ANOTHER WAR CLOUD.
Trouble Said to lie Hrewing For the British in Kgypt. LOXDON, Fob. IS.—The correspondent of The Times at Cairo iys there in reason to believe that the kliedive is (hv termined to get rid of the ministry of Nubar Pasha and to nmder impossible any ministry similarly inclined to work amicably and loyally with the British representatives.
The khedi ,-e is much influenced by a Paris journalist who openly promises France's armed assistance. Attempts ai-e being made to stimulate antiEuropean feeling among the Mohammedan population in Alexandria and elsewhere. Warnings have been received even from native sources by various Europeans that trouble is brewing and the month of Ramadan, beginning next week, is anticipated with apprehensions.
When the authors of inflammatory articles are constantly seen haunting the khedive's ante-chambers, the ignorance of the Oriental masses naturally assumes that they have assuranoe of official sanction for words and deeds of violence.
Commenting 011 the foregoing, The Times, in a leader, warns the kliedive I that such intrigues can not safely be earned beyond a certain point, especially when they are accompanied by premeditory symptoms of disturbances, which a few years ago brought Egypt to the verge of ruin.

AN ACTRESS MURDERED.
Madge Yorke Shot by Jaines P. Gentry ilk a Philadelphia Hotel. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 18.—Madge
Yorke, a soprano singer with the Baggage Check company, was shot and almost instantly killed last night at Zeiss' hotel, this city, by James P. Gentry, a I comedian of Collier's Back Number company.
About 9 o'clock Gentry walked into the hotel office and asked to be shown to Miss Yorke's room. He was told to wait a few moments. A message was then sent to the girl's room, but Gentry did not wait. He walked out into the hallway and ascended by means of the stairway.
Miss Yorke and Miss Lida Clarke, a member of the company, wore in the former's room practicing songs, when Gentry opened the door and walked in unannounced. Miss Yorke manifested some surprise at seeing him and introduced him to Miss Clarice. After hastily •acknowledging the introduction. Miss Clarke r.ays Gentry turned to Miss Yorke, and in an angry tone demanded: '•Why didn't you meet me today?"
Before the girl could answer, he whipped a revolver from his pocket and iired three shots at her, each bullet taking effect, one over the right eye, one ill the center of the forehead and the third dose to the left temple. Gentry immediately rushed from the room and nothing has been seen of him since. A patrol wagon was summoned and the girl was taken to the Pennsylvania hospital, about a block distant, whore she died immediately upon her arrival.
Before entering the htfTel Gentry Wont to a theatrical boardingiiouse next door kept by a Mrs. Dietrich, where he •Vas informed that Miss Yorke was stopping at Zeiss'. Charles T. Blayney, author of the "Baggage Cheek," and Manager Cooper sa that it was generally understood that Gentry and the girl were engaged to be married, and no mot:ve for the deed, other than a fit of jealousy, can be imagined.
Tho murdered girl was well known in the profession. During the season of 1SS7-8S she was a member of the New York Casino Opera company. Of late years she has been with Natural Gas, I Hoss and Hoss, where she first met Gentry.
Gentry is described as a tall, thin, I sallow-faced man of about J5 years of age, and formerly resided in Richmond.

WHISKY TRUST STILL HAS LIFE.! Plans For Gettiis&r It 011 Its Feet Have IJeen Practically Agreed Upon.
CuK'ADO, Feb. IS.—It is stated liere that plans for getting the whisky trust on its l'eet have been practically agreed upon by the stockholders' reorganization committee. Every effort is being made to keep the terms secret until an address to the shareholders can be prepared. Three members of the reorgan ization committee, R. D. Hartshorne and S. D. Rice of New York, and W. D. Hutton of Cincinnati are in conference with Receivors McNulta, Mitchell and Lawrence.
