stone moved a vote or credit for strengthening the
forces in Egypt He proposed threepence be added
TO the income tax for the latter half OF the year.
Mr. Gladstone stated that the expedition would
consist OF 24O0 cavalry, h. 400 infantry, 100 art-
lery, and 3.7OO garrison artillery, and that CON-
miSSariat reserve OF 3,1O0 men would sail later on
He said the recent conduct OF the Egyptian MILL
tary leaders was opposed TO the first impulses OF
humanity. There was not the smallest shred OF
evidence TO support the contention that the mill
taly party was the popular party. The govern
ment had no desire to interfere with the legitimate
authority OF the Sultan. The government had
obtained the moral assent OF Europe to the policy
they were pursuing. France was ready TO act
with England TO guarantee the freedom OF
the SueZ canal, but the government had no
reason to suppose that she would go further.
Mr.. Gladstone consented to withdraw the motion
for vote OF credit until to-day I'm Difference Sir
Stafford Northcote'S appeal for time 10 reply.

vote OF credit, introduced by Mr. Gladstone In the
House OF Commons Earl Granville said the gov
eminent was entirely without Information as to
whether the Sultan intended to send troops to
Egypt The government thought that In the
present state OF Egypt force must be employed.

Egypt Earl Granville confirmed the statement
that France and England hoped for the co-opera-
ton OF Italy In measures for the protection OF the
Suez canal He stated that the French govern
ment had not yet stated whether il would assist
in an advance into the interior OF Egypt The
feeling OF Europe, however, was In favor OF Eng
lands action.
