DEMOCRATS AFTER COIN

Washington, September 1s-Ten mil
lions of dollars for making the coun-
try safe for the Democratic party in
1920 is to be raised by the Democratic
National Committee.
This plan, which has been an
nounced by Chairman Cummings and
by former Representative William D.
Jameson, Of Iowa, Is causing much
interest in Congress because of the
fact that it Is considered a refutation
of the frequently repeated assertions
of Democratic members purely for
campaign purposes, that the Demo-
cratic party has been the party of the
poor man while the Republican party
has catered to the interests. Sever
al have called to mind the outcry In
Hanna's time against the big fund col
lected to educate the country to the
necessity Of maintaining an honest
dollar against the free silver fallacies
Of William Jennings Bryan, and agar
when Theodore Roosevelt was elected
in 1904. 1t ise now pointed out tina
these amounts were small as com
pared to the sum now demanded b,
the Democrats. 1t Is believed that tn
Western Union Telegraph Compan
and other interests which have pro
fitted at the hands of the Administra
ton will be heavy contributors to tn
immense fund.

FAMOUS
PEACE TREATIES
TREATY OF coNsTANTINoPLE, 1s41
When the Present Egypt Was Evolved.
BY HI. IRVING KING
Copyright. 1913, by the Mcclure NewspI

The British possession Of Egypt is
something into which England lust
naturally drifted" The force of cir
cumstances was stronger than treaties
and diplomacy. and after the occupa-
ton OF the country subsequent to the
Arab Bey incident In 1882, England
found herself In the position of the
man who held the bear by both paws
around tree-it was more dangerous
to let go than to hold on. Yet up to
the recent proclamation of a British
protectorate over the land OF the Nile
and the setting up of sultan indie
pendent Of Turkey following the sid
ing of the Khedive abbas with the
Germans, Egypt remained a part of
the Turkish empire, a vassal state
paying an annual tribute of 100000
and governed nominally by a heredi-
tary vassal prince. IT was governed
under the treaty of 1S41. which the
powers forced upon the sublime porte
and its victorious rebel governor of
Egypt, Mehemet ALI. BY this treaty
the western powers obtained their first
foothold In the land of the Pharaohs.
Mehemet ALI was Turkish officer
who first went to Egypt in 1899 as
commander Of the forces. He did so
well In restoring order there that In
1905 the sultan appointed him gov
ernor. But Ali found his government
constantly threatened by the famous
Mamelukes, cavalry corps of the
Egyptian army consisting of the de-
scendants of those Mingrelian, Turk
ish and other slaves sold by Genhiz
Khan to the Egyptian sultan In the
thirteenth century who. uniting In re-
volt In 1851, made themselves masters
Of the country. The Turkish govern
ment overthrow the Mameluke govern
ment In 1917 and Egypt became a
Turkish province. But the military
caste Of the Mamelukes was continued
as a portion Of the Egyptian army
until Ais time.
Massacre Of the Mamelukes.
In 1911, seeing that Ii was ques-
ton Of survival between the Name
lukes and himself, Ali settled the mat
ter by a massacre of the Name
lukes. The citadel Of Cairo was the
scene Of the principal slaughter; the
Msmelukes were annihilated. Now
absolute master of Egypt. Mehemet
Ali threw Off his Turkish allegiance
and conquered Syria in 1872 In
1889 he defeated the Turks in so many
engagements that 1t seemed as If his
hammers waro corfain IN yava In fba

took alarm. That old idea which for
30 many centuries has prevented the
Turk from being driven out of Eu-
rope-the idea that the status quo at
Constantinople must not be disturbed.

nople, a general war should ensue for

/ its possession-caused them to Join
together for an armed intervention,
and ALI was forced to give up Syria.
On January 3d. 1S41, treaty was
concluded at Constantinople by which,
In return for the REIMBURSEMENT of
Syria and the renewal of his allegi-
ance to the sultan, ALI and his descend
ants were created hereditary rulers of
Egypt.
Egypt for Egyptians.
In 1881 appeared an Egyptian col
oDel, Arab Bey, who started the cry
of Egypt for the Egyptians" He
overthrow the ministry of that year
and massacres of Europeans took
place in Cairo and Alexandria. He
was openly encouraged by the Turk
ish government which, even when
Arab had flouted the authority of the
khedive and, becoming minister Of
war, placed himself at the head of an
armed revolt which swept the coun-
try, refused to declare him rebel.
He withdrew the budgets from the
French and British financial advisers
and manning the old forts and con-
structing new ones at Alexandria,
threatened the fleets of England,
France and the United States.
On July 10. 1882, the British adj
miral demanded the cessation of hos
tile preparations and the delivery OF
some of the forts into British hands
within "a hours, or he said he would
open fire. Cablegrams flew back and
forth between Alexandria and Europe
and the British invited the French to
join with them in an Intervention.
The French refused and the French
fleet steamed out of the harbor for
Port Said. The American feet with
drey.
At Z a. m. the British feet opened
fire. The engagement lasted until
noon by which time most of the forts
had been silenced. Fort Pharos fred
until four O'Clock. The next morning
Arab asked for a truce which was
granted, and under cover Of which he
escaped with his army from the city.
Seymour landed force to restore or
der In the city, the American marines
landing also. A British expedition I'M
der Sir Garnet Wolseley. was rushed
to Egypt, and Arab was crushingly
defeated at the battle OF Tel-el-Kebir,
on September 10. Cairo surrendered
the next day; Arab was taken pris-
oner and exiled to Ceylon. The au-
thority Of the Khedive was restored.
Upon advice of the British. he abol-
ished the Dual Control and appointed
British financial adviser. Abbas
succeeded Tewfik and an Englishman
was appointed head Of the Egyptian
army. The treaty of 1S41 was still
observed until Abbas declared for
Germany and fed to Austria, when
a British protectorate was declared.
