PARIS. oct. "A remarkable change
has come over the French opinion on the
Fashoda question during the forty-eight
hours. The attitude Of the public Is more in
flamed and more defiant; this Is partly due
to the tone Of the British press, but more
to the threatening speech OF the British
Chancellor Of the Exchequer. Sir Michael
Hicks-Be which the Autorite calls "A
provocation that is almost a threat Of
war"
The Municipal Council OF Paris IS abus-
ed on all sides for urging the government
10 avoid war.
II IS reported that the policy OF France,
as definitely stated 70 Great Britain, in
ciudes the retention OF Fashoda.
Rumors that Count Muravien, the Rus

The reason for the omission OF any
