Denver, "Plke' Peak or Bust." la the Senatus Populusque Romanum," the "In God We Trust." the "Carry the War Into Africa." the "lleyond the Alp Lies Italy" all rolled Into one. I have aeen one picture that appealed to my Imagination more than all else, showing by sug-Kentlon the hardship, prlvatlona and dangers that these hardy pioneer endured and braved to build up the West, for the vast riches of California had caused the people to scatter over the whole world in search of gold.

In the foreground a prairie schooner" (a can-vas-c'overed wagon) to hich are yoked two oxen, one killed, as shown by the arrow In his shoulder, the other held like a prisoner by his yoke, while at the rear of the wagon, partly hidden by the grass, is the body of a man pierced by arrows. On the wagon canvas is rudely printed "Pike's Peak or Bust" Pike's Peak, the Mecca of the gold seekers, who were destined never to realise their hopes, and only after more than a generation have its rlchea been discovered and the tenderfoot reaped the benefits of those hardships. (Cripple Creek lies at the southwest side of Pike Peak.) The early settlers on their way to the promised land stopped at the Junction of the South Platte and a little stream now known as Cherry creek, and made their camp. The exact location of this camp la not far from the present City Hall. Here they built their cabins and literally upon the sand, for thla Cherry creek, which a man at ordinary seasons could step across, la very remarkable for Its sudden rises.

In 1864 Denver waa quite a town when Cherry, as It la affectionately called here, came down to see who had "Jumped its claim." Finding home, bunloesa blocks, reposing calmly, peacefully unconscious of danger. In tta bed. It sent word up onto the divide some fifty miles away, and the clouds, winds and rains assisting It. tore down in a solid wall of water and swept everything before It. One old-timer, awakened by the noise of the Hood, thought only of and grabbing his ax.

threw his door open and stepped out. or rather down. Into Ave feet of Icy. muddy water. With difficulty he crawled back, his martial ardor and bloodthirsty desires decidedly cooled.

He stood watching first a negro settlement floated by on a raft (they were found a few days later lodged on a sand bar twenty miles below alive and well), next two young women, his neighbors, opened their doors, the flood swept in and everything movable swept out apparel and ail. the uses of which he knew not. but which, with true Western gallantry, he rescued In part. And now in Denver "the flood." when mentioned, doesn't refer to Noah at all. A remarkable thing during this flood waa the total disappearance of the safe containing the county records.

It vanished In the sand, and diligent and persistent search has never found It. Naturally this led to much trouble and complication of titles. 1 have been fortunate in meeting some of the old-timers, and have en-Joyed as much the traditions of Denver as her many present attractions. A lady who has been here many years and who Is really wealthy now. told me that the time when she felt richest was when she and her husband had a two-room cabin, a cow and some chickens, but above all twelve sacks of "Rough and Ready" flour under their bed.

which were worth something like $30 in gold dust per sack at that time; and that whatever wealth, ease, luxury and time had bestowed upon her never since had ahe felt so independent-Money was scarce In those days and each merchant had his scales and weighed up In gold dust the amount due him. and woe betide the man who didn't have good balances or who "flashed" copper filings. Denver was always noted as a peaceable town, quiet and religiously inclined as Western towns go, and the natives complain that it is only the would-be-tough Easterners and the verdant tenderfoot ambitious to send his photograph In full regalia of knlvea, pistols, carbines and "sich" back to his "folks' that gave them the unsavory reputation they have. And no photograph gallery, especially of the tin-type sort. Is complete without these Indispensable accompaniments to every picture of the newcomer.

The visits of President Lincoln, Qens. Grant and Sherman and of ex-Uov. Denver, of Kansas, for whom the city was named, are all eventa in the memories of the older Inhabitants, who tell with great pride bow they met these notables. Notables are as rare In Colorado as English lords are la New York, and are aa much sought after, and tradition saya that the gallant Gen. Sherman found the buxom Western lassies aa klasable as the hot-house plants of the East.

