EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.
THE CONGREs EsS.
French Egyptian Interests i'm the Gem
gress-An Agreement between France
and England RRHIrRhle. etc.

ana England Desirable, etc.
LONDON, June 8-Parliament having ad-
iOurned for the Whitsuntide holidays, and
nearly all the members being out of town,
the effect of NJ. WaddingtOn's statement in
the French Assembly concerning the attitude
Of France In the congress upon political feel
ing here is not yet apparent. His statement
about any other question not directly raised
by the war Is a disappointment in these
financial circles, which are largely Interested
in Egyptian securities.
France, 1t is said has large interests In
Egypt, and 1t would have been highly desira-
bic that she and England could have come to
an agreement for better protection Of these
Interests. At the present moment M. Wad-
dlngtOn, however, has strong English sym
pathteS, and 1t Is suggested in some quarters
that perfect understanding exists between
him and the British Cabinet with repeCt to
the action Of the congress.
The confidence felt by the government In q
peaceful issue of congress is further shown
by its notification to the Indian government
that the second contingent of the national
troops will not be required and by its intma-
tiOn that the first army corps at AldershOt
will not be modified. The reserves, how
ever will not be discharged and permitted TO
return home for some time yet.
Some speculation has arisen in the confer
ence on account of the report that the Duke
of Cambridge will sail for Malta on Tuesday.
His royal highness Is now sixty years old,
and 1t IS suggested that he is not going to
make this voyage for pleasure The expana-
tiOn at the Horse Guards is that the Duke
goes there to review the Indian troops now at
Malta, and Judge for himself and for the gov
ernmcnt OF their capabilities for warfare in
Europe.

He was told that O certified copy would be fur

said that would be sufficient. The copy was
furnished Yesterday, and Is doubtless now on its

LONDON, June 8.-AdviCos from COnstanti-

public feeling there has been increased by a
report that the Sultan is dangerously i'll, and
wild rumors are circulated Of a suspicion
that poison has been administered. Moan
while, distrust prevails everywhere Bust

CeSsity. Money grows sCarCer every day
Food is aStonishingly dear. Scarcity. hard
ship and anxiety increase. The death rate
Increases, and much sickness prevails. Above
ALL everywhere are seen stealthy emmissa-
ries, who circulate among the people aston
ishing ard inccedible stories Of treason, plots
and COnsOiraCA's.
The D.. y the Sultan Abdul at this mo-
m"nt We'd Y cause for terrible convul-
sion, ti1 consequences Of which none can
foresee. Very contradictory accounts are
given Oft'he condition Of the depOsed Sultan
According to some he is insane; others assert

Should the present Sultan now die an at
tempt to proclaim Murad would be made and
strongly supported.
RectiiCatiOns in the lines Of demarkatiOn
between the Russian and Turkish troops
have resulted in considerable advantages to
the former. They are now in such position
that they could force themselves into the city
within few hours, and the resistance Of the
Turkish troops, however determined could
scarcely be efnctual.