It is said the concern is in excellent condition, and no difficulty will be experienced in raising the money necessary to get it out of the hands of the receivers. Instead of a pressing indebtedness of $1,000,000 or more, as Judge Grosscup was led to believe existed, the receivers discovered that the company owed only little more than $600,000 in the form of rebate vouchers, and $140,000 of those have been forfeited. The remaining .$400,000 is not due in a lump sum, but matures in small amounts from day to day, and can readily be met without sacrilicing any of the assets of the company.
It was discovered that the trust had almost $200,000 cash in the bank, which could be used for the payment of debts. The business, however, requires a reserve capital of that amount for, in lively times, from $8,000 to $10,000 a day is paid to the internal revenue collector in getting spirits out of bond. The trust owed only a small amount, as the managers had paid cash for all supplies bought.
The plan which, it is said, will probably be adopted, is to force a judicial sale of the property and buy it in. It is thought thkt stockholders favor the plan becauso it would get the company away from the receivers and restore it
hut. Mr. Hartshorne would not talk about the intentions of the committee further than to say that any plan that might be adopted wrould include the retirement of $1,000,000 in bonds now outstanding. These were sold at 50 cents on the dollar.

iSIY
LORD ELEPHANT.
When I was stationed up in the hill country, some 20 years ago, I used to bo passionately fond of hunting. I had not been out from England long, and tho novelty of following big game had not yet lost its charms. My duties did not occupy a great deal of my time, and I could often be absent a week or ten days without serious inconvenience to any one. With a couple of natives and my old "Henry," I would set forth on JYLowcha, my elephant. Mowcha was an exceptionally lino specimen of his race, endowed with all its virtues and but few of its faults. Ho was strong, patient, sagacious and devoted to his master. Ho had never been used as a working elephant, but only for tho purpose of tho chase. You should have seen his unwioldy bulk making its way noiselessly through the thick jungle grass, his great feot lifted and put down with tho utmost caution, his flexible trunk darting in all directions to scent the game, and his small eyes gleaming with excitement. He seemed to know instinctively the moment to fire, and then ho would not move a muscle. You know it requires no small amount of nerve to stand perfectly still with a Bengal devil in a striped skin charging at one, and too often it happens that your well directed shot is spoiled by your elephant's speedy retreat.
Tho natives deemed Mowcha superhuman, on account of his intelligence and strength, and his mahout always called him my lord the elophant and treated him with the greatest respect. You know the Hindoo belief—that the souls of one's ancestors have to reside for a period after death in the bodies of animals till they have atoned for their shortcomings on earth, and, lest tiny might unwittingly treat some of their grandfathers or great-grandfathers with disrespect, which would be a criminal violation of their religion, it is their custom to give to each of tho inmates of the jungle a particular title as, for instance, his highness the tiger, our king the lion, etc. So Mowcha was moro often addressed as my lord the elephant than by his real name.
He was a great pet in the regiment, and for tho children at tho station there was no better sport than to climb into the howdah, shrieking with laughter, and have a ride on Mowcha. Ho seemed to enjoy it as much as they did and carried his precious burden with the greatest dignity. Ho was really handsome, as elophants go, and looked his best when adorned with his scarlet trappings and harness and bearing the howdah filled with merry children, and it was a pretty sight to see them afterward bestowing upon him his reward in tho shape of pinoapples, bananas and mangoes, all of which ho loved to stow away in his capacious stomach.
I tell you all theso details that you may understand my grief when ho suddenly disappeared one night in early spring. My lord the elephant had been restless for several days, his mahout informed me afterward, and that evening ho had managed to break his chain and had vanished in the darkness. Whether ho had been spirited away by a clover thief, or had decided that ho had worked for man long enough and would now return to his native woods and the society of his kind, wo nevor knew, of course, but we missed him more than one would think, and for some time the cry among the children was, "If Mowcha were only here!"
I tried a number of other elephants for my hunting, but could not fill his place, and as my duties increased about that time my gun rarely left its case, and my cartridge belt hung unused on the wall.
