At a secret conference of the leaders of the Conservative party, held in Bradford to-day, it was strongly urged that Government should at once take steps to effectively oppose aggressive designs of Russia by meaus of an endeavour to frustrate Russia's contemplated occupation of Stamboul. At an inquiry beiug made as to what would be the best way of opposing Russian aggression, it was argued that the policy of the Government should be to follow up the foreign policy of the late Lord Beaconsfield prior to his visit to Berlin with Lord Salisbury to the famous Berlin Treaty. Lord Randolph Churchill accepted the reply as containing the basis of a very desirable policy to be pursued. He went so far as to admit that the policy of the late illustrious leader of the Conservatives should be followed, were it practicable, but the noble lord went on to argue that the changed condition of affairs required a-great modification in the cardinal principles of the Beaconsfield policy. Strange rumors have been published in the Loudon press. It is reported ou good authority from Paris that the Fiench Government is arranging a scheme by which it hopes to be able to compel England to withdraw her soldiers from Egypt, and that in the event of this scheme failing, another line of action will be adopted. The basis of the alternative plan is believed to be a plot for inciting the Arabs to revolt, and by the aid of Fiench capital and French officers to enable the Arabs to custain an attack upon the English and force th' j m to evacuate.
