Egypt's improvements,

Lord Cromer's review of Egypt's
finances in 1900 shows a revenue of
S5S,9l5,OOO and surplus of $2,795. 900
AS the Nile was exceptionally low last
year this is considered a good show
ing. 1t beats 1899, when the revenue
was greater than in amy preceding
year. Some s1,675,O 900 of the public
debt was paid off, reducing that bur
den to $513,570,000, including over
S36,0OO,C00 in the sinking fund. Pub
tic burdens were otherwise reduced
Bridge and lock dues on the Nile were
abolished, irrigation was aided. the
prison administration was reformed,
and prisoners are nc longer to be fed
at the expense Of their friends outside.
Education is a growing interest. and
young Egyptians show much anxiety
10 learn English, thinking they will
thus be more likely to get appoint
ments N the civil service. Formerly.
previous to the Fashoda crisis, French
was preferred, as the English regime
was thought to be temporary. The
Soudan has been tranquil, with abund-
ant rains and good crops, but still fig
ures on the debt side of the account.
1t IS designed to spend more on the
Soudan railways and irrigation, with
view to the industrial development
of the country. The clearing away of
the sud- in the Upper Nile already IA

washington, Aug. 17-News has
been received in this country involv-
ing Venezuela, Nicaragua and Ecuador
IN the attempt of General Rafael Uri-
be-Uribe, the Colombian rebel leader,
to overthrow the government of Col
ombia.
A year ago it was known to the
colombian authorities that the rebels
under Tribe were receiving material
assistance from these republics, and
| recent developments and information
received by Colombian secret service
| agents confirm the belief that these
countries are preparing open and 81
multaneous attacks upon Colombia.
The plan of attack has practically
been agreed upon. Large numbers
| Of Nicaraguans have already joined
| the rebels in the department of Pana-
ma, and with these marauding bands
the United States will have to deal if
it becomes necessary to land marines
at Colon or Panama to protect Ameri-
can interests on the isthmus.
| Venezuela's point of attack will nat
urally be from the Colombian-Venezu-
elan border, where the recent battles
are reported to have taken place be-
tween Venezuelan regulars and an in
vading army commanded by General
Gonzales Valencia. He has under him
! 10000 Colombian regulars, and if he
has invaded Venezuelan territory with
his force, war between the two repub-
lies is inevitable
II the present plans are carried out
the rendezvous of the Ecuadorian in
vaders will be in the southern part of
the department of Cauca, where two
Colombian rebel generals are now
said to be encamped with 1000 troops
A war among these three republics
would be one of the most disastrous
conflicts in the history of South Amer
! lea.
Castro is ambitious to secure control
of the isthmus of Panama He has
| for the last year taken every occasion
to embarrass the United States, going
so far as to invite Germany to pur-
chase the Marguerite island, off the
| coast of Venezuela, and convert it into
naval base, because he knew that
this would be in conflict with the Mon
roe doctrine and would involve the
United States in a quarrel with Ger
many.
Castro desires to secure control of
the isthmus, that he may hold up this
government and compel it TO pay an
eXorbitant sum for the concession.
1t is denied at the state department
that there are any diplomatic efforts
to secure a concession from Colombia
for the old De Lesseps canal, but it is
claimed that this government is bound
| by treaty obligations to guarantee the
neutrality Of the isthmus and also
protect Colombian sovereignty there.
This guarantee is regarded as binding
against the forcible federation of Co.
| lombia with Venezuela and Ecuador,
| as well as against the attempted seiz-
ure Of the isthmus by any European
power.
1t is supposed that there has been
European inspiration behind the move
ments of Castro and General Tribe,
as well as their natural cupidity.

The Incident Which Gained Quaker
Votes for Senator Gear.


Votes for Senator Gear.
The late Senator Gear, of Iowa. had
one characteristic that is not peculiar
to the politician; he was notably frank
and outspoken on all occasions and
never endeavored to conceal by decep-
ton his shortcomings. Senator
Dolliver recently recalled an instance
in which the exhibition of this trait
worked to lhr. Gears advantage.
Gear was a candidate for congress.
The prohibition sentiment was run
ming high in his district and the
temperance people concluded to put
the candidate through an examination.
They held meeting to which they
inV4eed Mr.. Gear. He accepted. The
chairman of the netting was a
Quaker.
I'VE learn" said the Quaker to Mr..
Gear, that thee dost not belong to
any temperance society, and that thee
dost take a drink when it pleases
thee?"
That is true replied Mr.. Gear
without any hesitation.
Thee are very frank" said the
Quaker, and thy frankness is more
to commended than thy habits. We
do not think the ought to drink, bu,
II thou lust lied to us we would not
nave supported thee. Thee wilt now
receive our votes"
And Mr.. Gear did get their votes.
