opportune. His colleagues were away. long
time had elapsed since the matter had been dis

over till October Growls may be heard from
Paris. whence this new intrigue took its rise,
but prowls do not deter Lord Salisbury from spend

French diplomacy is baffied for the present and
that ingenious scheme for putting French pup

England out of Egypt, has to be deferred for
little while
Semi-oficial denias touching the German En-

by semi-offcial assurances that, though there was
an accident il was not serious. 1t is at any rate

current lately that the Emperor really quilted
this country in a discontented mood. He had
hoped Ia conclude hard-and-fast alliance with

The Emperor, like Napoleon, thought that the
English Constitution should give way to his
Imperial wishes, but did not induce Lord Sails
bury to undertake that experiment. 1t is as
good story as another.

In accordance with the decision Of the Vicerov
