Egyptian Riots Since the Ward leader, Nahas Pasha, ceased to

be Prime Minister of Egypt, the Wahl Party has been organizing risky demonstrations against the inithorities. The most serious of the riots occurred at Mansurah on Tuesday. The Government had forbidden a political meeting there although it had given permission for a luncheon at the House of Senator Mohamed Bey el Shinnawi. The car of Nahas Pasha, according to Reuter, charged through a police cordon. This act seems to have set the tone of the Wald demonstration. Bottles filled with sand and stones were thrown at the police and serious fighting developed. The 2'imes correspondent says that eight persons are reported to have been killed and a hundred injured.
