LONDON. April S.-Lord Salisbury has
scored in the diplomatic contest with France
and Russia over the firnAn of investiture of
the Kheiive Of Egypt. The position has
for a week past harassed aud perplexed the
foreign office perhaps more than even the
Bering sea question ever did. The sultan
stole march upon English diplomacy III
sending the lrman 50 phrased as to exclude
from the Egyptian frontier the
whole Sinai peninsular and part of
the Red sea littoral, which were
ceded to Ismail Pasha and has been
held by Egypt for half a century. Before
the firman was drafted the English ambas-
sador ct Constantinople, alive TO the possipi-
lty OF some action Of this sort, demanded
that the document should not introduce any
question concerning the frontier and re-
ceived assurance that the firman would not
touch the khedive's rights.
THE SUSPICION CONFIRMED.
When the sultan's envoy, Evyub Pasha,
arrived Nt Cairo, the British minister, Sir
Evelyn Barring, suspectng some dupllcity
asked for a copy of the document and when
Evyub Pasha refused to communicate the
contents of the firman till after the investi-
ture Minister Barring advised the khedive

Pasha then disclosed the substance Of tue
drman, the nature of which had beon known
to and approved bv France aud Russia
before the missive left Constantinople. The
cousuls general at Cairo at once ranged
themselves on two sides, the italian aud
Austrian Representatives meeting at the
| English embassy, and the French and Rus
sian diplomats at the residence OF the Tur-
kish plenipotentiary. The italian squadron
which was about to leave Alexandria, got
| orders to stay, and officers on leave were
recalled to their ships, including the ad-
! miral, who was junketing at Cairo.
A PEREMPToRY DEMAND.
Yesterday the British and Italian ambas-
sador5 at COnstantinople sent joint note TO
the graud vizier saying that the firman
must be altered or Eyoub Pasha recalled.
There seems to have been no mistaking the
emphatic and peremptory character Of the
nObtt hLlNl LnbIe as bu lLllulbuldJo iboulUs n
| telegram was received by the khedive from
the sultan to-day saying that the frman
would be modified emitting the definition of
| the frontier. 1t transpires that Eyoub Pasha
| had two documents of investiture, on o
Blcing off portion Of Egypt and the other
cousonant with Lord Sslisbury's views
| To-night's Cairo dispatches state that the
| settlement has excited the greatest satisfac-
| tion there. The foreign Office authorities
are reticent, except that they confirm the
statement that the difficulty is on the point
of solution, although the day for the in
vestiture Of the khedive IS not fixed.
ULsTER's DEFENSE COMMITTEE.
The meeting In Belfast OF the Ulster de-
| fense committee, the mayor presiding, TO
arrange for convention, went a degree
| beyond the recent Ulster oommouers'
| gathering in the violence of their TRADES
| The pretense OF secrecy Of the proceedings
enabled the speakers to indulge in warlike
| trumpetiugs and the resolutions recorded
| Ulstar's determination 20 have nothing to
do with the Dublin parliament. which Is
are responsible for the crimes of
| the league cruelties and boy
| cotting, and who are mere tools
| Of clerical domination, and au attempt to
set up such party will inevitably result in
| disorder, violence and bloodsbed to an ex-
| tent that has been unknown In Ireland for
| q century Mai. Saunderson denied that
| the British parliament had any right to
| hand them over 10 another legislature which
| they would never obey, and the senti-
ment was received with frantic cheer
ing. T. w. Russell predicted q tenfold
increase of troubles in Ireland under a
| Dublin parliament Finally general aud
| executive committees were appointed.

GosCHEN's BUDGET.
Mr.. Goschen. chancellor Of the excheauer.
will produce his annual budget in the House
of Commons Monday. Before the House
adiourns on Tuesday for the Easter recess
the only government bill nearing au end
will DO the small holdings bill-being the

The labor candidates. who refuse obedience
TO the liberal electoral executive, are every
whore disappearing, SchenadhOrsts agents
having succeeded in inducing the district
commissions to GUST the independents. The
executive has approved 200 labor candidates,
most of whom are certain OF election. The
payment of labor men elected is secured
partly by general and partly by local funds.
The beggarLness Of the public and trades
unions cOntr buttons paralyze the independ-
ent labor men. The John Burns fund Is in
a starved condition. 1t gets only e1 weekly,
and the Dockers Union, acting as secretary
for the fund. vainly appeals to the public
for another 2l.
LOCAL OPTION FOR SCOTLAND.
Mr.. Gladstone has promised to vote in
support OF the Scottish local veto bill and
the government have decided TO remain
neutral. The passage Of the measure, which
afftrms the local option principle, would be
a triumph for the teetotalers. Its practical
application till new parliament is elected
would be impossible. Out Of 295 English
boro1ghs Al have elected teetotal mayors,
and this result was duly celebrated in Man
chester. Speeches then made pointed TO the
municipal authorities using concerted infu-
ence with the county councils against the
liquor trade.
