THE sUEZ CANAL ENDANGERED.

Alexandria the morning of the bonn

The situation OF various vessels OF the English fleet
was also marked the map. The Globe gives also

THE POLICY OF THREE COUNTRIES.

Ioxno, Jnlv 12.-The Times in o leading article
.,;s ,,ornino Saws: "Aiusurus Pacha, the Turkish
Ambassador had an interview yesterday with Ear
Gran Vile and demanded that the bombardment OF
Alexandria be cOuntermanded. Earl Granvule re-
nI;ed that circumstances compelled tho British
Government to take decisive action, ana tnat i's
decision could not be revoked.
We do not hesitate to say that the erect OF
Fnqland's determination has been to produce most
foyorah,e impression, both on public opinion and
tho iudgment of European statesmen. The repre-
sontativcs of three Powers have already expressed
ootisfaction az the Governments action. There 49,
tberefore no ground whatever for the
assertion that the action of England is judged
Inv Europe as high-handed or unnecessary.
If the Porte refuses to intervene in Egypt we snail
gladly welcome the assistance of France; and signs
are not wanting that NJ. de Freycinet has shown
timidity little to the taste of his countrymen. M
Gambettas speech yesterday III one of the bureaus
of the Chamber in the course OF which he said that
the most serious feature was that England ana
France. after having acted together at Alex
andria IN presenting the ultimatum' had
parted company and that if the separation proved
definite never would France have been in more
serious position is sign of public opinion not to be
neglected.
Earl Granville has replied to the remonstrance of
| Musurus Pacha, that England IN bombarding Alex
andrla acted the name OF inPoiS,i
that the movements OF Dervsch Pacha, the Turkish
Commissioner in Egypt, are being watched py order
| Arab Pacha. ,
The Paris correspondent of The Times reports that
| NJ Goblet. Minister of the Interior aud OF Works,
| replying to NJ Gambetta in regard TO Egyptian
affairs, said France had not cooperated IN the BON,
| bardment because the conduct OF England did
| not seem TO her justified and because France dld
not desire to emerge from the European concert.
The correspondent adds that ii is at least three
/ weeks since England proposed TO France to
| Join in the occupation OF the suez Canal, but as
France raised objections. England gave up the idea
of French cooperation in that direction and turned
her attention TO Alexandria. Since then she con-
staniiv nrged France 10 keep her company and un-
| nj the last moment she had not given up hope.

THE PUBLIC PRINTING WASTE.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUs


WASHINGTON July 12.-In the matter of public
printing the House of Representatives is always
great deal more willing to dance than TO pay for
the music Another illustration of this truth was
afforded by the discussion of item in the sundry
Civil bill to-day, to appropriate $2,400O00 fee

Mr.. Randall thought this a good time to preach
economy and arraign the majority for extraVa-
pance but Chairman Hiscock was able Immediately
70 show that the amount asked was about the sarne
as that appropriated last year. including do
ciencies and that the present bill sought TO pre-
vent future deficiencies by prohibiting the expendi-
ture of more than one-fourth OF the appropriation
| in any one quarter.
Mr.. Robinson, of Massachusetts,, made the very
sensible suggestion that If the House did not want
10 nav 70 much for public printing it ought not to
make such extravagant orders for printing and ne
called attention to the fact that MEMBER

There were some incidental references to the fact
that 80 many thousand copies of the Government
publications find their way Immediately into the
hands of junk-dealers and dealers IN second-hana
books. Chairman Hiscock said that after thor
ough investigation of this subject he was prepared
to saw that neither the Public Printer nor any other
officer of the Government was responsible for this
diversion of public documents. Congressman and
senator's must be held responsible for it.
This is q notorious fact There are members OF
Congress who habitually sell part or all OF their
documents long before they receive them Not long
ago a Representative who desired hundred or more

DISCUSSION IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
LONDON, July 12.-In the House of Commons this
afternoon, Mr.. Gladstone, replying to Mr.. Gourley,
Advanced Liberal Member for Sunderland said he
had made the communications to other Govern
ments in regard to the free navigation of the Suez
Canal which he had thought it his duty TO make.
Mr.. Gourley moved IN adjournment in order to OBJ
tam q satisfactory statement. Slr NlIrld Ba"SOn,
Radical seconded the motion, declaring that the
tion of England was atrocious, cruel and cowardly.
Mr. Gladstone said the action of the Government
had been quite apart from the interests of the bond
holders adding that it would be unjust on his part
to discuss the reasons for the course taken by
France. He also said that if the massacre at Alex
andria remained unavenged and uninvestigated the
effect would be serious to all Europeans. The
present Egyptian regime was one of military vio-
lence. The proceedings of Great Britain were not
against the people, but against their oppressors.
Sir Charl es Dixie, Under Secretary of Foreign
Affairs. replying TO Sir Henry d. Wolff said that as
fa- as he was aware Admiral Seymour had merely
cautioned merchant vessels that they would pass
through the Suez Canal at their risk. He added
that he was unaware that tOrpcdoes had been laid
in the canal He also said that it utterly untrue
that Arab Pacha represents national movement
He repelled the accusation of Mr. O'Kelly, member
for Roscommon that the action yesterday an
assassination. Austria and Germany had expressed
the opinion that it was perfectly legitimate. He
believed that the European concert would settle the
Egyptian question.
