Tendon. Jan. 4.-The Cairo correspon-
1ont of the Daily Mail says, as part eX-
nIonation for the British advance up the
Nile that it is believed French expeditions
have arrived quite close to Khartoum.
According to the same authority the
british force will be commanded by Ma
;or General Sir Francis Grenfel.
The Rome correspondent of the Daily
Mail says: 81 learn from private sources
that the Italian foreign office has received
information that Emperor Menelik has
summoned the Abyssinians to arms in
snpport of the French enterprises in equa-
torial Africa, and especially the plans of
the Russian Count Leontiff, governor of
The equatorial provinces of Abyssinia.
'Menelk himself is getting out at the
head of an army and it is believed the
movement marks an expedition against
the Anglophyle Ras Mangasciere, whose
province the negus wishes to annex. l
also hear that Menelik, calculating upon
the remissness of the Italian government,
proposes an advance toward the coast"
The Daily Mail, commenting editorially
on the foregoing dispatch from Cairo, sug-
gests that the Marchand expedition has
gone beyond Fashoda and reached Khar-
toum.
at is impossible" says the Daily Mail,
"for the expedition to have fought its way
there, and it can only have arrived by an
alliance with the khalifa, thus creating a
serious situation. A dispatch from Cairo
via Paris on Friday announced that a
French expedition had occupied Fashoda,
on the Nile, about 400 miles south of
Khartoum, and that it was reported
among the natives that the French were
descending the river"
Four BnttaIiOns to Move.
London, Jan. An response to the re-
quest of Sir Herbert Kitchener, it has
been arranged to send four battalions to
Cairo to replace those destined to take
part in the British advance to Khartoum,
ore to Malta and Gibraltar, and two 9TH
ers to be stopped while en- route for home
from India.

upon the gravity of the situation that
eompels an advance before the railway
has been completed. The Times suggests
that it would be safer to send a larger
force.
The Morning Post calls the force in
sufficient and points to ''the suspicious at
titude of the Marchand expedition, which
it is reported, has occupied Fashoda.' 1t
says: IF the expedition has advanced in
defiance of the authority of the French
government, its members are flibusters
and must pay the penalty. If, however,
they have any sort of sanction, it is time
for Great Britain to make her views
clearly understood"
A dispatch from Cairo says: "While it
is hoped the dcrvishes will make their
projected attack, it is considered likely
that, on learning our preparations to meet
them, they will prefer to remain i'll their
stronghold at Metemmeh."

In the October Forum there was an
article by Mark Twain on Adolph
Wilbrandt's play, "The Master of Pal
myra," in which he analysed the play as
it is presented in the Burg theatre,
Vienna, and urged that 1t be produced in
America. In the course of the article
(Which was a serious one) he said that
no one in America seems even to have
heard of the master of Palmyra .
However true this may be in general,
there is one exception. The German
professor in Middlebury college, Theo-
dore Henckels, has been working for
three years on an edition of the play and
will shortly be ready to issue it. In the
collection of data he has had the direct
assistance of Wilbrandt himself, whom
he visited last summer at his home IN
Rostock, Macklenburg. The play has
been read by advanced German classes
in Middlebury college for the last three
ears.-Burlington News.

The marble company has postponed
further blasting at the falls on account
of the continued high water in the river.
However, the work has so far progressed
that they will be able to install the
power, and finish the blasting of the
channel for the draft tube next season.
The entire work of blasting the thou
sands of tons of rock which have thus
far been taken out has been under the
personal supervision of Moses Duclow,
an expert quarryman, who has been in
the employ of the company for years.
AS an evidence of his classification as an
expert, it need only be said that not a
scrap of rock has been thrown upon the
street from upward of 500 blasts which
have been fired within five rods of the
sidewalk. Concerning the work upon
the mills proper, we are credibly Inform
ed that the steel frames for the same will
be in place by the middle of December.
The frames are to be boarded over and
the machinery put in place as fast as
possible. Then as fast as waste stone
accumulates it will be laid in place, and
the buildings finally be completed in
stone in this way. The fact that all
the machinery put in will be of the very
latest pattern will enable these mills to
take a place in the very front rank, both
in quality of work and speed of output.

Suicide of "A Former Addison Man.
In Montreal, last week, Norman Gotta
shot and instantly killed Matilda
Laviguer. Then he sent bullet through
his own brain. The scene of the murder
and suicide was little candy store on
Berri street, kept by the young woman's
mother. A letter found on Cota's body
showed that the crime was premedtated.
In it he stated that he intended to kill
himself for love of Mathilda Laviguer
and requested that the news of his death
be sent to his sister, Mrs. Alfred Gage
of Vergennes, and also that his body be
sent to that place for burial. Gotta was
born In Addison, and was A. years old.
He married daughter of. Happy of Ad-
olson, who died In Vergennes city three
years ago. A son, aged II years, sur
wives them. Gotta did not bear a first
class reputation, and was arrested about
six years ago for attempting to strike
City Sheriff Bates of Vergennes with an
axe, while the latter was attempting to
arrest him for disturbing the peace by
drunkenness, for which Gotta was sent
to the state prison at Windsor for term
of two years.

How BuHOn's Family Got Him to Re-
sign from the Buckers and
kfckers.

Button is rich and proud. He comes of a
good old family and is recognized society
leader of Detroit He, with some of his
swell bachelor friends, organized the s'Buck-
ers and Kickers," of which he was made
grand high contortionist. The order had no
object but fun, yet it maintained a show of
mysticism and announced it's meetings in
a way to arouse general curiosity.
Button went east for rest and change.
His immediate family and friends did not
like his belonging to fraternity with such
a name and such doubtful aims. They saw
an opening and proceeded to get even. The
first day at a New York hotel he received
dozen letters, and on the envelope of each,
in big type, was his name and his title as
grand high contortionist, followed by the adj
ii not called for. The clerk noticed it, and
not but see what was as plain as hand bill.
He was indignant at this use of his official
envelope, and Indignation became explosive
ness when a Gotham theatrical manager
called on him, asked if he belonged to the
"perfesh," and if he were open to engage
ments.
Button fired hot letter home, bearing an
Immediate delivery stamp. He informed the
folks that it was in the worst taste to send
private correspondence in business en-
velope. He wanted no more of it, 1t had
cost him great annoyance and he was going
to change his hotel at once. But that 'grand
high contortionist" pursued him like an
avenger until he returned home, raked all
his relatives over the Goals, resigned from
the Buckers and Kickers and made bon
fire of the stationery which he held as grand
