paper with me for the present, and
will let you have my answer in a few
days
THUS dismissed, | returned to my
hotel But l was not satisfied with
the result Of this interview. The
khedive had shown far less eagerness
in the matter than had been justified
in expecting, from the notorious state
of his exchequer, and perceived that
1t would be necessary to take some de-
cisive step in order to force his con-
sent.
my previous experience had taught
me that every difficulty which one en-
counters in the countries Of the east
resolves itself into question OF back
sheesh.' 1t remained for me to dis
cover the quarter in which this ire
sistible lever might be most profitably
applied.
DO not ask me to enter into details
with regard to this point. 1t Is sufh-
cient to say that | ascertained that
great influence was welded over lsmail
Pasha by beautiful odalisque in his
harem, whose name was Fatimeh, and
who turned out to possess mania for
the jewelry of the palais royal. The
negotiation was attended with some
risk, on account Of the rigorous pre-
cautions which are observed in guard
ing the access to the apartments OF
the women Of the East.
Il had no reason to complain OF the
good faith of this charming creature.
Within two days | was sent for to the
palace, and found myself received with
the greatest cordiality by the khedlve.
He informed me that he had decided
to close with the offer Of the syndi-
cate, subject merely to question OF
terms He seemed to consider the
price Of the shares should be increased
by another ten million francs, and l
undertook to communicate this coun-
ter proposal to Paris at once and to
let him Know the result
''As was passing through the gates
of the palace on my way out, l ran
almost into the arms of the one man
In Cairo whom was anxious to avoid

of the sights of Cairo, now you are
here. am not very busy at present,
and you must let me take you about.
! cant promise you much in the way
Of theaters, but there are some charm
ing women here whom you ought to
know
Il smiled discreetly as / thought Of
Fatimeh. However, professed the ut,
most anxiety to meet the colonels
friends.
THE colonel put his own construc-
tion on my smile.
"'You do not believe mel he ex-
claimed roughly. Very well, you shall
see for yourself as soon as dinner is
over
He rang the bell violently, and gave
some whispered instructions to his
man, who nodded with an air of intelli-
gence, and went out. At the end OF
an hour, when we were slipping our
coffee in the smoking room, he re-
turned, and gave look at his master,
which appeared to announce the sue
cess of his mission.
Now cried the colonel, springing
to his feet, come along, and you shall
see whether l can fulfill my under
takings.'
Il followed him out, and we pro-
ceeded, by route which was less
novel to me than he supposed, to a
certain door situated in the rear of the
khedivial residence. We were admit
ted by eunuch, and led along sue
cession of passages, some Of them IA
miliar to me, to an apartment which
did not recognize. No sooner had we
reached it, however, than bell was
sounded, and the curtain which. con-
cealed an adjoining chamber was lift
ed to admit the odalisque whom my
friend had promised me.
ut was Fatimeh herself!
"If this meeting had been the result
of a deep-laid plan to entrap me, In
stead OF pure coincidence, which |
firmly believe it was, the result could
not have been more disastrous. Over
whelmed with confusion, had no time
to give a warning sign to this lntelli-

to dispose of them
Il drew myself up with an aggrieved
air.
"I venture to remind your highness
that such step would be violation
of our compact Of secrecy. Unless yor
find anything unsatisfactory in the
terms offered by the syndice which
l represent, they have tho right to ex-
pect that you will not enter into nego-
tiations elsewhere
MY remonstrance appeared to i'm.
press him. He listened thoughtfully,
and nodded his head once or twice.
"'Very well, l will consider your OF.
fer. But must know with whom am
dealing. Has M. de Lesseps anything
to do with this?'
II pretended to misunderstood him.
I'M. de Lesseps Is not one Of the
syndicate replied, with an air Of res
luctance, but If you regard his ap.
proval as important, am certain that
it can be obtained

II produced copy OF the list sup
piled to me by De Lesseps, and hand
ed it to the khedive. He glanced over
it with some confusion.
81 do not recognize these names,'
he muttered. Surely you will see
that before entering on such nego-
tiation | must have satisfactory assur-
ances that this immense sum will be
forthcoming
IL assumed an offended demeanor.

your highness says the word, one

In addition ! am empowered to offer

Il caught quick glance from the
khedives eye as | mentioned the gov
ernment. He instantly resumed his
cautious air.
THAT is satisfactory enough he
remarked quietly. Well. leave this

Colonel Warton, We were old &C.

