WILL YIELD EASHODA
But France Will Still Cling to Her
Honor.

London. Nov.3.-The situation regard
ing Fashoda is practically unchanged.
Baron De Courcel, the French ambassa-
dor, who on Tuesday, saw Sir Thomas
Sanderson permanent under secretary
of state for foreign affairs, was absent
from Lord SaIisbury's reception yester-
day.
The special dispatches from Paris this
morning repeat the semi-oficial state
ment that the evacuation of Fashoda is
accepted in principle but that other sta
lions in the Bahr-El-Ghazal region will
be maintained.
Various rumors are af1oat as to Abys-
sinian expeditions nearing the Nile to
assist the French, but nothing is known
on this point.
M. Delcasse, French minister of for
eign affairs, is expected to announce
his policy in the chamber of deputies
tomorrow. 1t is admitted on all sides
that Fashoda itself offers no difficulty
provided a way can be found to save
French honor.

warehousemen in dealing in grain were
denounced during the afternoon session of
the grain dealers and the speaker who
presented the arraignment, Samuel w.

threatened that if legislation did not soon
relieve the aggravated situation its aboli-

demand backed by a force of arms. The
speaker laid the responsibility for the con-

monopoly by the granting of special priVi-
leges to the WarehOusemen.

lower. said that zone of the Pop con-
gressmen was trying to get his son in
to the regiment, but he, Williams, would
see that he didn't succeed. Captain
Farrell also saws that when Ralph Bot
kin presented President McKinley's or
der that he should be admitted to the

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

E. NJ COldren, editor of the Oberlin
Herald, has apOligized to Secretary
BroWn, Of the Republican state central
committee, for publishing the article in
which Mr.. Brown was called a fOrger.
When COldren learned that Mr.. Brown
intended to prosecute him for criminal
libel he went to L. G. Parker, editor of
the Oberlin Times, a Republican paper.
and asked him to write to Mr.. Brown in
his behalf. Mr.. Parker says that Col
dren was given the article by Everett
Eiler, formerly an emplOye in the To-
peka asylum, and he published it with
out reading it himself. Mr.. COldren also
wired Taylor Riddle to intercede with
Mr.. Brown in his behalf. If the article
is retracted this week Mr. Brown will
not press the charges, although he has
assurances from the Republicans of De-
catur county that they will uphold him
in so doing.
''Final reports just received from the
Fourth district show that Martin will
have at least 1900 majority over Mil
Ter. said Chairman Riddle of the POpu-
list state committee, this morning. 1.-THE
poll we have taken was a school district
poll and it shows just what the result
will be. In some counties the men who
were put down as POpulists were asked
personally if they would vote the POpu-
list ticket, before they were counted as
POpulists Some of them are men who
have been voting the POpulist ticket all
their lives.'
The Republicans have followed the
example set by the Populists and have
begun to send out cartoons. They are
flooding the negro districts with car
tOon showing Chairman Riddle in an
attempt to cover UP sign board on
which are pictures of Hockey JIM be-
ing beaten by an asylum attendant,
and another of the alleged burning of
Wade Thomas with red hot irons at
the Hutchinson refOrmatOry last spring.
With the cartoon are sent out the aft
davits concerning the death of Hook
ey jim" the Hutchinson refOrmatory
story, the story that "UncIe Dave
HefebOwer won't let negroes live in his
home town, Bucyrus, a story that the

along the same line.

In addition to this, shippers have
practically ceased sending their

In consequence, through shipments

is spending money right and left in the
attempted repair of the tunnel and the
rental of the Southern Pacific tracks
for its trains, its daily income is ma

kept on running This was kept up
