Fashoda.
London, Nov. 7.-At the banquet Civ
As Major General Lord Kitchener Lord
Salisbury announced that he had re-
ceived information from Baron de
Courcel, the French ambassador, that
"the French government had come to
the conclusion that the occupation of
Fashoda was of no sort of value to the
French republic, and thought, under the
circumstances, that to persist in Occu-
patton, which only cost money and did
them harm, merely because some peo-
pie thought 1t might be disagreeable
and unwelcome, would not show the
wisdom by which the republic had uni
formly been guided"
Accordingly, they have done what
/ think every government would have
done If in the same position" he said;
they have resolved that the occupation
must cease. Information to this effect
had been conveyed to the French au
thorities at Cairo. This gratifying re-
suit was largely due to the chivalrous
diplomacy Of the sirdar at Fashoda.
must not be understood as saying,
however that all causes of controversy
with France have been removed. 1t is
probably not so. 1 dare say we shall
have many discussions in the future.
but cause Of controversy Of an acute
and dangerous character has been re-
moved. We cannot but congratulate
ourselves upon this fact"

GAS TANK KILLS SEVEN.
Four More Bodies Found in the Ruins
Cause of the Disaster.

New York, Dec. Is. Four more
bodies were found yesterday in the
wreckage of the collapsed gas holder at
Twentieth street and Avenue A. This
brings the list of dead up to six, as
follows: Plus Balm. engineer in Fuld-
ner's furniture factory; John Gray, rs
years old. Waterman at the gas works:
August Wenicke. 16 years old; Andrew
Wendt and Peter Conlin laborers; Geo.
w. Bremen, timekeeper for the Logan
Iron works. No one is missing so far
as the police and persons living near the
gas works can tell.
AS to the cause of the collapse of the
new gas holder nothing is known. The
theory most commonly believed is that
the tank burst because settling of the
foundation on one side sent 5000, 900
gallons of water surging with irresist-
able force against the northern side of
the structure. 1t is said that the founda-
tons on which the holder rested stood
on made ground, which would be very
likely to buckle under tremendous
strain.
