There Were Riots mt the Opening

lSh blue book on that subject.
Conservative newspapers express them
selves as being highly pleased with this
reioinder to the French yellow book on
the same subject. They declare it dis
pels the idea spread by the dispatch Of
the French ambassador here, Baron de
Courcel, that the premier was willing TO
negotiate ON the whole question. But
the liberal and radical organs still consid-
er the Marquis of Salisbury's attitude add
mits of negotiations promising friendly
arrangements. The entire press, however,
scouts the idea of the possession OF Fa-
shoda coming within the sphere of dis
cussion.
The French papers today are more hope
full and believe pacific solution OF the
dispute can be found.
The English papers are full of particu-
lars of naval news, but the only fresh de
velopment is an order received at Ports
mouth to prepare all ships of the fleet
and reserve for immediate mobilization.
Eight additional war ships there, in con-
sequence, commenced coaling this morn
ing and working parties were immediate
" placed on board the other reserve war
vessels at Portsmouth.
The British government will issue an
other blue book, the most important
feature of which will be a dispatch dated
October II, from the Marquis of Sails
bury to the ambassador at Paris, Sir Ed

the latter wished to ascertain what solu-
ton of the question was possible. In this
dispatch the Marquis of Salisbury SAYS;
Il generally insisted that Nile valley
had belonged and still belonged to Egypt,
and that whatever diminution that title
had suffered by the Mahdis conquest had
been removed by the victory at Omdur-
man"
Baron De Courcel then said that France
wanted an outlet to the Nile, and the
Marquis of Salisbury requested that the
whole proposition be made in writing.
This was the last interview between
the ambassador and premier on this sub
ject. Baron DE Courcel then went to Par
is, and it is thought that the proposition
which he brings embodies the points in
