THE KHEDIVE's VISIT

There were at first some unkind suggestions that. the illness which prevented the Khedive from landing on his arrival in England was nothing worse than sea-sickness, though the sufferer from that unpleasant complaint is as a rule only too anxious to land; but when it became known that he was really ill every sympathy was felt for him, though his indisposition has sadly upset all the arrangements which were made for his amusement and edification during his stay in this country. However, he is now well again, and his to-day returned from a visit to the Queen at Windsor, He is described as **a good-looking young gentleman, of middle height, with a fresh complexion and a slight moustache." The crowd cheered heartily on his arrival at Charing Cross but much of their enthusiasm was evident] intended for the Sirdar, Sir Frenci Wingate. Abbas Pasha has, however, of late years adapted himself loyally tv the conditions of the British occupation of his country, and during his visit to us he will be welcomed everywhere in no grudging spirit. His visit to the City, where, in the dhall, he is to receive an address in a fine gold' casket, has been postponed till next week.
