Mutiny In Egypt.

Berlin, Feb. 5.-The news from Egypt
of mutiny among the Egyptian troops at
Khartoum is regarded here gravely, es-
pecially as private dispatches confirm re-
ports previously received. In circles close
to the government it is considered that a
spread of mutiny and an uprising like
Arab Bey's is within the possibilities.
Here it is also believed that in such case
France would be sure to actively inter
NEEDLE, probably backed up by Russia.
An article by Sir Edward j. Reed, chief
constructor of the navy of the emperor,
in the Deutsche Revue, is creating pleas
ant sensation, the article being extremely
appreciative and sympathetic, instancing
a number of points from the writer's per-
sonal observation, showing his majesty's
remarkably close and accurate informa-
ton about naval and other difficult mat
tiers, and the emperor's freedom from pre-
judice.
The United States embassy is gratiied
at the fact that for months there has
been a perfect lull in the complaints
about German official seizures and vex-
atious delays of American meats and fruit.
Except few trifing cases nothing has
been heard of that description.

London, Feb. 5.-Mr. Cunningham Ora
hame, former member of parliament, in
quires in an open letter what Great Brit
ain has gained "by all our squirmings and
grovelings before the United States" as
he defines Great Britain's good will, and
he thus answers:
San open door. Yes. And booted foot
to kick us through it. 1t was ever the
sneak's reward to be thus treated"
He assumes the sympathy of the United
States is with the Beers. England has
failed in receiving, not the sympathy, but
almost the neutrality of the United States
and that is Great Britain's reward for
having thrown over Spain, her ancient
ally, and coming msgnanimously to the
assistance of the United States.
The Standard among its death notices
today prints the following:
"McLachlan-On Christmas, shot in
Market square, Harrismith, Orange Free
State, for refusing to fight against his
own countrymen, John McLachlan, Jr.,
aged 80, eldest son of John. McLachlan
of Wordsworth and grandson of the late
John McLachlan of Lambet."
The Spectator, commenting on the
above, says that if the statement con.
tanned in the notice is true the whole
English-speaking world should ring with
denunciation of crime so detestable.
Especially" it adds, Should Americans
speak out on such a matter, for they
showed the true way in their treatment Of
technical rebels and set an example to
mankind"

GouId's Butler Drunk.

New York, Feb. 5.-Howard Gould and
his wife gave dinner party recently to
Senator and Mrs. John NJ. Thurston and
a dozen other distinguished guests The
entire party went to the theater and the
conduct of affairs at the house was in the
hands of John Tibbs, butler in chief.
Tibbs spent the evening trying choice
wines, and was gloriously drunk when the
guests returned. Other help tried to sup
press him, but the noise he made reached
the dining hall. Then Tbbs marched in
among the guests and offered to whip the
whole American nation. Tbbs is English,
and resents the pro-Boer sympathy. How
ard Gould tried to quiet him, but could
not, and with hasty apology to his
guests proceeded to throw Hbbs out 1t

New California Senator.

Sacramento, Feb. 5.-At present it looks
very much as though Thomas Bard, the
nominee of the republican caucus, will
be elected to the United States senate
on Tuesday. After the 80 who are sup
porting Daniel Burns had bolted the eau
Gus so remained, who give it as their
intention to stand by Bard to the end.
They claim that the SO boilers are bound
by the terms of the call to vote for Bard
and that even though they do not enough
democrats will vote for him to secure his
election.

There are some interesting photographed
notes in the preface which Mr.. Allen has pre-
pared for the edition OF one Of his best
books "A Kentucky Cardinal" and its sequel,
Aftermath" He tells us about the Kentucky
farm to which he was taken a child. There
l continued to live" he says, until l was
twenty-five years of age, without ever having
been outside the State Of Kentucky having
seen more than once or twice any but the
nearest village" From window in the farm
house he received the first impressions of the
physical world that took shape and meaning
in his mind. and he says: Whatsoever unim-
pOrtant habits of observation 1 possess were
there formed. directed and acquired; and if

ternal things they seem TO US and the

origin Of it all goes back to that time and
place" Not one of Mr.. Aliens books alone. but
ali of them have profited by those early ex-
periences. He describes his father, riding back
ward and forward across the fields sowing
hemp. II is plain that the memory of that
horseman counted when he came TO write The
Reign Of Law" He continues:
What I have now come TO and am trying to

The new edition is illustrated by a man whose
drawings never fail TO yield delight, Mr.. Hugh
Thomson. The work of that prolific artist has
| hitherto seemed so closely identified with Eng
lish subjects that would hardly expect TO
find American material adequately used in his
hands. AS a matter Of fact, his drawings are
most felicitously adapted to Mr.. Aliens text.
They are good bits OF draughtsmanship and
they are really illustrations in the best sense
OF the word. The book Is luxuriousIy printed
and has most decorative, refined cover in red

those masterpieces, have met with success.
