TROOPS ARE PREPARED.
France Ready for Attack Marchand's Report
Received by Telegraph from Cairo.

Paris, Oct. 21.-Captain Baratier of
Major Marchand's expedition. on mis-
arrival at Cairo with the report for his
government. said the mission had not
lost an officer or a soldier. He added
that the health of all the members of
the party was very good and that re-
victualing on the march was easy
Major Marchand's report. telegraph
ed from Cairo was received during the
night. 1t does not mention the arrival
at Fashoda of General Kitchener and
only gives an account of the incidents
of the expedition, with an elaborate
description of the route followed, the
points occupied, the manner of occupa-
ton, the raising of the flag, the force
left at each point and the treaties of
submission concluded with the tribes,
in addition to referring to an encounter
with the Dervishes.
The report only goes as far as the
beginning of September and says that
on August 90. the supplies of the party
We're abundant.
The reason for the omission of any
mention of the arrival of Gen. Kitch-
ener at Fashoda is said to be the fact
that the report of Major Marchand was
not ready when Captain E;aratier left
Fashoda. When the captain started
from the place he did not think he
would go beyond Khartoum. Major
Marchand however, deemed it advis
able to send the finished portion of the
report, intending to dispatch the re-
mainder of it when Captain Baratier
returned. But the captain on arriving
at Omdurman, found instructions tell
ing him to go on to Carlo, from which
place he will proceed to France.
1t is believed in certain quarters that
Captain Baratier is the bearer of a
verbal report that the French author
tiles were not willing to trust upon the
British telegraph lines

munition and his camp outfit and the
officers of all the four regiments of that

War Cloud Makes Celebration Of Trafalgar Day
Particularly Enthusiastic.

London, Oct. 21.-Governlnent circles
mere are apparently satisfied that the
Fashoda question will not lead to war.
At theSame time the determination is
reiterated not to bulge from the po-
sition which the British government
has taken up, no matter what the out
come may be. 1t is said on good
authority that the British government
has also determined not to brook un-
reasonable delay that in the event of
France declining to evacuate Fasho Ia
the Marchand party will be removed
from that place, although it is not ex-
pected that it will be necessary to go
to such extremes.

Hthe British admiralty has issued or

CONFIDENT OF WHINING.
Bates Boys Think They Can Down Bowdoin on
the Gridiron- College News.

Lewiston. Me-, Oct. 2f-(SpeciaD.-
The Bates College Debating League
held their annual business meeting.
Monday noon. The following officers
were elected for the ensuing year;
President. Catheron, 90; vice presi-
dent, Ware. '01; secretary, Miss True.
90; treasurer. Jordan, 01; executive
committee. Churchill 80, Merrill '99.
Robbins 'a9. Mari OF; Childs 'O2.
A committee was appointed to Sc
cure the services of some of the emf
nent men of Maine to lecture before
the league. Hon. Nelson Dingley, nj.
c., will be the first lecturer, and he will
address the students sometime next
week.
The work on the new athletic field is
rapidly progressing. The Portland
Piping Co. recently made gift to the
athletic association for the purpose of
draining the field, of $50 worth of pipe.
D. I. Morse 90, has been appointed as
sistant manager Of the foot ball team.
All the interest in foot ball, both in
the college and around the city, is con-
centrated on the Bates -Bowdoin game,
which is to be played in Lewiston, in
Lee park. Oct. 20. These teams have
not net before, this season, and the
only way of judging the respective
merits of each is by comparing each
team record. with other teams which
they have played and this of course is
very uncertain. Bates has defeated
the U. of NJ twice; the first time by a
score of sc to at Orono, and the last
time by score of "a to at Lewiston,
when the u. of Nj. team was considered
much stronger than when Bates played
them. week before.
BOwdoin defeated the same team by
score of % to 0. On the other hand
Bowdoin defeated N. H. State college
by score of SO to 0, while Bates beat
them 80 to 0. However, in the game
with N. II. State Coolidge, Bates in the
second half played nearly all substi-
tuteS. then making the score smaller
when she could have made it much
larger.
The boys are full of courage that
they can beat Bowdoin and will work
hard for that end. At all events it
will be one of the most interesting
games of foot ball ever witnessed on
the Maine gridiron, and will be quick
snappy game from start to finish. The
Bates eleven have played scientifi..
foot ball this season and have clearly
demonstrated the ability of Hoag as
coach. Childs 'Q2, is making a strong
man at center and every man on the
team is working hard. The only game
which Bates plays before Bowdoin, is
with Phillips Exeter Academy at Ex-
eter, Oct. %.
Pomeroy SO. is teaching algebra in
the Lewiston High school. this fall.
Tetley 49, has returned from New
Hampshire. where he has been coach
ing the foot ball team.

OF EXCEPTIONAL INTEREST.
Trafalgar Day Widely Celebrated in England
War Cloud Increases Enthusiasm.

Of the anniversary of the battle OF
Trafalgar, fought Oct. q, 1905 when
the British fleets under Admiral Mel

fleets of Spain and France, command

The cause of the increased Outburst
of patriotism here is the dispute With
France over the Fashoda question,
which in some quarters is looked upon
as a matter which may possibly bring
about war between these two coun-
tries. The Nelson column on Trafal-
gar square was profusely decorated

Countless homes in every city in
America have been saved from the sad
loss of some despairing member by
Paine's celery compound.
The story of the life-work of the
discoverer of this world-famed remedy
is familiar to most readers. The like
ness of Dartmouth's greatest professor,
Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., Ii. D.,
given above. is the best portrait of him
yet printed.
Excepting its handful OF magnifi-
cent statesmen and it's military he
roes," says the most recent writer upon
ard critic of America, 1.-The people owe
more to Dartmouths physician teach
er than to any other one man.
I'm every walk of life, among the
highest office holders at the national
capital, in the homes of the best peo-

day folks of the country, families in
comfortable circumstances. families
that live from hand to mouth, and
could not, if they wished, afford the
services of any but an ordinary physi-

whom Paine's celery compound has
been a blessing"
1t was the world-famed discovery by
Prof. Phelps of an infallble cure for
those fearful ills that result from an
impaired nervous system and impure
blood which has endeared the great
doctor to the world, and male his life
an era in the practice of medicine.
Prof. Phelps was born in Connecticut
and graduated in medicine at Yale.
His unusual talent soon brought him

1t is the only specific recognized and
prescribed today by the best physi-
clans for diseases arising from de-
biltated nervous system. For such
complaints Paine's celery compound
succeeds again and again where every
thing else fails.
No remedy was ever so highly recon-

Paine's celery compound stands
without competition for feeding ex-

strength of the body. 1t cures radical

gain in weight and good spirits follow
the use of Paine's celery compound. 1t
is the most remarkable medical
achievement of this last half of the
