saving that all was quiet there last evening
John Bright, referring to his resignation,
stated that he had nothing to explain or de-
fend. The sole reason for his retirement
was that he could not concur in the govern
ment's Egyptian policy. He had for forty
years held and taught the doctrine that he
still believed, and he could not conscien-
tiously approve the proceedings
at Alexandria. He believed that
the moral law applied to nations as well as
to individuals, and that the proceedings he
disapprOVed were In violation thereof and
of international law. II he had not sooner
retired, it was because of his high regard
for Mr.. Gladstone, and his other colleagues.

would have ei her had to submit to the meas
ure he entirely condemned or have been
IN constant conflict with his colleagues.

Mr. Bright. He said he agreed with his
principles, but not with his application Of
them.
