EGYPTIAN DIGNITY.
A CONCESSION AS TO SALUTING OFFICERS. THE -ASSASSIN'S APPEAL. By TeleKraph-Press Association-CopyrißM Cairo, June 5. The advocates of Wardani, the Nationalist murderer of Boutros Pasha (Egyptian Premier), have asked for a new trial. London, June 5. Eeuter's correspondent at Cairo states that Sir Eldon Gorst (British Agent and Consul-General in Egypt) has ordered that in future natives shall not be required to dismount from their camels in order to salute British officers. The correspondent predicts that the natives will continue to pay the usual compliments to native magnates, but will he delighted at the chance of insulting British officials. Sir Eldon Gorst's order was issued shortly after a British battalion had been insulted in the streets of Cairo;- so the concession to sentimentalists is, adds the correspondent, specially fatuous.
