roxpoS. Oct. 3l.-The impression prevails
that the anal decision of the powers respecting
m. best means OF dealing with the Sultan will
be taken in time to enable Lord Salisbury to
make An announcement on the subject at the
Lord Mayors banquet on Nov. 0, and not before
unless. indeed, NJ. Hanotaux should let the &C.
cret out next week in the Chamber In reply to
various interpretations Of which notice has been
given to the French Government. In any event.
the best-intorme people are confident that the
matter will be brought to . head within the next
fortnight, for an agreement as to the need OF
active interference has already been arrived At
ana the negotiations now proceeding relate TO
the share each Of the acting powers shall take
In the work.
The rumOr mas Dctu pcESLntoutl1 CuEEuub tuht
England has pacihed French susceptibilities In
regard to Egypt by promising to convene a Euro
pean conference to discuss the position Of that
country after setting the Turkish house in order:
but as far as can be ascertained there is no sub
stantial foundation for the report. There has
been a notable stifiening of the British back
bone in connection with this matter, and IL any
action il taken by England 1t will probably DO
in the opposite direction to that mentioned by
rumor.
Lord Charles Beresford made q notable speech
on Wednesday. in which he urged that the time
had come for England to tell the European pow
srs frankly that In promising 10 retire from
Egypt within q certain period or under certain
specified circumstances she made q mistake,
and that events compel her to declare that it IL
impossible to do anything but sit tight ON the
banks of the Nile. The speech and policy thus
snunciated have attracted widespread interest
and the circumstances under which Lord
Charles Berssford spoke add Importance to the
matter. As cabled . v week ago Lord Charles
Berestord suddenly abandoned his intention to
expose the British navy's weakness in his speech
at Birmingham last week. and there Is now no
doubt that he did 90 at the request Of the Gov
eminent
On the following day Mr.. Goschen. Minister
for the Navy, met Lord Charles Beresford, and
both had q long talk with Mr.. Joseph Chamber
lain at the latter's house near Birmingham.
Up to that moment Lord Charles Beresford had
no intention of making . public speech in Lon
don this week. but Immediately after the inter-
view his private secretary made arrangements
ID have speech delivered at the Constitutional
Club. The club 10 virtually the headquarters of
Toryism in London, and the selection of
such o place by q man in Lord Charles
pnrnaforh,a poaitinn In rnaka an tr portapr
political procurement is, to say the least,
somewhat significant At any rate it fully
tustifes the suspicion that Lord Charles was
selected By the Government 70 fy this p~articu-
lar kite with q view to ascertain how the people
Of England will take the course suggested py
their popular sailor politician
There can be no doubt that Lord Salisbury
will receive strong popular approval II he should
resolve upon the bold course of repudiating all
the numerous pledges As to the evacuation of
Egypt. How the OTHER powers will TAKE such an
announcement remains TO be seen. II virtu-
ally depends upon the attitude assumed
by France, and that again depends up
on the extent and value of the COM
pensation England Is prepared to pay
for French complaisance. II this new policy
has been decided upon. Lord Salisbury will be
almost certain to refer 70 it on Nov. o. and this.
