pense of the Dongola expedition was
calculated to proloIg the British occupa-
ton of Egypt. Great Britain had ad-
vanced money to pay Eeypt's share of
the expenses, leaving Great Britain and
Egypt to mutually doodle when the sum
should be repaid.
Right Hon. John Morley, Liberal, said
the remarks of the chancellor of the ex-
cheQuer amounted to challenge to
France and Russia to take issue with
Great Britain In the latter's Egyptian
policy. In view Of the sensitive condition
of Europe q. tine present time, he declared
nothing more rash could be uttered
SiriCharlesDilke. Iii eral, denounced the
Egyptian policy of the government. Sir
Vim. Haroourt, leader of the opposition
expressed regret at the unwise language
and gratuitous provocation of the powers.
which characterized the remarks Of Sir
Michael Hicks Beach.
Henry M. Stanley, the African ex.
plorer, Cnionisr member for North
Lam bert, said that Great Britain was
only doing in Egypt whet Russia y was
doing in Siberia, and France was doing
between the senegal and Niger rivers in
Africa

WENT THROUGH THE BRIDGE.
Disastrous Termination of Wild Runa-
way.

yesterday afternoon horse attached to
fine sleigh, both the property Of a man
named Webster, raI away on Commercial
street ard like whirl wind dashed Ut
the street towards the Grand Trunk. The
horse went between the depot and the
engine house and out on the tracks IN
the freight yard. Like deer the
frightened animal sped up the track and
niraculously escaping going through tbs
many oulverts he ran on over places bare
ly wide enough for man to walk IL
safety until finally the fine sleigh was
nothing but kindling wood scattered
along the track the horse had taken. Al
the bridge near the Portland & Rochester
transfer snation the horses feet went
down between the slsepsrs and his fore
legs were broken short off. There he lay
until his master came up and with an
axe put an end to the life of the valuable
animal. IL was described by those who
saw Ii as one of the widest runaways
that ever took place on Commercial
street. The owner Of the team escaped all
injury by jumping out when the horse
started to run.

THE WRONG GIRL.

She Resented His Insisting Upon Going
Out Between the Acts.
1t did not take place in the city of Wash
tngton, because no man in Washington
leaves lady alone while he goes out be-
tween the acts at theater unless 1t be his
wife, and, of course, that doesn't count.
But it did occur, and the man in the
case was perhaps 80, the girl %, and the
theater was one in which the melodrama
has it's home The girl was pretty, and
there was that kind of a jaw hedging the
lower part Of her rosy cheeks Shat ought to
have been a hint to the young man. The
young man was very fair sample of the
average chap who makes $1,000 to 81, 500
a year.
Between them and the aisle sat a big
man of so with his wife and two daugh-
tiers, and the big man had voice bigger
than he was When the curtain went down
on the first act, there was a slight scrap
between the couple, which ended In the
young man not going out between the first
and second acts because the wait was
short and be hadn't time to argue. The
girls cheeks were redder than before when
the curtain went up, and the set OF her
jaw was frmer.

slight scrap again, which ended this
time in the young man dragging himself
over four people and leaving the girl to Sit
alone until he was ready to come back to
her.
Two minutes later the girl dragged her
self after him, over the same four people.
But she stopped Ia the aisle long enough
to say something to the big man with the
two daughters Then she disappeared.
1t was long wait, and just as the cur
tain started Up the young man hurried
down the AISLE and was about to drag
himself over four people when the big man
called his attention to the vacancy which
had occurred during his absence.
The young mans jaw dropped, and he
actually grew red In the face.
The big man banded him ring with a
bright little diamond glistening in 1t.
"She gavs me that and told me to give 1T
to you," he said, with menace In his cone
as he looked over at his own girls, Hand
che said if you ever came to her house again
or spoke to her hsr father would thrash you
as you deserved.
The young man was paralyzed.
"And l want to say" added the big
party, "ti1at if the old man amt able to
do it. he can call on me-.
Then he let the young man go, and the
was he went was caution to flying ma
chine .s-Washington Star.
