time that Mr.. Roosevelt leaves
Egypt today for during his brief
stay at Cairo he has managed to
arouse the rage and indignation
OF the NdtlOnallStS to an eXtraOr.
dinary pitch, and his speech at
the Egyptian university has made
native politicians mad with fury.
After the dd mOuitiOn he received
from the Vernacutar press over
his remarks in the Sudan, the
natives fully expected that the
eX-Presldent would obey their
wishes and that his Cairo speech
! would be quite a contrast 10 his
u>terances further up the Nile,
but to their cons formation and
dl,may the NaGOnaMsts tind that

ing the meeting.
Ahmed Said Loutti of "Al

Egyptians were quite civilized
enough to qualify for a constitu,
ton and invited his hearers to
"go and take it.
Ally Bey Fehmy Kamel, the
Vice Presidnet Of the Extremists,
made a violent attack on Mr..
Roosevelt, in the course of which
he remarked:
They said that Mr.. Roosevelt
is the great and liberal man who
loves justice and equality but
this is false and untrue. Mr..
Roosevelt imputed ignorance
aud cowardise to US in the course
of his speech. In order to attain
the Dustour Mr.. Roosevelt said,
'you must be brave men. aud
you cannot be so until you have
/ walked through the way of ed
ucation. But this orator seems
to have forgotten that the people,
who cannot read and write
among his own nation amount to
80 per cent of the total, Mr..
Roosevelt is Dutch in origin.
In other words he belongs to the
race, who are as submmissiv
to their ruler as slaves to their
masters. They cannot do any
thing without the will of their
ruler, so much that Dutchman
can not wear a new suit of
clothes without the permission
Of the Sovereign, and they only
care then to filing their pockets
with gold
