his Government had instructed him to say
that it considered all replies made to its de
mands for the rehabilitation of the Bos
phore Egyptien not only unsatisfactory, but
impertnent and that he had been directed
to sever official relations with Egypt. NJ
Barrere further stated that his Government
had also instructed him to announce that
because Of the arbitrary action OF the Egyp.
tan Government in refusing to satisfactorily
explain its action in suppressing the Bos-
phore Egyptien or making any reparation
therefor France would not sanction tn con-

uniavorable effect on Egyptian securities.

What Will England Do?
The news has caused considerable en-
citement in London, and there is much
speculation as to how the Ministry will act
in this new difficulty. Mr.. Gladstone's re-
marks in Parliament few days ago re-
garding this affair, in which he said
England was partly responsible, are not
forgotten.
France Looking Out for Herself.
The developments to-day in the French
difficulty with Egypt are Of a nature to an.
tlcipate serious results. The departure Of
the French Minister from Cairo, contrasted
with the Anglo.Russian negotiations, exhibit
well French lack of caution in bringing the
troubles to a head. England and Russia
are still conducting their correspondence
through their Ministers, and when they are
rt called the crisis will be at hand. France
may have in her present bellicose attitude
toward Egypt, her eye on the Suez Canal
and consider her chances good, in the event
f war between England and Russia. A
late issue of the London Times just at hand
gives in kilograms from Cairo the details OF
The seizure of the Bosphore Egytieu, which
has I'D to the present serious complications
The Times says:
The Seizure of the "Bosphore."
The Bosphore Of the Sthinst. announced
in loaded type that negotiations are active
" progressing for the evacuation Of the
SOudan by the English, who will be replaced
BY an army Of another European power. II
may be hoped that this will be the last OF
similar announcements, for the government
has at last decided to execute its decree o
last year, and seals are now being placed on
he Office of the Bosphore. Tue evils pro
duced by the years delay can hardly
be exag ggerated, but in the face Of
even tardy repentance it is charlta-
bic to be silent. The decree Of sup.
preston of the Bosphore cites the previous
decree, continued misrepresentation since,
and publication in Arabic without license.
lhe suppression was executed with excel
'ent Judgment by Captain Fenwick, com
mandant Of the Cairo Native Police. A
large crowd had gathered, and on his arri
val Captain Fenwick was met by the Chan
cellor OF the French Consulate, whose assist
ance Captain Fenwick politely asked. On
repeated refusal Captain Fenwick expressed
his re gret he would be compelled to effect al
entry by breaking the doors, and again ap
pealed to the Consulate to assist him to
carry out the decree of the Egyptian Gov
ernment without force.
Breaking in the Doors.
The Chancellor replied that he was there
10 oppose the execution meme par la force
Captain Fenwick always continuing his
conversation, quietly but audibly ordered
the police to load. Informing the Chancel-
Ter that he accepted his protest and would
consider that he had already made.a legal
demonstration Of resistance, Captain Fen
wick proceeded to break open the doors
Some Frenchmen assaulted carpenter, but
were promptly warned by Captain Fenwick
20 desist. He then entered and requested
he proprietor Of the establishment to dis,
miss The employees from the premises. This
he refused to do, bat being persuaded BY
gocG humored badinage to avoid any further
necessity for a disylay OF force, consented,
and seals were placed on the doors, which
were guarded by strong force Of police.
Great excitement prevailed, and the small
est error Of judgement would have resulted
in a re. retable disturbance, but nothing
could exceed the perfect polteness and
self possession Of the young officer. The
military police were at his disposal but be
declined to avail himsel Of their services.
4 strange Apology.
