(Copywright 1898 by the Associated Press
London, Jan. 29.-While the situation in
the far east continues to progress peace
fully and there is every indication of an
amicable understanding between the pow
ers, the situation in France, in the opin-
ion of well informed persons, is graver
menace TO peace. and in the present excit-
able state of the nation and shaky condt-
ton of the ministry. something is likely
to occur to disturb European peace. a
note of warning has even been sounded
by some of the French newspapers. which
urge a cessation of the present agitation
in France, pointing out that the country
should not play into the hands of Ger
many. The Petit Journal says: The
government may soon be unable to pre-
vent someone in authority from making
a statement which is liable to occasion a
conflict. We have certain proofs that
Germany foresees the possibility of war
and is making arrangements accordingly.
She means to be in the right and accuse
US Of creating trouble"
The relations between France and Great
Britain are also drifting towards crisis
The Niger negotiations in Paris have not
reached an agreement and there are no
signs of them doing so. In the mean
time. everything is tending TO take the
question out of the hands Of the diplomat
and leave it to be settled by the hands
Of soldiers.

come to an agreement with France. he
