The arbitration treaty being discussed in the Senate, it proved so at- tractive that other members of the subcom- mittee preferred to listen to it rather than to look after the wording of bills for the im- provement of the sanitary condition of the District of Columbia. Senator Gallinger spent 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.

House bill 9142, for the regulation ef privies in. the District of Columbia, was discussed at length. During ‘the hearing a discussion of the general health conditions in the.

FRANCE AND E Great Britain ing So: was a bi r of en a Hint Regard- Expeditions. tendance in the F Ss yesterd an exciting tian question, as M. I . the well-known anti-B: y rane, had announced his inten- nterpolating the government upon ed to take in view of the defiant ot Sir Michael Hicks- Beach, ncellor of the exch in the British house of commons Friday last. M. Delorcle yesterday asked for a state- ment from the government on the refer- ences of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach to France and Russia The diplomatic gallery was full, and those who listened to the long h of M. Deloncle on the situation was Sir Edmund J. Monson, the British ambas- sedor. The minister for foreign affairs, M. Hano- taux, replying, said he'was unwilling to en- gage in politics between the two parlia- me which might be the cause of regret table misunderstandings. But, he remarked, the utterances of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach did not tend toward a solution of pending international questions. Great Britain had accepted the position of defending the case (that of the right of the commission on the Egyptian debt to advance the funds ary to defray the expenses of the Anglo-Egyptian expedition to Dongola) be- fore the mixed tribunal at Alexandria. Why, then, should she endeavor to dis- credit its jurisdiction which, M. Hanotaux stated, was approved by all Europe? Continuing, M. Hanotaux said that the Soudan expedition gravely concerned the future of Egyptian finances, and Fi as one of the trustees of Egypt, had right to ask that this side of the question be carefully examin M: times had Egypt sunk enormous sums in expeditions into the Soudan, and it was the ruinous efforts to conquer the Soudan and Abys- sinia which compelled the European powers to intervene. Therefore, the French gov- ernment felt that It was its duty to warn Egypt that she was embarking Ip an en- terprise which might again lead to a finan- cial defieit. In conclusion, M. Hanotaux raid 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 it i clare that as re- been changed from the international view point, nor was there any change in the resolute attitude of France in these matters. The subject was then dropped. ++ CHARGED WITH BLACKMAILING. Th cham tion of Egy he ancois De- ish depu Received Check for $1,500 to Sup- press a Publication. Edward J. Russell, alias Alexander D. Russell, accused of levying blackmail upon Almet F. Jenks, was held for trial yester- day in Brooklyn in bail of $10,000, It ts al- leged that Russell demanded $3,000 from Mr. Jenks for the suppression of a story of a scandalous nature, which the accused seid he would otherwise cause to be pub- lished in a newspaper. Mr. Jenks laid a trap for the would-be blackmatler, and, as alleged, gave him a check for $1,500, which Russell dropped when detectives showed themselves, Confirmations, The Senate yesterday confirmed the nomi- nation of Isaac’ H.
