Says Henry ROchefOrt in a
Signed Statement.

Both Ends.
WAR NOW GOING on.

New York, April "A dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says: The EN-
ropean edition of the Herald prints
the following signed statement from
NJ. Henri ROchefort:
There are two things to which Eng
land viii never consent-the cOnstruc-
ton of a bridge over the channel and
the evacuation of Egypt. Mr.. Cavend-
ish Bentnick. member of Her Britain
mic MajeSty'S privy council. once said
to me in London. We are perfectly
willing to allow engineers to study the
means of linking Great Britain with
the continent OF Europe, but the strait
which we call our Silver Streak is our
defense and we shall never allow it
to be bridged.
Much the same holds good with re-
gard to Egypt The English will let
the powers continue to protest against
the continual delays in evacuation, but
they are daily growing more determ1n-
ed not to quit. Her MajeSty's govern
ment processes for the diplomacy of
Europe, particularly for the diplomacy
of France. an immense disdafn.
1t believes perhaps with good rea-
son, that it is equal to the task of play
ing off all the 'Taueyrands' and the
AIetternichs of the old world and it is
in this confidence in itself that it finds
its chief strength.
This British government for that
matter, has just proved by inducing
the commissioners of the Egyptian
debt. those of France and Russia ex-
cepted. to authorize payment which
is nothing but loan in disguise out OF
the seventy million francs of the re-
serve fund for the debt.
During the last two years of my eX-
lie in London, I was a witness of inn
nense and incessant works, the object
of which was the Improvement of the
fleet Of the United Kingdom.
The most important European COM
pication served as pretext for the
construction of new war ships, for
which purpose millions of pounds were
voted without counting them. In real
ity, England was aware that the in
sufficient reasons alleged for the main
tenance Of her troops in Egypt would
not long pass muster and was making
preparations for a possible war to
which indeed in my opinion, she quite
made up her mind, notwithstanding
Prince Bismarck's insulting prediction
that England will astonish the world by
her cOwardice.

Lord Salisbury, on the contrary has

little pugnacious by character.
He will rack his imagination to in

viii not evacuate Egypt.
This is my firm conviction, based
upon numerous conversations had on
the house of commons. particularly with
Irish members who being opposed to
English policy had no reason to con-
ceal its undercurrentS from me.

Palmer to dispose of some Of his pig
cons. Mr.. Bisc0e adds
II am neither a professional nor an
expert shot and am not looking for
bushes of this kind, especially with one
of the best target shots in the state,
and only claim to be medium live
bird shot and only about 60 per cent
on targets. So you see such a challenge
from me would be absurd.

There has been some talk of the West

could liven matters up in shooting by
