rBy Cable 20 The tribune
Cairo, Dec ls.-"Long live Sultan
Hussein!" is the cry which will be re-
sounding throughout Cairo and Egypt
as these lines are being read. Its glad
sound heralds the end Of the 400year-
old connection between Turkey and
Egypt. A new and promising chapter
is being opened in the long and fasci-
mating history Of the land Of the
Pharaohs, and il is appropriate and
auspicious that the Nile lands new era
of promise should be opened under the
sovereignty of its most enlightened and
popular prince.
Sultan Hussein is an uncle Of the
deposed Khedive. Abbas Pschs Hilmi,
who has made common cause with the
enemies of Egypt and the empire. The
new ruler is q man Of distinguished
appearance. and is undoubtedly the
most highly cultured member Of the
Khedival family lie received his
early scientific and linguistic educs-
tion in Egypt, and later went 70 Paris
20 carry on mis- studies. His father
commended him to the care Of Emperor
Napoleon III, and that monarch re-
ceived him as an honored guest at the
brilliant Court Of the Tuileries. To
Empress Eugene he was like a son, and
soon became a fsvorite companion Of
the ill-starred Prince Imperial. After
a while Prince Hussein had his own
residence in Paris. where he established
a much-frequented salon.
When the Suez Canal was about 20
be opened Prince Hussein returned 20
Egypt, where he was nominated In
spector General Of the Provinces OF the
Delta. A mission 20 Italy followed. and
then the prince returned 10 Paris 20
finish his studies. He left the city only
ten days before the Germans closed
around IL in 1870. and two months after
his return 20 his native land MS father
appointed him Inspector OF Upper and
Lower Egypt.
Thus began Prince Hussein's long
and highly successful administrative
career, and in several posts he gained
an experience which will now stand
him in good stead positions in which
he proved himself 20 be a man Of
statesmanlike abilities. AZ Minister Of
Public Instruction he accomplished
much excellent work in establishing
bursaries and awarding prizes Of all
kinds, which acted as very healthy
stimulus 10 the rising generations Of
Egyptian students.
Prince Hussein went 10 the Ministry
OF Public Works. and while there he
superintendent the building Of the rail-
way from Cairo 70 Helwan. a period
as Minister Of the Interior followed,
and the prince then became Minister Of
War. While he held the latter post
war with Abyssinia broke out, and IL
was due in no small degree 70 his ad-
ministrative powers that in a brief
space Of time an army eXccllently
equipped was sent 70 that country.
The last Office that the prince held
was that Of Minister Of Finance. II
will be seen, therefore, that the new
ruler has had p varied and all around
experience in the administration Of the
country Of which he now is called 20
be the head.

Full British Protection
Promised to All Subjects

London. Dec. Is The British acting
High COMMISSIONS for Egypt, Milne
Cheeham. has addressed the following
20 the new Sultan of Egypt:
"By reason of your age and expert
ence. you have been chosen as the
prince of the family Of Mehemet Ali
most worthy to occupy the Khedival po-
sition, with the title of Sultan OF
Egypt
81 give you assurance that Great
Britain will accept the fullest response
bility for the defence Of the territories
under you against all aggression. All
Egyptian subjects will be entitled 70
receive the protection of the British
government. There will disappear the
restrictions heretofore placed by the
Ottomans on the numbers and organi-
zation of the Egyptian army"
Mr.. Cheetham details efforts which
he says England made 70 avoid war
with Turkey, and which were frus-
trated BY the war party and the Otto
man Cabinet He declares there is
ample evidence that Abbss Hilmi had
thrown in his lot with the enemies Of
Great Britain. with the result that the
rights over the Egyptian executive by
the Sultan Of Turkey and the late Khe-
dive are forfeited"

MUST WATT ON COMMISSION.
Mayor Scholey Admits Grave Difficult
ties in Dealing With G.. and M.

The regulation of speed of the cars
of the Chicago and Milwaukee Elec-
trio Railway over Kenosha crossings
must await the action of the railroad
commission. This was the decision
reached by Mayor Scholey on Tuesday
and he declared that he had been fore
ed to accept this plan on account Of
the small amount Of trackage the com
pany had in Kenosha at the present
time. The mayor insisted that there
was no intention on the part of the
city to let up in the fight against
unprotected crossings and he declared
that the city would demand from the
commission proper protection, not only
for crossings now in the city, but also
for those to be brought in under the
recent annexation ordinance. Attor-
ney John G. Slater has completed the
work of drawing the petition to the
railroad commission and it will be
ready for the sanction of the members
of the council at the meeting to be
held on next Monday evening. 1t will
probably be month before a hearing
can be had before the commission.

DIR. McsHANE rs INJURED,
Health Commissioner Fractures Right
Wrist Cranking an Automobile.

Health Commissioner John J. Nc
Shane has but one arm for his fight
against smallpox, scarlet fever and
other contagious diseases as on Tues
day afternoon he suffered a fracture
of his right wrist while attempting to
crank an automobile and the fracture
is such a serious one that it is expect
ed that his right arm will be out of
commission for at least six weeks. The
fracture is a very painful one, but the
health commissioner declared that he
would get down to his office some time
this afternoon and that while he would
be forced to get along without an
automobile pending the recovery of
his injured right arm, he expected
to be able to attend to his work Just
the same. DR.. G. Fl. Gephart was call
ed to reduce the fracture of the wrist
and the health commissioner is resting
as easily as could be expected under
the circumstances.

