and to whom they have inado thorn-

H nn honest , and , certainly from nn

predates his position. Says Mr
Wolf : "Ho has calculated the cost ,

From the fanaticism of the Arab , but
rather the cupidity and so-called di
plomacy of the great powers.
THE KHEDIVE ,
For whom I have the highest respect ,
a mild-mannered man , ono who
moans well , but lacks force and do-
formation. Having boon created by
England and France , he , of course , IB
under thuir influence , especially that
of England , and therefore thu na
tional leaders distrust and shun him.
The Shoika are in full sympathy with
Arabi , nnd not vith the Khedive.
Tewlik would no doubt like to throw
off the shackles , t but ho is too
tightly bound , and lili native indoloncu
lacks thu elementH essential to burst

Mr. Wolf dot's not think that there
