EGYPT'S NEW RULER.

ENTRY INTO CAIRO. 1 AUSTRALASIAN TROOPS LINE THE .STREETS. London, December 20. Prince Hussein, Egypt's new ruler, ' made bis ceremonial entry into Abdih Palace, Cairo, yesterday, amid great demonstrations of popular rejoicing. \ At 9.30 in the morning the booming oi' tlic first salute of 21 guns announced . that the Sultan had left the Palace of , Kaiiial Eddin. As the cannon sounded, the troops lining the route, presented arms. Egyptian cadets, long lines of territorials, tall New Zealandcra, hard-bitt..>n Australians, and the Ceylon Planters' Corps, were ranged between the Australian and British guards of honor. As the guns boomed- slowly from the citadel, the Egyptian and European or • J lool;ets crowded the windows, and balconies to view the procession. The Sultan was seated in a State carriage, drawn by four magnificent white horses, the coachman being garbed in scarlet and gold liveries. He was accompanied by the Prime Minister. The Prince's, mien was dignified and resolute. ,Thc slight tilt with which he wears bis high scarlet Egyptian fez,gave his bearing , jiuit of panache that enfl>!ffs~Sgyptian rulers to their people; ; ofrherwiee the Sultan was soberly and \ > perfectly dressed, and as gravely re-1 sponded to the applause with which.!; he was greeted by the people. '}' Egyptians, like other Orientals, cheer little, but all along the route, swelling louder and louder above the strains of the Khedival Anthem, sounded the elap- ■ ping of thousands of hands. The streets ■ were bright with flags, among which j 1 flashed conspicuously the Khedival ban- ■ ner with three white crescents and three i white stars. < The Ministers ' followed in the State j coach, and then a fine squadron of yoc- ,. manry, mounted on English horses. Next i ■ accompanied by scarlet-clad kavasses, came the carriages of the British High j

Karl Cromer, formerly Aft-nfc and | Gonsnl-General in Egypt, understands that the action taken with regard to Egypt merely severs the connection previously existing between Turkey and Egypt. Other collateral questions, he i adds, have been wisely left over for I subsequent consideration. J IThe following statement lias been issued by the Official Press Bureau:—"'Mr J Milne Cheetham, Acting High-o'ommiy i sioner for Egypt, writing to Prince ffus- | sein, pointed out that one party in the Ottoman Cabinet is of a peaceful order, the other is a band of unscrupulous military adventurers. Great Britain possessed ample evidence that ever since the outbreak of the war the Khedive had definitely thrown in his lot with the enemy, consequently he had forfeited his rights. Great Britain would accept the fullest responsibility in defence of the territories against aggression, whencesoevcr coming; relations with the foreign powers would bo conducted through the High Commissioner at Cairo and a continued endeavour would be made to associate those who are being governed in the task of government. The religious convictions of the Egyptian subjects -would be scrupulously respect- ■ " '"VJ - _^_-'
