Theodore Roosevelt is responsible for
the determination of Abbas Pasha,

according to a report current here.
BY his speeches in Khartoum and
Cairo, in which he pleaded for the
strength of English rule in Egypt and
urged the Egyptians to submit peace
ably to such rule, Roosevelt is de-
clared to have stirred up such activity
on the part of the Young Turks, who
constitute the Nationalist party, that
the khedive has found his continued
rule beset by too many perplexities
and has decided to abdicate.
