BRITISH. 11: Is said no action in reference tothe deep canal project will be taken at the present session of the U. S. Congress. A despatch from Cheyenne, Wyo., says business on the Union Pacific railroad seems paralyzed. Fifi een prisoners, including one sentenced to be hanged next Friday, confined 1n Springfield, Mo., gaol, overpowered the gaolet on Friday and efl'ected their escape An incident took place this week at Cairo which had not Lord Rosebery been permit- ted by Mr. Gladstone to treat the young Khedive with rigor, might have wrecked the Liberal Government on the reoassembh ing of Parliament. The Khedive Abbas sud- denly dismissed his Ministers, without ob- taining the consent of his British protectors and replaced them with a Cabinet headed by Fakhri Pasha, who isnotoriously opposed to the English occupation of Egypt. Lord Cromer, the British representative at Cairo, finding his protest unheeded, telegraphed the facts to London. At the Cabinet coun- cil, which was immediately called, aprolong- ed discussion took place, but the discision ultimately reached is plain enough from what followed. Lord Cromer, having re- ceived instructions from the Foreign Office, presented an ultimatum to the Khedive, demanding the dismissal of the new Ministry in twenty-four hours. Thereupon, at the Khedive’s request, the objectionable Premier, Fakhri Pasha, re- signed, and the incident was over. As the present Khedive is said to be a young man of more than ordinary intelligence, it is not likely that he would have taken the step referred to unless he had re- ceived assurances that he might take it with impunity from the representatives of France, Russia, and Turkey, all of which powers are, for different reasons, anxious to expedite the British evacuation of-Egypt. He was told that the course adopted would cause the English to hasten their departure. In giving such assurances these diplomatists argued correctly from false premises. They knew that Mr. Gladstone had expressed the opinion that England ought to keep the promise made to the powers and withdraw from the Nile country now that peace and order seem to have been restored there. They also took for granted that he would enforce his views on his Secretary for Foreign Affairs. In this assumption they were mistaken. It was reported at the time when Mr. Gladstone formed his Cabinet that Lord Roscbery would not accept the Foreign Otiiee unless a free hand were given to him in regard to Egypt. By a free hand he meant, of course, permission to act upon Lord Salisbury's conviction, which he is knowu to share, that a retention of the Nile land, on one plea or another, is essen- tial to the safeguarding of England’s com- munication with India. It is expected that Archbishop Corrigajn of New York will receive a severe admoni- tion from the Pope in regard to his opposi- tion to Archbishop Satolli and Archbishop Ireland. Prof. Armenius Vambery, the well-known Oriental traveller, is of the opinion that the visit to St. Petersburg of the Ameer of B01:- hare. and the Khan of Khiva is a. prelude to the Czar assuming the title of Emperor of Asia. as an ofl'set to Queen Victoria’s title of Empress of India. A special cable despatch says the wife of Dr. Schward, of Berlin, eighteen married women of good families, and twelve girls of the better class, are involved in a sensation- al trial for child murder. Mr. Gladstone considered Lord Rosebery‘s co-operation in the Liberal Government, in- dispensable, both because, with the excep- tion of Lord Herschell, he is the only speak- er of ability on the Gladstonian side in the upper House, and because his influence is relied upon to overcome the reluctance with which a. good many old-fashioned Liberals are expected to receive the Home Rule bill. The Prime illinister’s willingness to waive I his personal ideas and feelings in a. matter which he deems of secondary importance, . is only an additional proof of his whole~ hearted devotion to the cause of self-govern ment for Ireumd.

It is said no action in The Troubles in Egypt. GENERAL. repudiating his own public professions and thedeclarstion of principles and intentions put forth at the great Liberal Convention in Newcastle.~ Yet nothing is more probable than that, had Mr. Glad- stone carried out the wishes of the Radicals with regard to the evacuation of the Nile country, he would have been sub- jected to a. vote of censure in the House of Commons. The Unionist coalition would be solidly arrayed against him on the Egyptian question, and the Liberals who agree with Lord Rosebery as to foreign policy must be numerous enough to extinguish the small Gladstonian majority. It is settled then, so far as the London Forei Office can settle it that the Khedive Ab as, like his father Tewfik, is to be a. ruler only in name, and that his Ministers are to hold themselves accountable not to him, but to his British protectors. This is not the administrative theory that would be enforced if there were any prospect of an early evacuation of That: was an awful dose for Mr. Bowsez'.

