of Financial Measures.

of Financial Measures
LONDON, May 29.-At the meeting, yesterday,
of the conference on the Egyptian question,
Earl Granville briefly stated the financial propo-
sails to be considered, ard the conference then
adjourned, to allow the finance experts to exam
inc the proposals. The date for the next meet
ing was not fixed
The Observer believes the proposals have in
view a reduction of interest on the unified per
cent. debt and the privileged debt, each to one
half the present rates; the domain loans at 5
per cent, and the daira sanied loans at 4
to 5 per cent. are to be left as at
present If the revenues are insufficient to pay
the daira interest the Egyptian treasury only is
to be called upon to make up the amount, less
one-half per cent. The sinking funds belonging
to the privileged and unified debts are to be sus-
pended The interest Egypt pays on the Suez
canal shares held by England is to be reduced
from one.half to threequarters, as advisable
England is to advance or guarantee loan of
$4,000 600 to Egypt, this loan taking precedence
of all existing, loans The proposals have also
in view a reduction of taxes in Egypt from
f3 900, 900 to "a, 900, 000

had an impression that the President had been
informed of the character Of Cook 1t was
Cooks reputation that the President had OBJ
jected to- The President was in a delicate posi-
ton, and could not take the inquiry out of the
hands of the men to whom it had been in
trusted but he would urge the employment of
men above reproach. The subject of the re-
moval of Cook was frequently referred to
by the President Gen v Boynton testified
that Immediately after Cooks employment he
asked the President if it were true that Cook
had been employed rs government eoul sci. The
President replied that lie had no acqua ntance

employment of Cook outrage upon him.

Precautions in Germany.

BERLIN, June 28.-In the Reichstag Won
Boetticher, Home Secretary, announced the
cholera committee had their first meeting to-day.
Dr. Pettenkofer and DIR. Koch were members of
the committee He said the government hopes
to be able to avert, by inspection, all danger of
the entry of the disease into the country with
out closing the frontier.
Prof. Virchow doubted if the disease at Tou-
lon was not Asiatic cholera. He blamed the
defective precautions of the French government,
and drew attention to the bad sanitary condi-
ton of the Suez canal
Won Boetticher said in reply that Prince
Hohenlohe, German ambassador to Paris had
reported that France had adopted all necessary
measures. The German government, he said,
also intended to propose international measures
for the protection of the Suez canal. General
Won Moltke thanked Won Boettieher, in the name
of the House, for his labors The session closed
with three cheers for Emperor William.

Remarks of Lord Carlingford at the Ban

LONDON, June 28-Lord Carlingford presided
at the Golden Club banquet this evening. He
made speech in which he SAID: 'When America
realized the benefit to be derived from free trade
her power and influence would increase enor-
mously." He hoped the cattle disease act. while
excluding diseased cattle, would not interfere
with the importation of healthy animals. He
believed that before the next meeting of the
club commercial treaty between England and
Mexico would be concluded. He thought such
a treaty would result in largely increased
dealings with Mexico. He thought
Golden would have approved of
England's policy of concord with

prevented war between two great and friendly
nations.
DR.. Smith, of Sioux City, Iowa, replied in be-
half of the United States to the toast, Our For
eign and Colonial Guests" He said he was a
plain man, not given to making speeches. All
he would say was that revenue reform was max
ing great progress in America, and that the
Golden Club would probably hear news of that
progress within the next six months.

counties who are not now readers of
some sound Republican paper. The
tariff question is the one issue which
is likely to be most prominently dis
eussed, and to this the journal pays especial
attention, advocating the maintenance of the
principle of protection to American industry

HEALING BY PRAYER.
Miss Hntchins, work in NorNaIl

Miss Hutchins' Work in NOrVvaIk.
 Miss M. M. Hutchins, minister's daugh- ter in Brooklyn, N. Y, who had been sick with spinal disease for twenty-three years, and was cured by faith, came to Norwalk last week to visit friends, and among others who have requested her to use her influence that they might be benefited was Miss Hattie Moore of that town. This young lady has been confined to her room more than four years, the result of fall on the ice. Her mother was also an invalid, and for five years has been in bed and not able to turn herself over Miss Hutchins visited the mother and daughter on Sunday last at their residence on Plymouth avenue and prayed with them that they might be healed. Mrs Moore began at once to feel returning strength, and the same afternoon sat up for Q few moments. On Monday she walked about the room, and on Thursday went out for a walk, which she continued to do since. Miss Moore has also proved herself to be woman of much faith, for her cure was rapid and she accompanied Miss Hutchins to the gate as she departed Both ladies assert that they are confident of complete recov cry.
 Miss Hutchins' manner of healing is simi- lar to that of the Rev. MT. Sloan, of Strat- with oil She asserts that she has been equally successful with others, but avoids publicity, and is, therefore, reticent in con versation. Norwalk people are much agi- tated, and many sick ones have since ap- piled for relief.
