HOPES OF A SETTLEMENT.
The departure of the French charge
d'afaires has been postponed twenty-four
hours, and there are now great hopes en-
tertained that in the meantime an amicable
settlement will be reached of the differences
growing out of the seizure by the Egyptian
government of the French newspaper Bos-
phore Egyptien. The negotiations now in
progress are being conducted through the
government diplomatic agent.
MORE ASSURANCES.
Nubar Pasha, the Egyptian prime min
ister, has renewed his assurances to France
of Egypt's desire for an amicable settle
ment of the Bosphore Egyptien difficulty.

ordered to remain in Egypt, pending the re-
ceipt of further instructions.

500 wires-the time required to make con-
nection will average only three seconds. In
majority of cases, the cause of delay is
several calls at once, when, as matter OF
course each has to take his turn. Another
frequent reason is the slowness of subscrib-
ers in answering a call, thus compelling
some one to wait.

the telephone was an individual called Old
