IN THE SoIbAa
Listened to II Careful
EXplanatiOn.

London, March 16-The grea test pos
Sible care was manifested in the house
Of commons today when the liberal
leader, Sir William Vernon HarcOurt,
put the question to the government re-
garding the proposed advance Of Brit
ish-Egyptian troops up the Nile from
Wady Halfa.
The reply Of the under secretary of
state of foreign arars, George Curzon,
was a long, carefully prepared state
ment in which he pointed out the
threatening dervish advances and their
danger to Egypt and intimated that the
movements Of Egyptian troops are part
~ from desire to aid Italy in her strug-
gle with the Abyssini&ns. Curzon said
the government was sure all the sub
jects of her majesty would have the
most sincere sympathy for Italy, and
expressed regret al the defeat of General
Barratieri. This statement brought
forth loud nationalist cries Of No"
Curzon said the courage Of the itai-
ians led to the hope that they would
rise from their reverses and Nindlcate
the honor Of their flag. "At the present
moment" he said, influences are at
work. and forces are unclaimed in
Central Africa which, if flushed with
victory and swollen by perfectly pOssi-
BILE combination of events. would consti-
tute the most serious danger, not mere
~ to italy, Egypt OF British occupation
Of Egypt, but 10 the cause Of Europe,
which is the cause Of civilization.'
Throughout Curzon's speech the Irish
members interiected cries Of ooh,
when T. III. Healy, among others, cried
NO" to the under secretary express
sion of sympathy with Italy, Healy's
followers cheered, the speaker paused
an instant, and then continued, Sym
pathy which is not broken by few
dissenting voices at the misfortune
which has befalIen a nation Of gallant
soldiers and staunch allies" (More

NO FREE SEEDS BEFORE JULY
Farmers Need Expect No Govern
ment Aid This Year.

Washington, March 16-Judging
from the hundreds Of letters received
by the senators and representatives of
the Washington delegation, there is a
general misunderstanding throughout
that state upon the seed question. The
agricultural appropriation bill has
passed both houses and become a law.
Ii contains an apDroprla lion Ct Si35-
600 for the purchase cf seeds and n0t
only authorizes the secretary Of agfi-
culture to spend this sum, but makes
it compulsory for him to DO SO. But
he fact has apparently been lost sight
of that this bill makes appropriations
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1897,
and that none of the money can be eE-
pended prior to July 81, 1895. So far as
the present spring is concerned, there
fore, this bill affords no relief Senator
Iansbrough's joint resolution compell-
ing the secretary Of agriculture TO eE-
pend last years appropriation which
the attorney general told the secretary,
under the existing law he was net com
PEELED to do, has passed the senate, but
not the house.
Secretary Morton has stated in an
interview recently published here that
by the time this resolution has passed
and the president has taken the GUS
tomary 10 days in which to consider,
it would then be SO late that there
would not be the slightest prospect
whatever Of purchasing seeds and set
ting them ready for distribution this
season. It can therefore be set down
as pretty certain that there Will be 70
seed for free distribution for farmers
III any section Of the country this year,
ana congressman arc generally answer
ing letters to that effect
NEEDED NO SIGNATURE.
The senate joint resolution directing
the secretary of agriculture to purchase
and distribute seeds, etc, as in pre-
ceding years, has become law without
the presidents signature. Secretary
Morton refused to carry out the old
law and vigorously opposed the pass
age Of the present mandatory act.