The West and Denver of course being Western is noted for Its Munchausen to put It mildly. This I 'hink Is more the result of an ambition to please than to really "stretch the In talking on this subject a friend told me that the Easterners liked to hoar them, and in courtesy they could not refuse, so "loaded them to the niuasle. He told of an incident In his own life which Is Illustrative of both side, as well as of how young they begin. Us was visiting the East when about eight years old, and among other things told an uncle of how he killed "Injuns" out In Colorado. said the uncle, "did you kill Indians?" Never flinching, the young rogue answered: "Yes.

sir. shot right through on Into the other three or four at a timer" "And what did you do with the dead onesT" "On. they were good 'In Inns' then and so I Just throwed them Into the ditch and covered them with leaves." He had a high-altitude Imagination, for" leaves are not always plentiful nor handy. Returned to the house the uncle tcld It on the young chap, whose fathtr never tolerated a departure from the truth. The father calling the ion Maid: "My son.

why did you tell Uncle Abe such stories The little fellow seeing visions of wood-sheds and switches, scratched his head and pausing only long enough to consider why he had told them, replied: "Well, you see. Uncle Abe Just wanted to hear Vm, so I told The population of Denver comprises those of all countries and climes, and from every station in life such diversity as Is knrwn nowhere else. Those who are subject to disease or who seek fortune are found here, and these two classes make up the world. The society la remarkably Intelligent and well educated. Here the student who has lost his health Is found In numbers.

Literary and musical cluos and societies are numerous, and "home talent" has always been an important factor In the season's entertainments. The theaters offer attractions each week, and Denver Is a "one night stand" town. They are Inclined to look upon the East as slow in a sense. This reminds me of their opinion of the President. The calmer ones ask what does he know of either the needs or the possibilities of the West; how can tie appreciate who and what we are; the idea of having a man for President who has never even seen the greater part of the country he governs, and whose Ideas of the West were obtained from school books or from Bill Cody's Wild West.

The silver fanatic Is rampant, and If you say 1 to 1. whether pounds of sugar for a dollar or of guests to each table, be considers It a divine arrangement and Is satisfied. But those figures are like a red flag to a bull, and tls then you realize the "dangers of the nation and what will save It." However, while all believe In free coinage. I think the majority are for an International agreement. His favorite Illustration Is the familiar one of an enormous cow grazing on the West while a man labeled "Wall street" Is milking her In the East, "That's It," says he.

"we feed the cow; he milks her." "The tall has wagged the dog long enough." If you ask some of them about silver they laugh and tell you that they did get a black eye. but are all right until gold Is demonetised. In three short years they have abandoned almost their silver Industry and have so developed their gold that the combined annual output of these two metals has remained practically the same. They are a persistent, hard working, quick-thinking and acting people. One thing Is particularly noticeable the men who stand highest and are most closely Identified with the business Interests are young men.

or men In the prime of life. Denver Is located about fifteen miles from the first range of hills "hog-backs" and on the western edge of what was once the Great American Desert. You can see from here probably the grandest panorama of mountain and plain In the world. For a hundred miles north and south the eye follows the range, stretching away and beyond the horizon, while looking across them, range after range, like succeeding billows of a mighty ocean, rise higher and yet higher until they, too. are lost In the clouds, or.

If not. crowned with eternal snows. They appear to rise from the very border of the city, and many an amusing tale Is told of the mistakes of the uninitiated In estimating distance the clear and rarefied atmosphere seeming to abolish It. A young fellow started out to walk to the mountain before breakfast. He walked and walked and walked, thinking each mile (made doubly long by an empty stomach) would bring him to the mountain, but at evening, weary, foot-sore, tired, disgusted and dejected he returned without having reached It.

After that It is told he would never step across a ditch or Jump a stream during his entire stay without first removing his wearing appareL "How do I know." said he, "how wide the deuced thing Is It may be three feet and It may be a hundred miles, and I don't want to wet my clothes." The sunshine Is all but perpetual the air a life-giving tonic This winter there has rarely been a cloudy day not a drop of rain and only two small snowsv-but one crop of six-inch Ice and all told not more than a week's skating. Truly it is Ideal and out-Italys Italy. Denver Is the Invalid's El Dorado, where marvelous cures have been made. They tell you they can cure everybody, but can not resurrect people who come there dead they do not claim to work miracles. Around Denver there Is a circle of well-cultivated and productive farms and gardens remarkable for the thorough, scientific and modern manner in which they are conducted, and with the magic wand of irrigation this "desert" has been made to blossom as the rose.

