JEGYPTIAN UNREST.
Cairo, November 21.
Troops and police early surrounded the Parliament building to enforce the warning mentioned on November 18, but a meeting of senators and deputies numbering 180 was held at the Continental Hotel.
The three Opposition groups previously issued a manifesto pro- testing against "the Government's unconstitutional action" and declaring the dissolution decree of last March illegal.
Zagloul Pasha this morning exhorted the student demonstrators outside his house to return quietly to their homes.
Zagioul then went to the Continental Hotel where the meeting elected him President of the Chamber und passed a resolution of non-confidence in the present Ministry, declaring "Parliament" would meet at a time and place the members may decide.
Zagloul in his speech said he was a defender of the constitution. The meeting ended without incident.---Reuter,
