 American and other foreign com mercial. banking ane shipping firms are watching developments closely and, while they sympathiEe, 1t is said. with the aspirations of the Egyptians for self-government, they do not relish the thought of the possible cessation of courts applying European law which, in the pastfi has meant security for their business and protection for their families. ! All Americans in Egypt at present enjoy fredom from taxation, the right to be tried in criminal cases by the American Consular Courts and re- course in civil actions to the Inter national Mixed Courts in which Amer ica is represented by three Ameri- can judges. While the American colony in Egypt is small and takes no active part or interest in local politics, it would not agree that the Washington government relinquish any of the rights and privileges its members now | enjoy.
 There are two parties among the Egyptians: the Nationaliste headed by Saad Zaghloul, for three years now the leader of the masses and the gov ernment or Moderate Party led by Adly Yegen. Zaghloul conducted the | first negotiations with Lord Milner' $ Commission. The Foreign Office in London has insisted that the Milner project, which guaranteed certain oF o,,t ha bodied in a treaty agreed upon by the British and Egyptian governments. The Nationalists replied that nc treaty acceptable to the people would be possible until martial law was abolished, the English Protectorate formally withdrawn, and delegation | be elected by the people to negotiate a treaty. A delegaton composed o1
 ministers and headed by Adley Yegen
 without any representation for Zagh- loul and his followers, was appointed
 by the Sultan. and proceeded to Lon
 don to arrange the treaty.
 /, The Nationalists, it is declared, will oppose in every way any treaty made
 by this delegation, and this may mean
 a renewal of party strife. Should the
 delegation return from the conference
 dissatisfied. the Egyptian nation again
 may be united against the English and
 thedays of rioting and terror may re-
 turn. In either case the business com
 munity has misgivings, especially as
 the commercial situation is beginning
 to have brighter outlook after two
 years of bad times.
 Demand of the Egyptians for inde-
 pendence is met by the equally vehe.
 ment determination of Britain not te
 relinquish any of her interests ant
 privileges Ion the road to India
 Meanwhile the foreign colonies now
 in Egypt have indicated that they will
 only exchange their present privilege.

The farmer in Georgia who was
charged with killing II or II
negroes was sentenced to the
penitentiary for life. He would
kill the negroes to keep them
from testifying against him on
peonage charges, going upon the
idea that the best way to get rid
of damaging witnesses was to
kill them. Cne of the interest
ing questions raised in the trial
was whether he could be tried for
killing the other one of the two
he had killed, because in killing
the one he killed both one act.
He was charged with tying the
negroes together, and then tying
sacks of rock to the two, throw
ing them into the river, and leave
them alone. They have not been
heard of since, and is not known
from the proceedings which Of