"'My dear Baron, we'll met! he

respects to the khedive, it is not on

HE glared at me with some sus-
picion.
"'Well, have 1t your own way, my
dear fellow; though you are the last
man l should have expected to come
to Cairo as a matter of pleasure. The
hotels here are vile, and the cookery
amounts to deliberate crusade

Certainly answered, summoning
up show of cordiality. AS soon as

away from him in order to despatch

quiet at seeing him march straight
into the palace, as soon as l had
turned away, and resolved to hurry
on the completion of my affair with

THE dinner which the good colonel
gave me that evening was of the best.
He made no further attempt to draw
from me the cause of my presence in
Cairo, but spoke as II he thoroughly

LAND BRIDGE ACROSS ATLANTIC
Once Stretched from Newfoundland to
 Great Britain; It Is Claimed.

Great Britain; It Is Claimed.
 St. Johns, N. F., June 1s.-The gathering of further evidence to support the theory that there was once "a land bridge stretching across the Atlantic from Newfoundland to GreaA Britain and thence to Scan- edfnavia is one of the purposes of a geological expedition from Princeton university which will visit Newfound- land this summer. Similar parties from Princeton have conducted in- vestigations along the southern bays of the island during the past three years and besides obtaining valuab ble collections of rocks, minerals and fossils, have made discoveries tend ing to solve various geological puzz- les
 Professor Gilbert Van Ingen, who has been here with two of the expe- ditions, found fossils bearing marked resemblance to those unearthed in Wales and Sweden. This led him to formulate the theory that in pre- historic times it may have been pos sible for animals to travel on dry land across what now is the Atlantic ocean. He considered that this idea was supported by the fact that an underwater shelf of rock, upon which many telegraph cables have been con- structed in recent years. extends across the Atlantic

New York, June 19.-Announce- ment here that the American Locomo- tive company :. had received orders from the Belgian, state railroads for twenty locomotives caused speculation today as to the purpose for which the equipment is intended. It was pointed out that the Belgian railroads are al- most wholly in possession of the Ger mans, and suggested that the locomo- tives might be intended for use in England, France or Russia, and that the order may have been placed in the name of the Belgian railroads by representative of the allies. The American Locomotive company off, cials gave no information on that point. The engines are to be deliv- cred to purchasers in New York.

 OPENING OF MAIL
Accuses English Censors of Ransack- # s ing U. s. Pouches Bound
 for That County. A

TUT SOuHtys
 Washington, June 19.-The first of f1cial protest growing out of reports of the interference with the mails since the European war bgean was be- fore Secretary Lansing of the state de- partment yesterday With a request for action.
 The complaint in point was that lodged. with the secretary by Swedish Minister Ekengren, who nj letter written on instructions from his gov ernment, stated that United States mail pouches destined for Sweden had been broken open in England, that letters had been opened and censored and that one registered unit had been retanied. The communication recited two specific instances of interference with. United States mails for Sweden, pointed out that such acts were in violation of the provisions of the world postal convention and asked that ajjrojriate action be taken.
 While state department officials de- clined to indicate what, if any, actoin, would be taken, it was said in diplo- matic circles that representations probably would be made by the United States to Great Britain asking that special precautions be taken to pro- tect American mail passing through British territory.

New Haven, June 19.--J. J.

 MT. Forester was vested yesterday with full authority to act for the clerks, and he will have a conference with the road officials tomorrow in an endeayor to adjust the differences, which are mainly over working con- ditions.

 Tt is useless to make any further legal efforts to save Becker from the chair" said MT: Manton.
 From now on every effort will be concentrated to bring about executive clemency. We shall appeal to Gov ernor whitman as soon as he return, to assign the lieutenant governor to hear our plea. This will probably be done Monday

MAKE MUNITIONS IN ENGLAND.
London Post in Editorial Appeals tc
 David Lloyd George.

London, June 19.-David Lloyd George, minister of munitions, is urged by the Post in an editorial, to make every effort to place the muni- tions industry on basis whereby England can supply all her own needs in war material.
 eff the profits of our manufac- turers are too high in some cases, says the Post, that can be rectif1ed but at the worst it is not so grave an evil as the sending of orders to neutral coun- tries when by so doing we send money sout of our own country and reap none .of the benefits. Profits which English manufacturers and workers make will be spent among Englishmen, while profits Americans make are altogether lost to this country. We should en- courage our manufacturers by offer ing them long contracts on reasonable terms As to the length of the war, it is unsafe to estimate the end as less than two or three years from now
