THE LUXOR DISPUTE
EXPLANATION BY EGYPTIAN MINISTER. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright). LONDON, February 17. An official statement by the Egyptian Minister in London regarding Luxor, says Mr Carter asked that a number of personal friends be allowed to visit the tomb on the 13th, but the authorities,, in conformity with previous arrangements, declined, having reserved this day for the Press only. Mr Carter, not contented, protested in discourteous terms and threatened to bring action against the Government and closed the tomb on his own authority. The Government could not allow such disregard of its authority and determined to ensure respect for the law and the supreme rights of civilisation. Universal. indignation could not fail to be aroused by this closure by Mr Carter. As to the decision of Mr Carter not to pursue his researches the scientific world will be the sole arbiter.
