KSCGLISH INGUATITUDE. An American's Serf in Egypt — Him- Consul Long Jtcscueil Doomed Alexandria and-Received Ifo ThnnUti for It—A Very Interesting Xarrative. Loxdox, N»v. 17. —Hero fol lows a letter from Col. Long, late United States consul in Alexandria, Egypt. It tells some . things we did not know before. I tell you in this connection that, wishing to write an editorial in the London Journal, for which I served in Egypt as a war correspondent, I wrote to Long, in Paris, for the facts to use to call the English attention to their ingratitude. I guess we will fetch government to a con sideration of the claims of the Americans to be at least thanked. It looks that way to me. The letter Long wrote contains too much meat to waste upon an exclu sively English newspaper reading public. This is it: "You ask me what was my share in the events succeeding the bombardment of Alexandria. 1 had, as the last consul to leave the doomed city, on the afternoon of !he 10th of July placed on board of the ships of the American squadron the rear guard of refugees of whatever nationality who had come to me for protection— French, Belgian, Italian, Greek. Syrian and others. HOW ALEXANDRIA MIGHT HAVB BEEN SAVED. "You know all that preceded the 11th• the flight of an affrighted European popu lation—brought about, it must be confess ed, by the hesitating and uncertain con duct of the consular and diplomatic corps, for I declare to you that but for the fatal summons to Europeans to disarm, publicly addressed by the consuls to their country men on the 13th, Alexandria would never have been bombarded. Why? you ask. For the reason that the Egyptian army was a collection of trembling cowards ab initio, who never manfully and with any heart carried a gun; and more, if they had ever been upon a field of battle never stayed there long enough to receive the fire of the enemy. From my own person al experience, I know the condition of that troop. Pas sing along the Place dv Consul with - friend, I said to him: 'Pay attention, I am going to frighten this officer' (the troops were echelloned in all the streets of Alex andria at the time.) I walked up, sternly fixed him with my Byes, and in the most sharp and bellicose manner asked him for a light. Surprised, frightened, he drop pel his gun and said: 'Deli deh y! Sed dcfi! wailah ana hyeff 1 ('Why do you do so; by , I was scared.") The truth is the disarmament made the cowardly brave and added renewed terror to the Europe ans, who were wholly defenseless and at the mercy of the Egyptians. A bold front after the massacre of the 11th would have overawed and deterred Arabi, the greatest coward of them all, from the resistance up to which they screwed their courage to the sticking point by their ignorance and their vanity—two qualities which eminently dis tinguish both the African savage and the I ttllah. ; A BRAVE ACT DECIDED UPON. •■After the 11th, the maneuvers of the English fleet were inexplicable. The white flag was hoisted at Ras-el-Tin, but no ac tion was taken. In the meantime the city had been fired, great thick black colamns of smoke enveloped it like a pall, and when night fell the very dome of heaven seemed to be ablaze. The calm which had settled down upon the outer harbor, where lay the victorious fleet, was unbroken save by the echoes of the roar of flame and the crash of falling tower and minaret. It was the night of the 12th. The stars were out, but half hid by the dense smoke of the city. The lurid glare projected from the flames reflected in a thousand fantastic shapes upon the sides of the painted ships the orgy of fire and flame which hid Alexandria in its fatal embrace. While leaning over the rail of the Quinnebaug, ever and anon speaking with Capt. Whitehead, the com mander, who, like myself, was looking on lost in reverie and filled with the honor that one would feel had tho gates of hades been pushed aside —but this was hades it selfl suddenly formed the resolution to enter the burning city. I was the Ameri can consul. It was my duty to re-estab lish my consulate, and, besides, it was a humane thing to do to stop incendie and from massacre those who had not profited by the invitation to leave. I had the firm conviction, and so said to Capt. Whitehead, that the city had been evacuated, and that it had been given up to fire and murder, the only arm, I was quite sure, the Arab would ever use. Mr. Gay, the correspond ent of the London Telegraph, decided to make the venture with me. * [:".