MARCHAND INSTRUCTED TO
WITHDRAW tkUM FASHODA.
EGYPT RE-occuPYs POSTS
Daily Graphic of London Prints a
Paris Dispatch Asserting That
French VIII Evacuate Disputed
Territory-Wiliam Hayes Fisher
Corroborates the Graphic's Story.

London, Nov. 1.-THE Daily Graphic
says it has learned from political Of
fetal source In Paris that Marchand
has been instructed to withdraw his
expedition in the direction of the Up
per Ubangi river, deserving Fashoda
and the five posts established by him
on the eastern frontier indicated in the
Anglo German agreement. The
Graphic says: THE Egyptian govern
ment will be invited to send troops to
accompany Marchand as he retires
from the Bahr-el-GhaZil territory and
re-occupy the posts as they are evacu-
ated by the French officers, thus solv-
ing the difficulty concerning Mar
Glands reyictualment. When Mar
chand's retirement is fully accom-
plished, negotiations based on the pro-
posals submitted by Baron de Courcel
to Great Britain will be opened.
France Is disposed to recognize frank
y that the reconquest of Omdurman
completely changes the situation"
London, Nov. 2.-William Hayes
Fisher, one OF the junior lords OF the
treasury, member of parliament for
Fulham and ministerial whip, speak
ing In London last evening said he had
seen dispatch which enabled him to
assert that the French government had
decided to recall the Marchand mis-
sion from Fashoda
In the course OF an interview after
his speech Fisher, on being reminded
that he had said he had seen dispatch
es justifying his assertion of the in
tention Of France to withdraw Mar
chand, replied that he did not say that
he had read them, remarking that he
had been unsupported. There is
little doubt, however, that either pur-
posely or carelessly Fisher allowed the
news of the actual fact to leak out,

NEW LOCOMOTIVES.
Northwestern Passenger Trains to BE
Provided with Monsters.

Deep snow and billiards. will inter-
fere very little with. train service on
the Northwestern road this winter. In
fact, it is doubtful If it will interfere
at all. The reason is that most of the
passenger trains are to be provided
with brand new locomotives that
weigh twice as much as the old ones
and can distance them in speed The
days OF the fortyton locomotives with
their four drivers have about passed.
nose to be used hereafter are similar
TO those now pulling the st. Paul and
Chicago passenger trains through Mad
lson They weigh eighty tons and pos
sess six drivers. They haul with ease
the heaviest train allowed by law and
are capable of reaching a high rate of
speed and of maintaining it regardless
o. snow, wind or rain. The trouble
with the present old-style locomotive
is that it can not keep up to schedule
time unless the track and weather are
in favorable condition. The new To-
connective gains much time over the old
one in being able to get under Roadway

Clergymen who receive half-fare per-
mits from western roads next year
will be permitted to use them over a
much wider territory. They also will
be obliged to pay 81 to cover the eX-
pense of issuing the permits, instead
of fifty cents, as at present. This was
decided upon at recent meeting in
which the lines of the Western Pas
senger association and the Southwest
ern Passenger association participated
1t was agreed that the two should is
sue joint permit good over the ter
ritory of both organizations As this
involved the handling of permits by
the officials OF both bureaus, the fee

Beaver Dam, Wis. Nov. adam
Hammer of this city became suddenly
insane Tuesday and, securing a gun,
wounded nine men and finally was
shot himself to prevent his doing
further injury. Hammer was en-
ployed in the machine shops of the
Rowell Manufacturing company. He
was a good worker, but at times had
spells of supposed insanity, the result,
it is said, of religious excitement. His
peculiar ways made him the butt for
practical jokes. Tuesday some one
placed some tacks on the stool where
he worked and where he sat. 1t
caused him to get angry and to have
row with a workingman named Ben
nett in which he got the worst of it.
He left the shop and went to hard
ware store where he rented shotgun,
which was loaded with 25 shells and,
taking up position south of the main
building of the plant, kept everyone
at bay for over an hour
and shot several employees
through the windows. His brother
appeared to mollify him when he said:
Get back or | will fix you also" He
shot at all who came in sight. Finally
Lieutenant Arthur T. A. Tibbetts, Co.
*, I'd regiment, who has reputation
for good craftsmanship, was selected
by the marshal to shoot Hammer.
Lieut.. Tibbetts shot Hammer in the
right shoulder with a thirtytwo cali
Der rifle, causing him to drop his gun,
and he was quickly arrested by the
marshal and taken to the lookup,
where his wounds were dressed. They
were found not to be serious. The list
OF the wounded is as follows: Theo-
dore B. Rowell, shot in the face and
head: William Chatfield shot in the
leg; Marshal Edward Powderly, shot
in the face; Michael Nieman, shot
twice at close range, dangerously
wounded in the side and leg; Justice e.
Lyons, shot in the right eye, may lose
the eye; c. w. SchlaebitZ, shot in the
head; John Gerge, shot in the face;
William Giese, shot in the face; Carl
Norphal, shot in the leg. Two Others
received slight scratches.

