EGYPT GIVES TN TO BRITSHSTAND Reports Say That Major De- mands Have Been Met By The Associated Press. London, Dec. 1.~~Egypt has agreed to the outstanding terms, previoua- . ly unaccepted, which were laid down following the assassination of the Sirdar Sir Lee Stack. Messages to this effect, it is learned from au- thoritative sources, bave been re- celved from Lord Allenby, British lilgh commissioner in Egypt. The situation both In Egypt and the Sudan continues quict, according to the latest reports from the various newspaper correspondents, whose disputches imply that further trou- ble in the Budan at any rate, is im- probable, The mutiny of a small body of troops in the eleventh Sudanese bat- talion is genefally ascribed directly to the influence brought to bear on the men by their officers, acting In Lehalf of Egyptian propagandists, The full extent of the casualties among the mutineers, suffered dur- Ing their fighting with the British, is as yet unknown and apparently will not be established until the ruins of | the bullding in which they barricad- ed themselves are cleared away, but some reports Indicate that only about & score lle under the debris. (A Cairo dispatch on Saturday said onae officer and 14 men of the mutineers were believed to have been killed, the remainder sur- rendering with the exception of a small number who were being rounded up by the police, An of ficlal communique showed that two | British officers, one British physiclan and two Syrian physiclans were killed and nine men of the ranks wnnded.) While ites admitted that the out- | look in FEgypt Is more obscure | than that in“the Sudan, the belfef is cxpressed that events there are tend- ing toward peace and order. The ('airo correspondent of the Daily Ex- understands that an agree- cnt has been reached by which the h troops will be withdrawn from the Alexandria customs house, v hich they recantly occupied. This, ~ adds, would seem to indicate con- fid e in the ‘willingness and abl]- 1ty of the new premier, Ziwar Pasha, to hold down the extremists and ful- [l pross the British terms. J No Official Report D 1.—Although not yet iclally announced, it s underatood oritatively that the Egyptian yoernment has accepted all the Iiritish demands, made at the time| uf the assassination of Major Gen-| | Sir Lee Stack. acceptance came after lengthy erences yesterday. Ifs first im- te consequence wil be the| cvation by the Rritish of the cvandria customs house, The ministers of education and | public works have resignad and it is | spected the minister of communt- | Tia Cairo affl s | Recor | Vance cations will follow suit. No reasons are given for the resignations. Mustafa Nahas, former minister, and & number of other lawyers have addressed a letter to the public pros- ecutor protesting against the arrest of members of the chamber of depu- tiés in connection with alleged plots against the British, and demanding their release, The Demands The demands to which the Egyp- tlan government refused to acceds were three in number, being points five, six and seven in Lord Allenby's original note. Textually, they pro- vided that the Egyptlan government should: (5) "Order within 24 hours th withdrawal from the Sudan of all Egyptian officers and purely Egyp- tlan units of the PEgyptlan army, with such resulting changes as shall hereafter be specified,” (6) “Notify the competent depart- ment that the Sudan government will Increase the area to be irrigated at Gezira and unlimited figure, as the may arlise.” (7) "“Withdraw all opposition in respects hereafter specified to ~the wishes of his majesty’s government concerning protection of forelgn in- tepests in Egypt.” Following the Egyptian refusal of these points the British authorities themselves order the Egyptian troops to evacuate the Budan and notified the Sudanese government that it was at liberty to increase the irrigation as specified In the note. The Egyptian soldlery indicated its wliiingness to resist a forced evac- uation of the Sudan and refused to retire unless ordered by the Calro government. This order subsequent- ly was given, and part of the troops are known to have left the territory. LIVED HERE 56 YEARS Mre.

The postal revenues jumped 7.53 per cent over the previous yoar {and mounted to $372,948,778, an Increase of $40,120,853 over 1023. | Audited expenditures to take care | of the growing business (ncreased only 6.4 per cent, their total having been $587,376,015. As a result the | annual ‘deficlt amounted to only $14,428,137, a reduction of $9,601, | 227 from the deficit resulting from ' the previous year's operations, “As gratitying as this reduction | is" says Mr. New, “it is not the| prime consideration in the adminis- | tration of the service which Is, in | my opinion, that of rendering the best service to the public consistent | with due regard for cost. If the public does not recelve a DMIFPHC»‘ tory service it is no answer to say the expenditures have been kept | within the revenues. The present | administration concelves it to be its | first duty to render this satisfac- tory service.” | No Salary Comment | The postmaster general makes no reference in his report to the ques- tion of increased salaries for postal employes, a subject which may come up at the short session of Congrees. Mr. New does refer, how- ever, to the survey for the ucer-l talnment of the cost of carrying and handling the malls, which he says has been completed and will be transmitted to Congress in a | special report. Mr. Now has stated heretofore he belleved there should be a readjustment of postal sal-| aries but urged, when bllls were | pending in Congress for increasing salaries, that the results of the cost ascertainment be awalted be- fore making changes, Buggestion {s made by Mr. New for legislation to permit the post- master general to appoint third- class postmasters and relleve the President of that duty. The Presi- dent appolnted 5,045 postmastérs of that class last year. ‘Thess post- masters. are in the classified civil service and are not appointed for any definita term, changes being made only in case of death, reslg- nation or removal. Recommendations Recommendations for improve- ment of the postal service, made by Mr. New, include: Increase In the interest rate al- | lowable on postal savings. | Charge for a return receipt for | registered articles.
