LONDON, Nov. 5.-(Copyright, 1881 Th
Marquis of Salisbury's declaration on thu
subject of the withdrawal OF the French mis-
sion from Fashoda, made at the Mansion
house banquet last night, is not regarded
here as being wholly satisfactory. lhe en-
tire absence OF any reference to the sx
traor. mary naval preparations Is eonsldera
bly, commented upon, and II Is remarked
how careful the British premier was to
explain that the evacuation OF Fashoda wa;
only in the nature OF oil on troubled waters
and that British diplomacy had not yet
weathered the storm which the Marchand
mission conjured up.
The English papers point out that the
evacuation of Fashoda is only an installment
of the satisfaction expected by Great Britain
and that France has yet to swallow the pill
of withdrawing from the Bahr el Ghazal
region. Under these circumstances the de
bate in the French chamber of deputies OF
Fashoda next week is eagerly awaited, 2
the French government is then expected {,
explain its intentions regarding the r,
mainder of the French posts on the Nile al
ready established by Major Marchand.
In diplomatic circles a reassuriug impres
sion has been made by NJ Dupuys declara-
tion of yesterday evening that the French
governments policy will be based on well
understood interests and that its efforts will
be measured by the value of the objects in
view. This is held to imply that the present
government will show conciliatory attitude
on the remaining points in dispute.
The Duke of Orleans, who is now at Brus-
sells, is being closely shadowed by French
detectives, as the French government has
been warned that he is preparing for some
important movement. Detectives are living
at the same hotel as the duke and they dog
his footsteps, even ii he only crosses a cor
ridor.
The activity of Prince Louis Napoleon.
however, is causing some anxiety to the
French government. He is evidently await
ing an opportunity, and his chances are
infinitely more favorable than those of the
Duke of Orleans.
LIONS OF THE WEEK
Attention of London this week has been
mainly directed to the ceremonies in honor
of General Kitchener yesterday and to the
resumption of the exposures of Mr.. Ernest
Terrah Hooley, the bankrupt company pro
moter.
The General was the guest of Queen Vic
torla at ,Balmoral during the early part of
the week and he presented Her Majesty
with many interesting relics of the battle
of Omdurman. On Thursday the General
went through the quaint ceremony of being
admitted. to the freedom of the Fish
mongers company, and it was as a citizen
and tishmonger that he received the free
dom of the city of London on Friday
The sword of honor presented to General
Kitchener at the Guild Hall yesterday is
a magnificent specimen of the jewelers. art. |
The hilt is of solid gold surmounted by
figure of the British lion, and it be1r.
figures of Britannia and Justice and the
monogram of the General in diamonds |
rubies and sapphires and the British and
colors. The scabhard q finely ornamented
and inscribed with the names of the Sir
dar's victories. The blade is of the finest
steel, damascened near the hilt with gold.
HOOLEY'S DISCLOSURES
Mr.. Hooley's statements during Wednes-
days bankruptcy proceedings brought forth
crop OF disclaimers from titled and other
gentlemen whose participation in his profits,
nccording to Hooley's evidence. was in no
wise ereditable., Some Of these reioinders
are palpaby weak. Mr.. Hooley's revelations
regarding the Carleton Club and the part
played by the Marquis of Abergavenny and
Sir William Marriott, has caused qualms |
among the clubmen. His statements give
the key to the meaning of paragraph in |
Mr. Henry Labouchere's Truth setting forth !
that former millionaire was about to ex-
pose the committee of a great West End
club, which, having accepted money to Sc
cure his election to membership, had his |
name erased from the books without return
ing the money when he was adjudicated a |
bankrupt.
A TEMPERANCE VICTORY
The temperance party won moral vic
tory this week in attacking the sale of in
soxicants within the House of Parliament,
which is in the anomalous position OF break
ing the laws made by its members The ac-
tion was an appeal from the decision of a
magistrate who held that the licensing act
did not apply to the House of Parliament
md the appeal practically admitted that
she magistrates decision was wrong in view
