The Egyptian Conference.

PARIS, May 80. Minister Ferry in
formed the Deputies to-day that the state
of negotiations with England concerning
the Egyptian conference prevented him
making any statement in regard to this
matter.
The Gdulois says Waddington informed
Granville that Europe regrets that Eng
land abandoned the Soudan, especially
Khartoum, which France desired to have
retained.
LONDON. May 29-The Pail Mall Gazette
declares that Granville's request to Tur-
key to send $4,000 troops to the Soudan
is far more serious than the scheme OF
multiple control. The Ministers knew
what Granville was doing when he pro-
posed the surrender to France but they
stood aghast when they heard the pro-
posal to Turkey to send troops. Turkey
Tuesday signified her acceptance OF this
proposition, but it is not clear now that
the Cabinet can repudiate Turkeys ac-
ceptance without insisting upon Gran
ville's resignation. The same paper says
the Egyptian conference will meet June
I'D, and before that time the question OF
multiple control and limit of English oc-
cupation concluded between Waddington
and Granville will have been agreed to by
other mowers

HEAVY DEFALCATION.
Governments Clerk Who Speculated
With EeYiS.


WASHINGTON, May 29.-Col. j. O. T.
Burnside, disbursing clerk in the Post
Office Department, was removed on the
charge Of having embezzled $4,000. A
warrant is out for his arrest. He specu-
lated with Lewis, the missing oil broker.
Some days since Postmaster-G General
Gresham learned that Burnside was
specializing and called upon him for an
explanation, which was plausible but not
satisfactory. and Gen. Gresham imme-
diatelv ordered an investigation, which
developed deficiency of $4,000. Burn
side was dismissed and arrested. At the
preliminary trial he was held in $4,000
bail and given until 10 o'clock tonight to
furnish it. At that hour he is to appear
before Judge Smell with the necessary
amount, and failing to produce it will be
sent to jail. His bondsmen are good
for the amount embezzled. The accounts
of Burnside were audited at the Treasury
Department, and postoffice officials say
the shortage should have been discovered
before Burnside told the experts who were
directed by Postmaster-General Gresham
to examine his accounts. There were
credits due him which would considerably
reduce the deficiency.
Burnside was unable to find bail to-
night, but was allowei TO go to his own
house in charge of dep -ty-marshal. He
will appear In court again tomorrow.

Dramatic nfnner.

LONDON, May 29.-The annual dinner
for the benefit of the general, theatrical
fund was held this evening Henry Irving
presided. Ellen Terry was present. Irving
replying to toast to his health, proposed
by Toole, said the hopes with which
his American tour was begun had
been more than realized. He trusted
the unbounded favor accorded the
English company by Americans would be
monumental in the history of the Ameri
can stage During the course of his re-
marks he said: 81 cannot express my
gratitude for the generosity and kindliness
Of the Americans. They did all possible
to make is feel that America was
home and not a land of strangers
They worshiped at the shrine of the
fair lady who graces the banquet to-
night. Above all, we brought from Amer
lea the most profound impressions of the
love of Americans toward the mother
country. The new friends we made in
America will doubtless cordially greet uf
when we revisit their shores"