He sat and howled all night. Then came a. patent fire escape, which escaped $30 out of your pock- et. Then you bought some microbe killer and almost killed the cook, and had to pay her 5550 damages. Then some one told you to sleep in a. hammock, and you fell and broke your leg. Was it after that you started in to disinfect the house and set it afire, and caused us‘a. loss of $800 1’” “ Yes, in ten days I had to sell what few hens remained alive for a quarter apiece, but why was it ‘2” he almost yelled. “ Who went out to that coop with a baseball bat and pounded those poor fowls into the earth? Who sneaked out and mixed Paris green with their food? Who jabbed ’em with the clothespole until the neighbours threatened to have her arrested? I lost money, but why? And what’s that miser- able critter of yours trying to do now bucking ag’in the barn in that fashion? Of all the silly, idiotic things I ever heard of in my life this buying a. goat sweeps the board. If I’d even paid $2 for him you’d have brained him with a spade. ” “Behold your purchase, Mrs. Bowser! Isn’t he funny? Why don’t you laugh?

The remembrance of this past extrava- gance is confined to the older people of this generation. Men who have not passed what is called middle age knoyv of it only from hearsay, and hence we infer that the violent English rebellion against the revival of the crinoline has started with women who have come down from a period whose distance makes them no longer youthful. Recalling the hoop-skirt as it was in the long-past days of its dominance, they tremble at the thought of its reappearance, for it must have made the chains of fashion peculiarly galling for them. We observe that some English husbands are threatening violent retaliatory measures if their wives adopt such a fashion again, no matter how arbi- trary its authority. 'l'hey make a mistake. it is useless for men to undertake to inter- fere in the business. If there is to bea rebellion, it must be conducted by women solely; and it is very doubtful whether it will be successful under any circumstances. If the mandate that crinoline shall be worn is promulgated, even the rebellious may yield rather than submit to reflec- tions on the singularity of their dress, for with crinoline prevalent the close- clinging draperies of the present would provoke ridicule. The English demonstra- tion, however, may have a deterrent influ- ence on the Parisian tyrant-s of fashion, the more especially if it has the sym athy and countenance of the Princess of V ’ales ; but if the fashion is once really introduced, no matter to what extremes it may go, it is likely to be followed by women generally. rIhe great hope is in the manifest superior- ity of the present draperies both aestheti- cally and reasonably. The dress reform movement started in England is chicflyino tcresting and important as an indication of the growing spirit of independence among women which distinguishes this period. They are making hold to assault even the citadel of fashion, and though they may be beaten in the first encounter, they are bound to triumphinthe end. Probably it may he assumed that no:- they will be suc- cessful so far, at least, as to restrain the crinoline within sensible limits. It may be the beginning of the great dress reform which will he arlvnratcci and exemplified by sclf‘sacrificiug women at the Chicago A Prisoner flogged at the Central Prison Until lle Roars With Pain. Geor e W. Roberts, otherwise known as the “ owboy Evangelist,” was flogged at the Central prison, Toronto, this morning for gross indecency, of which he was con- victed on December 24 in the County Court and sentenced to one year in the Central prison and to receive ten lashes at the .ex- piration of ‘one month of his sentence. About 11.30 o‘clock yesterday forenoon a small party, composed of Warden Massie, Deputy Warden. Logan, several reporters and one or two medical men, gathered about the prisoner to see the lash applied. Warden Massie read the warrant, Dr. W. T. Aikins examined the unhappy man and pronounced him able to undergo the pun- ishment. The prisoner’s back was then bared for the cat. Guard Mills, who was chosen to apply the whip, looked almost as apprehensive as the victim, but with cool- ness took his place on the left of the prison- er. Deput Warden Logan called out “ One,” an the nine thongs of the scourge descended with a swish, leaving a red mark to show where the first stroke fell. At the second stroke the lash flew 03 the whip handle and made a stroke, that one easier to bear. Another whip was quickly procured. At each stroke the victim pitched his voice toa higher note of agony until the last, when it became almost a roar and his body was quivering. As the pain of the last stroke dis- appeared the prisoner turned his head and scrowled at his castigator in a manner that showed anything but Christian love for stripes. As he was being unfastened the fel- low turned to the guard who had administer- ed the punishment and said, with a sneer, “You did your duty well, Boy.” Roberts was given the option of going back to work in the woodwork factory or taking a half- holiday. He preferred going to work. In- stead of the old triangle, on which it has been customary to flog prisoners, Warden Massie has invented an apparatus which was used yesterday for the first time, and which prevents the victim from turning his body so as to receive a blow on the chest, Roberts has still 11 months to serve. but the dreaded part of the punishment is over. It appears from our London despatches of Sundry that a. dress reform movement which seems to be of real promise and im- portance has begun in England. It is di- rected against the revival of the crinoline, or hoop petticoat, supposed to be intended by the Parisian despots of feminine fashion. A pledge of rebellion against this particular dictate of fashion has been sent out by a No-Crinoline League, and it is receiving many signatures. The feminine subscribers pledge themselves to do all in their power to prevent the wearing of crinoline. Very properly and necessarily the organimrs of the movement have appealed to the Princess of W ales for support. She has