LONDON, April 8.-Lord Salisbury SCORED
IN the diplomAtio contest with France and
Russia over the frman Of invastiture OF th,
khedive Of Egypt. When the sultan's en-.
voy, Eyeub Pasha, arrived at Cairo, th.
British minister, Sir Evelyn Barring, sus.
pscting something Of duplicity, asked for
copy OF the document. and when Eyout
Pasha refused to commn aieate the contents
Of the tirman until after the investiture
Minister Barring advised the khedive not Il
proceed with the ceremony. Eyeub Pasha
then disclosed the substance of the frman
the nature Of which had been known and
approved BY France and Russin before The
m1sslvs loft Constantinople. The Italian
squadron, which was about to leave Alexan-
dria, got orders TO stay, and officers On
leave were recalled to the ships. Yesterday

Constantinople Gent joint note to the
grand vizier saying the frman must DO

seems to have been no mistAking the en-
phatic and peremptory character Of the
note, and there was an Immediate result.
telegram was received by the khodivo
from the sultan to-day saying the frman
would be modified, emitting the definition
Of the frontier. To-night's Cairo dispatches
state that the settlement excited the great
est satisfaction there. The foreign office il
reticent, except to confirm the statement
that the difficulty is on the point Of solu-
tion, although this day for the invsstiture
is not fixed. =
A meeting in Belfast Of the Ulster de-
tense committee to arrange for cenven-
tion went degree beyond the recent us
ter commoners' gathering. In violence OF
TRADES and resolutions it recorded Ulster's
determination to have nothing to do with
the Dublin parliament, which is certain to
be controlled BY mon who are responsible
for the Grimes Of the league and cruelties
and boycottinR, and who ars mere tools Of
clerical domination. The attempt to set
up such parliament will inevitably re-
suit ia disorder, violence and bloodshed to
an extent unknown in Ireland for cen
tury. Mayor SAunderson denied that the
British parliament had any right TO
hdnd them over to another legislature,
which they would never obey, and this
sentiment was received with cheering.
II. w. Russell predicted tonfold in.

danger and the Importance of tho agitation
is growing. Over loo nom n-conformist Irish
ministers agreed to stump Great Britain to
arouse religious Animua. Irish unionists in
the house Of commons say that though the
policy Of resistance TO the Dublin parlia-
mont be limited to refusal to pay taxes,
active armed opposition from Oranpemeu
is inevitable. The home rulers in tho
house consider it the best policy to min

comes moro fully developed, when vigorous
measures may be taken to counteract it.
Labor candidates who refuse obedience
to the liberal electoral executive everywhere
are disappearing. The executive approved
twenty labor candidates., most of whom are
certain of election. The payment of labor
