All the schools have struck, the students forming processions in the streets, cheering Zaghlul Pasha and visiting the Ministries trying to bring out the Government employees.

(Received November 18th, 12.45 a.m.) n ' , s CAIRO, November 16. The Cabinet trouble is entirely domestic in the Egyptian crisis, and tho British authorities have nothing to do with the matter. It apparently is duo to soma misunderstanding with King Fuad in connexion with the Minister of Finance, who resigned on Friday, and Hassan Pasha, whom the King made Sub-Director of tho Royal Cabinet, and who has been dismissed since Zaghlul withdrew his resignation.
