would obey the Speakers orders, and with

stitucnces against the injustice done him,

| Sir Michael-Hicks Beach, in reply to Mr..
| Iabouchere, said no communication had
been received from Russia with regard to
the reported utterance of Sir Randolph

LONDON, July 6th.-In the House OF
statement to the effect that he would con
tinuc the policy adopted by Gladstone in
regard to negotiations with Russia for the
settlement of the frontier of AfghaniStan.
| Salisbury, in moving an adjournment OF
| the House said it would be convenient TO
| explain the condition of one or two impor-
| tant questions which greatly affect the for
egn affairs and position of England. A
matter Of the grayeSt Importance was the
recent negotiation with Russia in regard to
| the frontier of Afghanistan. The business
I OF the Government was not to consider or
comment on the past. 1t was their bust
ness to take up the policy of their prede-
| cessOrs and conduct it to an issue consistent
with public interest, but it was not their
| business to enter into any controversy re-
garding that policy. 1t must be observed
| that there were very clear restrictions upon
the action Of the present Government, arts
| ing from the fact that they had assumed
office at q time when certain matters were
drawing near an end, the result being
that many pledges were given, and
| the first duty Of any Government was
| to see that the pledges which an English
Government had given should be observed.
| Continuing, he said, that as far as he had
any opportunity Of judging, the negotia-
| tons between Russia and England had
| been conducted with an earnest desire to
| arrive at an adequate conclusion, but he
was bound to say that the negotiations had
not gone far enough to enable him to
speak positively. He must ask their Lord
ships not to attach toe much importance to
| these negotiations as final and conclusive,
| even when concluded. as the whole condi-
| ton Of affairs in Central Asia was very I'M
satisfactory and uncertain. I'VE hope, he

which England had promised the Amer

had been promised must be kept. whatever
settlement might be arrived at. 1t was our
duty 70 skiilfully devise and vigorously
carry out measures for the defense of the
Indian frontier. Furthermore, we-should
stretch out beyond, 50 that when the tide
of war comes, il will not come near our
provinces. These preparations must be
promptly and theoretically made, and
trust that this policy Will never be aban-
doncd.'
In concluding his speech, Lord Salisbury
said " The present difficulty in Egypt is
perhaps one of the most complicated
problems that has ever been submitted to
the Government. The difficulties are
enormous, and of many kinds. These diff
iicultieS now form tho subject of negOtia-
tons 1t is, perhaps, rather too early to
express an opinion as 10 the issue. Before
deciding upon any remedy the Government
must take counsel OF those best qualified by
experience TO guide them. Their policy
should be steady, and without oscillation
One of the most Tomentous issues was
the defense OF the frontier of Egypt by
the Egyptians, assisted, no doubt,
in some measure by ourselves.
against the great tide of fanaticism
and barbarism. 1t is necessary to establish
such a state OF things that, if We eventually
withdraw our protecting hand, Egypt
would be left safe All of these questions
require time to settle One principle must
animate us, namely: to so weigh our steps
that once taken we must not retrace them.
The military difficulty is large one,
but the political difficulty is greater
one. Still the question was whether
the provinces in the Soudan, which
had lately ceased to be practically I'M
der the control Of Egypt should be
abandoned TO their fate. The most i'm
purtant OF the Egyptian questions, how
ever, was the financial question, which was
rs yet unsettled. Until this question was
settled, nothing could be done There was
no alternative between taking a steady,
cautious and clrcUlnsnect policy. and tax.
ing a course which would cover England
with shame, namely, to abandon Egypt 10
her fate
The Marquis of Salisbury then referred 10
the domestic policy OF his Government He
said it was intended to avoid contentious
legislation, and to promote only such
measures rs were necessary. These would
include, perhaps, the Secretary for Scotland
bill. He would wind up the session at the
earliest date possible, and expressed the
| hope that the general elections would be
held on November nth.

of Ireland. gives statistics of.crime in Ire

! decrease since the passage OF the Crimes
! Act. The Government, he said, under ex-
/ isting circumstances, consider il inadyisa-
| BILE to renew the Act. They trusted that a
| firm administration of the ordinary law
would maintain tranquility.
Lord SaliSbury's statement lasted half
an hour. He frequently emphasized the
fact that tine Khcdiyc had throughout been
