always awake to the comfort of its
patrons, have just added to their al

urious new Sleeping Cars, to be oper-
ated in connection with it's famous
Royal Blue Trains" between the
above named cities. For elegance and
comfort this new product of the Pull
man Company surpasses all past rec
ords. The cars, while not on the elab-
crate order are of the latest and most
improved design, and plainly show the
inventive genius of master workmen.
The cars are named "ClaremOnt,'
"Deermont," Beaumont" "L.-mont, "
and "GIenmont."
They are of the thirty-five ton class,
with sfx-wheeI trucks, ,Pintsch gas sys-

Creston Clarke.

The theatre patrons of this commun-
ity are looking forward with great
pleasure to the engagement of the
Creston Clarke Company which will
appear at the Auditorium Tuesday
evening, Nov. 1.
The MANAGEMENT has made arrange
ments with Mr.. Clarke to stop here for
one night on his western tour, and al
ready there has been great demand
for seats. Mr.. Clarke, assisted by Miss
Adelaide Prince, will present "The
Last of His Race" romantic drama
in four acts. .hat the presentation
vii be successful one Is assured:
Mr. Clarke has surrounded himself
with one of the most capable compan-
les that can be procured. Each mem
Der of the company may well be call
ed star in the particular line of work
assigned.
There was a time when Mr.. Clarke
announced himself as the nephew OF
the great tragedian Edwin Booth, and
drew patronage on that account. To-
day, however, all that is passed, Mr.,
Clarke apears on his merits as an act
or, and to say that he is without peer
in romantic drama is but lily express
ing it. Much of the success or MT.
Clarkes plays is due to the magnlfi-
cent acting of his leading lady, Miss
Adelaide Prince Miss Princes powers
are too we'll known to need much COM
ment. Educated, as she has been, un-
der Augustin Daily, playing seconds TO
Miss Ada Rehan, and for the last sew
eral years as a star in leading roles,
she has proven herself in every way
capable from an artistic standpoint
worthy of all that was expected OF her
by her teachers. In addition to Miss
Princes art her beauty and magnifi-
cent gowns are at once attractive to
the eye.

Great Britain Wants Control of
the Great River and All
Its Watersheds.
WILL NOT DISCUSS FRENCH CLAIMS.
Salisbury Has Made it Clear, it is
Claimed, That Maj. Marchand
Must Quit Fashoda.
England Prepared to Negotiate the Cues
tion of the Western Frontier of Bahr-
El-Ghazel District-Francs Must
Accept the Position.

LONDON, Oct. 25.-All interest Tues
day was centered in the marquis of
Salisbury's addition to the Fashoda
correspondence, contained in the pub
lication of the British blue book on
that subject. The conservative news
papers express themselves as being
highly pleased with his rejoinder to the
French yellow book on the same sub
ject. They declare that it dispels the idea
spread by the dispatch of the French
ambassador here, Baron de Courcel,
that the British premier was willing
to negotiate on the whole question.
But the liberal and radical organs still
consider that the marquis of Sails
bury's attitude admits of negotiations
promising friendly arrangement.
The entire press, however, scouts the
idea of the possession of Fashoda
coming within the sphere of the dis.
cussion.
The st. James Gazette Tuesday after
noon says: "We are prepared to ne
gotiate the question of the western
frontier of the hr-El-Ghazel district,
but we must control the Nile, both
banks and watersheds, from the source
to the sea-"
The Globe thinks the marquis of Sal
isbury has made it clear that Maj.
Marchand must quit Fashoda without
conditions. "Until that is DONE" the
Globe says ''there can be no discussion
of the French claims in Africa"
The Globe points out the significant
announcement in Gen. Kitchener's re-
port that he sent gunboats south from
Sebat toward Meshra- Er-Rek, the prin-
cipal trading center of the Bahr-El-
Ghazel region, with instructions to es-
tablish necessary outposts, and that be-
fore he left Sebat he completed ar
rangements for the maintenance of
those stations. "This move," the
Globe adds, "brings our position down
to the eighth parallel of north latitude,
and the valley of the Bahr-El- -Ghazel
at this moment is under the rule of the
khedive. 1t will be interesting to see
the effect of this revelation upon the
French government"
The Pail Mall Gazette concludes from
the publication of the blue book that
the French government has been given
to understand that, wholly apart from
the Fashoda question, it's title to the
territory abutting on the left bank Of
the Nile is rejected as utterly unten
able and France must accept the posi-
tion or take the consequences"
The Westminster Gazette suggests
as solution that the French be grant
ed ''way leave" and "enclave" for com
mercial purposes in the Bahr-El-Gha
gel district. SWAY leave" is the right
of way over anothers ground. "En
clave" is to shut in, to enclose territory
within the territories of another
power. The French papers Tuesday
are most hopeful and believe that {
pacific solution of the dispute will bt
found,
