THE FRENCH AND FASHODA
The Government Backed by inc
 People.

Paris, Oct. 24.-Newspapers haTe to- day warmly praise the exposition of the French side of the Fashcda ques- tion presented by the minister of for- eign affairs, M. del Casse, in the yell low book on the subject issued y5stec- day.
 The Figaro says: If the British government rejects Frances moderate and just proposa.S it can only be be- cause the government Of Great Britain desires before anything else the humiI. iatiOn of France"
 The general tone of the Frsnch press ccmments is reflected by the Eclair, which remarks: An agreement re- garding Fashoda can be arrived at provided Great Britain doss not per sist in asking for the immediate re- call Of Majcr Marchand But as to an outlet on the Nile, we have an abso- lute right there, toe. and will brook 10 refusal.''

WHAT THE MARQUIS SAID
And What the Ambassador Under
 stood Nay Be Quite Different.

London, Oct. 24.-The afternoon pa pers here today discuss the report of the French ambassador, Bsron de Ccuriel, on the subject of the converse tion hero with the Marquis of Salis- bury regarding the proposed French outlet on the Nile as being the leading feature of the yellow book on Fashcda,
 issued yesterday by the French gov- rnment. Conservative organs scout the idea of the marquis entertaining the surrender of Bahr Ell Gazal to the French, and the Pall Mall Gazette and Globe suggest that the ambassador misunderstood the premier and they call on the latter to make some expla- nation. The liberal and radical papers are now displeased at the prospect of a compromise being arranged and they believe that provided Major Marchand is recalled the dispute is susceptible to an arrangement by which France will receive some satisfaction in the Bahy Fl Gazl district.

all kinds. The Inauguration Of any
new enterprise is made the occasion
Of some kind of exercises, and the
President and his Cabinet, State, city

trian officer named Slatin, who,
while acting as governor of a province
in the Soudan under Gordon, was
captured by the Mahdi and held a
prisoner many years. When Khar-
toum was taken Slatin was living in
hut at Omdurman, heavily chained
and exposed daily to the insults of
the mob. After the taking of the
city some Dervishes came to him with
something rolled in a cloth, and, COM
handing him to stand forth. they un-
rolled suddenly their bundle and
showed him the CORY head Of Gordon.
Afterward he learned how Gordon had
died. When Khartoum fell and the
Mahdists were swarming through the
city, Gordon came down the stairway
of his house and demanded the leader
Of the invaders. He was speared to
death where he stood, and his head
oxt off to show to the Mahdi.
The return of "The Man Who Was"
in hipling's story was no more dram
attic than the actual return to the land

Slatin Pasha, as he is known. Six

vast mass of assailing Dervishes made
thereby their rush, in two bands, just
before the British relieving force
came in sight of the white walls and
green palm groves of the city. Cor
don died at his hopeless post.
This undoubted triumph intoxicated
his followers with faith, but democrat
lied the Mahdi. He took to unbridled
luxury, and died of it's consequences
on July %, 1885. The desert ascetic,
whose bed had been a mat of straw,
expired upon Persian carpets in all
the splendor and state Of a great East
ern prince, having founded in his
brief career an empire built on the
basis of slavery and reckless blood
shed. Before death he had himself
nominated Abdullah as his successor,
who thus inherited dominion
stretching from the Bahr- el-Ghaxal to
Egypt, and from Darfur to the Red
Sea.
The new tyrant began with very
great ideas. He proclaimed that he
would conquer all Egypt, as we'll as
Abyssinia. Putting all laws on one
side, he made himself absolute master

Mahdi and his successor, the Khalifa,

guised as an Arab trader, passed him
IN the street and whispered to him
that he had been sent by Major Win
gate, Director Of Military Intelligence,
Egyptian Army, and Baron Heidler,
Austrian Ambassador in Cairo, to help
him to escape. They managed to
have several interviews, and finally
one night, after the Khalifa had gone
to bed and the city was asleep, Slatin
mounted a donkey and rode to where
the faithful Arab, Hussein, had camels
in waiting. Then long and hazard

suffering and many perils. ended in

victory gained almost the entire Sou
dan, and opened the way to the con-
quest of Khartoum.
Then the victorious and pious slave
dealer set out for Khartoum, where
the hapeless people, deceived by the
hope of English help, had fingered to
welcome Gordon. No notice was
taken of that hero's proclamations to
the Soudanese. His communications
were cut with the north, and very
soon horde numbering 100000
swarmed at the heels of the Mahdi
into Omdurman and the outskirts of
Khartoum. This was in October,

and even the valor Of King John and
his Abyssinians could not stand
against the ardor of the Dervishes.
In some districts over which he
ruled, half the people are dead, in
others the loss of life is even greater.
Whole tribes have been completely
blotted out, and in their places roam
the wild beasts, spreading and in

III that year. News was beginning to
arrive of certain Dervish wandering
in the Soudan, who was drawing all
the natives to him, and especially those
Arabs who lived by the slave trade,
which Gessi Pacha had been extirpa-

in 1851 and obtained a lieutenant's
commission when twenty years Of age.
He became captain in 1888, major in

After the Soudan campaign he was
selected to recognize the Egyptian

ability has been given by the efficiency
OF the troops under his command dur

This troublesome and extraordinary
person, with no drill Or military sci

plenty of ferocious followers, principal
ly of the Baggara race, marched through
the towns and villages of Kordofan,
and with 10000 men beseiged Ell
Obeid and took the town after one re-
pulse, cruelty numbering its brave de-
tenders.
That conquest increased the name

Khartoum sits upon the junction of
the White and Blue Nile.
Before he could master this central
position he had to confront the expe-
dition under Hicks Pacha, sent by
the Egyptian Government to Rahad.
Everybody knows the miserable issue.
The Mahdi cut that force to pieces, so
that hardly man escaped, and by this
