PARIS, July 30 President Grevy to day
had conference with the President Of the
Senate and the Chamber of Deputies.
The newspapers here consider that the
vote by which the bill granting the Egyp-
tian credit was rejected in the Chamber of
Deputies yesterday clearly shows coalition
Of the enemies of the Cabinet than any pre-
else indication of opinion in the Chamber
on foreign politics. The composite nature
OF the msjority vote is shown By the fact
that the credit was rejected after speeches
had been made by Cemenceau and Demar-
Get, who are political opponents.
The Gambettist journals advise President
Grevy to summon NJ. Brissen, President Of
the Chamber OF Deputies, to form a new
Cabinet. 1t is doubtful, however, whether
Brissen would accept such a charge. The
crisis IS likely to last some days.
In consequence OF the rejection by the
Chamber OF the motion for vote of credit,
all movements of troops and of the feet
have been stopped. Admiral Conrad, com.
manding the French feet in Egyptian
waters has been ordered to maintain strict
neutrality.
The French men-of-war in Egyptian
waters have been ordered to station them
selves at Port Said, snd cease traversing the
SueZ canal.