With acres under glass they never lack for fruits and vegetables to gratify the most capricious taste If they have tho "where-wlth-alL" The city Is laid out regularly and systematically, everything appearing to have received thought prior to execution. The streets are broad and level, rising gradually from the river, giving an excellent natural fall In sewerags and drainage. Looking down from the higher ground to the west It has the appearance of being terraced, each succeeding block higher as you go from the river. From this point It is beautiful the buildings new and clean (the air perfectly clear and more surprising the number of trees), it looks like a park In which has sprung up a city. The streets, paved with asphalt, afford a splendid driving surface and are especially good for wheels, whose name Is legfbn.

The public buildings are handsome and substantial the new Capitol of dark gray granite Is very like the Navy building In Washington.

Even now- It Is not large enough to afford -good facilities for the postoffloe, and some of the Federal offices are in rented quarters. The Equitable (an office building) and the Brown Palace Hotel are magnificent buildings of Mexican onyx and bronze. But Denver Is preeminently a city of residences and of schools. There are four Urge and new school buildings and a Manual Training School, one of these accommodating 700 pupils. The residences, however, are the feature of the city.

On Capitol Hill the aristocratic part of the city there are hundreds of beautiful and gorgeous homes veritable palaces, magnificently furnished at the cost of a quarter of a million. Almost every JamtXr has a home, and terraces and flats are a rarity. Around each of these homes is a yard of dose, compact, perfect blue-xrasa sod that surpasses even Kentucky. They would ask "What do you think of that grass? Is there any in your own Bluegrass region aa AneT" The Coloradoans are like us Ken-tuckians In that they have the finest country on earth, ask your opinion of It and are ready to shoot If you are not prodigal of praise. When I see this I feel that the Kentuckian's copyright has been infringed upon.

The business of the place Is principally mining, directly, or. Indirectly, smelting. I. sampling, refining and treat-lng the products of the mines. Eacn smelter is a town within itself, and my visit to one was the most interesting sight I have yet seen.

Thousands of men are employed daily, and thousands of tons of ore are smelted. The rapid transit of the city is remarkable, too. It being rare to find one's self more than two blocks from either a cable car or an electric car line. The social side of Denver I have found delightful. I was a stranger and tuey took me in.

and I attribute much of my good fortune to being a Kentucklan. Here, as elsewhere, society Is divided. "The society" is wealthy and somewhat exclusive, but, when you know it. warmhearted and unconventional. Their receptions and debuts are lavish and the costumes gorgeous, but throujrn it all Is a strain of Western bonhommle, jjood-fellowship and generous Impulse.

The-women have a sort of stepplng-heaven-ward air which corresponds to our Kentucky thoroughbred, and. while at tlirea It sssumes the form of hauteur, yet rather like It. It Is a certain reserve force which Is always attract.ve In women. They are tactful as clas ana know pretty well the "coy" let. They seldom say what they mean and mean very little they say.

This gives Them an elusive. Intangible quality that luros you on to a broader acquaintance which generally proves them true-hearted and honest. They are for the moat parr quite Intelligent and appeal to the mind rather than to the heart. Some ate "faultily faultless. Icily regular, splen-dlly null." while others are heartl heartlesa.

regularly Icy and awfully dull. These of course are the exceptions. Such Is the Queen City of the plains. Such the character of her 160.000 people. She haa a great and beautiful future, and this visit among her charming people will be one of my pleasantest memories.

THE PASSING OF SARAH BROWN For Years tho Queen of the Latin Quarter A Model Whose Nudity Caused the Great Student Riot May Have Committed Suicide, But Some Contend She Is In Seclusion. (Correspondence, of the Courier-Journal.) Paris, March 4.

