UNREST IN EGYPT.

NATIONALIST PARTY RESPONSIBLE Sir Eldon Corst’s Opinions, Press Association. —Telegrap h. —Copvrigh t. LONDON, April 28. In a Bine Book on “Egypt in 1909,” Sir Eldon Gorst declares that the Nationalist Party is morally responsible for Boutros’ murder, due to tbe. criminal incitements of self-styled - patriots. It would be calamitous if the improvement which had begun to manifest itself in the attitude of thecountry towards its rulers should be- cut short by the mad act of an individual, and the justification given to numerous elements who advocate stern repression. The best tribute that Boutros’ colleagues can pay his memory is to ensure the continuation of his work and pacification. Sir E. Gorst admits that the Press law, which was revised for the purpose of curbing incitements to crime, were applied with excessive moderation. Unless matters improved they would be applied witli greater severity.
