LIE PROPOSED MEETING.

THE PROPOSED MEETING.
LONDON, June 23.-ln the House OF Commons TO-
day Mr.. Gladstone made statement concerning
the Egyptian question which fully confirmed the
official report already given of the substance of the
recent correspondence between Earl Granville and
NJ. Waddington. The naturalization OF Egypt, the

withdraws from the country. Mr.. Gladstone tur-
ther stated that the conference of the Powers woud
meet next Saturday Its province would be to decide

which il might form would be of any force until
Parliament should give its assent.
Ia the House of Lords Earl Granville explained

ford Northcotc expressed his opposition to the
statement that the issue of Earl Granvie's circu-
lar convenng the Egyptian Conference on June -
is with the view of influencing Parliament during

sure the Government on its Egyptian policy. Lord
Randolph Churchill denounces the statement as
ludicrous The assurances from the French Gov
ernmcnt to the effect that it Will accept the DrOVI-
sOns of the Granville circular If such assurances
exist will possibly be repudiated within twenty
four hours and are absolutely valueess. Henry
Labouchere urged the the House to support the
Government. Lord ChurchilPs policy, he SAID, was
tending to a war with France.

day Prime Minister Ferry, In reviewing the Egyp-
tion question: made the following statements:
"Since 1883 France has been quite inactive so lar
as Egypt is concerned, inasmuch as she declined to
take part in the British expedition. 1t is too late
now TO think of reyiying the scheme OF condo
| ,oinjua IL is altogether impossible. Egypt is ne-
! tber French nor English. Her fate is a matter OF
| concern to all Europe, and what 1t is 10 be VIII
| alwavs be a European question. Mt. Gladstone 5
Government recognized this fact, aud was the fIst
to propose the naturalization OF, Egypt. France
has the best chance possible to, settle

tanned between the two nations whose accord Is 50
important TO the peace and liberty OF the world
