COMEDY IN EGYPT.

AGITATORS CHECKMATED. MAROONED IN THE DESERT. CAIRO, May 1. The Egyptian authorities adroitly averted a threatened political crisis by taking leading agitators for a ride. Nahas Pasha, Mahmud Pasha, and many of their followers, broko through a police cordon at Cairo station and in spite of broken heads boarded a train for Tantnh, intending to open a campaign of boycotting the elections.
