HoUsR--A MAJORITY OF 40 VOTE IN FAVOR
OF THE Governments EGYPTIAN POLICY.
A London telegram OF the 10Th says
The debate upon Sir Stafford NOrthcOte's
motion censurlng the Government for their
policy i'm Egypt was resumed to-day in the
| House OF Commons. Mr.. Ellis Ashmead
Bartlett, Conservative member for Eye.
spoke in favor OF the motion. He said that
| the Government, by allowing the destruc-
ton OF General Hicks and his army, had
brought about the present situation in the
Soudan, and had thereby earned the eX-
ecration Of the world.
Mr.. Thomas Power O'COnnor, Radical,
member for Galway, also supported the
motion OF censure. He condemned the
financial agents for interfering in the affairs
OF Egypt.
Dir. Joseph Cowen, Radical Reformer.
member for Newcastle-on-Tyne, said that
the Government knew perfectly well that
the mopgrel machine set up TO govern
Egypt would not work. Their laundering
policy had created ruin. They were re-
sponsible for the fact that the Soudan had
been given up TO the Mahdi and the slave
dealers.
MIR. James C.. McCoan, Home-Ruler,
member for Wicklow county, said that
Nubar Pasha was colossal imposter, and
that Ismail Pasha, the eX-khedive, ought
to return to Egypt.
The Right Hon. George j. Goshen, Lib
eral, member for Ripon, supported the
Governments policy, which. he said, had
been forced upon them by unforeseen
events. II was matter OF the greatest
difficulty TO infuse western ideas into Mus
SULLIVAN minds. 1t was all very well to say.

been asked to vote against the Government
because he disagreed with them on some
points OF their policy. He was not pre-
pared. however, to give Lord Salisbury q
blank check. Tremendous cheers.1
The Right Hon. Edward Gibson, Con-
sentative member for Dublin University,
declared that IL Tokar should be saved its
saving would be due TO Sir Stafford North
cote's motion. The Governments policy,
even now. was inconsistent. They had
proclaimed III 1lahdi Sultan in one part OF
Egypt while fighting him in another part.
While combating slavery on the Red Sea
littoral, they had proclaimed in favor OF
slavery ut Khartoum.
The Marquis OF harrington, Secretary oil
State for War, said that the British Govern
ment had not abandoned the hope Oh q
native Government for Egypt, which
Government, however, might have to be
aided by English advice, perhaps perma'
nentiy.
Sir Stafford Sorthcote said that the pre-
sent Government had spoiled the late Gov
ernment's Egyptian policy. lRoars OF
laughter.l The Government had not an.
swered the charge OF inconsistency and
vacilation, and the division on his mo-
ton would not settle the question. He
would have occasion to call attention 10
further proceedings OF the Government.
The division was then taken on Sir Stat
ford Northcote's motion, and 1t was defeat
ed by vote Of 81 to 262. The Parnellite
members voted against the Government.
Although the Irish party at the supposed
crisis threw their whole yote-whieh they
themselves said amounted TO 3i-on the
side OF the Conservatives. the Government
obtained majority of 40 in house NUM-
bering 573. Both sides brought every
available man TO the division. During the
closing hours of the debate 1t was expect
ed that the Government majority would b.
only 35. The result OF the division was
received by the Liberal members with pro
longed and enthusiastic cheering.
Sir Stafford Norlhcote will take the usua
course OF resigning his seat and offering
himself for reelection.

for Carlow county, has seeded from thu
