London, Oct. 25.-The British gov
eminent issued another blue book last
night, the most important feature Of
which was a dispatch, dated October
u, from Salisbury to the British am
bassador at Paris, Sir Edmond Mon
son, reporting previous interview
with Baron de COurcel, in which the lat
ter wished to ascertain what solution
of the question was possible. In his
dispatches Salisbury says: i gener-
ally insisted that the Nile valley had
generally belonged and still belongs to
Egypt, and whatever diminutation that
title had suffered by Mahdi's conquest
had been removed by the victory at
Omdurman." Salisbury then pointed
out the heIpIessness of Marchand's po-
Sition, which Baron Council
denied and finally the British
premier in response to
Baron de Councils suggestion, offered
to supply Marchand with food and am
munition in order that he might be
able to reach French territory. Baron
de Coucel then said France wanted an
outlet to the Nile and Salisbury re-
quested that the whole proposition be
made in writing. This was the last in
terview between the ambassador and
the premier on this subject Baron de
Council then went to Paris and it is
thought that the proposition which he
brought last night embodieS the point
indicated in his conversation. The
British cabinet council has been fixed
for Thursday next.
The blue-book also contains inter
esting letters from Mustapha, regent
of Egypt, to General Kitchener and
Lord Cromer, British diplomatic agent
showing Egypt's attitude. He wrote
Gen. Kitchener warmly thanking him
for taking possession of Fashoda anC
thereby reconquering for Egypt the
provinces from which she had only re-
tired Professionally. The regent il
writing told Lord Cromer that he pro
tested against French violation Of
Egyptian territory" adding that Egypt
had never lost sight of the occupation
of the provinces of Soudan which are
actual sources of vitality of Egypt
from which she only withdrew oWins
to force. Mustapha concluded with re
ferring to the Anglo-French discussion
on the subject of FashOda, urging Lore
CrOmer to use his good offices will
Salisbury in order that in the incontes
tible rights of Egypt may be recognized
and that all provinces occupied up tt
the rebellion of Mohamed Ahmed be-
restored to her"
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle claims to have authority Il
say that a decision has already beer
taken by the French government
speedily to evacuate Fashoda and tina
Delcasse, French foreign minister, viii
do his utmost to facilitate a pacific so
luton.
In spite of the news
of warlike notifications which
came from France and different parts
of England Monday, and a decline in
rentes and cOnsOls, there is a distinct
ly better feeling in diplomatic circles
now and growing belief Tat the
Fashoda dispute will be arranged. The
French ambassador, Baron Cource
arrived from Paris last night, and
there is good authority for the state
ment that he is the bearer Of a propo-
Htion which may satisfy both govern
mentS.

THE RAGE RIOT IN
 SOUTH CAROLINA Angry Passions of the People
 Are Subsiding. IF THE T0LBERTS RETURN Trouble Will Immediately Follow, as They Are Looked Upon as the
 Inciters of the Riot Col
 lector Still in Prison.
IF THE T0LBERTS RETURN

Washington, November 11.-A special to ,.-e Post from Columbia, s. C., gives the following story of today's developments of the race riots in the state:
 Sheriff McCaslem of Greenwood county, in which Phoenix is located, wired the gov ernor today as follows:
 Things perfectly quiet and excitement all gone. You cannot rely upon sensational rumors."
 Late news from the scene of the lynch- ings indicates that the angry passions of the people are subsiding and no further bloodshed is to be expected, unless two ne- groeS, Circuit and White, or Henderson, a white man, all of whom the crowd wish to secure, are found. There is every reason to believe that all three have made good their escape. The feeling against the Tol- berts seems to be intense. An impartial man who has been at the scene Of the difficulty says:
 'If the Tolberts return to their home any time soon trouble will inevitably follow their presence in the neighborhood which for some time to come, if ever, will not be healthy place for them. They are looked upon the inciters of the trouble"
 It is generally thought dangerous to the two Tolberts here to be taken back to Greenwood. One spatch says, in speaking of the prospect of further trouble if the Tolberts are brought back here:
 ''If they are brought back there is no jail made that will stand.''
 This morning notice was given James Tol- bert, whose wife Is postmstress at Me Cormick, that he would be allowed thirty six hours to leave, but that his w fe and children will be cared for and protected. Although James Tolbert is not known to have had anything to do with the recent troubles it is said that he left, going no one knows where. Mrs Tolbert, 1t is stat ed, is making preparat ons to leave.
 It is supposed that James was accom- panied to a place of safety by armed ne- groes, a band of them being reported in the country today.
 Today a band of white men started from Abbevilles for the home of J. M. Collins, a brother-in-iaw of R. R. Tolbert, who is said to have been republican leader in his sec ton. They go to tell him that he must leave the county. There is no intimation that they will use violence to make him leave. ii'ov
 Tom Tolbert, who was so badly wounded in the original encounter, is now at Abbe vile. and late reports indicate that his death is expected at any time
 Collector John R. Tolbert is still here at the state prison with his son. Unless some complication occurs it Is expected that he made today to have either of these men re- leased. their attorney preferring for the present to keep them in their place of se- curity and where the elder man might se-~ cure the medical treatment his condition demands. All things considered, it looks tonight as if the trouble is at end and no more need be expected unless some of the Tolberts venture back to Greenwood county in a very short time.

