EGYPT FEARS REVOLT
FANATICS THREATEN FOREIGN

MosIem Hatred Growing and Needs
Little to Infiame It-British Cabi-
net Minister Sees Downfall of
khediye-ChoIera in Manila.

American lives and the lives and prop
erty of all other foreigners resident in
Egypt are threatened by Moslem fanati-
cism, which is growing more rabid and
dangerous daily So rampant has it al
ready become that the British foreign
secretary, Sir Edward Grey, declared in
the House of Commons Thursday that the
government of Egypt may fall before the
imminent onslaught and through the vas
sal hhedive Great Britain itself be men
aced in its position of supremacy in the
region of the Nile Fanatic feeling Of
hatred against all foreigners is being as
siduously famed by Mohammedan priests
and the turbulent Arab element The
mosques are furnaces which are keeping
the people at white heat, declared the for
eign secretary. and at any time under
the least prOvocation the whole of Egypt
may break forth in a religious war which
would mean the determination Of the
whites Sir Edwards speech was brought
forth by denunciation of the fogging of
the murderers of the British officers who
were lately massacred in Egypt. John
Dillon, nationalist, strongly denounced
what he termed the brutal barbarism of
ing Sir Edward of desire to cloak the
affair. COUGHING his answer in solemn
tones and amid tense silence, the min
ister declared chat the recent attack on
British officers at Tantab was not acct
dental, but a deliberate manifestation of
the fanatical spirit which had necessitat-
ed the strengthening of the British garri-
sons in Egypt. He declared that unless
the authority of Lord Cromer and the
Egyptian government was strongly up
held it might lead to a situation requiring
the adoption of such unconstitutional
measures to meet the emergency as would
be especially distasteful to the liberal
government. The secretary proceeded to
refer TO the great growth of fanatical
feeling in Egypt and throughout North
Africa recently, which might necessitate
even further measures to protect Euro
peans in Egypt.

VII SONS UEUTENANTS FIGHT SENATOR ANKENY

Palouse project on a favorable basis.
1t will be insisted that if Ankeny used
his committeeship he could hold up all
other irrigation projects until the Pa
louise scheme went through.
AS matter of fact, Senator
Ankeny's committe has nothing to do
with the Palouse project That is
handled in the interior department un-
der the direction of the reclamation
bureau. The departments refusal to
take up the enterprise is in the nature
of a final disposition Of it.
Sent Expert to State.
Senator Ankeny induced the recla-
nation bureau, after the Palouse pro-
ject had been abandoned. to send E.
L. Grunsky, the highest priced man
in the governments irrigation service
and an expert in irrigation matters, to
this state to investigate the Palouse
project. Mr. Grunsky has just return
ed to Washington bearing an unfavor-
able report According to him the
estimated cost is $66 per acre, whereas
the cost of irrigation in the Sunnyside
district is not to exceed $35 per acre.
In view Of this Mr.. Grunsky's report is
in favor of indefinite postponement-
Despite this fact a fight waged
AGAINST AnlSepv hecaISe of the failure
of the Palouse project will find sup
port. In the district around Walla
Walla the farming country is pretty
well occupied and the territory which
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-04-02

it was sought to irrigate would have
afforded much relief.
There is little to be gained immedi-
ately by fight against Ankeny's con-
troll of the legislative ticket in South
eastern Washington. In his home
county Senator Pauly will hold over.
Senator Hutson holds over from Walla
Walla, Franklin and Adams. Senator
Boone, in Whitman county, is another
hold-over and Senator Russell stays in
the senate from Asotin, Garfield and
Columbia DR.. G. B. Wilson is the
only state senator to be elected this
year from Southeastern Washington
and the only man who would sit in the
legislature that elected Ankeny's sue
cessor. The real legislative fight in
that section will come two years from
now.
Lorton, who is to manage, the new
anti-Ankeny organ, was put in charge
of Ankeny's organ, the Walla Walla
Union, after the legislature of 1908
that elected Ankeny. He was dis
placed last summer and later was
compelled to resign as chairman Of
the Walla Walla county republican
committee. He has lined up against
his former employer, and with Warden
A. F. Kees, of the state penitentiary,
heads a faction that falls midway be-
tween the Ankeny and Boxer Organiza-
tions. 1t will probably ultimately line
up with the Boxers.
