R1hnt Internellated

PARIS, Oct. 26.-Replying to interpella'
tions by Deloncle and Delaffose to day,
Foreign Minister Ribot stated Morocco had
bean informed France would not tolerate
any interference at Touat. AS regards
Egypt, France had not abandoned any OF
her former rights and recent events were
tending to increase French influence there.
TIE Impeachment between Russia and
France, ne said, astonished nobody; 1t was
simply in consequence of old sympathles
and community of interests and formed a
fresh guarantees Of peace.
Req srding the troubles which accom-
panles the French religious pilgrimage TO
Rome, he said that the agitation provoked
IN Italy by those incidents was altogether
out of proportion to any offense the Pill
grims committed. The incidents having an
international bearing, the government Ielt
bound to issue circular to bishops TO stop
these pilgrimages, and the Pope himself
had declared the government was justified.
Besides the government had not hidden
from Italy it's displeasure that any pilgrim
manifesto had been followed by attacks
against France, whereupon Italy expressed
regrets.
Finally the chamber proceeded to the
discussion of the foreign estimates. Hub.
baed Immediately brought forward pro
position TO suppress the embassy at the
Vatican on the ground that it was useless
and fostered the idea in Italy that France
admitted the possibility of the Pope's ulti-
mately retaking Rome.
Rlbot made vigorous speech, combatteo
the proposal and refuted the reasons which
Hubbard advanced. The proposal was
thrown out amid cheers, 2S4 against 210.
