The Times on Friday published a statement that Lord Wolseley

had been recalled, and the command of the Nile Ex- pedition entrusted to General Stephenson, and based on it a long leader. There was no truth in the statement, which pro- bably owed its origin to exaggerated accounts of some argu- ment between Lord Wolseley and the War Office as to some requisites for the Expedition. Lord Wolseley never fails, but few necessaries cost more than a successful General.
