JOHN BULL CALLED DOWN.
Nj. Hanotaux, Minister for Fcre;..,
Affairs, Replies to Grcy,s
Declaration.

PARIS, April Sin the senate TODAY
NJ. HanotauX, minister of foreign af-
fairs, replied to the statements made In
the house of commons March % iby
Sir Edward Grey, parliamentary sec
rotary of the British foreign office. in
regard to the Anglo-French situation
IN Africa, WHICH statements were called
forth by the complaint of the British
Royal Niger company that two French
expeditions We're trespassing on the
territory in the Upper Nile valley that
is under British protection. NJ. Hano-
taux said that France opposed the con-
tention of the Niger company that it
has the right to monopolize commerce
in and to prohibit transit in it's entire
territory. In regard to the Upper Nile
valley, France maintains that the khe-
dive of Egypt is the legitimate master
OF the regions, and she therefore de-
mands from Great Britain an explana-
ton of what territory she claims
france wants to know where Egyptian
influence ends and British influence
commences. Great Britain's claims on
TINS point are most vague. France has
been unable to obtain an explanation
and when the inquiries were pressed
Great Britain had broken off the nego-
uations. There could not, however, be
a question of aggressive action or per-
emptory orders when so many complex
problems were involved, of which so
many diverse solutions might be useful
ly considered.
M. Hanotaux added: Nobody can
wish to hamper the initiative of the
brave explorers of these countries, but
when the time comes to decide the uiti-
mate destiny of these regions we be-
heve that the rights of the sultan of
Turkey and the khedive of Egypt
should be respected, and that there
should be reserved to each what be-
longs to him according to his works.
The two great nations, France and
Great Britain, will find means to recon-
Gle their interests and satisfy their
common aspirations towards civiliza-
ton and progress
