Former President Cleveland Helps
Celebrate the Colleges 152d
Anniversary

Princeton, n J., Oct 22.-Princeton
university celebrated its 1920 anniversary
today with appropriate ceremonies. An
imposing academy procession, in which
appeared ex-President Grover Cleveland,
A. Taylor Payne, William MilIigan
Sloane and other men of national repu-
tatiOn, passed from the library to Alex
ander hall, where the exercises were held.
The ceremonies were very simple, and af-
ter a brief review of the events which
afford the occasion and a reference to the
proposed graduates school, President
Patton introduced as the guest of honor
President Gilman Of Johns Hopkins uni
yersity.
Regarding the new political problems,
President Gilman said:
Il am not an imperialist. an expauSioG-
ist, nor a lingo. | belong to a class of
citizens who dread revolution, trust ex-
perience and are established by inherit
ance, training and reflection in the belief
that the freedom of this country from
foreign entanglements has secured it
peace and plenty, and is the basis of its
hope and faith. | feel now, as I felt in
June, that it is safer to walk in the foot
steps of the fathers than TO enter upon
the unblazoned paths of the forest, which
lead we know not where"

doctor of laws were conferred upon Abra-
ham Kuypen, D. J.. of Holland, and AL

FRANCES YELLOW BOOK.
Her Version Offsets the British Blue
Book on

Paris, Oct. 24.-The newspapers here
today warmly praise the exposition of the
French side Of the Fashoda question pre-
sented by the minister of foreign affairs,
NJ. Delcasse, in the yellow book on the
subject issued yesterday.
The Figaro says: IF the British gov
ernment rejects Frances moderate and
just propositions ii can only be because
the government of Great Britain desires
before everything else the humiliation of
France"
The general tone of the French press
comments is reflected by the Eclair, which
remarks: An agreement regarding Ea-
shoda can be arrived at provided Great
Britain does not persist in asking FOR the
immediate recall of Maj. Marchand. But
as to an outlet on the Nile, we have an
absolute right thereto and will brook no
refusals."
The steele after urging peace, says:
France would hardly come off better in
a war with England than did Spain in
the war with the United States. France
would be better employed in developing
her colonies than in thwarting England"
The Autorite declares that France
ought never to have gone to Fashoda,
adding: 1T was a stupid mistake, and
now England calls on us to get out. Well.
it is no use talking, we shall have to get
out; otherwise there will be war, which
would be madness
The Fashoda yellow book is volumin-
Gus, but it does not include Maj. March
and's report, which will be published
later. The dispatches were largely antici-
pated by the English FashOda blue book.
The diplomatic conversations recorded
show a curious endeavor On the French
side to represent that Marchand's mission
was quite as important as Gen. Kitchen
er's on the ground that the struggle was
against the khalifa and barbarism. On
September Is, M. Delcasse, the foreign
minister, informed the British ambassa-
dor to France, Sir Edmund Monson, in
explicit language that France did not re-
gard Lord Salisbury's claim to the Sou
dan by virtue of conquest as applying to
Fashoda. on the ground that the March
and expedition went to the relief
of the French expedition under
Capt. Licotard, which dated from il
period long before the declaration in the
House of Commons by Sir Edward Grey,
under secretary of state fer foreign af-
fairs IL Lord Rosebery's cabinet, as to
the policy of the British government to-
ward the Soudan and at a time when the
equatorial provinces were lost to c~iviliza-
ton. In fact, M. Delcasse argued, I'M
less Great Britain possessed the Sultan's
mandate as well as the Khedive's, to ac-
quire all former Egyptian provinces,
France considered herself equally entitled
with England to possession Of any point
occupied by French officers.

NEW ROUTE TO YUKON.
Distance for Moderate Draught
Steamers is Shortened 400
to 500 Miles.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 22.-The dis
covery of $500 miles of additional terri
tory of the United States on the Alaskan
coast. and of a new channel for Yukon
bound vessels, which will minimize dist
ance, time and danger. is officially re-
ported to Supt. Pritchett of the coast and
geodetic survey by John f. Pratt, the as
sistant in charge of the expedition which
has been working in these waters. What
the expansion of mileage of our Alaskan
territory is due TO is not known. There
is a possibility of accretion and constant
outward growth of the land since the first
charts were made. but the better opinion
is that it is due to previous inaccurate
charts, the present being the first regular
and reliable survey of the region.
The hnding of the new channel will eff
feet a saving of about 400 or 500 miles
in reaching the Yukon. AT present yes
sells destined for the Yukon region have
TO proceed up the ocean outside the long
Jar, some twenty-five miles off from the
coast up to st. Michaels, there trans
ship to small boats, which have to creep
along the coast down to the Aphoon chan
nel, 100 miles or SO below st. Michaels.
h channel carries water only two feet
over the bar at low tide.
The new channel just found is the Kus-
livak, which will carry eight feet over the
bar at low water and according to pres
ent expectations viii permit steamers of
moderate draft TO proceed directly into
the Yukon from the south and then con-
tlnue up the river 400 or 800 miles to q
safe landing before trans-shipping to the
smaller boats which viii go the remain
der of the way up the river.
Aside from shortening the distance this
Will put the Yukon region into much closer
access from the south. The party, which
has just completed its labors for the sea-
sen, is now at Seattle. where the sur
Vey maintains a branch office. 1T consist
ed of about fifty men. under six officers
of the survey, the largest party even sent
out. All are reported safe and well. The
work Of the party was of a dangerous
character They had to Work outside the
bar, which was many miles out to sea. in
order to do the sounding in the deep wa
ter. This kept them out of sight of the
coast frequently. They carried two
steam launches of about fifty tons capaci-
ty and about Is feet long. All the infor-
nation obtained will be embodied in a
chart, which will be ready for the use Of
navigation in time for the first parties go
ing up next spring, so as to afford the
greater safety to navigation for ali that
region.
The work on the chart, under strict or
ders that nave just been given, will be
pushed through with great yigor. The
same party will return to their work next
spring to complete the surveys and the
channel will be buoyed as soon as pos
sible.