About three or four years later I was invited to spend the Christmas holidays with an English friend who was giving a house party at his place farther up in the hills. I easily obtained leave and
He had formerly been Mowcha's mahout, but after that brute's uncanny disappearance he had attached himself to me and proved to be a very handy fellow. We were mounted on hardy little ponies, and the first day made about 60 miles, spending the night at the hnt of one of the forest rangers who are stationed by the government as a guard along the edges of large and important forests.'
Tho noxt day wo plunged into the forest itself. Toward midday we were startled by hearing a fearful, thunderous roaring, as of some monster in its death agony. At that distance I did not recognize it as the voice of any wild animal I was acquainted with and turned to Ramon for an explanation. His dark skin was bleached to ashen gray. "It's a herd of elephants," he exclaimed, "and they are sounding their

gross being hindered, however, by my heavy riding boots. We had no timo to secure our ponies, and the frightened animals, as soon as they were released, I sprang nimbly through tho thickets and disappeared, and with them, of course. vanished our only means of escape from tho forest, even though the elephants should pass UH by unharmed.
We reached our position of safety none too soon. I could see the heavy forest branches shaking violently, and soon a huge gray mass broke through, shambling along at a remarkable rate I of speed, not 20 yards from us and screaming with vicious rage. "It's a rogue elephant, sahib," said
Ramon. "They aro chasing him from the herd. I Such indeed seemed to bo tho case, for 100 yards behind him came another I enormous figure, which was headed straight for our place of refuge. As by lightning flash 1 saw the horrible death that menaced us. I already felt myself falling to the ground, in a second more to be trampled to death under those immouse feot. But at that instant I heard
Ramon call out boldly, "Let-rah gaj" (lie down). Tho great beast paused, "Let-rah, let-rah, again ho cried, and to my astonishment tho creature obediently went down upon its knees.
Ramon quickly descended, calling"mo to follow. Where a black leads.^i whito man tloes not lag behind, and down I went. I did not understand how tho magical transformation had been effected, but as 1 turned and caught sight of the animal I comprehended it all. Around the great foreleg was a chain, tho end of which still trailed on tne ground. Tho quick eyo of tho native had seen it. Ho knew that tho animal must have been in captivity at somo timo and called out tho word of command, hoping that it would bo obeyed. I Ho was not disappointed, for, although tho small eyes still gleamed with an ugly red light and the trunk waved mutinously in tho air, tho great creaturo had not forgotten his former training. We approached him cautiously at first, but presently Ramon rushed fearlessly up to tho brute and petted him effusively, calling him by every namo of endearment. "Ah, 'tis thou, my lord tho elephant! 'Tis thou, leader of tho herd, wiser than tho wiso men of tho temple, beautiful as a lotus bud, strong as tho winds of heaven! O great Lord Mowcha! Thy slave salutes thee!" 'Truly enough it was our old Mowcha, who, in spite of lapse of time and change of place, had not forgotten his old masters and the familiar word of command.
All this had happened within a few moments. The grat herd was still crashing through tho forest all around us, trumpeting with rage and shaking the ground in their fury. Should one of them chance to come near enough to seo us our lives would not bo worth a farthing. Mowcha seemed to understand the situation perfectly, for, his anger all gone, ho seized Ramon gently with his strong trunk and set him upon his neck, where tho mahout usually rides. Ho grasped me with the same ease and placed mo beside him. Then ho rose and started o.r at a good pace in the direction opposite to that taken by the rest of his fellows, and soon their screams and thunderings had died away.
Wo wondered where my lord tho elephant intended to convey us, whether to his nativo jungles or to the post again. Ramon tried to guide him, but found it impossible without tho help of tho usual an'kus, or goad, so wo confined our efforts to keeping our balance and staying on his back, a somewhat difficult task without tho aid of harness or liowdah.
