ENGLAND AND EGYPT.
(]!Y ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH—COI'YBiaHTj London, June 28. In the House of Commons Sir Michael Hicks-Beach moved the remission of the war loan granted to Egypt in 1897. Speaking to the motion, he said immense residts had been achieved at a cost of £1,850,000. When Khartoum was captured it would probably bo only necessary to retain a small British force in the Soudan temporarily. It was not contemplated to undertake large military operations for the recovery of the southern provinces. Gunboats would keep the Nile open for trade, and friendly relations would be cultivated. The motion was carried by 155 to 81.
