FRANCE AND EGYPT,

Ihere was big attendance i'm the French
chamber OF deputies yesterday in expecta-
ton of hearing an exciting debate on ,be
Egyptian question, as NJ. Francois De

The diplomatic gallery was full and
among those who listened to the long
speech of NJ Deloncle on the situation was
Sir Edmund ]. Monson, the British ambas-
sador
The minister for foreign affairs. NJ. Hano-

stated, was approved by all Europe?
Continuing, NJ. Banotaux said that the
Soudan expedition gravely concerned the
future of Egyptian finances, and France,
as one of the trustees of Egypt, had the
right to ask that this side of the question
be carefully examined. Many times had
Egypt sunk enormous sums in expeditions
into the Soudan and it was the ruinous
efforts 10 conquer the Soudan and Abys-
sinia which compelled the European powers
to intervene. Therefore, the French gov
ernment felt that II its duty to warn
Egypt that she was embarking in an
terprise which might again lead to a finan-
cal deficit.
In conclusion, NJ. Hanotaux said he was
convinced, In view of the delicate situation
existing in Europe at the present moment,
that every one would agree that nothing
should be done to disturb the concert of
the powers but at the same time he felt IL
incumbent upon MIN to declare that

The gathering of physicians in the room
of the Senate committee on the District of
Columbia yesterday afternoon for a hear
ing on local health bills. which have passed
the House of Representatives, as told in
The Star yesterday, resulted in an interest
ing discussion of these measures. The
hearing did not begin until nearly O'clock
and only Senator Gallinger, chairman of
the subcommittee in charge of these bills.
was present. The arbitration treaty being
discussed in the Senate. 1t proved so at
tractive that other members of the subcom-
mittee preferred to listen to IL rather than
to look after the wording of bills for the i'm

District of Columbia
Senator Gallinger spen. over an hour with
the physicians, and in the discussion and
through questions he asked showed the
medical knowledge he had acquired through
practicing many years before entering the
United States Senate.
Mr. Galfnger thought the provision of
the n,ii 10 regulate cemeteries and the re-
mofal or bodies from the same, which pre-
vents the removal of body out of the CITY
or from one cemetery to another was nm
necessarily harsh, and asked DIR. Wood

strictions were In force anywhere else

During the hearing a discussion of the

1t was true, as had been stated I'm a recent
newspaper article, that. in spite Of all mod
ern sanitary measures, there was never
such large mortality in the District as dur-
ing the past year. The question was ad-
dressed to DIR. Woodward, who replied that
while the statistics for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1896. showed the mortality slightly
greater than the. figures of the previous
year. the mortality of the latter year was
much below the average for the past

THE SYSTEM GROW S
The Civil Service Idea Has Steadily Ex-

The thirteenth annual report OF the civil
service commission has been sent TO the
White House. Its contents show that at

service is concerned there is good deal o:
protection.
The approximate number of places in the
civil branch of the government is 11S.
Ill. OF these 81, l07 are In the classified
service and 9l,6l0 unclassified. OF those
not yet classified G6. 80 are postmasters f
the fourth class. OF those unclassifed many
will be transferred to the classified service
by the action of the rules. The aggregate
compensation paid in the executive civil
service of the United States during the last
fiscal year was, approximately. sloo,eo0,@o.

give the commission sufficient authority TO
regulate promotions We'll as to inyesti-
gate cases where discrimination is charged
in making removals or reductions. Within
:fort time satisfactory regulations are
expected 10 be in operation IN all the de-
partments. so that promotions may be
made wholly on merit, and removals aud re-
ductions be made only for satisfactory
causes. without regard TO personal. political
or religious considerations. The temptation

The presentation of the opera was
delayed by the quarantine arrange
ments, and was postponed until the
numerous absentees had returned to
the city. The long period of practice
has made the principals and chorusses
perfect in their parts, and impartial
judges who have been admitted to
the rehearsals pronounce the opera to
be decidedly the finest amateur effort
ever seen in Greenvile. The large
and well trained chorusses have been
drilled by Mr.. McCutchan until they
have attained perfection rarely seen
except in professional companies, aud
the troupe is much the largest that has
ever sn0g all opera on the Greenville
stage. A great pleasure is safely
promised the audience, as the interest
they would naturally feel in the com
pauy will be further gratified by the
enjoyment of really good and well
sung music
