EGYPTIAN FUNDS.
Russia Proposes to Be Considered in
DISPOSITION.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 2s-6:47 pm
1t was learned today that Russia proposes
to be considered in connection with the dis
position of Egyptian funds despite Frances
withdrawal of her objection to their use by
Great Britain, in accordance with the
Anglo-French agreement.
The attitude of Russia is based On the
fact that she is one Of the six powers which
originally guaranteed to make good the de-
ficits Of the Egyptian administration.
Though there is a surplus now instead of a
deficit Russia holds that she Is as much en-
titled to be consulted as France.
Rumors circulated of further attempts on
the life Of General Kuropatkin, the COM
mander-in-chief Of the Russian army in the
far east, are denied General KurOpatkin
is at Liao-Yang and in good health.
The ministry of the interior denies the re-
ports of the discovery OF revolutionary
plot at Warsaw. No arrests in this con-
nection have been made.
