For Disappearing Guns.

Cleveland, Nov. 1.-The Walker
Manufacturing company OF this city
has just finished the first of the eleven
carriages for the Buffington-C rozier
disappearing guns, for which it was
awarded the contract last April by the
government. A test shows that every
thing about the big machine works
with the smoothness and accuracy Of
clockwork, the carriage being turned
in five seconds. The carriage weighs
100000 pounds and the gun $4,000
pounds. Notwithstanding its great
weight the gun is so balanced that it
can be operated by hand If necessary.
When finally mounted, however, all it's
movements will be controlled auto
matically, except the loading and aim
ing. The gun will rise by the power Of
CONFERENCE.-The, and its recoil will send
it back again. The Walker company
expects to finish a carriage every thir-
ty days until all are completed.

FRANCE WILL YIELD FAsHoDA.
VIII Raise the Whole Egyptian question
and Drag Other Powers Into 1t.


Paris dispatches say, on reliable au-
thority, that the Fashoda question will
be settled favorably to Great Britain
by the recall of Maj. Marchand.
France yields all, reserying only the
question of the right To the Bahr-el-
Ghazel district, which she does not
consider as belonging to Egypt.
Nj. Delcasse, however, has now de-
cided to raise the whole Egyptian
question. When the question is thus
enlarged, France will not be alone
Egypt interests all the powers. Rus
STA has promised NJ. Delcasse its most
effective assistance and besides, Ger
many has the biggest interest,
in view of her East African possessions
and trade in the far east, that the Suez
canal should not become exclusively
British, and is disposed to support
Franco-Russian arguments for def
mite settlement of the Egyptian ques-
tion

NEW CABINET FOR FRANCE.
M. Dupuy Has Announced His
Selections.
IMPORTANT CHANGES MADE
Gen. De Freycinst Minister of War, NJ.
Delcasss at the Head of Foreign
Affairs - Production OF the Secret
Dossier IL Now Looked for.

Paris, Nov. 1.-The new cabinet is
constituted as follows: M. Dupuy, pre-
mier and minister of the interior; M.
Lebitt, minister of justice; M. De Frey
cinet, minister of war; M. Lockroy,
minister of marine; M. Delcasse, min
lister of foreign affairs; NJ. Peytral,
minister of finance; M. Leygus, Minis
ter of public instruction; M. Deloncle,
minister of commerce; M. Guillaine,
minister Of the colonies; M. Vigier,
minister of agriculture; M. Krantz,
minister of public works.
Paris is cool and tranquil. Few evil
dences are to be seen Of the great crisis
through which the nation is passing.
The anti-Semitic papers vaiply endeav-
or by abusing the judges of the court
OF cessation 20 lash the public into a
hostile demonstration, but the people
seem rather inclined to resent the cul-
pability or imbecility of the high Off
GERS Of the general staff who allowed
themselves to become the prey Of I'M
scrupulous forgers.
This refers especially to the officers
deputed to investigate the Dreyfus az
fair. 1t is believed even now that i'm
portant facts are being concealed in
order to shield the headquarters staff.
Most of the Paris papers approve the
decision Of the court of cessation, al
though the Gaulois and the Eclair de-
clare that even now revision is by no
means certain. The Liberte bows to
the decision, but does not think it will
end the agitation.
The Figaro announces that Comte
Esterhazy has been deprived of his
membership in the Legion of Honor.

and climate from Il few small crops
raised in your country and handled
by our warehouse in the past, that
there is no part of the United States
that can grow better Burley tobac
co and grow it more to perfection
than yours, and statistics show,
which is beyond contradiction,
that communities adapted to the
cultivation of tobacco are more
prosperous and have q higher
credit than communities that grow

they hesitate. There IS no crop
that takes less land; a man with
three acres of land can make more
than ON 20 acres in corn and

that raise and intclligihly handle to-
bacco, You find local banks with
