LONDON, Nov. 2.-Mr William
Hayes Fisher. one of the junior lords Of
the treasury and member Of parliament
for Fulham. as well as a ministerial
whip. speaking in London last even
ing. said he had seen dispatches which
enabled him to assert that the French
government had decided TO recall the
Marchand mission from Tashoda.
The Paris correspondent OF The Daily
Mail says:
France will retire from Fashoda un-
conditionally and without asking COM
pensation.
Baron de Courcel whose term as
French ambassador IN London expired
long ago, but who has held on to con-
duet negotiations affecting Egypt will
now be recalled. and no haste will be
shown 20 appoint his successor, with a
view Of marking French resentment at
British action for England has almost
taken the place OF Germany as the OBJ
ject of French hatred"
The Paris correspondent Of The Times
says:
Baron de Courcel gathered from a
conversation held after the lest British
cabinet council that Lord Salisbury's
attitude had undergone a change, the
British premier insisting that IL was
impossible to disregard public opinion
in England and that nothing could be
done until Fashoda was evacuated.
$50 far as French public opinion Is
concerned, there is not the slightest idea
of going to war for Tashoda, and any
government doing so would be regarded
as a government OF imbeciles."
The Daily Graphic says this morning.:
1--WE learn from an official source in
Paris that Captain Barater bears in
structions to Major Marchend TO re-
turn TO Fashoda and then 10 withdraw
his expedition in the direction of the
upper UbanEhi river, north Of the kon-
go. evacuating Fashoda and the 1--WE
posts established by him east of the
frontier indicated in the Anglo-German
agreement.
"The Egyptian government win be in
vited 10 send troops to accompany Ma
Jor Marchand as he retires from the
Bahr-el-Ghazel territory and to occupy
the posts as they are evacuated by the
French officers thus solving the dill
Guilty concerning Major Marchands re-
victualment.
when Major Marchand's retirement
is fully accomplished, negotiations based
on proposals submitted by Baron de
Courcel to Great Britain win be OPEN
ed. France is disposed to recognize
frankly that the reconquest Of Omdur-
man completely changes the situation
as II existed when Major Marchand was
instructed TO proceed 10 the Nile The
French government will even state that
had Major Marchand been aware Of the
khedivial advance he would not have
pushed his mission so far cast.
''These intentions have not yet been
officially impaired 10 Great Britain, but
they probably will be before Major Mar
chands aevacua lion commences"
Without going so far as The Daily
Graphic all the special dispatches from
Paris to the morning papers indicate
that the solution predicted by The Dali
ly Graphic VIII be the one finally reach
ed and that, even should France sullS
automatically, no further serious con-
sequences are anticipated IL is not be-
lieved however that France will pur-
sue the useless course Of leaving her
embassy in London vacant.
The acquiescence of the French peo-
pie IN the revision OF the Dreyfus case
1ustines the French cabinet in a con-
oiliatory policy Only as a means of
withdrawing attention from internal
troubles could the French goVernment
entertain the idea of rlsking war for
Fashoda. and since there is no sign Of
disorders in Paris the whole situation
has changed.
