SIR STAFFORD NoRTHcoTE's MOTION DEFEATED
THE GOVERNMENT HAS A MAJORITY OF 90.
LONDON July 3O.-In the House of Commons to-
night Sir Stafford Northcote Conservative moved
an address to the Queen praying that in any nego
tiatons relative to the Suez Canal she will decline
to recognize any claim of the Suez Canal Company
TO such MONOPOLY as would exclude other under
takings designed for the purpose of opening way
between the Mediterranean and Red seas. Inc
motion was received by the Tory members with
loud cheers.
Sir Stafford Northcote begged for q calm discus
sion of the notion which, he said. was not OF
party character. He wished to do nothing TO dls-
credit the Government. He only asked the House
to express such an opinion as would relieve tneh
from the embarrassment arising from practical
recognition of the monopoly of the Suez Canal
Company by some members of the Government
Mr.. Norwood NiberaD offered amendment
declaring that it was undesirable to PREJUDICE the
action of the Government, and that the House
declined to pass resolutions concerning further
negotiations or proceedings in connection with the
canal Mr. Gladstone, amid great applause cordlany
supported Mr.. Norwood's amendment.
Sir Stafford Northcote's motion was rejected. ana

Previous TO Sir Stafford Northcotes motion MT.
Gladstone SAID that before any action was takeL IN
regard to the second Suez Canal, the iouse should
have an opportunity of expressing its opinion on
the subject. The Government, he SAID, desired mer-
chants and shippers to have ample time to consider
the matter. The Government do not intend, he
added, early renewal of the negotiations as
II is hopeless consider the question fairly as long
as 1t is entangled IN politics.
Mr.. Gladstone. in opposing Sir Stafford Noith-
cotc's motion. maintained that the late uoveInii
ment was aware that when il bought the Suez Canal
shares NJ de Lesseps claimed rights even moro
exclusive than he does now. The passage OF SlI
Stafford Nortbcotes motion, he sad would
greatly diminish the Governments sanguine hopes
If coming 10 an agreement on the canal question.
The House of Commons would not be bound by the
opinion of the Executive. He declared that IL
would be useless TO pronounce an opinion on sub
jsct which would probably have to DO settled In
the courts of Egypt
Mr.. Childers, Chancellor of the Excbequer. said
he was confident before many months or years the
Government would succeed IN making satisiac-
tory agreement with regard to the canal.
