Regret Over ACQulescenCe In
the Egyptian Campaign
Causes a Crisis.
Government Will Be Interpo-
lated and the Result Is
Much in Doubt.
Naval Reserve Squadron Or
dered to Be Placed on
War Footing.

PARIS, March 3O.-The political world
of France is again in a highly per-
turbed condition and there are indica-
tions going to show that the govern
fnent seeks to retrace some of the steps
by which it has been placed in the
position of impotent acquiescence In
the dispatch of an Egyptian expedition
ND the Nile and the defraying of the
expenses of it out of the Egyptian debt
surplus.
The air is electric with expectation
and numerous rumors are current OF
grave things that are in contemplation.
Among those which are circumstan-
TALLY formulated are that the res
ignation of NJ Berthelot as minister OF
foreign affairs, announced yesterday,
was connected with the wish Of M.
Bourgeois, the premier, to recall Baron
de Courcel, the French ambassador in
London; that Frances
Naval Reserve Squadron
has been ordered to be placed on war
footing. and that France and Russia
will convene European conference to
discussion the powers of the Egyptian
debt commission to act against the vote
Of the minority of the powers guaran.
teeing the debt, and to discuss also the
evacuation of Egypt.
How far the French ministry
will reassume the stiff attitude of pro-
test against the Nile expedition, adopt
ed in M. Berthelot's report of his COM
munication to Lord Dufferin when the
expedition was first announced and
subsequently softened in face of the
outbreak of unbridled French patriot
ism, is the question of filst interest in
Paris.
The government will be interpolated
In the chamber of deputies and the
ministers will be under the necessity
of making some kind of statement in
reply. An important debate is expect
cd to result, and there is feeling in
some quarters that farreaching changes
of policy may be announced.

A FINE RAIN.

The rain began to come down in
earnest at about 4:30 o'clock Fri
day afternoon, and the long drouth
was at last broken. 1t continued to
pour until along in the evening, and
cisterns that had been dry for months
were partially filled. The cutters ran
brim full. and the walks received a
good washing. Two or three warm
days will bring on the grass, and the
land will soon be tinted green. Now
that the drouth has been broken, it
is hoped that the rain will not cease
until the ground is once more
thoroughly soaked.

DESERTED BY HIS ADOPTED PARTY
continued from first page

one among the most prominent colored
men in this city said that the committee
had overstepped themselves when they
expected to carry the negro vote for Rad
ford. Another said that it looked like an
insult to the intelligent colored voters
that they should be expected to follow
the behests of the white district commit.
tee and cite for n man that had advoca
ted such measures FOR the degradation of
the colored race as Duval Radford had
been the author of.
An intelligent colored man from Bed
ford City was in the city yesterday, he
SAID, to serve notice on the committee
that if Hoge was withdrawn and Radford
endorsed that the negroes of Bedford
would vote for Otey.
1t is also we'll known to all acquainted
with the proceedings of the last Virginia
legislature that notwithstanding the
strenuous eNertions to suppress gam
bling in Alexandria county, Mr.. Radford
was strongly in favor of allowing that
state of affairs to continue. The in
fluenccs OF the good people of the county
to suppress these dens of vice had no
weight with him, but he continued his
opposition to the reform to the end
is HOGE DEAD?
On September 10, just little over II
month ago the following appeared in
The Roanoke Times. 1t is self explana-
tory and needs nothing more to be fully
understood except that the interview was
written by Col. Hoge himself
"Thcrc is much talk and many wild
rumors afloat concerning the position
which Col. .Ino. Hampton Hoge, the Re-
publican nominee for Congress,in this dis
trict, occupies. Among various stories
that have gained prominence is that the
Colonel has withdrawn in favor of Duval
Radtord, the sound money Democratic
nominee from Bedford This story is be-
ing widely circulated in Lynchburg and
the lower end of the district. 1t goes fur
ther and says that Colonel TIoge was paid
$4,000 to step down and out, thus giving
the Republican vote of the district to
Radford. The people who are disposed
to talk this matter say that it was wise
thing on the part of Mr.. Hoge to do this,
rs the amount of ready cash in question
would be of more benefit to him and bet
ter for him than to remain candidate
and depend upon the election of McKin-
ley, which, to say the least is now con-
ceded us doubtful in order that he might
handle the federal patronage OF the dis
| trict.
Colonel Hogc was seen yesterday by IL
Times reporter and questioned as fol.
lows, to which is appended his answer,
which is very much to the point and
| speaks for itself:
Is the report that you had or would
Withdraw from the race for Congress
| true;'
1t is absolutely without foundation
| | will be in the fight to the last moment
| and nothing but death can prevent it,
1.-The above ought TO be sufficiently CON
vincing to show to the people that Mr..
| Hoge is determined to fight the matter to
| the end come what will.n

Shenandoah, Va, Oct 21-(Special,-
Several weeks ago the council employed
Baldwin's Detective Agency, of Roanoke,
to investigate the unlawful selling of
liquors at this point. Captain Williams,
who claimed to be II steamboat captain
on the Ohio river, dropped down on our
town, made the acquaintance of some CT
our most prominent citizens, joined the
Shenandoah Social Club. one of our most
prominent social clubs, was presented
with key, and proceeded to have first
class time. He was free with his money,
and seemed to be pretty well heeled
Talked steamboat to some of our citizens
and made II number of friends. He spoke
of bringing his steamboat to Shenandoah
and running it on our rivers. Pap
Huddleston, one of our leading citizens
seemed very much interested in the nice
Captain Williams, from Kentucky
and took great deal of pains to give him
large time. On Saturday last Captain
Williams swore out warrants for IL num-
Der of our citizens and placed same in
the hands of our police, who made ar.
rests. The trials were set for next We'd
nesday. Pap Huddleston' comes in
for all the blame for Introducing Mr..
Williams, and says that he cannot see
how such nice man could he detec-
tive. The cases will be fought despcr-
ately, as the authorities are determined
to drive liquor out of the town. The
club people think their charter will pro.
tect them and will fight the cases in the
courts. 1t is understood that steamboat
captains will be barred from future MEM.
