The SOudan Policy.
Lord Harrington, Secretary of War, stated
that decision had been reached by the
Government in regard to the Soudan,
which involved the abandonment of the ad-
vance on Khartoum. The Government had
resolved to make Wadyhalfa the most adj
vanced position Of the permanent defense
of Egypt. The British troops would be
withdrawn as soon as the Nile rose. The
withdrawal of the troops involved the
abandonment of the advance to Khartoum.
Efforts will be made to establish an admin
istration in the province Of DOngOla, and
to complete the Nile Railway as a CONNER
cial enterprise. General Lord Wolseley had
advised the Government to retire to As
souan from the Soudau, and he attacked
great Importance to the sending of armed
boats to Egypt to be used in patTolling the
Nile. The Government has no intention,
of evacuating Suakin, until some arrange
ments can be effected for holding it against
hostile Arabs, either by England or some
other civilized nation. At present Suakin
could not be held without a tight. Osman
Digna, Ell Mahdis chief lieutenant for many
months past, has been besieging the place,
and has frequently declared himself deter
mined upon driving the garrison into the
Red sea. Therefore, .the holding of Suakin
was a military, not political question.
The Opposition Attack
Was led by Lord George Francis Hanil-
ton, member from Middlesex. He is being
pushed forward by the Tories as their
leader in the Commons. He was Under
Secretary for India from 1874 TO 1878 and
spoke with some degree Of authority, He
moved consideration of the amendment,
given notice of by Sir Stafford Northcote.
This amendment Is on the second reading
of the Consolidated Fund bill for fresh
vote of censure against the Government
and concludes as follows:
The House having shown their readiness
to vote supplies, refuse their assent until
informed of the present policy and purpose
for which the money to be granted is to Be
applied.
