GORST EGYPT'S REAL RULER

The famous speech which Col. Theodore Roose-
welt made in London, following the one which he
made in Egypt, has attracted attention to that
country, and to Sir Eldon Gorst, British agent and
consul general in Egypt, who was the real ruler
in that part OF John Bulls domain.
Sir Eldon Gorst succeeded Lord Cromer in
Egypt a little more than three years ago, but
previously he had had much experience in that
country. He first went to Cairo in 1886 as an
attache and has been promoted gradually to his
present position. The criticism against him is
that he is too conciliatory; that he has not been
sufh ciently firm in dealing with the Nationalist
