EGYPTIAN KHEDIVE 70 TO-DAY, PROBARLY
 LAST OF HIS LINE

Sadness reigns in the palace of Ab- bas Hilmi, Khedive of Egypt, for he is keen observer of the trend Of events and he realizes, with bitterness of spirit. that the independence of his ancient land will soon be a thing of the past Moreover, his favorita spouse, a Hungarian woman, has left his bed and board, declaring that she would never darken his door again So there Is sorrow and 6eso1ation in his fortieth birthday, his only conso- lation is in the knowledge that the worst is yet. to come. On at least one occasion within the last year the Khedive sympathfzed with--if he did not encouragea revolution Of his EsAbjects; but son the day set for the uprising TStt hener, Of the alI-seeing eye and the all-hearing ear, marched
 his troops and sailors through ths streets of old Cairo. and ruler and peo- pie lapsed again into suIIsn acoutes- ence.
 Egypt the cradle of civilization, is. now about to fall in it's dotage before the child of it's own rear1ng-a child now become staIwart man, while
 Egypt has fallen into its second child hood. The Egypt of Menes, the glor- ious land of the Pharaohs, the seat os the PtoIemies, the home of Cleopatra,
 by turns a, Roman and Turkish prov ince, has fallen at last before the aI1-
 conQu uering sway of Great Britain, and
 it's last shred Of independ encei is soon
 to be numbered among the things that were. Already it is free in name
 only. and the Khedive is but a figure
 head. And soon, if the prophets Of Egyptian politics are justified, he will
 be less than that. Strange things
 the Sphinx of Gizeh has witnessed in it's long life, and now it is to see a blonde viceroy Of a distant throne
 ruling alone over Egypt's dnsky
 hordes.
 The Turkish flag and the Khedi-
 val banner will soon haunt their folds
 no more, and the Union Jack will fly alone along the whole course of the
 Nile. Turkish rule is now but the gray ghost of 8 shadow of former sov-
 ereignty, and in the conduct of Egyp- ton affairs Islam has no more voice than Montenegro or Switzerland, save l in such influence as the Sultan can bring to bear through appeal to re-
 ligious preferences As for the Khe- dive, he possesses even less influence than the Sultan He may encourage 1 the Nationalists in their patriotism 1 or their sedition-the word depending | upon the viewpoint-but all the men ! he could muster to his cause would | be. but as an infant in the hands of a
 giant
 Abbast Hilnai, in all probability the last of Egyptian rulers, was born for | ty& years ago to-day, July IA, 1874. l When he came to the throne in 1892 l fresh from college at Vienna and from wanderings of the world. Norn-
 ina1Iy it was a province of the Tur- 1 kish Empire. Actually it was auton- onous under the Khedive.

MIR. McADOO PUTS FARMERS
 AHEAD OF WALL STREET.

TN RESPONSE to certain questions asked of l him by The World, MT. McAdoo makes replies which prove him optimistic regarding the business condition of the country. Admit ting some depression in enterprises more di-5 rectly connected with railroads and their activ- ities, and also admitting some depression be- cause of failures caused by stockwatering, he saysythat the business of the country is good in harbinger of a period of bounding prosperity.
 Once more he renews the statement that the government will deposit sums wherever necessary to enable crops tofbe promptly nov ed, and thus is removed the occasion for a high market for money because the country basic industry is absorbing funds.

 All of these things being admitted, the pub lie will do well to scrutinize with care the new and sudden advice to compromise. The public will desire to know from what source this st1g- gestion so untimely comes, and will try to as-. certain why it comes. Director Courtade's let ter ordering work to begin forthwith shows nothing except the eagerness of the protagonists. of yVarrenite to get,the pavement down, regard less of public opinion It adds nothing to es- sentials. The city attorney says the contracts are. illegal. Warren Bros, know what he says If they obey MT. Courtade's peremptory forth with they will do it at their peril The peril is that they will not be paid for doing the work which they have no legal authority to do.
 A conpromise with the Warrenite contracts would be a compromise with disgrace.

Coast.

ST. Johns, N. F., July 11.-All pas
sengers on the coastal steamer lii
vermore, which struck on rocks neal
Brig Harbor Point, on the Labrador
coast, last night, were landed safely
today. Messages here from the
scene of the wreck said that the
steamer filled rapidly after striking
and was today resting on the rocks
with only her top deck above water
The Invermore struck while tryine
to vaoid heavy ice north of the Strait
of Belle Isle. She left here July
to go as far north as the ice would
permit, carrying heavy freight .ar-
go and many passengers.
The steamship Kyle, with drivers
and wrecking gear, was sent from
here to Brig Harbor today.
Brig harbor Point is in the north
side of Hamilton inlet. 1t is on i
desolate stretch of rock-bound coast
peopled only by few scattered fam
lilies of fishermen.
The Invermore, formerly called the
Dromedary, is owned by the Reid

URGE TEDDY TO
SAVE himself
Progressives Objectto Moose
Leader Being Made Sac
rifice in New York.

Oyster Bay, July 11.-Within the
last few days. storm Of protest has
arisen among Progressives through
out the country against Colonel
Roosevelt making the run for COVER
nor.
kilograms and letters have been
pouring in upon the Moose chief, de-
manding that he resent the efforts OF
his New york cabinet to push him
into the race.
Today nearly 100 kilograms and
half as many letters were taken to
Sycamore hill, all of an identical
note.
The argument of Roosevelt lead
ers in the other state is that he
ought to save himself for the bigger
fight in 1916, when they want him as
the candidate for president They
tell him that even if he wins the
governorship here, he will have sac
rificed in making the run the pres
ent position as the conspicuous lead
err for 1916.
For the colonel to try for the
governorship, they say, would give
the impression outside his own state
that he is merely seeking office. This,
they urge, no matter if elected, would
be disastrous not only to himself but
to his party in 1916

= Arkansas Law Unaffected.
w. T. Maxwell, in charge of the
"blue sky" department, says that in
his opinion the decision of federal
judges in Iowa, declaring the "blue
sky" law of that state unconstitu-
tional, has no bearing upon the Ar
kansas statute.
The Iowa law was held to be void
because it seeks to discriminate
against nonresident corporations in
favor Of home companies, by placing
more rigorous restrictions upon them.
No such, question can be raised against
the Arkansas law, which treats all
alike, both home and foreign. In his
opinion, there is no flaw in the Ar
kansas law which can be attacked in
the federal courts.

watched the snake crawl slowly to-
ward the nest. When it came within
three feet the mother bird left her
young ones and attacked the snake

slaughts convinced the reptile that his
hopes were in vain. The bird was saw
