FRANCE is ARIP[[D
Semi-Official Denial That Re-
lations With Great Britain
Are Strained.
At the Same Time Prepara-
tons for War Are Going
on Hurriedly. "
FRENCH YELLOW BOOK ISSUED
Priority of Claim in the Sou
dan Urged by Right Of
Possession.
Serious View of the Situa-
ton Taken by the Lon
don Press.

PARIS, Oct. pa semi-oficial note
just issued says: "There is no founda-
ton for the alarmist rumors regarding
the relations between France and Great
Britain. 1t is equally incorrect to say
that extraordinary measures have been
taken at any of our naval ports.''
The Fashoda yellow book, just out, is
vo1uminous, but it does not include
Major Marchand's report, which will be
published later. The dispatches were
largely anticipated by the English
Fashoda blue book
The diplomatic conversations recorded
show curious endeavor on the French
side to represent that Marchand's mis-
sion was quite as important as General
Kitchener's on the ground that the
struggle was against the khalifa and
barbarism.
French Side of the Case.
On Sept. IS M. de la Case, the French
foreign minister, informed the British
ambassador to France, Sir Edmund
Monson, in explicit language, that
France did not regard Lord Salisbury's
claim to the Soudan, by virtue of con-
quest, as applying to Fashoda, on the
ground that the Marchand expedition
went to the relief of the French expedi-
ton under Captain Licolard, which dated
from a period long before the declara-
ton in the house Of commons by Sir
Edward Grey, under secretary of state
for foreign affairs in Lord Rosebery's
cabinet, as to the policy Of the British
government toward the Soudan, and
at time when the equatorial provinces
were lost to civilization. In fact, M.
de la Casse argued, unless Great Britain
possessed the sultans mandate, as we'll
as the khedive's, to acquire all former
Egyptian provinces, France considered
herself equally entitled with England to
possession of any point occupied by
French officers.

MUST EVACUATE FIRST.

After NIarchand Leaves Fashoda England
Will Negotiate.
LONDON, Oct. 25.-The French yellow
book on Fashoda seems to indicate an
intention on the part Of the French gov
eminent to use the Marchand affair as
a means Of raising the whole Egyptian
question. This impression is confirmed
by the comments Of most Of the Paris
papers.
The London press admits the gravity
of the situation revealed by the yellow
book, but the papers are unanimous in
declaring that it is impossible for Lord
Salisbury to consent to any negotiation
until Fashoda is evacuated.
AS, however, the French minister. M.
Delcasse, with equal frmness declines
to withdraw Marchand without previous
negotiations the situation has an omin-
GUS look.

A Marrow Escape,

One day a mother who had been
to a country house near Marseilles
was returning at twilight to. the city
with her son, a child of 8 years,
who had been Put in a peach basket
borne by donkey, and the mother,
fearing the child might catch cold
(it was in November), had covered
him with a thick brown shawl.
Tired with running around the coun-
try all day, cozy and warm under
the thick shawl, the child was soon
asleep and hidden by the sides Of the
basket. There is a local custom
house at the gates Of Marseilles, and
when the inspector surnises that
any package contains contraband
articles he thrusts sharp steel pick
through it. He was preparing to
do this with the basket when the
mother, some distance behind, saw
his intention and shrieked out that
her son was in the basket. 1t was
