=. Carried OF the Ruler.
In this work about the most the khedIve
had to do was to remain quiescent. Nor did
Lord Cromer oppose this queer partial mon
arch unnecessarily. Until 1892 he had to do
with Khedive Tewfik. Then an attack of
influenza carried of that ruler and opened
the succession to his son. Abbas II.
Abbas II Is called blessed by his people,
but 1t must be admitted that the good
things that have come to the country are
the result OF British enterprise

came to the throne. He is a mystic, a
man. spent most of his time in prayer At
Cairo. the royal residence he finds hia ia

has had erected for himself and his brother
Prince Mahomet Ali. None but these two
august rulers dare come to pray In this

But if the khedive somewhat lacks Il,
energy. trait that can in part be excused
as the natural languid temperament of the
south, he Is very amiable, man with many
virtues. He Is a most devoted family man,
and is fond of his children In thorough
sympathy at all times with the aims of the
British that will help advance Egypt. he
has nevertheless shown quite a little force
in forestalIing any efforts to replace the
faith of his fathers with the Christian re-
Hgfon. Vain Of his descent from Mahomet
Ali. the founder Of the dynasty. he always
insists quietly but firmly, that the religion
of Mahomet must not be displaced.
Abbas Travelled in Europe before he came
to the throne, and also enjoyed the advan-
tage of fair schooling in Switzerland and
Australia. In appearance he Is Of good

but little more elevation on the ends
would recall the celebrated adornment OF
the Emperor of Germany. He gave
hearty welcome to Lord Gorst, and there

His Is the credit of having created and

Lord Cromer. during his term of office,

This place was filled by Lord Cromer with
