Radicals Do Not Believe the Gov.
ernment's Statement.
SIGNS POINT THE OTHER WAY

London. March 1e.-The greatest posi-.
BILE interest was manifested in the house
of commons t5day when the Liberal
leader. Sir William Vernon Harcourt put
"a question to the government regarding
the proposed advance of British East In
dian troops UP the Nile from Way Halfa.
The reply of the under secretary of state
for foreign affairs. George n. Curzon. was
long and carefully prepared statement,
IN which he pointed out the threatening
Dervish advances and their danger to
Egypt, and intimated that the movement
OF Egyptian troops was partly from a de-
sire to aid Italy in the struggle with the
Abysssnians.
Curzoa said the government was sure
all the subjects of her majesty would have
the most sincere sympathy for Italy, and
expressed regret at the defeat of Gen. Bar
atieri.
This statement brought forth loud Ma
tional.st cries of NO
Curzon said the courage of the Italians
led TO the hope that they would rise from
their reverses and vindicate 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 a
perfectly possible combination Of events,
would constitute a most serious danger,
not merely to Italy. Egypt or British &C.
cupation Of Egypt, but to the cause OF Eu-
rope. which is the cause OF civilization"
Throughout Curzon's speech the Irish
members interjected cries of oh" When
Tim Healy. among others, cried NO"
to the under secretarys expression of
sympathy with Italy. Healy's followers
cheered. The speaker paused an instant.
then continued: Sympathy, which Is now
broken by few dissenting voices, at the
misfortune which has befallen nation
of gallant soldiers and staunch allies.
More cheering)
The motion Of Henry Labouchere to ad-
tourn the house in order to discuss the
Dongola question was rejected. as to 126.
Sir william Vernon Harcourt. the o2-
position leader, warned the government
that any attempt to raoocupy the Soudan
would be strenuoltsly resisted. The oppo-
sition. however, he went on to say, ac-
cepted Mr.. Curzon's assurance that such
occupation was not meditated.

ducing a diversion in favor of the Italians.
and involved no risk to England. The
F,rvptian government he maintained. was
not launching a policy of adventure.
John Morley asked whether. In view OF
the fact that the advance was parity Tor

be saddle1 with the expense. Mr.. Balfour
made no reply 10 this sally, ana a diver

THE y. p. REORGANIZATION.


Braytou Ives. August Belmont and
Others Advise Acceptance.
New York, March 1s.-An advertisement
appears in a morning paper. signed by
Brayton Ives, August Belmont. George r.
Sheldon and Chariemagne Tower, jr.. the
protective committee appointed by the
board OF directors Of the Northern Pacific
to guard the interests OF the stockholders
The advertisement in part follows:
I'VE respectfully recommend the prompt
adoption Of the plan Of reorganization
which has been prepar>i by the represent
tatives of a majority 81 all classes OF Sc
curfty holders. Tho committee believes
that this plan involves the minimum OF
sacrifice and is the best that can be carried
under existing conditions In view OF the
prominence given last year to repeated ef-
forts to reorganize the property on lines
which. n followed out. would have de-
stroyed its Independence. and which would
have been unduly severe on the stockhold-
ers. It il proper TO say that in the present
plan every precaution has been taken TO
insure the preservation Of the autonomy OF
the company and to reorganize 1t on a
strictly independent basis
IF the stockholders are called on to
make sacrifices they can be at least sure
that there is good ground for expecting
ultimately a proportionate reward. At
present the fixed annual charges prior
to dividends upon the preferred stock
amount to SO 9o7. 7go. while under the pro-
posed plan they would be only s.. $50. a
reduction of As55. 80. The total fixed
charges and dividends on the common
stock are under the old company Sl3. 72s.-
s54 as compared with s. 90. $50 proposed
under the rev company. a reduction of
SAFE, 1874, which is nearly equal to s per
cent on the new common stock.
In other words. while the net
earnings In 1912. the most prosperous
years in the history OF the company. were
insufficient by upwards OF $500 900 to pay
any dividends whatever on the common
stock, the same earnings by the new COM
pany would afford to pay y per cent. divi-
dends on this stock"

The British Isles Storm-swept.

, London. March 1s.-Terrible gales have
occurred today in the west of England
and In Ireland. The force of the wind and
the waves was such that the piers at Iiv-
erpool have been washed over and flooded.
The ship canal has been made unnavigable
by the storm. and the walls of the canal
were severely tried by the wash OF the
waves. The flying squadron had to make
for Queenstown for a harbor in distress,
the vessels having shipped large quanti-
ties OF water. No serious damage result
ed, however.
