S9ROAR'S MURDERER. i QUESTION FOR THE GOVERNMENT. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, December 9. (Received December 10, at 8.45 a.m.) The ‘ Daily Mail ’ says that the real test in Egypt is still to conic. It asks whether the Government’s search for Sir Lee Stack’s murderer was a mere makebelieve. We cannot expect gratitude from a forgetful people like the Egyptians (it says), but we are determined to have their respect, oven if it means the disbandment of the Egyptian army and tho restoration of martial law.—Sydney ‘Sun’ Cable. ZIWAR COUNSELS GOVERNORS. A PROMISING OUTLOOK. LONDON, December 9. (Received December 10, at 9.35 a.m.) The Cairo correspondent of ‘ The Times’ says : “ Tho Governors of all tho provinces attended a special conference of Ministers, when the Prime Minister (Ziwar Pasha), who is also Minister of the Interior, delivered an important address to them. He reminded them that they were supreme, under the Ministry of the Interior, in their respective provinces, and they must administer them without any outside interference. Tho Government, he said, looked to them to ensure that no political propaganda _ was carried out unlawfully. These injunctions obviously refer to the state ot affairs existing under the previous regime, when the administrative officials were constantly interfered with by Zaghlulist senators and deputies, who seemed to consider that their parliamentary position gave them authority over the official Government representative, who was also subjected to other outside interference. Ihe new Government's action should conduce to terminate a condition of things which ■had become intolerable both to the responsible officials and to the people, and it is hoped that henceforward the Egyptian Government will follow the norma! and regular course, as it did prior to the Zaghlulists’ accession to power.” —‘ Ihe Times.’
