make any movement Arab Pasha lis trying
to establish relations with the Arabs in
Tripoli and southern Tunis. The conference
met yesterday chiefly to consider temporary
measure for the security of the Suez canal.

the protection of the canal be intrusted 10
England and France in conjunction with the
Arabian powers. There was no decision
owing to the want OF instructions from the
respective governments OF the conferers.

diverted the Maphoudih canal, which supplies
Alexandria with water, but it is believed that the

nounced that if the vote OF credit was agreed
to, he would ask the house to proceed with the
tax bill TO meet the increased expenditures in

Egypt. At the request OF Gladstone number
of questions relative to Egyptian affairs were
withdrawn. Gladstone confirmed the report
that the sultan had agreed to enter the confer
encc, but stated that the porte had not replied
as to sending Turkish troops TO Egypt.

that they reserved the right with France of
taking steps TO preserve the Suez canal. The

to the canal should receive the sanction of
Europe. France and England, therefore pro.
posed that the powers be designated who
shall be charged in case of need with the
protection OF the canal In order to
save time the powers to be designated
should be authorized TO decide on the mode of
action which should be exercised in every
case on the principle OF the protocol dc des-
interessement.