BURY VICTIM OF MURDERER.
Great Crowd of Italians Attend Funer-
al of August Covella Today.

The funeral Of August Covella, who
fell a victim of gunman on last Sun
day night was held at nine clock this
morning. froFe the Holy Rosary church
and a great crowd OF ltahtns turncd
out to attend the obsequies All the
carriages in the city were called into
service by the friends of the murder
ed man. The police officers even at
tended the funeral in hopes of securing
some cleW to aid them in the search
for the murderer. Some of the Italians
seem to be of the opinion that the man
who shot Covella has made his escape
from the city and that he Is now on
his way to Italy. The officials have
declared that they VIA follow the man
across The seas if necessary and that
if he can be located he will be brought
back to answer for his crime regard
less of the expense connected with
such a move.

TO PURCHASE HANNAH SCHOOL
New Plan Is Suggested to Take Care
of Many Children to be Brought into
School Districts by Annexation of
Territory West of Present Limits.

With ) view of securing the best
possible cooperation of the council and
the board of education for advancing
the school system of the city the mem
bers of the finance committees of the
two bodies held a three hour confer
ence at the Office of the city clerk on
Tuesday evening and while no formal
action along any line was taken the
conference is declared to have been a
decidedly helpful one and it is thought
that it will result in a better feeling
between the board and the council.
The question of the budget for the
schools for the coming year was not
discussed az length and the members
of the committee gave most of their
time to discussing the need of new
school buildings and the best possible
way of meeting this need. The old
question of new high school building
was discussed and the discussion
brought out the fact that there is no
active demand being made for the
building at this time. It was declared
that the members of the board of edu-
cation were expected to act favorably
on the exclusion of some of the pupils
from the rural towns next year and this
exclusion will probably make it posi-
bic for the present building to meet the
demands for another year at least.
The nioaJ ntere ting plan suggested
was the possible purchase Of the Han
nan school on West Prairie avenue by
the city. This four room building has
been completed but short time and it
is thought that it could easily be made
q part of the school system of Keno
sha. After the work of annexing the
territory IS completed this building will
still be in the town of Somers. 1t is
thought, however, that the site on
which it is located could easily be an
nexed to the city. The building is val
ued at ten thousand dollars and there
is room in it to take care of 200 chill
dren. Many of the children in the
territory to be annexed are now at
tending this school and it is declared
that single room would be sufficient
to take care Of the children from Som
ers following the annexation. It is pos
sible that the city school board could
take over this building and that the
school district would be willing to ac-
cept tuition for the children as a part
of the payment for the building.
The proposed building on Collins
street was taken up and little senti-
ment was shown in favor of proceeding
with the building at this time. It Mas
suggested that an addition be built to
the Columbus school and that number
of the portable buildings now owned
by the city be SET up on the Collins
street site to take care of children in
that immediate neighborhood.
The matters were taken up in an in
formal manner but the members of the
two committees will make reports later
and it is probable that some of the
plans will receive the sanction of the
board of education.

ROBBED ON A TRAIN.
Walter Lamb, Manager of the Princess,
Touched for S43.

i Walter Lamb, resident manager of
the Princess Theatre, was the victim
of bold robber on Tuesday evening
and he was relieved of $43 in real
money while on North Western train
between Chicago and Kenosha. Lamb
had left Chicago on the five o'clock
train. The train was crowded with
people and Lamb went into the din
ing car. He finished his supper and
when he reached for his money to pay
for it he found that he had been
robbed. The money was in his trous-
ers pocket and it is supposed that it
was lifted by some member of the
light fingered gentry while Lamb was
passing through the crowded cars. The
case was reported to the police. but
there is little reason to believe that
they viii be able to recover the money.

KEEP POSITION OPEN.
Columbus Co. Waiting Return of A w.
Oliver Held Here as Forger.

A. w Oliver, held at the city lookup
on charges Of forging the name of
George H. Eddy, cashier of The
Thomas B. Jeffrey Company to
worthless check, has job waiting for
him at Columbus, Ohio. This fact was
shown in letter received this morn
ing by Chief of Police O'Hare from
Chief of Police Charles E. Carter of
Columbus. The arrest of Oliver in
Kenosha on so serious a charge has
come as a great surprise in Columbus
where the man was we'll known and
where he had been employed for years
as storekeeper at the plant of Bonny
Floyd & Co. Oliver disappeared from
Columbus on the first day Of May and
Since that time relatives, and friends
have been searching for him. The en-
ployers of Oliver declared on Tuesday
that his position had been held open
for him. In the years that he has
been employed by the company he has
borne an excellent reputation. The
Columbus people could not account for
Oliver being in Kenosha. 1t is as
serted that he lost his wife some time
ago and that since that time his ac-
tions had been peculiar. The pre-
liminary hearing of Oliver is set for
Friday and it is expected that some
of his friends will come to Kenosha
from Columbus to make an effort to
secure his release on a suspended sent
ence or on parole.

ness, have been amending the bylaws
as suggested at the annual meeting.
AS the vote at that time in regard to
changing from a limited to an unIim-

only a quarter of the club, a postal
card has been sent to all. Returns
from ninety per cent of the members
have been received, rejecting the pro-
posed change by a vote of about two
TO one. Provision has been made for
associate members whose fee will be
a little higher than that of the active
members and the former associate
members will be classed as honorary
