THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES. 1884.

THE TINES will enter upon the new year
stronger and more prosperous than ever be-
fore in its histOry-more widely read and
quoted, more heartily commended, and more
fieTcely criticized, with q more complete Or
ganizatiOn, and an able ssOff of contributors
and with the same Independence and fearless
ness that has made 1t successful and powerful
in the past.
THE TIMES has no party to follow, nc candi-
dates to advance, but will meet every issue, as
it has ever done. with consistent devotion to
the right. to honest government, and the pub
lie welfare. And, while maintaining its posi-
ton as the leading journal of Philadelphia, it
viii aim TO be continually in the advance in all
that can add value to q newspaper.
The value of newspaper is not in its size or
display, but in the intelligence and care, the
cOnciseneSs and freshness with which ii is
edited. THE TIMES spends lavishly for news
from all parts of the world but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and condensed. in
order to give the complete news Of the day in
the most concise and attractive shape, and with
il a large variety of entertaining aud instFuC-
tive reading. The best writers at home and
abroad are employed to enrich rs columns,
and to make 1t journal adapted both to the
busy man and to the leisure of the home cir
Gle, a welcome visitor to intelligent and honest
citizens of every political, religious and social
taste.
THE WEEKLY TIMES is altogether different
from the weekly newspapers Of twenty years
ago. The day of those papers have gone by,
Tic telegraph and better local newspapers
/ everywhere, especially in the thriving centres
| OF rural population, have made the old weekly
/ metropolitan newspaper unsatisfying. Those
/ that cling to their ancient usases have lost
/ their hold On our fOrward-mOving people: they
are but shadows of their form er greatness and
/ they have but a shadow of their former power
! Those papers have had their usefulness, but il
! is gone; and, with it, they are going, zoo. Il
was not the fault of the papers; il was the i'm
/ prOyement of the country that brought about
/ the change. Men and women, wherever they
/ live, now require fresher news; and they re
! quire more than news.
/ THE WEEKLY TIMES gathers off the types O.
| every passing week whatever has lasting in
terPSt to the people at large. and sets it befor'
! them In such generosity of paper and print q
would have ast0n1shed us all twenty yeOrs ago
DAILY-TwelVe cents & week fifty cents

st. Louis declares that she would have
secured the bourbon convention if she
aid had the money to spend which Chi
cago lavished on the Southern delegates
at Washington. Chicago had three par
lors. The interval between drinks was
fixed at an 'irreducible minimum" The
st. Louis people had but one parlor, and
the walk to the bar was a long and pain
full journey. With this stragetic disad-
vantage the St. Louis delegation fought
with principle, but at no time with hope.

The Plan Proposed by England and Which
Was Approved by France.

The Plan Proposed by England and Which
Was Approved by France.
LONDON, June 23.-It is officially announced
that on June 16 Earl Granville, Foreign Secre-
tary of State, addressed note to NJ. Wadding-
ton, the French minister, the substance of which
was as follows:
England undertakes to withdraw her troops
from Egypt at the beginning of 1888, in case the
powers consider such withdrawal possible with
out endangering public order. The Caisse de la
Dette PubliQue, after 1885. will have consulta-
tive voice in regard to the budget, and have a
right to veto any increase of expenses on the
part of the government. 1t shall continue to
exercise the right of financial inspection after
the evacuation of the country by the English in
order to insure the regular collection of revenue
England also undertakes, during her occupation,
to PROFOUND schemes to the Porte and the pow
ers for the naturalization of Egypt, like Bel
gium and for the naturalization of the Suez
canaln
In reply NJ. Waddington gave assurances of
the satisfaction with which France noted the
points suggested by Granville France he
said, accepts Granville's proposal, and testifes
to Englands moderation and friendly spirit,
which it thinks will strengthen the bonds that
bind the countries together"
In the Commons, to-day, Mr. Gladstone made
an elaborate statement concerning the Egyptian
question, which only elaborated the official re-
port, already given, of the substance of the cor
respondence between Earl Granville and NJ
Waddington, the French minister The neutral
ization of Egypt, Mr.. Gladstone said is to be de-
ferred until England withdraws from the
country. Mr. Gladstone further stated that the
conference of the powers would meet on Satur
day next Its province would be to decide in re-
gard to Egyptian finances but no decision which
it might form would be of any force till Parlia-
ment should give its assent
In the Lords, Earl Granville explained the
conference scheme, making statement similar
to that made by Prime Minister Ferry to the
French Chamber of Deputies
The Marquis of Salisbury said the statement
of the Egyptian secretary contained much that
was perilous to British interests and was full of
menances for the future.
Intense discomfort prevails among the group
of independent Liberalism regard to Gladstone's
statement concerning egyptian affairs

Wan and 100 English, arrived by the steamship
Arizona, en- route for Salt Lake City. under
charge of Chief Elder c. H. Nye. AS the steam
er reached her dock roll-call was held,
and each elder was detailed to his
respective post. The young women looked
listless and the elders rushed among them Civ
ing orders Elder c. H. Nye said: ''The con
verts l bring are not all recent aecessions,
some having been members of the
church over thirty years, who, through
lack of means or other cause have been unable
to come here sooner 1 am now going back to
Utah, to remain there. Within short time of
our arrivai further relay Of elders will be
sent to Europe to keep up the work. L consider

Referring to the arrest of Mormon missionaries
in Vienna Mr.. Nye said: II do not contemplate
any serious outcome from it. Austria is very

structing ship-canal which should connect the
two oceans by means of water way of such
dimensions as would admit the passage of the
largest commercial war vessels, or else
the concession would be held and
the United States thus prevented from
constructing such work on its own account, or
by its citizens unless by the consent of the
powers referred to- This information came so
directly that there seemed to be no doubt of it's
accuracy. The State Department, for once
awaking to the necessity of immediate action,
took such steps as it deemed proper, and asked
Congress for sum of money that could be used
to complete the preliminary negotiations. The
mysterious part of the matter is the use to
which the money asked for is to be put France,
or French subjects working by permission of
their government have already acquired
vested right to the shortest and what is gener-
ally believed to be the most advantageous, route
for water way between the two oceans, and it
behooves the United States not to be tardy in
obtaining control of the only available way that
is left to us. AS to whether or not any Amer
ican company is to be bought out is a part of the
matter concerning which the State Department
has not yet seen fit to inform Congress; but it is
likely the whole affair will be fully developed in
the next ten days.