^ V •'"- • THE PLAM EXECUTED. . "At 6 o'clock on the morning of the L3tb we went over the side of the Quinne baag, Ui9 American, marines and. sailors standing by in silence and with uncovered heads. They would have cheered* us if they dared, for the attempt bore the ap pearance of a forlorn party. To the cap tain I said 'adieu? to which, grasping our hands, he replied, lAv revoirP • Briefly ! told, jre entered the city heedless of the officer of the Helicon and Invincible, who cautioned us not to attempt it, as there were torpedoes in the inner port. Once in the city the scene was horrible. The roar of flames, the cries of the devils who, with torch in hand, wore securing booty and at the same time murdering whenever they could discover some miserable wretch who did not or could not get away from the de voted city, were some of its features. Gay and myself wore discovered finally and driven to our boat; Hot, however, before I had secured information I deemed of the utmost importance. I went on board the Quinnebaug and from thence communi cated with the American, admiral, who in turn gave the information to* Admiral Sir Beauchamp Seymour. The reconnois sance had proved that, if there were. tor pedoes, at least small boats might enter the inner harbor in safety. IMPORTANCE OF THE EECONNOISSANCE. "The embarkation of English marines and sailors was decided upon, and Gay and myself were ready at 3 o'clock at the wharf when they arrived. We were present at' THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE, WEDNESDAY MOKNL\ TG, DECEMBER 6,1882. the skirmish in the streets, when the red handed murders were swept into eternity by the deadly Gatiing. • From the Marina we forced our way along the quay to th& arsenal. There the prefect of police ap proached, and said to me: 'I am tfao pre fect of police.' 'What did he say ?' said Gay. I replied, 'He is the prefect of police.' Gay turned to the men who were following and said: ''Soldiers, you have before you the infamous prefect of police of the 11th of June!' 'Halt, soldiers!' I cried to the ten or more men whose "Martini-Henri rifles were leveled at him, 'this is not the man, but his successor.' The poor prefect saiik back upon v, bench trembling with fright. He had come as the advance guard of the khedive, whom he reported as flying from Ramleh to the palace at Ras-el-Tin. The day was passed in attempting. to force a passage through the burning streets to the Place dv Consul. IS was impossible, however, to effect it. We slept upon the ■quay surrounded by hundred of Jews- Syrians who, hidden in cellars and else where, had now come out to seek protec tion. SCENES IN THE CITY. " '•The morning of the 14th the American marines and soldiers, 150 strong, made a landing. We found our way over burning buildings and debris and saw the bodies of a hundred victims bursting with cor ruption under a blazing July sun. What a sight! But this has been .told so often it need not be repeated. It may interest you however, to tell you of a strange spectacle that met our gaze in the number of cats and dogs starving to death and feeding upon human carcasses. I occupied the consulate, and with the officers and soldiers sent to me to establish my " consulate pro ceeded in concert-with the gallant Lord Beresford and Lieut. Bradford to extin guish the fires. We materially aided in doing this, for the English troops had enough to do in performing more impor tant military service; for, with the3oo men landed it must not be forgotten that in front of us we had the army of Arabiat that time reported to be 60,000 strong. The inhabitants of Alexandria have been ox pansive in sending their thanks. I really believe but for the action of Admiral Nicholson in compliance with my request that 'not one stone would have been left upon another' in Alexandria. My recom pense lies in a sense of duty performed." Col. Long has received the thanks of the state department. That's all. He served in the interests of humanity, and when he had done that be had done what no other man. had the nerve to do. I hope England will do something in the matter. They ought to; don't yon think so? Pilgeim. A lleproa<>) to American Hotels. |N. Y. San.] The Lancet of Londor, one of the fore most medical journals in the world, warns all travelers of the dangers which it says attend a lengthened stay in an American or Canadian hotel. The plumbing arrange ments are declared to be defective in many cases, and conspicuously bad in others. . Frequently there are no traps at all under the basins, or, where there are traps, the pattern is said to be such as to afford no safeguard against the introduction of sewer gas into the apartment. Indeed, it would seem that even a short sojourn in a hotel of this description would suffice to sow the seeds of disease; and a correspondent of the Lancet avers that he was made seriously ill by sleeping only one night in a room where there was a fixed basin communicating directly with the sewer without any intervening trap. He kept the windows wide open, and filled the basin with water on retiring, but th« whole of the water was sucked out through the waste pipe during the Jnight, and the presence of sewer gB3 was plain in the morning. It is dangerous," says the wri