AN OMlNOUS OUTLOOK.
A Proposition Over which France and
England Has DeadIocked.

London. Oct. 24-The French yellow
book on Fashoda seems to indicate the
intention of the French government to
utilize the Marchand affair as a means
of raising the whole Egyptian question.
This impression Is confirmed by the
comments of the most of the Parts pa
pers this morning.
The London press admits the gravity
of the situation revealed by the yellow
book. but the papers are unanimous in
declaring that IL is impossible for Lord
Salisbury to consent to any negotia-
tion until Fashoda is evacuated. As,
however. the French minister. NJ. Del
casse. with equal firmness, declines TO
withdraw Marchand without previous
negotiations. the situation has an omi-
nous outlook.
The Times in its editorial said Lord
Salisbury has replied to Baron Decour-
cells pretensions with the decision
which might have been hoped for. Ba-
ron Decourcel. after long conference
with NJ. Delcasse. left Paris for Lon
don yesterday. According to the Temps.
he had an important conversation with
Lord Salisbury before he left London
and will have another on returning
there.
Another dispatch from Paris SAYS Il
Is rumored that he is bringing to Lon
don definite proposals for the evacua-
tion OF Fashoda on condition that
France he granted a Nile outlet on the
river. Bahr el Gazal. one OF the tribu-
taries Of the Nie entering II about $50
miles southwest Of Fashoda at Mokren-
el-pohur.
Most of the special dispatches to the
london papers say yesterday Sunday
the feeling in Paris was decidedly more
horeful owing to tn widespread idea
which the yellow book confirms-that
Lord Salisbury had not fatty refused TO
entertain Baron DecourceIs suggestion
of CONDENSATION for the evacuation Of
Fashoda.

Attack ON Frank Rife.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Livingston. Oct. 23.-Frank Rife, a sta
uonary engineer employed at the Newton

loon and was approaching the bar when
the Italian rushed at him with the still
leto In his hand and before Rife could
evade him he was struck I'm the left side,
Just over the heart. Rife. though seriously
injured. knocked the Italian down and
would have jumped on him had bystand-
ers not interfered. The injured man was
taken to his home In Riverside. and DR.
Leard. who Is attending him. states that
though the wound is a very severe one
he will probably recover.
Rife Is an inoffensive man, with many
friends. and no explanation can be given
for Brendissis attempt to end his life.
He was crazed with drink and was not
altogether responsible. He was placed in
the county jail. where he will be detained
