THE sUEz CANAL AND THE POWERS.

PARIS, June 18.-Le Idris, the Government
organ, says: " France and England have agreed to
propose at the Egyptian Conference meas
ures looking to the naturalization Of the
Suez Canal. The preliminary agreement be-
tween France and England stipulates that the
British troops shall remain In Egypt until January
l, 1888, and may remain longer if England and one
other Great Power judge it expedient."
HJhe Daily NeDS referring the agreement, says ::
1t gives every practical guarantee for tine main
tenance of English interests in Egypt. The hostile
vote of Parliament would be fatal to the scheme.
The dissolution of that body would speedily fol-
low, the European concert would be dissolved, the
friendly understanding with France would be
ceeded by jealous, almost hostile feeling the set
tlement of Egypt would be indefinitely adjourned
the prospect of European war would become near
and distinct and the reality would be upon us
sooner than we dream"
