London. Nov. 1.-The Daily Graphic says
is morning;
I'VE learn from an official source in
Paris that Capt paratier bears in
struetions to Maj. Marchand 70 return TO
Fashoda and then to withdraw his expe-
dition in the direction of the Upper THAN
CHI river, north of the Congo, evaeuating
Fashoda and the five posts established by
him east Of the frontier indicated in the
anglo-German agreement.
1.-THE Egyptian government win be in
vited 10 send troops to accompany Mai
Riarchand as he retires from the Bahr-el-
Ghazel territory, and to re-occupy the
posts as they are evacuated by the French,
thus solving the difficulty concerning Mai.
AIarchand's revictualment
when Maj Marchands retirement is
fully accomplished negotiations, based en-
proposals submitted by Baron de Courcel
TO Great Britain, will be opened. France
is disposed to recognize frankly that the
reconquest of Omdurman completely
changes the situation as it existed when
Mai. Marchand was instructed TO proceed
to the Nile. The French government win
even state that had Maj. Marchand been
aware of the Khedival advance he would
not have pushed his mission so far east.
'"Those intentions have not yet been Off
cially impaired to Great Britain. but they
probably will be before Mai. Marchands
evacuation commences"
without going so far as the Daily
Graphic, all the special dispatches from
Paris to the morning papers indicate that
the solution predicted by the Daily Graphic
will be the one finally reached, and that
even should France sulk automatically
no further serious consequences are antic-
ipated. 1t is not believed, however that
France wiz pursue the useless course OF
leaving her embassy in London vacant,
The acquiescence of the French people
in the Dreyfus case revision justites the
French cabinet in a conciliatory policy.
Only as a means of Withdrawing attention
from internal troubles could the French
government entertain the idea of risking
war for Fashoda, and since there is no
sign Of disorders in Paris, the whole stu
alton has changed
London, Nov. 1.-The Paris correspond
ent of the Daily Mail says:
France win retire from Fashoda uncon-
ditionally and without asking compensa-
ton.
ssIsaro, IA Courcel whose term as
French ambassador in London, expired
long ago, but who has held on to con-
duct negotiations affecting Egypt, will now
be recalled and no haste win be shown
TO appoint his successor, with view of
making French resentment at British ac-
ton, for England has almost taken the
place of Germany as the object of French
hatred
London, Nov 2-The Paris correspond
ent of the Times says:
Baron de Courcel gathered from con-
versation held after the last British cabi-
ret council that Lord Salsburys atti-
tude had undergone change, the British
premier insisting that it was impossible
10 disregard public opinion in England,
and that nothing could be done until
Fashoda was evacuated.
so far as French opinion is concerned,
there is not the slightest idea of going to
war for Fashoda, and any government do
ing so would be regarded as a government
o. imbeciies."
London. Nov. 1.--Wlliam Hayes Fisher,
one Of the Junior lords of the treasury
member of Parliament for Fulham and
ministerial whip, speaking in London this
evening, said he had seen dispatches
which enabled him to assert that the
French government had decided to recall
the Marchand mission from Fashoda.
In the course Of an interview, after the
delivery of his speech, Mr.. Fisher on be-
ing reminded that he said he had seen the
dispatches justifying his assertion of the
intention of France TO withdraw March,
and, replied that he did not say that he
had read them, remarking that he had
been misrepresented.
There is little doubt, however that
either purposely or carelessly, Mr.. Fisher
allowed the news of the actual fact 10
leak out.
London. Nov. 2.-The Berlin correspond
ent of the Standard says:
Russia has declined to support France
in the Fashoda affair, fearing that a re-
opening of the Egyptian question would in
terfere with her tremendous task IN
China"