ter, "for any adult to reside in a"hotel with such imperfect sanitary arrangements, and the air of the room would not improb ably cause death to a delicate child." Now, this is a matter about which Amer ican hotel keepers should be very sensi tive. We do not mean that they should resent these statements as being untrue or exaggerated, for we believe there is a good deal too much truth in them. But our landlords should be sensitive enough to such criticism to reform the evils thus pointed out. ,It is no answer or excuse to say. that we know of scores of hotels in Great Britain which are no better or very much worse; or to point to ths numerous hotels on tiie continent of Europe whose sanitary eontliaun is shameful. The ques tion now under discussion concerns our own hotels; and there ougfft not to be a single one in the United States of which the statements of our distinguished medi cal contemporary could be true. As a matter of fact, we have reason to believe that there are many hotels in this very city which are anything but health re sorts—hotels, indeed, which people had better keep out of, if they want to keep their health. Sea Telegraphy for Ships. M. Menusier has proposed a plan of telegraphy for the use of ships at sea. Upon his cable, which he would lay from the - French coast to New York, with a branch to Panama, he proposes to ingraft at distances of about one hun dred and eighty miles, representing the ship's daily sailing distance, vertical ca bles rising to the surface where the ends may be held up by buoys. To the main cable he would also add secondary cables thirty or sixty miles long, forming cross cables, like great arms stretching out on either side, to which verticle cables would be attached, each to be held in place by its surface buoy. Thus it could rarely happen that a ship keeping on the regular course would not be able to meet one of the buoys every day. Each buoy should have its number and its place marked on a special, chart. If a^ship wishes to send a dispatch, it at taches the wire of its own telegraphic apparatus, one to the cable that is held up by the buoy, the other to the buoy itself, which is of course in communica tion with the earth-currents. M. Men usier professes to solve the principal difficulty in the way of the successful operation of his invention, which is that of fixing tLe buoys so that they shall not be roinoved by storms, but declines to make bis plans public on account of the defective condition of the patent laws. He has, however, explained it to competent navigators, and they are said to regard it as practicable. Ventilation, Fumigation and Isolation* [Milwaukee Sun.] We have received some small-pox cir culars from the State Board of Health containing seasonable suggestions about keeping our head cool and our feet clean, together with remarks on isola tion, disinfection, ventilation and sul phurous fumigation. We are surprised to see so intelligent a body as the State Board of Health advocate sulphurous fumigation, as all the preachers we have ever heard preach have warned us to . beware of it. They have told us that it was better to be a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord than to be fumigated with the fumes of sulphur. We cannot reconcile the different theories. As for isolation, we have no objection if the party is old and homely, but m if she is young and good looking we would rather a confounds! sight have the smallpox tluin uk A Fight with a lilonstor Snake ia the Antwerp Zoo. [Chambers' Journal] In the summer of 1880 1 got a nasty squeeze from a big python in the Jar din Zoologiqne fit Autwerp, which laid me up for several days. I had observed this snake, a female, about fourteen feet long, in one of the dens, and from the white efflorescence about her lips, knew that she was suffering from caries of .the jaw with ulceration of the mucous mem brane, so fatal to snakes in confinement; and Laving pointed this out to Mr. Yek emann, the resident director, I obtained his permission to make a trial of an oint ment which I believed I had found effi cacious in the early stage of the disease among my own snakes. The four reptile elfins. in the lion house at Antwerp are not so commodious as those in the Lon don Gardens, notably in the absence of proper tanks, but are extremely "pret ty"—lots of artificial rockwork framing a large mirror at the back, which." has a very natural effect; so that what the poor snakes lack in water they make up for in looking-glass. I came on the fol lowing morning, armed with my oint ment; but the lady had betaken herself into a crevice of the rocks, where one could scarcely catch sight of her. There were other pythons in the cage, some of them nearly twenty feet long, some not more than five or six; but though they projected their heads and commenced to hiss, they did not attempt to attack; and the keeper