was hardly under fire and was quickly re-

Arab in Egypt, the Duke of Connaught was
allowed TO hold command under Lord
Wolseley, who il is said before leaving
England, was admonished not to let any
thing happen to the Prince. and he was
careful not to. Connaught's troops were
held in reserve at the battle Of Tel el Kebir

they should be used TO assault the rebel

and more disasters beside. What the Mar

impress Europe with contempt for the mill

the Empire, and tend to change latent
jealousies and animosities into active
aggressions.
What appeared a probable danger two or
three days ago is rapidly developing into
an imminent menace. If what is 10 be

From interviews with several Southern
and Western Democratic Senators and
Members. published in the New York
papers today, it appears evident that the
lesson of the November election has not
yet been absorbed in some quarters as
thoroughly as 1t might have been Plainly,
there are still alleged Democrats who
think they can make a live issue out OF a
settled question like national expansion.
They will realize their mistake when they
try it on. In the meantime. they are fill
