of taking money from any country but
England, am, and when they talks of fixing
revenue for tariff only on cofiee and suger,

Paris, Sunday Evening, LIST. June.
The opinion thai has prevailed in the
best informed circles in Paris during the
past few days is that the Conference will
not take place at all. The French Govern
ment, emboldened by the vacillation, in
consistency, and subServiency of the Bri-
fish Ministry, has imposed conditions
which it Is assumed that even MI. Glad
stone will not dare to defend before the
House Of Commons. The French officials
may Of course again be mistaken, and Mr..
Gladstone may assent to such conditions
as will eftectually do away with or pre-
ponderance in Egypt, and d stroy all the
poor results of Il considerable expenditure
of English gold and of an idle sacrifice of
English, Egyptian, and Arab blood. But
the French, wise in their generation, are
resolved to get all the profit they can out
of England's bIunderS. Ii they give their
help to the smoothing of any difficulties
that lie in the path Of Great Britain, they
intend to exact payment for their aid. If
the negotiations come to nothing they are
confident (they say that SO long as MIR.
Gladstone remains in power things in
Egypt will go from bad 10 worse, and the
country will eventually fall into the hands
of the Power that knows how to wait.

Russian Occupation of Sarakhs.
From the Daily Telegraph

Berlin June / According to in
telligence from St. Petersburg, the
Earkas, the official journal Of the
Caucasus, in an article ON the Sara~hs
question, says: "Russia is bound by
the Gulistan treaty to protect Persia
on her North Eastern florrier against
Turcoman raids. In exchange for this
engagement, Russia received the IS
land Of Aschur, near Aslerabad. The
sea boundary having proved INSULT
cient Il afford the promised protection,
Russia wa compelled to advance fur
ther into the interior, and IN SO doing
she was led by force of circumstances
to Merv. Notwithstanding the pre-
scnce of a Persian garrison at Sarakhs,
which is 100 vers9s beyond the fur
theSt domiDions Of Persia, the raids of
theMery people into Persia had hither.
10 continued. The Russian Govern,
ment has therefore become convinced
of the necessity Of maintaining a per
manent garrison in SarakhS, IN order,
on the one hand, to put a stop to these
raids, and on the other to have at
Sarakhs a strong post of observation
towards Afghanisian, the latter hav-
ing, as a reply to the advance of Rus
STA in Central Asia, brought under its
subsection the semi-nomadic and indie
pendent tribes Of the Dshenshides,
HasSars, and others who were at war
with the Merv people, and is now en-
deavouring to subject the last tribe of
Mongols on the same river Murgave,
in the low countries of which the Merv
oasis is situated. In view of this con-
centration of considerable Afghan
forces on her frontier Russia is com
PEELED to adopt a firm, clear stand
point with regard to her neighbour,
of course, above all, in the sense If
maintaining commercial intercourse
unimpaired.
