AT $3.50 O'Clock Mr.. Lambert, a lib.
eral, rose TO move an address. He spoke
to empty benches, M did MIR. Beaufors,
who seconded the motion. The house
filled like magic, however, when Mr..
BalfOur arose, and, amid a storm OF
opposition cheers. began, in sneering
tone, u general criticism OF the govern.
ment In its Egyptian policy. Mr..
Balfour said the ministers could rely
upon the support OF the opposition 10
long as they upheld British rights. He
trusted that the government would
! at the earliest convenience lot Parlia-
ment know tho causes which led to the
recent troubles In Cairo. Among the
| causes, undoubtedly, were the rash
utterances made by the prime minister
and chief secretary for Ireland when
they were In opposition.
Mr.. Baliour denounced the Evioted

should cay whether or not the rolease
OF Egan aud Callan, the Irish dyna-

Mr.. Gladstone was cheered loudly
when he arose to answer Mr.. Balfour.

piled that us Lord Salisbury had done

that In his long parliamentary careor
he ever uttered words ~ rash and dan.

These words seemed to suggest that the
government would lose no time in
getting out OF Egypt.
Mr.. BalfouT arose AMI ropudiatod the
