GranviIle,s Note to the Powers.

LONDON, June 11.-Earl Granville, in a note
to the powers giving the programme of the
Egyptian conference, entirely ignores
the agreement with France The note
is limited to general statement of the fnan-
cial condition of Egypt 1t requires a revision
of the law of liquidation and reiterates the de-
sire of England to withdraw her troops from
Egypt when order has been restored The note
avoids making definite proposals to the powers.
The Paris papers, Gaulois and Figaro, concur
in the belief that the English and French Cabi
nets have agreed to give vague character to
the note to the powers in relation to the
Egyptian conference in order to aid in prevent
ing Gladstone from being made subiectt formal
disapproval by the English government

CUBA'S GRIEVANCES.
The Tremendous Drain on the Island Through
Taxation.

PHILADELPHIA, June l1-'No pen has done
justice TO the present condition of our island'
said Dr. Ignatio Mores, of Cuba, who gradu-
ated ten years ago at the University of Penn
sylvania, and is now visiting in Philadelphia the
friends of his student days. Spain is literally
draining us of the profits of our industries, and
taxation has reached the point at which it be-
comes confscation No man predict our
future, but a great change must soon come in
some way. If it is to be revolution, it will be
a very different one from any that we have had.
The rebels have always consisted of the lower
classes of the interior country led by few fiery
youngsters who were equal to nothing but
guerrilla sort of fighting No such war as that
could possibly shake off the grip of Spain:
but if she does not ease up on her
policy there will be rebellion of the
landed propretors and the moneyed and bust
ness people. They might as well make a fight
for their interests, as, under the system of
Spanish taxation, ruin is staring them in the
face 1t will not require much more eXaction to
induce them TO hoist the flag of the Cuba Libre
''Where would they seek for alliancesN
THAT is one very troublesome question.
Prudent Cubans foresee how hard it would be
for them to maintain an independent govern
ment unless they had the active friendship of

REASONS FOR DECLINING.
'The canvass and administration which it is
desired that l should undertake would embrace

any illusion as to their burdens Three years

which induced my action in 1880 have become i'm
perative. 1 ought not to assume task which 1
have not the physical strength to carry
through. To reform the administration of the
federal government, to realize my own ideal,
and to fulfill the just expectations of the people,
would, indeed warrant, as they could alone
compensate, the sacrifices which the undertak-
ing would involve; but in my condition of ad-
vancing years and declining strength, feel no
assurance of my ability to accomplish these OBJ

an administration or of a canvass. I'm

of heaven-the occasion ana the

full beyond all words to my fellow-countrymen

me, am consoled by the reflection that neither
the Democratic party nor the republic, for whose
future that party is the best guarantee, is now,
ever can be, dependent upon any one man for
their successful progress in the path of noble
destiny. Having given to their welfare what
ever of health and strength 1 possessed, or
could borrow from the future, and having
reached the term of my capacity for such labors

necessity that we should have some alliance has

GLADsTONEs's FRANCHISE BILL.
The Amendment Proposing to Extend Suf-

The Amendment Proposing to Extend Suf-
frage to Female Householders.
LONDON, June 1.-THE House of Commons
presented an unusually animated appearance yes
terday afternoon, the occasion being the dis
cussiOn of the amendment to the franchise bill
offered by William Woodall, NJ P. for Stokeon-
Trent, and which proposes to extend the suffrage
to female householders. The lobby and galleries
were crowded with spectators, and that portion
of the gallery known as the ladies' cage was
especially brilliant in appearance, being packed
with ladies in all the beauty of spring toilets. The
discussion brought out the fact that the woman
suffrage proposition has strong supporters
on both sides of the house, and that it is ques-
ton upon which the party line cannot be drawn
Mr.. Gladstone is, to be sure, opposed to the
amendment, but his son, Mr. Herbert Gladstone
with Postmaster general Fawcett and many
other Liberal members, are in favor of it. and
have signed memorial to the government ask
ing that full and free debate be allowed, and
that a vote for the amendment be not construed
as a vote against the government or deserton
of the Liberal party. Sir Stafford Northcote
favors the amendment and openly pledged him
self to its support in recent speech at Belfast.
Mr.. Gorst and many other conservative members
believe with the Tory leader while his chief lieu
tenant, Lord Randolph Churchill, opposes him.
Mr.. GladstoneS own views as to the merits of
the question have been adroitly kept in the
background, for all the reason he has yet ad
vanced for opposing the amendment is that it
might endanger the success of the franchise bill
itself Many of the Parnelltes favor the meas
ure because they say they can trust to the pa
triotism of the Irish women to vote for Irish
naturalization, but the leader hesitates and
bases his objection upon the same fear as that
expressed by Mr. Gladstone. Discussion was
adjourned without coming to any final result,
not even taking test vote, but the leaders of
the movement seem confident of success.