intelligent man, who spoke French—said they would not come at us if we did not touch them. A little one jumped harmlessly at my leg as I stepped over him. For three days the pythoness remained in her rocky re treat; but on the fourth I caught sight of her at the top of the cage, and at once climbed up and brought her down. The poor thing's mouth was in a worse state than I had anticipated. She came down quietly enough, and though ner vous, was not spiteful, and allowed mo to handle her. THE TROUBLE BEGINS. Now, as ill-luck would have it, the regular keener was absent on this par ticular morning, and his place was tilled for the time by another from seme other part of the gardens, who spoke nothing but Flemish, of which tongue I am as profoundly ignorant as he rno.=t certain ly was of the creaturesun<n-r his charge. I went into the den with him. taking it for granted, of course, that lie was ac itemed to snakes, and grave him the box of ointment to hold until I was ready to use it. When I had brought the pythoness fairly down to the floor, I gripped her hard by the neck, which had the effect—which I intended it to have, and as it always has with snakes of making her open her mouth. I pressed her head away from me at the same time, to prevent her catching hold of any part of my clothing, in her effort to bite. In her fright and rage she drew her body up across my back, and twis ted her tail round and round my other arm. All that I now required of the keeper was, by teasing or pinching her here and there, or by unwinding her tail when necessary, to cause her to shift her coils constantly, and prevent her resting long enough on one spot to ap ply undue pressure. My face I could protect for myself with the left hand. This, I concluded, he understood, as a matter of course. I turned round to make a sign to him to be ready and give to me the ointment, when, judge of my dismay as I caught sight of his stolid face, with a sort of dull, impartial inter est on it, looking at me through the glass in front,and the door closed on the outside! He had got frightened by the noise of the other pythons, and had quietly gone out again. I was about to make an impatient gesture, when nt that instant the serpent tightened on me so sudden ly and violently that I momentarily lest consciousness. I then found myself STAGGERING ABOUT THE DEN, fighting for life. I expected to feel my ribs give way every moment, yet my chief fear at. the t*me wag of falling through the gins?. I pushed the reptile's head away from me with al] my might, least it should croon my Hreast, and I can remember catching sight of myself, a mulberry-colored figure, in the mirror. I knew too, that I was trampling about over the other pythons, who, furious at the disturbance, were now darting about the den above and all round me in every direction; and I exerted every energy to keep my feet, for I had presence of mind enough left to know that if I went down it would be all over with me. The heat was stifling. I could stand it no longer; the cage spun madly round and round before my eyes, and everything seemed *o flame and roar. I let go the head. The snake twisted sharply back over my right shoulder close to my face but did not bite me, and slid off on the ground. I just recollect falling against the door with outstretched hands, but nothing more until I found myself sit ting on the steps outside, coughing vio ie-itly, while the phlegmatic keeper was putting a hot key down my back for some occult reason. - I BROUGHT UP A LITTLE BLOOD and drenk a little brandy, after which I soon got better; but I was not well enough to walk home, and the bruise in my side did not fade for many a day. I suppose the whole affair did not last more than a few seconds, but I found it quite long enough. Fortunately, the snake had only a small part of her body across my left side and back; had she encircled me with a whole coil I should have been crushed like an eggshell. Curiously enough, my lelt arm was quite paralyzed, and I did not fully re cover the use of it for a week. I did not . know it at the time, but she must have pressed; her tail under my armpit-, and so compressed the nerves. The . a:ckknt was one of the stupidest and most pre ventable in the world, and was entirely owing to my taking the wrong man into the cage to assist me. I may add that I went in some days later with the prop er keeper, and performed the operation, not only without danger, but without the least difficulty. That serpents may be discriminative ly affectionate toward individuals, be yond mere instinctive absence of fear, everyone who has kept them must know. To those who have not, I should he happy to allow my own pets to prove their case. Can a snake have suffi cient intelligence to be jealous? Jeal ousy is perhaps the nearest approach to a rational attribute, showing some men tal process of logical