London, June 1.-English official
dom refuses to comment publicly OF
Colonel Roosevelt's speech at Guild
Hall yesterday when he advised the
English people to rule Egypt IL they
thought to do, or to get out. 1t is
plain many officials fear that the
speech may result in an upheaval of
Anglo Egyptian returns. Many de-
clare Roosevelt violated diplomatic
propriety and compare his speech &c
the Lord Sackville West incident
when President Cleveland dismissed
the British ambassador for advising
citizens to vote for Cleveland
The press is dumfounded at Roose-
yelt's utterances. The Evening Star
says: "He is guilty OF a grave Of
fense against the laws binding host
and guest" The Manchester Guardian
calls his views muddled and boyish.
The Standard calls his speech social
crime. and little short of sacrilege.
All newspapers concede Roosevelt's s
arraignment Of the English people
after receiving the city's highest hon
or violated propriety.
The Times warns Roosevelt that
he must not be surprised SHOULD un-
pleasant manifestations occur due to
the senttiveness resulting from his
criticisms The average citizens are
angered over his speech. They frank
ly state he talked of things that is
none Of his business.
The Chronicle declares the speech
Outraged every conventional canon
OF international propriety." and the
Graphic declares Even Socrates was
poisoned for giving too much ad-
vice"
The Standard terms the colonels
speech as a humiliating rebuke from
an alien critic"
Teddy Not Faxed.
Apparently unfazed by his present
unpopularity, Roosevelt spent nearly
an hour reading the various comments
upon his yesterdays speech relative
to the British administration in
Egyptian affairs. Apparently the
criticisms did not ruffle him. Roose-
welt was the guest of honor at
luncheon given by the members of
parliament. The nationalist leader,
John Redmond, presided.
Something picturesque was looked
for from the former president of the
United States. but in view of his ut
terances in Egypt, in which he gave
praise in full measure to the British
government for the development that
followed British rule there. il was
not expected he would revert to that
subject especially to take England
to task.
But with frankness that caused a
stir among those who had gathered IN
the ancient guild hall to witness the
ceremony Of comforting upon him the
freedom of the city of London, Mr..
Roosevelt declared that while Eng
land had given Egypt the best gov
ernment in 1000 years, yet recent
events, following the assassination of
Premier Boutros Pasha, had shown
that in certain vital points the Brit |
ish government had erred and that
Englands object in Egypt was the
establishment Of order.
Either you have or you have not
the right to remain in Egypt and es-
tablsh and keep order. II you have /
not the right and have not the desire !
to keep order then by all means get
out. But IL as | hope you feel your
