PRELIMINARY MEETING OF THE CONFERENCE.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, June 22.-The ambas
sadors met to-day at the British embassy,

DEVICE OF STOCK JoBBERs.
LONDON, June 22-It is ascertained from
official sources that there is no truth in the
rumors with reference to the troubles in the
cabinet in consequence of objections TO inter
vention in Egypt. The rumors are attributed
to the devices of operators in Egyptian secu-
rites on the Stock Exchange.
NEWSPAPER MAN BEATEN BY AN ARAB.
1t is reported that the correspondent of
the New York Herald at Alexandria was
beaten by an Arab to-day.
OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
The official correspondence relative to the
Egyptian question has been published. 1t
shows that Bismarck is favorable TO inter-
vention by the sultan as sovereign of Egypt,
but would not oppose any other proposal
sanctioned by a concert of the powers. On
the 22d of February DeFreycinet expressed
to the British ambassador strong objection
to armed Intervention by the Porte, consider
ing the object of the powers to be to render
forcible intervention unnecessary. The cor
respondence shows that France first proposed
sending iron-clads to Egypt.
DESPERATE MEASURES.
An Alexandria correspondent of the Tsle-
gToph says he is informed on the best author
ity that if France and England interfere
actively in Egyptian AFFAIR.", Arab Pasha
will blow up the Suez canal, cut the railway
to Cairo and oppose the landing of European
.1rsa r N
retire to the desert, where he is promised the
support of 10000 Bedouins, the partisans of
Prince Halem. The Egyptian ministry is
prepared TO sanction the above ON patriotic
grounds. Reports of differences in the cab
met on the Egyptian question are without
shadow of foundation.
WON'T GO IN WITHOUT TURKEY.
VIENNA, June 22.-In view of the prece-
dent of the fruitless conference in regard to
Affairs in Greece, the Vienna Rressc says:
Germany, Austria and Italy have declined
to take part in the conference at Constanti-
nople without the participation and against
the will of Turkey" The conference is
based, the Fresse says, upon the idea that its
decision will be executed by the sultan, and
the concurrence of Turkey is therefore indis-
pensable.
LOOKS LIKE DUPLICITY.
has a telegram from the sultan instructing
him to use his efforts to induce Arab Pasha
to proceed to Constantinople before the first
sitting OF the conference, and stating that the
sultan is satisfied with the attitude of Arab
Pasha. 1t is believed that Arab will de-
cline to go to Constantinople. The sultan
has also telegraphed the khedive expressing
at his course, and promising the
use of every means to strengthen his authority.
THE BASIS OF THE CONFERENCE.
PARIS, June 22.-In the Chamber of Dep
uties to-day DeFreycinet, prime minister,
said that France and England have gwen
their ambassadors Instructions, as the basis
OF the conference, for the ere-establishment of
the rights of the sultan, the maintenance of
the rights of the khedive, the preservation
of the liberties of the Egyptians and the
observance of the international engagements
of Egypt. The former, he said, was TO sign
the protocol forbidding them to seek any
advantage outside of the basis of the con-
ference. The government had not resigned
their independence. On the contrary, to all
expectations, If they found themselves con-
fronted by a solution inconsistent with their
dignity, they would resume the liberty of
action, but they were convinced that the ex-
isting accord would continue.
