Plumb went on to speak Of tho silver
bill In connection with the question. OF
protection. The senate was appealed 10
yesterday by the scnatoriro New York
(lliscock) against tho bill In the sacred
name OF protection. silver was an
American product, u much larger prod
uct than muny Others that were to bo
protected by duties of 200 or 800 per cent.
under the tariff bill. lie would like to
ask the senator from Now York, who
was SO anxious about foreign commerce,
VIII at he intended o do with the tariff
bill, which would irovent the United
merce. lie hoped he might inter
pret the senator's remarks on
that point as hopeful
augury OF the action OF that senator IN
putting his knife into the bill now be-
fore the finance committee, n bill which
would raise the price Of nearly every
thing used by the masses of the people.
The silver bill was then laid aside.

IlshInr Thomlelxns

PANS, June io.--In the chamber o
deputies to-day, Ribot, minister of for
eign affairs, read Frances note to Egypt.
France contends that the time has
arrived when England, in accordance
with tho many declarations and self
congratulations Of her ministers. and for
tho prosperity and security of Egypt,
ought to evacuato the country, The
note expresses surprise that tho powers
do not agree in recognizing that
tho profits of conversion ought
to be applied to increasing the
Egyptian military forces, in order to
enable her TO dispense with British
troops. Believing, however, that ali
parties interested arc disposed to give
the subject frank consideration, France
assents to tho conversion scheme, re.
serving tho question of evacuation for
future negotiations.
NJ. Ribot declared that France desired
cordial relations with England, but
