CAIRO. IAN. 20-Relations between
tbe Sultan and the Khedive continue
strained. From all appearances the sit
uation can be changed only by an abso-
lutte '.climb down" on the part Of one or
the other. / have interviewed officials
and various eminent Sheiks.
The facts of lie case are that the
Egyptian Government desired to change
the route of the holy carpet pilgrimage
to Mecca and Medina and telegraphed to
the Hedjez of Mecca suggesting that the
hitherto to Jedda and Mecca and thence
by seventeen days journey across the
desert to Medina and thence by way of
FL Wach to Cairo. should return from
Mecca to Jedda and proceed by steamer
to Yambo and make the pilgrimage to
Medina from land, returning to that
port.
The Hedjez referred the matter TO the
Sultan. who refused TO guarantee the
safety of the caravan between Yambo
and Medina, stating that the local tribes
were hostile. The Egyptian Government
thereupon dispatched Rifaat Pasha. who
will escort the holy carpet on it's pill
grlmage, to endeaVor to arrange by
means of a backsheesh with the Sheiks
of the local tribes for safe journey be-
tween Yambo and Medina
Two days after the departure of Ri
faat Pasha from Cairo the Grand
Vizier at Constantinople telegraphed
to the Khedive stating that an
trade had been issued absolutely for
bidding the holy carpet making the
journey between Yambo and Medina.
The Khedive replied, praying for a re-
consideration of the decision and stating
that otherwise the holy carpet would
not visit Medina at all. No reply has
been received from the Porte, but it is
certain that unless Medina is visited the
pilgrimage will be shorn of part of its
sacred character.
Considerable disauietude has already
been manifested among devout Mussul-
mans here who. while deploring the Sui
tans decision, by no means welcome that
of the Egyptian Government. preferring
the arduous and expensive desert jour
ney from Mecca rather than miss visit
ing Medina.
| understand the question of the pill
grimage route is not the only bone of
contention between the Porte and Egypt.
