How did England obtain possession
of Egypt?


English control Of Egypt may be said
to have begun when, in 1879, Stephen
Cave and Colonel Stokes were sent to
that country to inquire into its poor
financial condition. In November,
1876 Goshen and Joubert's mission on
behalf of the British and French bond
holders resulted in the dual control,
one British official to Superintend the
revenue and French the expenditure.
Another result was the International
ization of the railroads and of the port
of Alexandria. In 1882 rebellion I'M
der Arab Pasha broke out, which re-
suited in the bOmbardment of Alex
andria on July II, 1882.
England thereafter sent an army into
the country and suppressed the revolt
at Tel-el-Kebir, Sept. IS, 1882. Dual
control was abolished Jan. IS, 1888,
and replaced by an English financial
adviser. In 1904 the fact of England's
position in Egypt was recognized, and
that position was legalized by treaties,
first with France, then with Germany,
Austria and Italy. Since then, to all
intents and purposes, Egypt has been
an English possession.

Allen M. Fletcher for United States Sena-

SNOWFALL in Augusta Times.
The Montpelier Argus suggests that
Allen M Fletcher may become acandidate

to Senator Page. 1t is possible that Mr..
Fletcher has forgotten the historic events
which transpired in the state capitol at
Montpelier in regard to judicial matters
just about year ago. events which re-
ceived the hearty approval of the whole
state even though they meant the COM

Has "The Star SpangIed Banner

the national anthem?
"The Star Spangled Banner" Is rec
ognized by the United States navy reg
ulations as the national air, article
1172 Of the regulations providing as
follows:
Whenever 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner
is played on board a vessel of the navy al
naval station, or at any place where
persons belonging to the naval service are
present in their official capacity, or pres
ent unofficially but in uniform, all officers
and enlisted men present shall stand at at
tention, facing toward the colors, or, If nc
colors, the music, retaining that position
until the last note Of the air, then, If COW
cred, salute. The same respect will be OBJ
served toward the national air of any
other country when it is played as a COM
pliment to offick representatives Of that
country. WherSplayed by naval band

this paragraph, 1.-The Star Spangled Ban
ner' shall be played through without repe-
tition of any part not required to be re-

How does the government issue post
age stamps? Is there value besides
the paper and labor in making them
before they are put in circulation?
Postage stamps are prepared in the
bureau of printing and engraving in
Washington, and that bureau is the
only one prepared to furnish details con.
corning the cost of production of post
age stamps. Generally speaking the
money value indicated by the denomi-
nation of stamp is an entirely arbi-
trary values since in itself stamp is
worth only the value Of the paper and
the cost of labor entering into its pro-
duction.
