AFFAIRS IN EGYPT.

DEADLOCK CONTINUES. SPASMODIC DISORDERS. DEMONSTRATORS- KILLED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Dee. 23, 5.5 p.m. Cairo, Dec. ’22#. The situation is developing favorably to Zaghalul Pasha, with a corresponding weakening of the moderate influences, owing to the failure of the AngloEgyptian negotiations. The Sultan has hitherto not accepted the resignation of the Premier (Adly Pasha), who persists in declaring that he will participate in the Government. The political deadlock, therefore, continues. Addressing the students at the Saidieh secondary school, who are striking, Zaghalul Pasha advocated non-co-opera-tion on the lines of Gandhism. A later message states the military authorities have forbidden the nationalist leader Zaghalul Pasha to in anywise participate in politics, and they have ordered him, with eight prominent supporters, to return to the villages. The order was disobeyed, and hence they leave under military escort early on i riday. Excited crowds gathered in the vicinity of Zaghalul’s house and elsewhere, and two demonstrators were killed and six wounded in gunshot collisions with the police.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. Cairo, Dec. 22. There have been several collisions with the police and two demonstrators were killed and six wounded by gunshot.
