M. Gladstone made his anxiously
expected statement on the A2rrrm mt
with France as TO Egyptian af"irs
on Monday evening. He confined
himself rigidIy to narrative, but, of
course, contrived to make hat naua-
tive an argument for his action.
Avoiding all mention of finance, with
which, as we have shown elsewhere,
he could not deal, lie stated with grave
lucidiry the heads OF the agreements.
The French Government, which lie
described as loyal through Ut The he
ootiatioEs, had "entireIy and finally"
resigned all professions to revive the
condominium or Dual Control, and
had given ~"unequivocal assurances"
that, in the event Of the evacuation of
Egypt, they would not send troops
thithrr. On the other hand, Great
Britain had agreed not to remain in
Egypt beyond January 1st 1888, IF
The Powers Of Europe should declare
the state of the country was such as
to allow OF III departure win ouT
peril to its peace and order" She
would, in fact, only remain on
the im,i alton of Europe. Further,
she had agreed thai the CaiS>e dc la
Dette, the chairman Of which will be
English, should have the ri4ht of see
mg the Egyptian Budse' and suggest
mo alterations and am fl, ctivp pow
cr of preventing "excesses beyond its
limits, unless made NECESSARY by ac-
tuaI peril, Finally, She had agreed to
consider with France, before 1888, a
plan for the decentralization of Egypl",
and for the settlement OF the Sncz
Canal upon the basis Of the despatch
of January 3rd, 1888, which virtually
makes the Canal a free ann OF the
sea, but considers ii to he within the
three-nile limit

them impressive, not because they
were eloquent and full of thought, or
because they contained much infor-
nation, but because they recalled so
impressively the absolute good-tcm-
per, the indomitablc purpose, the calm
dignity, which Lord Spencer has
maintained throughout his very try
ing Lord Lieutenancy, and expressed
the warm regard for Ireland and for
the people Ct Ireland which has sur
vived all the vilification which he
has had TO bear. The people of Bel
fast have not been over-much pleased
recently with his attitude towards the
Orangemen; but they recognized so
fully the greatness Of the man, that
they received him as enthusiastically
as if he had never snubbed Orange
men in his life.

Prince Bismarck made on Tuesday
II remarkable speech to the German
Parliament on his Colonial policy.
lie complained of British delay in
affirming or rejecting the German
claim to Angra Pequena, but allowed
that the question was over now, and
di>claim"d amy intention OF 'making
the dcbat a demonstration against
Grea' Britain" He, however, wish
ed to make known HAT while Ge'ma-
ny, with her small feet, could not
follow the English and French plan of
seizng possessions, and leaving the
rest to the bureaucracy, she would
protect any c~oloni>ls she might have.

The Prince of Orange died at the Hague
on the afternoon OF June DIST. 1t appears
that, contrary to our impression, the right
OF females to succeed to the throne of the
Netherlands is recognized by Europe as
well as oy the constitution Of 1915 and
the Princess W|ilhclmina, four years old, is
therefore hcirrSs presumptive to the Grown.
She will not. however, inherit the Grand
Duchy Of Lnxembu,g, in which the Ger
man law OF succession prevails. The
Dutch Government intend, it is stated, to
propose at once the Law Of Regency pro.
vidcd for 10y the Constitution, and will ar
range that the Queen, with certain mobiles
and Ministers to assist her, shall be the
Regent. 1t is not believed that Germany
will oppose this arrangement, though the
claim of the Duke of Nassau, as the first
male agnate, to a place in the Regency,
may be warmly advocated.

The rich in England are grumbling
much, but they evidently are not
poor yet, The Fountaine family, of
hartford, in Norfolk, have for the last
four generations been collecting art
pottery and curiosities, and the pre-
sent owner has very wisely decided
TO bring item to the hammer. The
sale lasted three days, and was at
tended by collectors from all Europe,
who competed so eagerly that the
collection sold for the Ircposterous
amount of 99I 900. IN one instance
1890 was given for a single dish j;
in another, a candlestick fetched
f3,675 in a third, two candles}icks
bought to be sold 10 the nation, cost
21,3O0 and in a fom til, G4,452 was
paid for an ivory horn without a
history. An ever was knocked down
at G2,415; a sunk dish, in enamelS,
purchased for e., $40; an oval
dish went for G798 nmQ-a "small,
deep fa1ence DISH" whIcI! MI: Fohn-
fame Dough, from the Bernal %crlier-
ton for $50, realised G377 los, A
pair of pilgrims bottles, in old MEYERS
ware, found purchasers at G211 los.
and a pair of large covers, in the
same ware, at 9462. 1t is no business
of ours to blame m~ilIionares for buy
ing such things at such prices, though
they certainly are not benefting arr,
but we protest against wasting ma
tional money on them, as it is Dropos-
ed 10 do. The nation can wait for
the pottery and enamelS it wants till
the mania is over. 1t might as well
buv tuIip-bulbs at $1,000 apiece,
and better, for the tulips are beauti-
full, which halt these dishes are not.

Prince Napoleon denies his sons right of

SAN ANTONIO, n. M. June s., 81.
EDITOR LEADER:
Dear Sr:--For your informa-
ton and the readers OF the LEADER
as to where the blame lies for the
north bound mail being sent to
White Oaks, June 3rd, permit me
to say through the columns Of your
paper, that it was the fault of the
postmaster at San Antonio. But
the matter was duly reported by
first mail from this office, and if
Mr.. Bellomy reported the fact, the
matter has been duly brought to
their notice twice. And il that
does not cause Il removal, | would
be pleased to put my name on a
petition to GUST him. For a post
master should be infalliblc, and
then ! doubt if he would suit every
one.
| noticed, June 3rd, in mail from
White Oaks, there were twelve
letters sent TO this office, which
should have been sent to offices in
Lincoln county; on the 4th there
We're six. So let us have new
postmasters. The old ones may
kick, at least the one at San An
tonic, for It's a soft thing to handle
what little mail goes to, and comes
from, Lincoln county, and keep a
record Of registered matter in tran
sit, for The princely salary Of IS
per month. Yours
