Egypt.
«■ A majority of the Commissioners who have the control of the Egyptian Gaisse de la Dette voted a grant for the expedition. The representatives of France and Russia protested that the action was illegal, and then retired. General Kitchener, commander of the expedition, remains at Akasheh until the railway is completed to that point. The camels and cavalry will advance to Surada, where a body of 1000 Dervishes is reported to have appeared. It is reported that the Italian troops in Adowa are badly organised and without discipline. A Paris syndicate of bondholders has summoned the Commissioners of the Caisse and the Egyptian Government to appear before the mixed tri« bunals. As hitherto a majority has always decided the disposition of the reserves, it is expected that this attempt at protest will have to result. An Indian contingent has offered its services for the Soudan expedition if required, while two powerful sheiks have also offered their aid. Canada has offered to send a cavalry regiment to join the Soudan ex* pedition.
