Ismail. on finding himself shorn of every yes
tige OF power, made desperate attempt to
recover It by dismissing his foreign ministers.
and thereupon compelled to abdicate in
favor of his Tewfik. whom he hated. The
next two years witnessed still further aliena-
ton of Khedivial authority to English and
French control. OF course this was dstasteful

countries. where the intervention usually comes

impaired, experienced difficulty in exciting a
popular instruction, which had for its object
not merely the elimination OF all foreign par

country but even the expulsion of all foreigners
from Egypt, the people being given to believe
that in that way all their obligations to their
foreign creditors would be cancelled and their

ADVISED LORD BEACONsFIELD.

Delane's relations with Lord Beaconsfeld were
of the most intimate and closest character. In
fact, Delane about the only man whose
criticisms Beaconsfeld, especially in his later
years would consent to accept, and To whose
advice he would defer Many stories have been
told of the manner in which Lord Beaconsfied
made his amazing coup of obtaining for Eng
land financial control of the Suez Canal. through
the purchase of the founders shares of Khedive
1smail. There several persons who claim
credit for having advised Disraeli in the matter
But if the truth were known it would be found
that Delane played important role in the
affair and that il the counsel that he gave
in this connection that proved more Weighty
than that of any else. True, no mention is
made thereof in Dasents Memoirs of his uncle
But then the book is full of manifest reticences,
and It is possible that may have to wait for
q full story Of the transaction until the present
Lord Rothschild. who was the financial agent
of the Tory Premier in the purchase of the
shares relates what he knows about it. or until
Lord Beaconsfield's voiuminous letters and
diaries are published by Mr.. Monypenny. one OF
the directors and editors of THE Times. and
to whom the vast mass of documents left by
Disraeli were turned over by the iatters literary
executors after the death couple of years ago

Britain by these cable messages and letters

add that. Notwithstanding the fact that British

twenty-four hours afterward.

years the correspondent and representative Of

IL. 4. Smith Of Sanger, Oliver
county, has proved to- 9he satisfac-
tion OF himself and all persons who
have seen some of his corn, raised onl
his farm at Pretty Point, on the
Missouri river, that North Dakota
will produce as good corn as any of
the older corn growing states. Mr..
Smith has bred UP the old Squaw
corn, that had four to six rows of
kernels on an ear five or six inches
long, until this year he raised ten
acres of corn, with fourteen to six
teen rows Of kernels, growing on an
ear eleven to twelve inches long, all
rows and kernels Well filled, and the
ears resembling in coror and firm
ness the best Of the dent corn raised
in the corn states further east
Mr.. Smith has been a farmer and
stock raiser of Oliver county for if
teen years, and began experiments
with the development of corn when
he first began farming. He selected
seed from the. old Squaw corn, and
by care and cultivation, and the Sc
lection of the best seed, has produced
native corn that equals anything
to be seen in any state. The corn
Of which he; had samples in the city
/ yesterday, was planted this year on
May 20 and was pulled September
16, although it was ripe several days
before the latter date. ssy..
The present year was not an ex-
ceptionally good year, being, MI
Smith says, little below the average
of the years he has grown corn. The
field is on the second bench up from
the Missouri river, and the soil is
inclined to be sandy. The corn was
cultivated three times in the course
/ Of the season, and the field runs
tevenIy, throughout. The ears he
brought to the city are now on dis.
/ play at the state capitol. i.
Mr.. Smith has bought the old Grit.
tendon home property and will re
model 1t and provide q residence
for himself and family. He has
three children. Twenty years ago he
was a workman in Bismarck. He
went to Oliver county, bought a team
and added to his land holdings from
time to time, until now he owns S0(
acres Of land, stocked with grade
cattle and shire horses. He is ar