POLITICAL PRISONERS
Being Transported From the African
 Penal Settlement to Havana.

San Juan, de Porto Rico, November H. The Spanish steamer Isla De Panay, from Cadiz, arrived here today with 292 Cuban political prisoners on board bound for Ha- vana. The prisoners left the African penal settlement of Ceuta on October 2S, and left Cadiz on the 3Oth. They have served sen tences from two to three years imprison- ment and were given emigrant aecommo- dations on the Isla De Panay. On board that vessel they were constantly kept under the guard of Spanish soldiers. The pxss- oners are badly off in the way of clothing, none having been supplied by the govern ment. But there were sick among them The Isla De Panay is due to arrive at Ha- vana on November 15.
 The Spanish government is paying the transportation. charges. but the prisoners complain of the presence of the guard of soldiers, declaring they are now free men, They admit, however, that they have not been ill-treated on board the steamer
 The Porto Rican papers have been noti- fleo by the authorities of the decision of the authorities at Washington to accord them second-class matter rates, and they are greatly pleased.

We are getting to that time when we will require not only the ablest men, but many of them in every department, to protect and administer the affairs of the nation.
 Uplifting to Society
 sThe important and great question that had to be met and that have been decided during the last few months have had an influence upon the great mass of our peo- pie. It has been uplifting to every com munity and to every phase of society. It has turned the attention of our people to the great power and responsibility Of our republican institutions and true interests as a people, and as a nation, not only at home, but throughout every part of the globe We have been enabled to give free dom to the millions of the oppressed and we are enabled to extend to them the hand of hope and secure for them a full measure of justce and enlightened government.
 'In behalf of the army and for myself I wish to return my most heartfelt thanks for this most cordial greeting"
 After the applause subsided, Mir Choate announced that General Miles wished him to ask for three cheers for General Shafter. Then ensued a storm of applause.
 A letter from President Mckinley was read and the presidents health was drunk.
 General Nelson M. Curtis proposed three cheers for General Miles and they were given with will.
 Mr. Choate then in a tribute to the navy, introduced Rear Admiral Henry Erben. He was received with cheers he rose. He said:
 T thank God that joind the navy when I was fifteen years of age and that I am in it yet."( Applause)
 Admiral Erben stated that the present success of the navy began with MT. Chand- Ter, followed by MT. Whitney, but one man to whom most credit was due, he declared, was MT. Tracy. MT. Tracy was sitting at the guests table and when he smiled at the allusion a loud cheer broke out and he rose and bowed.
 His reference to the service that Colonel Roosevelt did in fitting out the navy, both in Atlantic and Pacific waters, created great applause and Colonel Roosevelt was obliged to bow his acknowledgements.
 Ovation to Capt. Paget
 Captain Arthur Paget, of the royal navy, was then introduced A tremendous ova- tion greeted the English representative. He said words were inadequate to describe his admiration for the American soldier, the American sailor for Admiral Sampson and for General Miles in particular.

State Organizations


 State Organizations
 General Corbin recommends that the men of the national guard who entered the vol- unteer army be allowed to return and be readmitted to their state organizations. Ad- vice to those who control national guards Is given as follows: While the year en- campments have been productive of posi- tive good, imparting practical instruction to the troops participating, the experience of the recent campaign has demonstrated the absolute necessity of further assimlat- ing the condition of encaniped troops to the actual necessities of active service by mak- ing the men while in camp dependent for their subsistence on the army ration, fur nished by the state authorities, rations re- turned and cooked by the troops in pre- cisely the same manner as on actual ser vice in the field. An organization ordered to a state camp for military instruction re- lying on a caterer to furnish the necessary food can never acquire that self-reliance which characterizes the regular soldier on active duty for, without previously re- ceived instructions in preparing food the natural result when called into service will be poorly cooked and wasted rations which. failing to strengthen the physical man makes him liable to fabrile and stomachic troubles incident to service in all kinds of weather, under distressing and unfavorable conditions
 For this purpose involving the issue of rations and the purchase of field cooking stoves and utensils the annual appropria- tion made by congress for the support. in part of militia, is totally inadequate. and Its increase is urged, and 1t has now be- con a necessity"
 Other features refer to the post graduate schools for the army, post lyceums, post schools the personnel of the adjutant gen erals department, the bureau of military information and military attaches. Off, cers who are sent as military attaches arc recommended to be given the rank of lieu tenant colonel and major while on such duty.
 He also recommends that the pay of non commissioned officers be increased and that there be a reorganization of army bands which will secure the better class of mu- SicianS.
