W. w. Scott, secretary Of the state
Democratic committee, said that although
returns We're very meagre, the indications
are that Cleveland and the Democratic

gain at least two if not three members
of Congress. This would put Democrats
in the place Of Browne of the Sixth dis

GREAT BRITAIN'S AFRICAN POLICY,
DENOUNCED BY MR. MORLEY AND DEFENDED
BY SIR JAMES FERGUSON.

BY SIR JAMES PERCUSSION.
London, Dec 1.-The House Of Commons went in'o
committee Of supply this afternoon on the vote Oh
236,260 pounds for embassies and missions abroad.
John Morley moved a nominal reduction, In order
to raise discussion on the proposal to SEND Brsn

TO advise the Egyptian Government 10 abandon inc
situation, England ought to make more serious
attempt to suppress tho slave trade and Introduce
civilizing forces into the soudan.
Sir James Ferguson. Parliamentary Secretary 10
the Foreign Office replied that the present Govern
ment was not responsible for the waste of treasure and
blood in tho soudan The advice sent 10 the Egyptian
Government was to maintain a purely defensive
policy with as small force possible. and to
devote its funds 10 the internal development Of the
country But a defensive policy did not imply the
surrender of Suakm, which would leave the country
ovcrrun with Arabs In the surrender Of suakim the
only station would be given up from which ships
could operate on the Red Sea coast for the supprs-
sion OF the slave trade. Surely, said Sir James, Mr.
Morley did not seriously suggest the absolute abandon
ment Of Suaklm.