not yet granted their petition formally, but it is understood that she is strongly opposed to the threatened fashion ; and there is prob- ably good reason for believing that such is the case. The vast majority of women of all sorts and conditions must be of that mind, for the new fashion is both unbecom- ing and inconvenient, and the presen feminine costume is of great beauty and remarkably comfortable. Even if the crinoliue started .with a moderate extension of the circumference of the petticoat, past experience indicates that the tyranny of fashion would carry it to an ex- treme before it was abandoned. The hoop skirts of thirty or forty years ago began with constructions of hair, which puffed out the petticoat to a comparatively slight extent, but they were succeeded by patent- ed devices of steel hoops which rendered their size prodigious. During their reign a manufacturing concern in this city made a great fortune by producing the elliptic skirt, as it was called, and every household was embarrassed by the necessity of gettin rid of the huge canstructions when they ha become damaged or had been discarded. A man accompanied by a woman dropped nto physical insignificance alongside of her vast proportions as increased by the hoop skirt. A score of women would fill a large sized room. Two of them Would fill acarriage and their entry into it required much dexterity. A DESERVE” PUNISHMENT. Revival of the Crinoline. running away, which could not have been the case, but Mr. De La Haye shonted'while he was pursuing them. Mr. Mason receiv- ed a very nasty cut on the side of his head from the blow he received, but Dr. Britton, who dressed the cut, does not think it very serious. It is quite probable the villains timed their visit to fall when Major Mason would be absent, thinking it would not be likely that a. man who had smelt powder would hold up his hands or surrender the money without. a fight. They were also mistaken in their judgment of the clerks in the establishment who showed the great. est pluck in refusing to give up the money and making a fight for it, although if a book or any otherarticle had been thrown through the window a crowd would have collected and the villains would have been caught. Or if the cashier had had a revolver in his compartment he could have shot one or all of the party before they could have hurt anyone. Inspector Stark was asked by an Empire reporter if he had anything to say about the afi'air, and he replied : “ This is no time to talk ; we have got to work.” The detectives have absolutely no starting point at which to begin work, not even a good 3 description of that have ever worked in Toronto since It was Toronto. A prominent public oflicial gave a. bit of good advice which should be followed by any one who may be held up in the same way. He said, “Keep a revolver handy and use it if necessity arises. If it should not be within reach shout with all the lung power you have and those robbers will get right out at once without shooting which would draw a. crowd at once. If any heavy article is handy thz'ow it through the window, and in less than 10 seconds several people will be looking in to see what is the matter.” Mr. De La Haye pursued the men to Ade laide streethhereflthey separated two going east and two west. He followed the two who ran toward Jarvis street until they gave him the slip. In about five minutes several detectives and policemen were on hand at the oflice and searching for any clue that might have been left. Mr. Wallace then opened his cage, which he had very wisely kept locked lest the thieves should get in to the cash. No one seems able to give a good description of the men who had taken a. leading part in the melodramatic per- formances of the moment before. One of the robbers was described as a young man ‘23 or ‘24 years of age, ahout 5 feet 9 inches in height, .thin featured, dressed in a light overcoat and black christie hat. The only description that could be given of any of the others was that one of them wore a fedora hat.

About 4. 15 o’clock Major Mason, manager of the Home Savings and Loan Company, left the ofiee, as the day’s busi- ness was finished. Four clerks and the office boy were left behind to finish and close the doors. Mr. Wellington Wallace, the cashier, was in his cage getting his cash ready to lock up in the vault. On one side of him was Mr. R. B. Street, working at the books, and on the other side ‘Was Mr. James 0. Mason, also busy entering up his part of the day’s business, About 4.20 a well dress- ed young man entered the door, levelled a couple of revolvers at Mr. Wallace’s head, and commanded him to hold up his hands. At the same moment / Attempted Robbery, of a Toronto Loan A COUPLE OF OTHER MEX ENTERED, . 1 all with revolvers, but Mr. Wallace thought it was some joke and did not elevate his manual extremities as requested. One of the men proceeded to climb over the counter to try the door of the cashier’s cage, which was locked on the inside. It then became evident that no joke was intended, so as quick as thought, Mr. Wallace snatched a chair and held the seat between himself and the robber to prevent the scoundrel from getting a good aim at any vital part. While this was going on it struck Mr. Mason that it was time for action, so he 'piled into the man that had ‘climbed the counter. There was a probability that one or more of the gang would be cantured, but Four young men registered at the Palmer house yesterday morning as coming from Buffalo. Their description tallieswith that of the robbers, and, as they did not return to the hotel last night from their \ isit tbont the city, it is suspected that they are the men who attempted to operate etthe Home Savings and LoanCompany’s office. THE THIRD IXVADER struck the plucky young man a. blow on the head with the butt of the revolver that laid him on the floor stunned, and that cut his scalp open. Mr. Street then took a part in the melee, and received a severe cut in his hand. It became evident to the robbers that the best thing to do was to run for it, and as soon as possible they broke away, all three making 03', the door having been guarded by a fourth.