Sarah Brown Is. missing, and the Latin Quarter has the story of one who rose and cast a great light causing everybody to look and ask: "What star is that and paled and tragically went out. For It Is generally believed that Sarah Brown has committed suicide. She has not been seen for several weeks, and Sarah Brown was one who loved to be seen. Even the Pans newspapers have published that Sarah Brown, the noted model, whose arrest for not wearing more clothes at the Quart re Arts ball two years ago.

caused the great students riot, has probably committed suicide. Twice before she attempted to end her life, and this supports the theory, though a few contend that Sarah Brown has disappeared to get herself talked about and will melodramatically return the night of the next Quart re Arts ball and try to shine once more. Sarah Brown first appeared In the Latin Quarter ten years ago, She posed at one of the schools, where the models are changed each week. Everybody was smitten with a keen desire to paint the beautiful figure on the raised platform before them, and the noise of contending voices and colliding easels waa much sharper and louder than the usual Monday skirmish, places In the front row being sought after with main strength. Sarah Brown fell Into a pose that caused men to sharpen their pencils more feverishly, and she kept that pose like a statue, never stirring at the long, ugly oath of a man, who threatened to tear his canvas up, or the whistled dance of another, who had found a true line, and who felt In his finger ends that he would be great yet.

Before the week was over those men wanted to paint Sarah Brown forever. Such a model, they told their friends outside the atelier, there never was before. Her figure a few exclamations. a clawing search for a word that never existed, and the man gave up his attempt at description. None of your pretty faces, all smooth and regular and meaningless, but a face with character in it, strong and passionate; eyes to rule and ruin men, a flame of red hair that would pick her out In a crowd anywhere.

With men talking about her like this. Sarah Brown was not long in becoming well-known in the Quarter. Her beautiful figure even found her out among the famous painters of Paris. Soon her time was all taken up by the big men, and It was not necessary for her to pose In the schools, but she was fondest of this, and even when she was most talked about, she did not cease to occasionally put in a week at one of the schools. Sarah Brown posed for many famous painters, and saw herself in several different pictures In every Salon.

She is) the queen In Laurens' great picture "The Queen Defying the Pope." Sarah Brown loved this picture, and some say that from looking; at It, she got an Idea that she waa really a queen and wanted to defy anybody that would not take orders from the end of her beautiful in SHELBY VILLE ROBERT A -SMITH. (President of the Bank of SaelbyviueJ I- I- JOHN A. (President of the and Traders a in dex finger. She claimed to be the daughter of a French Count, anyway, and doubtless argued that the Count was descended away back from a Her mother, she said, was English, and that was the way she came by the name of Brown. She was about thirty years old.

Little Is known of her life before she became a model and probably It was not at all Interesting. Sarah Brown grew to be very popular with the students, of course. Whenever she came around they shouted and went off In some tangent of reckless fun, and for the time she wss a queen. Her love of reigning often took her to a last day of the Salon, that Is, the last day that pictures are received for the yearly exhibition. There Is always crowd of students about the Salon building then and much to interest; men arriving all the time iu a great hurry with their pictures before it Is too late.

Here la what followed Sarah Brown's appearance on a last day a few years ago: It was about 6 o'clock In the afternoon when a shout went up that there waa Sarah Brown and after that nothing was of any importance but Sarah Brown, not even the Salon. Up went Sarah Brown on the shoulders of four proud men. and a line waa formed, and the students marched away, singing the glory of Sarah Brown. On the right bank of the Seine the students have not the special privileges they are allowed In the Latin Quarter, but the men forgot this, thinking only of Sarah Brown, and made a great noise going down the Rue de Rlvoli. The celebration swelled to such a roar that police could pretend no longer that nothing unusual was going on.

They stopped the procession and asked Sarah Brown what she meant by causing such a disturbance. Sarah Brown became a guileless little girl sitting on the shoulders of her big brothers. She said that she was not making any noise and the men who were shouting outnumbered her and besides were stronger individually. But the police knew Sarah Brown and ordered her to get down and leave by a side street, which she- did like a good little girl. The students crossed a bridge of the Seine, and were in their own place, and Sarah Brown Joined them again as they knew she would, and there was no danger of the police Interfering.

'To the Beaux-Arts." the Government school of flne arts, some one cried and to the Beaux-Arts that swinging- line of dancing men went. Sarah Brown again queening It on the shoulders of those In front. The big gate of the Beaux-Arts Is closed at 5 o'clock and the students knew that the concierge would not open for them, so a man was sent ahead to steal through the side gate and unbolt and throw open the big gate Just when they arrived. This piece of strategy was faultlessly executed, and the first the concierge knew was when he heard a great shout the court of the Beaux-Arts. Breathlessly rushing out.

he found that the Government School of Fine Arts of the Republic of France, which It was his duty to protect, was In the hands of a crowd of riotous students, who were making a great-to-do over a red-headed woman. The concierge ordered the students to leave In the name of France and then Implored them to go In the name of the fine arts. The students told their dear friend, the concierge, to calm himself, that It was far from their Innocent Intention to pull down or break anything. Then they introduced Sarah Brown around to the ztat-ues. as for an example: "Miss Brown permit us to Introduce you to Apollo, a gentleman of, the old school, of whom you have doubtless heard.