LONDON PRESS COMMENT.
Recall of Maj. Marchand Seems to be
Basis of Compromise.

London, Oct. 24-The afternoon news
papers here today discuss the report Of
The French ambassador, Baron de Courcel,
Oh the subject of the conversation he had
with the Marquis of Salisbury regarding
the proposed French outlet on the Nile, as
being the leading feature of the yellow
book on the Fashoda question issued yes
terday by the French government.
The Conservative organs scout the idea
of the Marquis of Salisbury entertaining
the surrender of the Bahr-el-Ghazal val
ley to the French and the Pail Mall Ga
zette and the Globe suggest that the am
bassador misunderstood the premier and
call on the latter to make some eXplana-
ton.
The Liberal and Radical papers are not
displeased at the prospect of a compro~
mise being arranged, and they believe that
provided Maj. Marchand is recalled the
dispute is susceptible to an arrangement
by which France will receive some salts
faction in the Bahr-el-Ghazal district.
The British admiralty issued a mum
Der of significant orders this morning.
The dockyards at Portsmouth, Davenport
and Chatham have each received instruc-
tons to prepare six 30-knot torpedo
boat destroyers for commissioning so that
they will be able to put to sea in twenty
-four hours. Overtime hours have begun
on the irst-class cruisers Europea and
A~ndromeda so as to hurry them for sea
service. Several g%unboats in the different
dockyards have been ordered to postpone
unnecessary refitting.
Finally, the Cunard line and White
Star line have received from the ad-
miralty an intimation to hold their sub
sidized steamers in readiness for turning
over TO the navy officials.
In spite of the news of the warlike mo-
bliizations which came from France and
different parts of England today. with
the decline in rentes and consols, there is
a distinctly better feeling in diplomatic
circles tonight and a growing belief that
the Fashoda dispute will be arranged.
The drop in the price of consols was
largely due to important Withdrawals of
gold by Scotch and Irish banks, which.
however, is usual at this time Of the year.

SPAIN GIVEN TINE.
Complete Evacuation Of Cuby Not
Expected Before the First
of the Year.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 24.-The Pres
ident had an exceedingly busy forenoon
today. Attorney-General Griggs and
Secretaries Long, Hay and Alger called
about 10 o'clock and the President dis
cussed with them several matters which
he found awaiting his attention on his
arrival from the West.
a telegram from Gen. Wade at Ha-
yana was read recommending that the
limit of time allowed the Spaniards to va
cate Cuba be extended from December 1
to January /. He said that it would be
physically impossible for the 124. 900
Spanish troops now on the island to leave
before the first of the year and he regard
ed the extension of time as reasonable
and just.
After the matter had been discussed at
some length an agreement was reached
and Gen. Wade was telegraphed that his
recommendation was approved. In the
meantime, however, the United States
troops now in Cuba and others to be dis
patched will take possession of the terri
tory as fast as the Spaniards vacate it.
probably leaving Havana until the last.
In regard to the reported purpose of the
Spaniards to dismount and remove to
SPAN the heavy ordnance Of the forts
and arsenals about Havana, it was stated
IN positive terms that nothing of the kind
would be permitted and if this movement
mad already begun it would be stopped at
once. The instructions given our evacua-
ton commissioners at Havana covered all
OF these questions and explicitly provided
that only the arms in the hands of the
troops and what is generally understood
as lmpedimenta would be permitted to
be taken away.
Nothing of special Importance has been
received recently from our peace commits
sloners at Paris. 1t was again reiterated
today that under no circumstances would
the United States assume any part of the
so-called Cuban debt or the debt charged
against the Philippine islands. 1t might
be possible that the United States would
assume or guarantee the municipal obi
cations of Havana or other Cuban cites.
or at least would not permit them 10 be
repudiated. The same might be true of
Manila. but as to the national debt which
Spain had seen fit to charge against Cuba
or the Philippines, neither would be as
sumed or in any sense guaranteed. This
policy, it was declared, our peace commits
sioners will understand, and it would not
be receded from in the slightest degree.
