THE OCCUPATION OF EGYPT.
The Policy of British Government Unde
Debate In House of Commons.

London, March 49, I'm the House of
Commons today Reginald MoKenna,
Liberal member for North Monmouth
shire, inquired whether the government
OF the United states of Colombia in
notifying Great Britain that Colombia
would not recognize G. T. b. Jenner,
British minister at Bogota, in the flu
tnre, had stated that the action of the
! Colombia government was due to defects
IN Mr.. Jenner's diplomatic temper.
George N. Cursor, under secretary to
the foreign office, replied that Mr.. Jenner
himself cabled that the government of
| Colombia would not recognize him.
Colombia had not notified the British
government of the fact or of the cause of
| its action.
In the course of the discussion of the
army estimates Mr.. Labouchere Radical
mem Der for Northampton, offered mo-
tlon demanding the immediate evacua-
| tion Of Egypt by Great Britain. Mr.. La
bouchere criticized the policy of the o.
oupation of Egypt. The speake stopped
him him, saying that the chair would
only permit discussion of matters i'm
med1ately relating to the army. Mr.. La
| pOuchere replied that 1t would be impos-
sible to discuss the question upon that
basis and he therefore would not move
| the resolution.
SirWilliam Harcourt commended the mere
accident of the forms of the House ought
| not to prevent discussion of thu situa-
| ton in Egypt. He suggested that a de-
bate on the Egyptian situation should
take place upon the coming up of the
vote for men, which he thought, the
government should allow to be considered
at the earliest possible time. Mr. Bal
four government leader, agreed the vote
for men should he taken Monday, when
Mr.. Lsbouchere could open the debate.
EESir e. T. Gourley, Liberal, asked the
government to explain how it was that
certain quotations in the Venezuelan
Blue Book marked with inverted commas
as having been taken from documents
embodied in the appendix, did not cor
respond with the words in the docu-
ments He desired to know why in more
than one Case the sense of the original
passages was departed from.
Sir Richard Webster. attorney general,
replied that the quotations were material
parts OF the case and were correct. The
slight verbal discrepancies were due to
the hurriedly revised translation Of some
OF the documents and thsre had been no
time to make corresponding alterations
IN the quotations. The error in one case
consisted in putting the summary within
the quotation marks.

LOADED WITH ICE.
Arrival of the Schooner Abbie k.
Bentley.


Found Outside by Captain Matthews in a
a Crippled Weighted Down
With Ice and With Sails Gone.
Captain Matthews of the tug A. Dem
crest, found the schooner Abbie K. Bent
ley outside last evening and took her in.
The schooner is commanded by Captain
Price, and is from Carteret. N. j., to
Portland. When found by Captain Mat
thews she was completely covered with
ice, and fairly loaded down.
She was out in the recent storm and
encountered extremely bad weather, and
in addition to the high winds and heavy
sea reported by other captains who have
made this pert within few days Cap.
tain Price had to contend with extremely
cold weather that turned the spray into
ice.
The crew were forced to work confirm
ally keeping the ice down, but with in
different success. The storm was fierce
and the schooner was badly pounded.
She lost her jibboom and jib, and sus-
tanned other damages.
Take it all in all she had very rough
passage, and when found by Captain
Matthews was practically helpless, the
great mass of ice with which she was
weighed down making it hard to handle
her. Despite the rough weather and the
crippled condition of the schooner, Cap
tain Price brought in his cargo unin-
jured. His arrival taxes one more from
the unpleasantly long list of overdue
vessels.
