WAR TALK BEGINS ABROAD
NOW FRANCE AND ENGLAND
The French Must Evacuate FashOda
or Fight Great Britain-very Lit
tie VIII Precipitate q Conflict i'm
Europe.

London, Oct. l7.--Last week opened
with an enormous rafting of sabers over
Fashoda and ended with the rumblings
of revolutionary volcano in Paris. The
situation arising out of the question be.
tween Great Britain and France as to the
right of occupying Fashoda is extremely
grave. Everything hinges on the nature
of the report of Major Marchand, the
French commander at Fashoda, which is
on its way from Khartoum to Paris. The
evacuation of Fashoda by the French
must, however, take place if war between
Great Britain and France is to be avoid.
ed, as the Marquis of Salisbury has nail
ed his colors to the mast and can not
recede from the position he has taken up,
and in which he received the unanimous
support of the country.
The Speaker, the organ of the liberal
party, refers plainly this week to the inl-
possibility of relinquishing the British
claims, and points out that if it comes to
war it will not be merely for Fashoda,
but for the maintenance of Great Brit
aims place in the world, plus her un-
uouUteu rights.
The Speaker adds: IF we abandoned
our claims Englishmen would not only
lost the respect of others, but would lose
their own self-respect, and English states
manship would be dragged in the mire.
France Is Hedging.
These emphatic declarations of the
English press and public men have al
ready had certain influence across the
channel, and the inspired statements OF
the French press belittle the Importance
of Fashoda and shift the ground to an
underlined claim upon the province OF
Bahr- Ell -Ghazal and port on the Nile.
The mouthpiece of the French foreign
office is preparing France for the aban-
donment of Fashoda by asserting that
Major Marchand overshot his goal and
that instead of ging to Fashoda he ought
to have stopped at the confluence of the
Bahr- Ell Ghazal.
Many British publicists scout the idea
that France will be permitted to install
herself on the Bahr- FL GhazaI, which is
described as the paying reef of The Sou
dan. All the rest of the reconquered ter
ritory as far as Fashoda is comparatively
valueless, being mostly desert ground
which can not be made to pay COR many
years to come. But the Bahr- FL -Ghazal
territory is thickly populated and has
magnificent trade prospects. During the
governorship of the late General Cor
don, Bahr- FL Ghazal had immense ex.
ports of ivory, grain, beeswax, skins, etc.
while it contained whole forests of arrow
root. Besides, the cotton growth there
surpasses the Egyptian product.
The Chauvenist Paris papers are de-
nouncing Great Britain and are doing
their utmost to excite French feeling in
the matter. Other French papers are
making bitter complaints of Russia's in
activity.

Chairman Towne, for the Silver

Chairman Towne, for the Silver
Republicans National Committee,
strikes the keynote of the situation
in the following extract from his
recent address to his party:
eve call upon you to unite in this
great common service of citizenship
and patriotism. No man need sur
render his party convictions. No
existing organization need be aban
doned. While striving to overthrow
a common enemy, no good purpose
Is served by emphasizing points on
which We differ But until this final
assault OF the enemy upon the last
ramparts OF our industrial and social
independence is repealed; until the
control Of the money system of the
country is rescued from the hands
OF special interests and secured to
the whole people, the members of
the great armies of political reform
in every part of the United States
should act in mutual justice and
harmonious co operation for the
general welfare"

Col. john IA, Carroll,

The Republic.
Colonel John 81. Carroll, attorney
for the Burlington system, returned
yesterday from business trip of
some duration at the National Capt..
tai. He says there is more war talk
In Missouri in an hour than one
hears in Washington in a day. And
yet he says the feeling at the latter
place is not altogether against the
probabilities of trouble.
Nothing more definite 10 known
in Washington than in st. Louis, :"
he said. Possibly some OF the
heads of departments possess some
information that is withheld from
the public, but in general way the
news reaches st. Louis as quickly
and as reliably as the White House.
The people in Washington don't talk
about the likelihood of war 80 much
as they do west of the Mississippi
River, and probably this ia the
reason I Termed the impression that
they do not regard hostilities as
likely to break out between this
country and Spain. Here in my own
State it seems the public prefers to
talk over the prospects of war to
the exclusion Of all other common
topics.

Charges Against DR.. j. T. Coombs.

Fulton, Mo Feb. 25.-Fulton and

over an occurrence involving the
state lunatic asylum No. l.
It's beard of managers met at this
place in called session yesterday to
investigate charges against DR.. J. I.
Coombs, superintendent of the asy-
lum.
He was charged with beng too
intimate with female attendant. It
was sworn to that he had been seen
on one or two occasions coming from
her room late at night by the female
night watch in the women's ward.
She reported the matter to DIR.
Dudson and the waggiog tongues of
many females were set going until
things were up to fever heat.
The board was notified of the con-
dition of affairs at the asylum and
met yesterday in extraordinary ses-
sion to hear evidence in the case.
After the evidence was all in they
held a consultation with Dr.. Coombs.
He declared that he was innocent
of the charges brought against him,
but he thought it best to resign and
rendered his resignation at once.
The board then appointed DR.. W.
L. Ray of Kansas City temporary
superintendent until the second
Tuesday in March, when they will
elect a superintendent for the next
year.
The matter has created one of the
social scandals ever known

Gen. Lee bases his opinion on the
belief that, even had the Maine dis
aster not occurred, the United States
must have soon interviewed ia Cuba,
and that Spain will resent with force
such Intervention. The Consul Gen
eral said in substance that autonomy

humanity, honor and policy. He ia
certain that the President will act

is preparing for the worst, and will
welcome a struggle with America.
