§ MR. A. J. BALFOURasked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether any hopes have been held out by Her Majesty's Government to Prince Hassan of obtaining the Office of Governor General of Khartoum?
MR. GLADSTONE, in reply, said, that he thought it had been clearly understood—and there was no doubt Prince Hassan understood—that Her Majesty's Government were not in any way committed to any course beyond what was known.