Apollo, our dear friend, this Is Miss Brown, the famous model of whom Venus is Jealous." The concierge waited until the Introductions were over, and then again besought the students to go away. They assured their friend, the concierge, whom they loved, respected and honored, that they meant no harm and began a dance around a Corinthian pillar, the concierge with clasped hands walking up and down at one side. At length the students told the concierge they would leave, and each bade the smiling man an affectionate good-bye. All passed out of the gate except about ten men, and the concierge, whose right BANKERS. JAMES GUTHRiE.

(President of the Citizens' Bank; and the largest land owner in Shelby county.) rs I .7 MIDDLETON. Farmers' Bank and also merchant and trot-ting-horse breeder.) arm ached a little because the students loved him so, was about to close the gate, when the whole crowd rushed back. This was repeated three times at Intervals of fifteen minutes, and when for the fourth time the students announced that they were going, the concierge, who trembled with rage, refused to shake hands. Then they could not leave, not without telling their dear friend, the concierge, good-bye, and in the end the concierge bad to swallow his anger and once more receive the affectionate farewell of each one of the students. This time they really left.

Tbey went to a student cafe and' marching In and upstairs to a large room on the second floor, ordered beer. and having drank the beer, they arose and without paying marched downstairs and to the door, where they came to a sudden halt, for the door was locked, and the students looked around to find the waiter laughing at them. The patron sent upstairs for the saucers of the beer mugs. Each man was given one and then the waiters collected them receiving the Inoney at the same time. There were ten or fifteen saucers left over, and these, the patron said, must be paid for, too.

No man In that crowd had drank two glasses of beer and they raised their voices to that effect. The patron very politely did not doubt this; only there were the saucers and they, too, must be paid for. A settlement seemed Impossible until Sarah Brown offered to take up a collection. The suggestion was received with a shout and the money waa quickly forthcoming. Then the patron opened the door.

He was a wise pro-prietalre and knew how to deal with students. If he had grown angry and stormed around and threatened to have called the police, probably he would not have been paid for the beer. The students. Sarah Brown always throned on the shoulders of those In front, visited many other cafes that night apd it waa a late hour before they went home. At the Quartre-Arts ball two years ago Sarah Brown did not make her appearance untll-2 o'clock In the morning; when she did ahe was Cleopatra on a throne carried by sixteen slaves and fanned by four women not quite so handsome as she, and behind her trailed a procession in her honor.

Everybody else got out of the way to see Sarah Brown go by. and from that time the ball was a sort of background to Sarah Brown and her throne, and her slaves. The next day the Chief of Police, translating his official title, ordered Sarah Brown's arrest for not having on more clothes st the ball. She was tried; convicted, fined one hundred francs and sentenced to three days' Imprisonment, but the sentence was not be enforced pending her good behavior. When the students heard that their Sarah Brown had been convicted they said the decline of beautiful Paris had begun.

The place would go down faster than ever Rome did. The next thing the Chief of Police would be going around and putting clothes on the statues in the Louvre and the Luxembourg. "Hon! soit qui mal pense." indeed. That afternoon students appeared on the streets carrying banners In the shape of fig leaves, and others wore fig leaves on their clothing, and whenever they passed a nude statue In a park or public square, they modestly looked the other way. That night, when the students got together In the cafes on Boulevard St.

Michel, their indignation grew, and it was planned to go and serenade the Chief of Police for his purity. The police heard of this, and watched the atudents closely to prevent them from forming in a line of march, which made the students say that when the fall of Paris was traced by some future historian the policemen of the year 1894 would be found to have been one of the principal causes. It was the next day that a policeman killed the man In Cafe D'Harcourt. and after that there waa a wild period of riot and then anarchy, and Sarah Brown was forgotten In the greater grievance. During the riot Sarah Brown saw herself written up and telegraphed about everywhere; her photographs for sale all over Paris, and being talked about and written about and telegraphed about became meat and drink to her.