Briefly told, his strong, steady pace never failed for over ten hours, until we entered tho post again. Our approach had been descried from afar, and every living soul had turned out to view tho spectacle. When it was perceived that it was Mowcha, dear old Mowcha, who was bringing us back in safety, a hearty cheer broke from all throats, a cheer for my lord the elephant. The children clapped their hands and shrieked with joy, and even the soldiers shared the general enthusiasm.
We gave my lord the elephant a feast such as never elephant had had before, but he did not seem to enjoy the dainties spread before him so much as tho moment when the howdah was plaoed on his back, and he was led forth, surrounded by the children, whom he once more bore solemnly around the post.
For two days he remained with us and was the object of attention and love. Then he became restless, and wo fancied he again longed for his forest home. So the cruel chain was stricken off his huge foot, and my lord the elephant, with roses and branches wreathed around his great neck and hanging from & his stubby tusks, was led forth and given his liborty.—Our Animal Friends.
Boiling Steel Tubes.
President Morton of tho celobrated Stevens institute speaks of the Mannersmaun process of rolling steel tubes as ono of the most striking discoveries of mechanics of late years. In this process a hot billet is passed in between two conical rolls, set with their axes at a small angle to each other. It comes out the other end a steel tube, with uniform walls, and no mandril or anything else is needed to mako the oontral opening. In other words, it seems as if a hole were taken to serve as a mandril and the steel W6re rolled on it into pipe. Tubes are made in this way from tho size of a knitting needle up to the diameter of 10 inches. The theory of tho method is that if a uniform bar of steel be stretched lengthwise it will gradually thin down by the yielding surface layers until it breaks, but if, however, the bar be much harder on its surface than on its interior the inside parts will give way first, developing a cavity along the axis of the bar. It may be assumed that the first effect of the rolls on the hot billet is to harden its surface, and then the elongating strain causes a parting of the interior portions and the formation of a tube.
IN FAVOR OF HORSE MEAT.
Veterinarians Say They Know of No Ob!®ss jection to Its Use. "Shall we eat horse:'' is a question which a Philadelphia newspaper has been putting to 1 auing veterinarians.
While none of them answered squarely in the affirmative, lh re was general concurrence in the opinion that horse meat make's rather good eating at a pinch. Francis Bridge said, "The flesh is as nutritious and in flavor as good as that of tho bovine, and I seo no gooel reason to interdict its uso as human food." W. L. Zuill declared that he would eat it in preference to pork. It is "moro juicy and of better flavor than ox flesh," he said. S. J. J. Hargar, who had once eaten a mule tenderloin, found it inferior in liber and taste to 1 beef. -T
E. 31. Miehiner thought That horseflesh was not injurious to "human health, and lie pointed out that neither tuberculosis, actinomycosis or trichina was found in the horse, the oxcep:inn being noted that rare cases of tuberculosis had been recorded. John W. Cadsden believed that the flesh of young horses properly cooked was good for man, ami he thought that if horses got much cheaper "there would bo a great temptation to try it." Samuel C. Weber said: "The flesh of the hor.^o seems to remain tender with age and has a more pungent savor than that of other animals. From theso superior qualities it may readily be seen why it should be more digestible than other meat, which ol'ien comes from animaiS which are prematurely as well as excessively fattened. In Europe, where raw meat is prescribe:! by physicians, it is generally that of the horse. They claim it is more health ,' for those undergoing severe muscular exercise and more nutritious for tho weak and amemic.
Alexander Glass sounded a warning in tho following experience: "In two instances, when I ate horseflesh, I found tho meat ve-iy tender and rather pleasant to the taste. At tho timo I could not shake off the thought, 'What if this horso had incipient glanders?' for some of that meat was very rare. Several years ago Dr. Huidekoper of Philadelphia invited some members of the Philadelphia club and of the City troop to a dinner, at the cemclusion of which ho announced to his guests, who were much pleased with the repast, that they had dined oil tho carcass of bis old white horso Fedora.
