More About the Gladstone Interview
PARIS, Oct: 22..aRegarding the reported inter.
view with Mr.. Gladstone the G1ltlOis further
says:-Mr. Gladstone deprecated contention with
| Russia about Afghanfstan, and said he believed
| there would not be any; that India had apso-
as much as she can do to hold her conquests In
| Turkestan. The Austro- German alliance, he
said, was doubtless intended as check to Rus.
| STA; but the Importance Of such alliance should
not be exaggerated, as Prince Bismarck would
\ abandon it as readily as he had abandoned
| parliamentary parties which had served his pur-
pose. Mr.. Gladstone said he thought France
| and England had made mistake in permitting
| Turkey to resume her privileges in Egypt by the
| deposition of the Khedive; that 1t was also a
| mistake to exclude the other European powers
| from sharing in Egyptian control. England's
road to India, he said, must be retained by
| keeping up her maritime supremacy. Mr.. Gla L
stone said his recent visit to Italy satisfied him
that the Italia Irredenta question would not
prove source of danger to the peace of Italy
He said he believed the next election in England
| would return a liberal majority. He pointed out
| Lord Derby's course as an important sign OF the
times. He expressed f1attering opinion Of the
| present position and future prospect Of France
| He said he did not believe such episodes as the
| election OF NJ. Humbert were of any importance
| The 7eleUdpte evening paper OF Paris) also re-
| ports an interview With the English eX-premier
| in which Mr.. Gladstone is represented as say
! ing that the present French constitution was
| well framed, that the American constitution was
| likewise excellent for that country, and that
| since the civil war the American government
! had given repeated proofs Of wisdom. English
| thinkers, he said have watched with sympa-
thetic curiosity the spectacle OF great nation
under purely elective government.
