FRANCE GETTING UNEASY
GOVERNMENT SEEKS TO RETRACE
STEPS IN EGYPTIAN AFFAIR.
u IL snfd France and Russia VIII
Convene Conference to
See AbOut 1t.

Paris. March 29.-The political world
OF FRANCE is again in highly per-
turbed condition and there are indica-
. lions going TO show that the govern
! ment seeks to retrace some OF the steps
by which 1t has been placed in the posi-
ton of impotent acauiescence in the dis
patch of an Egyptian expedition up the
Nile and the defraying OF the expenses
of 1t out of the Egyptian debt surplus.
The government will be interpolated
in the chamber Of deputies tomorrow
and the ministry will be under the ne
cessity Of making some kind of state
ment In reply. An attempt a debate is
expected, and there Is feeling in some
quarters that far-reaching changes of
policy may be announced.
The air is electric with expecta-
ton tonight, and numerous ru-
mors are current of grave
things that are in contemplation
Among those which are circumstantial-
ly formulated are that the resignation
OF Nj. Berthelot as minister of foreign
affairs announced yesterday, was due
to the wish of NJ. Borgeois, the premier,
to recall Baron De Courcal, the French
ambassador in London; that Frances
naval reserve squadron has been or
dered placed upon a war footing, and
that France and Russia will convene a
European conference to discuss the
powers of the Egyptian debt commits
sion to act against the vote of a mi
nority of the powers guaranteeing the
debt and to discuss also the evacuation
of Egypt.
How far the French assembly will re-
assume the attitude of protest against
the Nile expedition adopted in M Ber-
thelots report of his communication to
Lord Dufferin is the question of first in
terest in Paris tonight.
RUSSIA SUSTAINS FRANCE.
st. Petersburg. March 29.-The Rus
sian newspapers are unanimous in OPP
posing Englan6's claim to employ the
reserve of the Egyptian debt to pay
the expenses of the Soudan expedition
This is necessarily an accurate reflec-
ton of the views of the government,
whose understanding with France on
all parts of the Egyptian question is
most complete. Both governments are
now seriously considering the adoption
of common political attitude in order
to formally establish their opposition
to prolonged occupation of Egypt.
