Arouses Comment in the Press
of England.
THE RADICAL PAPERS.
Take Exceptions to the Former
Presidents Remarks.
Tory Publications Are Highly
Laudatory of His Adress.

London. March 29-Former President
Rooseve1t's address before the students
of the University of Egypt yesterday,
has attracted considerable comment
here, where here is a difference of opin-
ion as to the good or evil effects of
his plain talking.
In denouncing the assassination of the
late Premier Boutros Pasha Ghali, Col.
Roosevelt did rot n1ince his words with
a view to avoiding offense to the Ma
tionalists. a great many of whom have
openly synpathized with the assassin.
The radical press today takes excep-
tion to Col. Rcosevelt,s remarks and
even the moderate Westminster Gazette
says editorially:
"Disqrisitions on the readiness of
Egypt for self government, while per-
n7itted to men without great position,
are perhaps better hushed in the
breasts of -presidents.'
Recalling Mr.. Gladstone's pronounce
ment in regard to the early indiscre-
ton of the present Lord Halsbury,
mistakes which are pardonable in a
private Individual become scandalous
in on ex-soIicitor general
The Gazette recognizes Mr. Roose-
velt's desire to be friendly and helpful
to Great Britain. but says his pro-
nouncement is not calculated to make
easier the path of the government in
Egypt.
On the other hand. the Tory press
is highly Iaudatory of the fearless de-
ciaratioas. The Pail Mall Gazette con-
siders that the American statesman has
done a service not only to the Egyp-
tians but to the cause of human prog
ress throughout the world.
Mr.. Roosevelt ID providing our pull
ing sentimentalists of the Keir Hardie
breed with a healthy spectacle of the
representative of the greatest den1oc-
racy in the world giving psuedo-De-
mecracy. a sound trovnciDg.'
The Evening Standard warmly ap-
proves the address as tsthe wise words
of a great statesman So
Quiet Day for RooseveIts.

Cairo. March 29.-This evening 200
students from the University of Egypt
made demonstration in front of Shep-
herds hotel. where Colonel Roosevelt
is stopping. The students carried an
Egyptian flag and as they paraded past
the hosteIry shouted:
Long live the constitution and the
liberty of Egypt
Mr.. Roosevelt paid no attention to-
the students. The latter were orderly
and after giving expression to their
sentiments dispersed.

by the nro- British expression made by

versity yesterday.
