Egyptian policy, was disposed of. Mr.
Redmond, Home Ruler, opposed the Pre-
mier's motion and was seconded in his
opposition by several Parnellites.
The opposition became 50 noisy that
the Speaker interfered, and when silence

in prolonged howl and derisive cheers

AN AGGRESSIVE FOREIGN POLICY.
In the House of Commons tonight Mr..
Treyelyan said he thought the govern
ment was justified in adopting vigorous
offensive policy after the fall of Khar-
toum. Negotiations with the Mahdi were
only possible while the government is
fighting him.
Rt. Hon. Edward Gibson, member for
Dublin University, thought Mr.. TreVel-
yan's statement indicated that at no very
remote future the Mahdi would become
an element in the settlement of the SOudan
question. Mr.. Gibson violently attacked
the government and accused the Ministry
life of the hero Gordon. Their policy an
peared to be one Of going to Khartoum to
please the Wings and running away to
please the Radicals. The House required
definite statement to assure the country
that the governments policy was not one
of useless expense or wanton bloodshed.
Opposition cheers.
MIR. G0schen said 1t was necessary for
the government to clearly define its policy
affecting the grave military operations
and important political questions at issue.
lie wanted to know what Yehmi Pasha,
the special Turkish envoy, was endeavor-
ing 10 negotiate, and the purpOrt of the
mission OF Hassan Bey, and if the treaty
with Italy provided assistance to the
British iii the Egyptian troubles.
REVULSION OF FEELING.
The Conservative leaders are endeayOr-
ing TO persuade the Duke OF Argyle and
the Rt. Hon. George j. GOschen and other
moderate Liberals to form a coalition
upon the basis of an energetic foreign
policy and resistance to the radical at
tacks upon property. Mr.. Gladstone's
statement that he had never intended
the abandonment of the SOudan by Her
MaJesty's forces after the capture of
hhartoum has led to a reVusion of feel
ing among the peace Radicals and Wings,
and neither side is able to forecast the
result of the division.
The Marquis of Salisbury was ferVentlv
cheered upon declaring at the meeting at
the Carlton Club this afternoon that he
was confident of the defeat of the govern
ment. He said he was ready to assume
the responsibilities of the office