HOAR AGAINST EXPANSION.
The Massachusetts Senator Protests
Against Territorial Accession.

Worcester Mass, Nov. "A large
and enthusiastic audience greeted Sen
ator George Hoar in the Mechanics
hall last night. Senator Hoar said:
This year has been crowded with
history and crowded with glory. 1t
is also, to my mind, crowded with
danger The danger is that we are to
be transformed from q republic found
ed on our declaration of independence,
guided by the counsels of Washing
ton, into vulgar, commonplace en-
pire founded upon physical force
1t is said Porto Rico is already ours.
1t may be that Cuba is to become ours.
But there is no authority under the
constitution of the United States to
acquire any foreign territory, save by
a treaty approved by the senate by a
two-thirds vote, or by an act of legis-
lation in which the president house of
representatives and senate must unite.
1t is said the Philippine islands are
already ours by right of conquest
For one, | deny this alleged right of
conquest. Human beings-men, wo-
men, children, peoples-are not to be
won as spoils of war or prizes in bat
tie. 1t may be that such a doctrine
finds place in the ancient and

Chicago, Nov. although the pro
tests are said to have not yet arrived
1t was said tuesday that the Uniyer"
slty of Wisconsin would prefer against
some of the Chicago football players,
amongst them being Gordon Clarke
and G. j. Rogers. The former player,
who Is one OF the best backs that ever
played at the university, confessed
that the charge OF receiving money
for importing football knowledge at
Tarhio college, no, was true ana then
resigned from the football team. Or
course he Will be barred from further
participation In Chicago university
athletics. When Clarke left the high
school at Omaha he was asked to take
the place OF player who had been
engaged to coach the TarkiO team for
week or 50. Clarke did this, but
previous to taking The position he
wrote to his brother, who was then at
tending the University OF Chicago,
and asked whether he would be
able to try for the teams at the
university, which he was then thinking
OF entering, II he coached. His brother
wrote back that he could do so with
out impairlng his amateur standing,
which, under the then existing circum-
stances and rules was perfectly true,
but after he had been ut the university
about four months the presidents
rules" were agreed upon and he saw
thai he was unable to take part In ath-
letlcs. Accordingly he took means to
restore the money which he had re-
CeiNed, but 1t was returned AS the ath-
leLiC association ut Tarkio had dis
banded and the money came back to
Clarke. Then the schools passed the
new rules which are In vogue at pres
cnt. Clarke said Tuesday. Il
have been waiting for this action for
some time and knew that since many
persons knew Of my experience at
TarkiO that would be forced
to resign sooner or later. But tried
my best to TX the matter up at the
time when ! thought | would be able
10 clear myself, but the unfortunate
condition OF affairs at Tarkio made It
such that | was unable to slralghtcn
myself out.

barbarous laws OF war, but 1t has no
place under an American constitution.
Some of our good friends say thought
lessly in their zeal that where the
American flag goes it must stay. But
surely they cannot wish to commit the
country to that doctrine. We planted
it in the city Of Mexico, but no man
dreamed it would stay there. II the
war goes on we shall plant it on the
coast of Spain, but we have no desire
to hold permanent dominion there. II
the Philippine islands become ours,
then under the late decision Of the SUI
preme court every child hereafter
born in them becomes an American
citizen, free to come, free to go. Are
YOU going to hold them as subjects?
Are you going to have a trained and
governing class? Are you going to
have national taX-gatherer, the most
frequent and bestknown visitant to
every American house? Are you go
ing to increase many fold your nation
al debt? These things are involved in
this wild and impassioned cry for en-
pirc. For myself, | disbelieve and hate
the notion that the American people
are to submit to such Il transforma-
ton"

DEER SEASON ON.
Decrease Expected in the Number of
Licenses Granted.

The deer season opened Tuesday and
will continue for 20 days. A number
of local sportsmen are in the field but
there will probably be quite a decrease
in the number of licenses issued. A
resident of the state is entitled to a
license upon payment of one dollar. In
addition he pays ten cents for a rev.
enue stamp and fee of twenty-five
cents to the clerk. Armed with this
license the hunter is permitted to kill
two deer. This is the limit for one
season. Attached to the license are
two coupons. One coupon must be at
tached to each carcass or part of car
cass shipped. If not attached trans
portation companies are forbidden to
handle the carcaSses under penalty
of heavy fine.
Certain counties are specified by
statute as counties frequented by deer
and it is only in these counties that
licenses can be issued. The counties
thus designated are: Adams, Ashland,
Barron, Bayfield,, Buffalo, Burnett,
Brown, Chippewa, Clark, Douglas,
Dunn, Eau Claire, Florence, Forest,
Iron, jackson, Juneau, Ianglade, Ke-
waunee, Lincoln, Marathon, Marinette,