inference or deduc tion, which animals evince. I don't press the point, but merely give the fact that Totsey, my boa, one of the gentlest and best-tempered of snakes, who lives in a cage in perfect peace with two pythons, an anaconda, a rattlesnake, a waspsnake, and several others, will in variably bite. them, if I take them. up when she is on my shoulder. A national exposition of railway appli ances will b» held at Chicago the 31st of next May to July 7. A distinguished . list of commissioners and railway men back ' the scheme. ::.i; I About Thrones. It seems that King Kalakaua lias re cently ordered of a Boston house a new throne for his sitting room. Tin-ones come high, lint if a man is in the lung business he has to have them. It seems to a man who don't know much about royalty that this pride, pomp and circumstance must have its drawbacks. Suppose you are a King, for instance, and after you have turned the cat out of the back door of the pal ace, and removed your ermine robe and laid it on a chair, and unbuttoned your royal suspenders, and hung your crown on the bedpost, and blown out the gas, you happen to think that you haven't wound ,the royal clock. You feel your way into the sitting room and put your eye out with a scepter somewhere try ing to find the mantel, and then fall head over appetite over a marble-top throne. It would make a man mad even if he had the blood of the royal family flow ing through his veins and leaking out of his nose. Kings are only mortal, and it occurs to us that when a kingly snoozer who has descended from the royal galoots away back busts his nose on a hump-back throne, and jams a bass wood scepter into his eye, he is go ing to use some harsh terms. In this country all men are sovereigns. Some of the royal family of America fit on a pale-blue plush tete-a-tete, and others sit on the tioor and permit their feet to dangle, but we are all Princes or Kings in our own right. We can call the President of the United States harsh names—ii' we feel like it and we are far enough away, and we belong to the other party. Americans are free to tread their native heath and criticize anybody they want to, but very few of them wear thrones. A large 1,500 --pound throne would be a cumbersome thing to ship over the U. P. road when ever a free-born American sovereign moved from Omaha to Green river. That's why so few of us use them. No American is going to make himself bald-headed wearing a sheet-iron crown with $2J)B worth of diadems on it, un less there is money in it. He prefers to just wag along without attracting at tention so far as possible and accumu late as much coin as he can. Still, the day may come when no family will be perfectly comfortable without an $80 throne in his house. But it will have its drawbacks and we hope the custom will never attain much stand ing in the country. A veneered throne in the sitting room with cracker crumbs and bread and butter in the seat would be of very little comfort to a man with democratic tastes. It would savor too much of an effete monarchy and chill the warm glow of patriotic pride, which every true American feels in the individ ual and universal freedom peculiar to our national institutions. Beside, it would be, as we say, a very awkward thing to move about and a poor thing to mortgage. It would hurt the family pride to mortgage the dear old throne or to sell it to a second-hand furniture man. Thai is why we say that free-born American sovereigns hail better plug along with the old style of chair and thus give royalty in this country a black eye.— Laram U j Boomerang. GIVING STEWART TAFFY. On,- ofProetox Knott's Stories. Hon. ,T. Proctor Enott, of Kentucky, is v delightful raconteur. He has a world of good stories, and lie spins them in a way that betters them. Seat ed among a party of friends, one day, he related one which isn't among the worst: A number of years ago a party of KentncMans swooped down upon New York city "a-seem.' of the sights." Sev eral of tliem were from the interior of the State and had never been as far East before, while the leader, a shrewd city citizen, glib of tongue, piloted the party through ways that were queer and tricks that were equally so. They happened upon Mr. Enott at one of the hotels and claimed him for their own. He was the very man they were looking for. Every sight of the groat city had been seen except A. T. Stewart, the merchant prince. "Wouldn't he intro duce them ?" The hero of Duluth pro tested that Stewart knew nothing and cared less for a country Congressman like himself, and had to decline. He finally convinced the delegation that he couldn't accompany them, and th*y filed slowly out of his room, after ex pressing a determination to seek out and see the elephant on their own hook. Later in the evening Mr. Knott sat in a parquette seat in Niblo's Garden, in tently watching the show.
