Lord Salisbury scored point in the
diplomatic contest with France and
Russia over the firman of investiture Of
the khedive of Egypt. When the sui
tan's envoy. Eyoub Pasha, arrived at
Cairo, the British minister, Sir Evelyn
Barring, suspecting some duplicity, asked
for copy of the document, and when
Eyoub Pasha refused to communicate
the contents of the frman until after
the lnvestiture, Minister Barring ad-
vised the khedive not to proceed with
the ceremony. Eyoub Pasha then dis
closed the substance of the frman, the
nature of which had been known and
approved by France and Russia
before the missive left Con-
stantinople. The Italian squadron
which was about to leave Alexandria,
got orders to stay, and the officers on
leave were recalled to the ships yester-
day. The British and Italian ambassa-
dors at Constantinople sent joint note
to the grand vizier, saying that the
frman must be altered or Eyoub Pasha
recalled. There seems to be no mistak-
ing the emphatic character of the note,
and the immediate result was telegram
received by the khedive from the sultan
today saying the frman would be modi.
fed. Tonight's Cairo dispatches state
that the settlement has excited the
greatest satisfaction there. The foreign
Office is reticent, except to confirm the
statement that the difficulty is on the
point of solution, although the day for
the investiture has not been fixed.
ULsTER's FIGHT AGAINST HOME RULE.
The meeting in Belfast of the Ulster
defense committee arranged for con-
vention and went degree beyond the
recent Ulster commoners' gathering in
the violence of its TRADES and resolu-
tions. They recorded listers deter
mination to have nothing to do with the
Dublin parliament, which is certain to
be controlled by men who are RESPONSE
BILE for the crimes of the league and
cruelties and boycotting, and who are
the mere tools for clerical domination.
The attempt to set up such PAL lament
will inevitably result in disorder, vio-
lence and bloodshed to an extent un-
known in Ireland for a century.
Mayor Saunderson denied that the
British parliament had any right to
hand them over to another legislature
which they would never obey, and the
sentiment was received with cheering.
7. w. Russell predicted ten-fold in
crease of trouble in Ireland in the event
of Dublin parliament. Finally an
executive committee was appointed.
Over 100 non conformist Irish ministers
have agreed to stump Great Britain and
arouse religious animus. The Irish
Unionists in the house of commons
affirm that, although the policy of resis-
tance to the Dublin parliament is.
limited to the refusal to pay taxes,
active armed opposition from the Or
angemen is inevitable. The home
rulers in the house consider it the best
policy to minimize the Importance of
the movement by so far as possible ig-
noring it until it becomes more fully de-
veloped, when vigorous measures may
be taken to counteract it.
ENGLISH POLITICS, ETC.
The labor candidates who refuse obe-
dience to the Liberal electoral executive
committee are everywhere disappear
ing. The executive committee has ap-
proved twenty labor candidates, most OF
whom are certain of election. The pay
ment of the labor men elected will be
secured partly by general and partly by
local funds. The beggarliness of tile
public and trades unions contributions
paralyzes the independent labor men.
Gladstone has promised to support
the Scotch local option bill and the gov
ernment has decided to remain neutral.
Out of 295 English boroughs, forty
four elected teetotal mayors.
A great cotton spinners' lockout will
begin on the 18th instant. There is no
sign of the employers giving way. Most
of the mills are heavily stocked, ana 8
stoppage will be advantageous to them.

Mrs. Maybrick, who is recovering from
an attack of influenza, and who is still
very weak. She receives every consid-
