Carlo, Egypt, November 2S
Abbas, the second, khedive Of Egypt
has been deposed and Prince Husseir
Pasha reigns in his stead. 1t Is un'
known what title the new sovereign
will assume. Abbas the seconds re-
signation was brought about through
the rage and jealousy Of a discarded
woman. On the occasion of one Of his
excursions to Vienna some time ago
the ex-khedive met and fell in love
with a beautiful girl. He took her to
Egypt with him and installed her a,
the palace of Koubbeh, near Carlo
as prime favorite. For three years
she held sway and all was wei. Bu'
the khedive wearied Of her and des'
pite his inamorita's pleadings, she
was finally packed off back to
Austria vowing vengeance. Before
long her rage took definite form
and 1t was she who disclosed the
political intrigues Of her royal master
with Turkey and Germany. The re-
left Egypt somewhat hurriedly, and
Is not likely ever to return.
-Ashboro, N. c., Nov. 80: Lowe
Daniels. charged with shooting ano
killing his sister, Cora Daniels, his Sis
ter-in-law, Ethel Luther, and Edgar
Warner, q visitor at the Daniels home
and probably fatally woundfng his
wife at their home near here on Sat
urday night, was taken to the scene OF
the crime for a preliminary hearing
He had been lodged in Jail here since
yesterday. Daniels, since his arrest
has refused to talk Of the crime. He
laughs incoherently whenever the
triple killing is mentioned and accord
ing to Jail officials appears to be in
sane. According to information from
the scene Of the killing Daniels came
home Saturday night after an absence
of three days. Following brief quar-
rel, 1t is alleged that he drew a revol-
yer and shot and killed his sister, Miss
Luther and Warner. Mrs. Daniels was
shot through the shoulder as she fled
from the room, 1t is alleged. Physl-
clans say she can not recover. Omcers
say that when arrested, Daniels was
sitting in the room with the bodies
picking banjo and singing.
The effects Of the war on the prices
Of provisions had, until late in October
hardly made itself apparent here, says
a Berlin correspondent In the last rev
days, however, a sharp general rise
has set in, embracing practically ev-
erything except meats, which, owing 70
Germany's unusually large stock OF
swine, have risen but little. Vegeta-
bles have practically disappeared from
the market. Some lentils are to be
had, but only inferior culls. Beans are
scarce and hulled peas are not to De
had. The government recently conns-
Gated all coffee held at Hamburg, by
English warehouses, but even with
this, the supply Is running short and
prices have increased markedly. Fresh
oranges or lemons are rarely to be hao
and with the entrance OF Turkey into
the war the supply Of dates and hgs
will probably be cut off. Cold storage
duced, and 1t will be but short time
before there will be none to be had
Potatoes have reached prices which
are a hardship to the poorer classes
Last year at this time they cost 81
cents for 110 pounds. Today the price
Is s1.25. The rise in grain prices was
such that as has been reported, the
federal council was obliged to set 8
limit to them. The prices thus fixed
however, are very high. They are:
Wheat, $1.69 per bushel Git has reach
ed SLID; barley, s1.62: rye, s1.44. The
high price Of barley particularly Is d.
rectly due to the fact that the impor-
tations Of barley from Russia are cut
of. Potato -four, which generally costs
50 to $3.50 per ton less than rye flour
is now quoted at substantially the
same figure as rye flour.

not followed the case and its de-
velopment closely, and while l have
read about it in the newspapers, !
can say that 1 have not the slightest
opinion as to the guilt or innocence
of the convicted man. When l arrive
at my own conclusion l shall write
out my opinion, as l always do when
application is made for executive
clemency l shall be guided solely by
the merits Of the case and my own

The people have recognized that the

just like human beings, and for that
reason they have invested in their ex-

The apparent failure of the cotton
pool scheme has given stimulus to
efforts iniated before that pool was
far advanced to induce purchasers OF
cotton by inventors, says a Chicago
dispatch. 1t is not merely brokers
and persons of speculative habit that
are urging purchases, but substantial
people north and south. They declare
that cotton is selling nearly so per
cent below the cost of production.
and that, while the buyer may have
to wait a considerable time for a
profit. he will be ure to get one.
The success Of the trading since the
cotton exchanges opened indicates
safety at least in the investment, and
the buyer would probably have to
count only on the question whether
carrying charges would equal or ex-
ceed the enhancement in the value of
the merchandise. The plan of storing
cotton with no thought of selling 1t
at current prices has been adopted
much more widely than is commonly
supposed. There are people in Chicago
that are taking this course. An in
stance is that of Henry Pope, presi-
dent of the Paramount Knitting COM
pany, who has built a warehouse at
Kankakee, H., for this one purpose of
storing 5000 bales of cotton in excess
of what his business is likely to need.
He is urging a similar policy on other
people, and his gospel of sell high
priced grain and hold low priced cot
ton," seems a reasonable one. The
point is we'll taken that Europe, with
phenomenally low-priced cotton. plus