But after the riot was over for some strange reason of student life Sarah Brown was not qrlte as much made over as before. This she resented, and that hurt her popularity. Finally one night when she entered Cafe D'Harcourt she was hissed by the students, principally at the instance of other women, who had been Jealous of her for years. After that she wanted to die. and made an attempt at suicide until.

In the opinion of most, she has succeeded In taking; her life. In the picture Sarah Brown is In the costume she wore at the Quarte-Arta ball, the Illustration having been taken from an old sketch made by the artist. It. E. TURPIN.

esjsjsjsjsjgi Visit To a I I Kotecl Exile. (Correspondence of the Courier-Journal.) Kandy. Ceylon. Feb. 10.

Through the kindly consideration of a gentleman from Scotland, who has a large tea estate in the interior of Ceylon. I was enabled to have an Interview of several hours with Arabl Pasha, the famous Egyptian, who la a prisoner of state and an exile from his native land by the authority of the English Government. This man, whose exploits in the year 1882 attracted the attention of the world, lives In an humble bungalow on the outskirts of the old city of Kandy; and with a pension of 50 a month, sent him by the Government at Cairo, supports a family of twenty-flve persona On my arrival at his residence he met me at the door in quite a democratic manner, and after a hearty grasp of the hand and a few expressions of salutation he was soon, without the least hesitation, discussing his varied and thrilling experiences. He Is a magnificent specimen of an Egyptian, being six feet two inches in height and weighing about 260 pounds; and when he became aroused while describing his efforts to give freedom and independence to bis people he stood erect, threw back his great head and looked every Inch a hero. His English is somewhat broken, but It was without difficulty that I followed his eloquent words, which, at times, stirred me thoroughly and elicited my sympathy.

"I am a prisoner of State," he said, "and can not discuss current politics; but aa matters have changed In Egypt and as the reformation that I attempted to bring about is gradually taking place, I am willing to give to you and to the American press an account of my life and the motives that prompted my actions In 1882. I confess that I wanted to see my country free; and for this freedom and for the deliverance of my people from Internal and external corruption, I staked my life and my all. I think now aa I thought then that the God above has given to different peoples different lands: and the Inhabitants of those lands should be left to control them. If they are willing to have law and order. I wanted to do for my country what Washington did for his; and if I had been successful to-day I would be loved and honoredln my own country.

Instead of being an exile from my home on this Island. It is not for me, in my position, to say anything against the great power of England that conquered me; but all the facts are be-, coming known and perhaps during my lifetime I shall be put right before the world. If I am allowed to return to my native land I promise never again to take part In public affairs, unless my people call me to lead them; and as the movements that I started are largely being carried out by others, and as my Ideas are being adopted practically la Egypt, my presence there could not possibly do harm. I do not want to die an exile from home." These are nearly the exact words of Arabl Pasha; but aa some of your readers may not recall the facts of the re -belllon that he led. I shall briefly give them.

In the latter months of 1881 Arabl, an Egyptian peasant, but a man SECTION 3 I i MISS GRACE WATERS. of great courage, who had risen to one of the highest positions In the service of the Khedive, became enraged by the absolute and grossly abused power of the Turkish ruling caste; and. through his leadership, the Khedive, himself a Turk, waa forced to grant his subjects a Parliament and Constitution on western models. Under the new order, Arab! waa appointed Minister of War; and immediately addressed himself to certain reforms that were greatly needed In the country. The new constitutional Ministers were recognized by all the European Powers, Including England; and at that time Arab! and his followers were greeted as reformers.

