In the second year after his marriage
King B'Um-Rel overthrew Mr..
Whoopitup and the senate. There was
at that time steady stream of immi-
grafton flowing into Egypt, aud many
of the ignorant foreigners, not finding
Egypt the land of promise that the
transportation companies had pro-
claimed it to be, resorted to deeds of
violence. Then the king and Mr.. Doo-
Little concocted deep scheme.
When their plans were perfected the
king limited to certain senators that
there was great danger to Egypt in
the constant thrush of foreigners; that
at time when work was scarce they
would not hesitate to mob and assault
the sacred persons of the senators; that
it would be wise to prohibit all immi-
grafton for number of years; that at
the end of, say ten yssrs, Il circnm-
stances had changed, OF the demsnd
for imported iaborers had increased,
the prohibitive law could easily be re-
pealed; ETC., etc. Now the senate was
dominated by Mr.. Whoopitup, and he,
as railroad and steamship magnate,
was against the restriction of immigra-
tion. But Mr.. Doo-Little took him in
hand, and changed his mind. One af-
ternoon when Mr.. .Whoopitup was
emerging from his sky-scraper Office

gang Of foreigners-organ and led
by one of Mr.. Doo-Little's agents
surrounded the magnate, and jostled
him, and playfully tapped him on the
jaw, and on his bump of acquisitive.

could be heard such shouts as these

Mr.. Doo-Little, who happened along
rescued him from his assailants, anC
escorted him to his carriage. The nex1
day bill prohibiting foreign immigra
tion was introduced in, and passed by
the senate, and signed by the king.
Shortly after this the king openly ac
cused Mr.. Whoopitup of charging extor
tionate rates for the carrying of freigh
and passengers on his railroads, ca
mails, steamboats,, street cars, etc, and de
manded in the name Of the people tha
