publishes despatch from Paris stating
that the decision, of the British govern
ment to take part in the Soudan expedi-
ton caused great surprise. The painful
impression in government ci roles has
been intensified by the decision as it
was hoped that recent efforts to remove
the causes of friction between France
and Great Britain would lead to friend
IL relations between the two powers. The
present decision is ikoly to embitter
the French against the British. The al

Vowed with sceptioism. A semi-official

lusion it contained to the serious conse-
quences of the step taken by the British
government. The attitude that will u1-
timately be taken by this government is
not now known. A majority of the men,
bers of tire chamber of deputies consider
it to be out of the question to push
matters to extremes.

The responsibility of floating the re-
funding loan now rests with the Hon.
P. c. Jones, the agreement between the
Government and Mr. Jones having
been signed, sealed and delivered Fri
day prior to the departure of the Bel
gic.
The bonds which Mr. Jones has to
look after amount to S3,330,000 BY the
Refunding Act passed by the Legisla-
ture, discount of five per cent and a
commission of two per cent is allowed,
and according to the agreement made
with the Executive, Mr.. Jones is given
until November 1, 1896, to consum-
mate the deal.
In speaking of the matter last even
ing Mr.. Jones said there was very lit
tie to be said outside the statement that
he had made the necessary agreement
with the Executive to float the loan,
He learned shortly after his arrival
that he would be given the first option
and since that time he has been de-
voting his attention to preparing the
details of the agreement with the Elk.
ecutive Council. When asked whether
American or English capital would be
sought, Mr.. Jones said:
81 shall make the supreme effort o.
my life to float those bonds in thu
United States, and l think can do it
although l do not care to make an!
rash statements at this time"
Mr.. Jones will leave for the United
States by the next Australia at the lat
est, unless private business matter
require his attention here for longe
time. He will probably proceed at one
to New York and place the excellen
financial goods which he now has a
his disposal before the capitalists Their