But the foreign creditors of Egypt, thinking that their financial interests were endangered under a government so democratic, took alarm; and such pressure waa brought to bear upon the English Government that, largely through the Influence of Lord Granville, vigorous steps were taken to restore the Turkish Khedive's despotic rule. As it will be remembered, English ships were sent to Alexandria to intimidate the new Ministers and. Parliament: but Arabl and certain trusted associates refused to betray the heroically won liberties, and declined to yield to the English Admiral's threats. An attempt was now made to get ild of Arabl In a more Indirect way. A Commissioner was secured by Lord Granville from the Sultan to entrap the Minister of War In a conference, and there shoot or arrest him.

but through timely warning from certain foreign friends Arab! escaped the trap set for him; and all seemed smooth sailing for a short time. But the end was not yet. After the fashion of the fable of the wolf and. the lamb a quarrel was picked with these patriotic Egyptians; and the city of Alexandria was bombarded on the plea that the feeble fleet of England was In danger! As a lest step In this unworthy performance. Lord Wolseley was sent to Egypt with 60,000 English troops; Arabl and Mah-mud Sami.

with thousands of others, were made prisoners of war at Cairo; a mock trial was Instituted against the leaders of the national movement; Arabl Pasha corresponds to our the Minister of War. Mah-mud Saral. the Prime Minister. Takub Sami. the Governor of Cairo, and four military officers were condemned t2 death; and only through the pressure of an outraged public opinion In Europe did Lord Granville, at last, unwillingly consent to a commutation of their death-penalty to one of exile to a British colony.

The Egyptian Liberal party and Parliament were disbanded; the patriotic Ministers and Ave Pashas were "deported" to Ceylon; and an Englishman. Sir Evelyn Baring, was installed In Egypt, with the cowardly cringing Turkish Khedive to do his bidding or rather the bidding of the power at Westminster. After eight or ten years' rule In Egypt, under English influence. Sir Evelyn Baring published a report in which he claims for the British Government the success of certain Internal reforms, by which the finances have been set In order and check has been put on the abuses of power by the Turkish privileged class and certain European colonists. But Arabl Pasha, in his earnest declaration to me.

Insisted that these very reforms owe their initiative and vitality to the national movement that be headed, and to prove this he produces the programme published by him in December, 1881. An Intelligent Englishman makes this public statement: "Although we have been for years in Egypt, we have Introduced no reform there upon any permanent basis. The popular Institutions won by Arabl, and which gave so much promise of a new life to Egypt, aftd through Egypt to other Mohammedan countries, have been ruthlessly uprooted. No vestige of political liberty has been left, and In spite of every effort the English representative In Egypt has nothing better to recommend than an Indefinite prolongation of our military occupation and our English tutelage. What England has accomplished in Egypt has been along the lines of Arabi's programme; and to allow the originator of these reforms to die in exile, an English prisoner of war.

would be a monstrous shame." I am aware that the question whether Arab! Pasha Is a patriot or a criminal is an unsettled one in the minds of many, but the trend of events in Egypt since he was banished, the Intelligent discussion of the rise and fall of the national movement, and the si At I OF LOUISVILLE. conduct of Arabl during his long- exile, have elicited for him and his cause much sympathy In Europe and America. Of course. Lord Salisbury's administration la inflexibly against the return of the old man to his loved land, and I suppose that there la not a Tory In her Majesty's service who would dare to differ, publicly, with the Premier on this or any other question of state; but, if many others are not mistaken, the verdict of history will be given In favor of this man. who thought and fought for the Independence of his country, and who tried to rid his land of rulers who had proved themselves utterly incapable to govern, who bad pawned the produce of their country twice over to the money-gamblers of Paris, Amsterdam and London, who bad taxed every acre of Egypt far beyond its ability to meet and live, and who had ground down to desperation the historic docility of that laborious and loyal people.

In order that a small class and caste might revel in luxury. Arabl Pasha handed me a copy of a letter that he addressed to Lady Anne Blunt, of England, who had shown sympathy for the Egyptian patriot and his fellow-exiles. This pathetic appeal was written some years since: To the Lady Blunt May God preserve you. Amen. We have forwarded to the Marquis of Salisbury the petition signed by me and by the rest of the exilea here with me.

I sent it with medical certificates on the SOth of last month, by the same steamer which conveyed the late Governor, Sir Arthur Gordon. Sir William Gregory, who is a friend of both parties, knows the substance of the petition, and will inform you of it when you see him. We have been now seven years and a half In Ceylon, while those very reforms which we wanted to make In Egypt are being carried out by the British Government, and we confidently trust In the humanity of the English nation for our return to our country for the days that are left us of life, and to enjoy the benefits of such reforms aa It has obtained. Surely now. the people In England must understand that to seek such reforms was our duty one both of patriotism and humanity.
