England and France.
M. Hanataux, Minister for Foreign Affairs, in a speech in ihe Chamber of Deputies, said that Fra cc. desiring to maintain the liyhts of i he HnUnn and the Khedive" hHd as'trd Britain to define her precise claims on '.he Upper Nile. Instead nf u^ing the phrases " ihe Egypuan and British spheres," they must pay wbtre Egypt ended. France would not assent to unknown condition-'. Upon receiving the demand britain immediately stopped negotiations. The annexation of the Upper Nile, so far as Britain i was concerned, was only on paper, J and the agreement with Zanzibar infringed French rights. France would not permit the Royal Niger Company to monopolise the country and coerce outsiders. 'The* Paris correspondent of the
Tones suggests that in view of the attacks in the press* Britain should provide her embassies with funds in order to enable them to exert influence in the same way as France and other nations do.
