THE FAsHODA AFFAIR.
Much Favorable Comment on Lord Sails
bury's Determined Stand.

London, Oct 10.-The comments In
public and i'll the newspapers show that
the Marquis OF Salisbury's determined
stand on the question Of the occupation
Of Tashoda, has come as q most agree
able relief and disposing of all the sto-
ries OF a possible compromise. No
whisper Of dissent is heard anywhere.
Both friends and opponents of the
premier are rajoiced at the fact that,
in publishing the blue book on the
Fashoda question, he has burned his
bridges behind him.
While it IS recognized that the stu
ation by this publication has become
more difficult for France, there is al
most an entire absence Of disposition
anywhere TO believe that France pro-
poses to press her claims to the point
of danger.
The Matin, which is directly inspired
by the treneh foreign office. was the
foremost in urging extremist views. 1t
says We shall probably not risk a
war with Gu eat Britain for the nemi-
nal sovereignty over territories at an
Immense distance from our possessions
on the Atlantic. They are as inacces-
sible from our coast annexatiens as the
mountain in the moon. But we can
retain cur honor without retaining
t'eshoda. Prudence should prevent us
from loading ourselves with too much
territory. We must be colonial. but in
moderation.
The newspapers of Paris this evening
take calm view of the situation, and
plead for moderation. They express
sincere desire for a friendly settle
mept Of the question when Maj. Mar
chand's report shall arrive.
A prominent member of the French
embassy in London expressed the fol
lowing views on the situation this
evening: "The advent fthe French anC
British on the upper Nile ought not t.
be regarded as the meeting Of oppos
ing policies, which necessarily exclude
one another, but as the clash Of com
mercial interests which should be care
fully defined and embodied in a per
manent agreement.
war, which has not been provoked
by the question of Egypt, will certain.
ly not break out over the upper MILF
question. The issues at Fashoda will
be settled in a friendly manner, to tht
general satisfaction, but an agreemen
will be much more easily reached wher
the newspapers of both countries cease
exciting public opinion"

SPANISH CAUSE.
French Newspapers Show
Evidence of Much Anxiety.

Paris. Oct. 1o.-The United States
peace commission held two sessions to-
day. They were devoted to acquiring
and weighing information relative to all
the questions involved in the matters
under the immediate consideration of
the commissioners. 1t is believed that
the questions now being discussed re-
late to Cuba and the adjustment of the
debt of that island.
The Paris newspapers show evidence
Of anxiety in behalf Of the Spanish
cause.
LIE Journal Des Debats. on Saturday,
said that the Philippine question was
being considered by the joint commits
sion, and the Matin, on Sunday, follow
ed with similar statement, alleging
that an understanding regarding Cuba
and Porto Rico was possible, las the
United States claims everything and
Spain refuses nothing, but the difficulty
arises on the question Of the Philippine
islands,"
The Matin closed its remarks on the
subject by expressing the belief that

strong, show herself also generous.
In view of the fact that the Joint
commissions have not yet considered
the Philippine question, the Paris pa
pers appear to Americans as making
the statement that the Philippines are
under consideration in order to be in a
position to adjure the American com
mission to treat Spain generously.
The Gauleis, this morning, reviews
the political situation, and draws the
conclusion that Between the alleged
republics purpose of expansion and the
democratic opposition thereto, Presi-
dent Mckinley and the United States
commission will be inspired after all
with the sentiments of generosity
which are the honor of victorious ma
tions."
The keynote of these expressions
seems to have been sounded by Span
ish diplomat to an American here last
week, the diplomat saying that the
United States should be generous to
Spain.
That remark and the utterances OF
the French press give to each other
added significance.
A dispatch from Madrid this morning
says the cost of the Cuban and Phil
ippine campaigns will exceed 5000, 900,
900 peSetaS.

THE oMAHAFAIR.

1t must make the managers of the
late worlds fair in Chicago reminis-
cent at least, when they contemplate
the financial statement Of Secretary
Wakefield of the Omaha exposition.
The latest statement was issued Ton
September rs. when the fair had 90
days to run, or one-fifth of the entire
time. At that time it was figured that
there was balance in the bank of
s128,00o. while the total Liabilities were
figured at $4,000. leaving a net bal
ance of 100000. This is the estimate
used as g forecast, the managers fig
uring that as all bills had been paid
as fast as presented and only s26 900
remain on contracts, $4s, 900 for the to-
tai expenses of running the show at
the rate Of $1,000 daily and only $4,000
in notes, the directors are certain that
the fair will prove a winner.

Boston, Oct. 1O.--The 10th trienniai
exhibition at the Mechanics building,
Huntington avenue, under the auspices
Of the Massachusetts Charitable Me-

divers exhibits, including those Of
scientific and mechanical inventions
and devices, arranged to illustrate the
great strides which have been made
along these lines. Electricity probably
dominates over all other branches, ana
Its application is illustrated in almost
countless ways. American devices for
manufacturing purposes in many lines
Of work also have been made to COM

women's department which presents
many attractive features end lectures
and entertainments in plenty, and OF
great variety are among the events
scheduled for daily occurrence
