PLEASED WITH PREMIER's STAND.
Britishers DO Not Believe France VIII
Press Ita Claims Mt Eashoda.

h'rehs lt6 tAalmH ut FAsnOuas
LONDON, Oct. 10.--The comments in pub
lie and in the newspapers show that tho
marquis Of Salisbury's determined stand on
the occupation OF Fashoda has come as a
most agreeable relief and as disposing of all
theories of compromise. No whisper Of dis
sent Is heard anywhere. Both friends and
opponents Of the premier are rejoicing In
the publishing of the blue book on Fashoda,
in which he has burned his bridges behind
him.
While it is recognized that the situation by
this publication has become more difficult
for France, there is almost entire absence OF
disposition anywhere to believe that
France proposes to press its claims to the
point Of danger and this confidence was dem
onstrated by the capital tone of the stock
exchange after momentary scare and such
comment as comes from Paris also tends to
abate alarm.
The Matin, which is directly inspired by
the French officers and which was foremost
in urging extremist views, voices today the
more pacific mood which is apparently OBJ
tanning in Paris. 1t says:
I'VE shall probably not risk a war with
Great Britain for nominal sovereignty over
a territory at an immense distance from
our possessions on the Atlantic They are
as inaccessible from our coast as the noun
tainS IN the moon. We can retain our honor
without retaining Fashoda. Prudence should
prevent us from overlooking ourselves with
too much territory. We must be colonial,
but in moderation"
The newspapers of Paris this evening take
a calm view of the situation and plead for
moderation. They express a sincere desire
for friendly settlement of the question
when Major Marchands report arrives.
A prominent member of the French en-
bassy in London expressed these views Of the
situation this evening:
! THE advent of the French and the Brit
ish on the upper Nile ought not to be re-
guarded as the meeting of opposing policies,
but as the clash of commercial interests
which should be carefully defined and en-
bodied in a permanent agreement. The war,
! which has not been provoked by the ques-
tion OF Egypt, will certainly not break out
over the upper Nile questions. The issues
at Fashoda will be settled in a friendly man
ner to the general satisfaction, but an agree
ment will be much more readily reached
when the newspapers of the two countries
cease exciting public opposition"

Output and Prices.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-The Journals Osh-
kosh. Wis, special says: The consolidation
of all the furniture factories in the north
west is contemplated and a movement now
on foot with that end in view seems likely
to be successful.
This gigantic scheme has for some time
been projected and there has been consid-
cradle correspondence on the subject by
the various firms interested. OF late the
plan has taken more tangible form and a
committee has been in conference with the
large manufacturers to ascertain their
views. This committee held a meeting to-
day with local manufacturers and details
were disclosed.
For years past there has been very
small margin Of profit in the furniture
making industry. The present scheme is to
place the companies under one general
head, by which the output can be controlled
territory fairly distributed and expense OF
management decreased

Mrs ]. J. Kunkel, whose husband is now
under arrest, charged with having poisoned
her to secure the insurance covering her life,

MIssOURIANs AT A LOVE FEAST.

short but Enthusiastic Reception
Held mt State Headquarters.
The Missourians, who were on the grounds
In large numbers yesterday, held short
love feast at their exhibit In. the Agricul-
ture building at 2 o'clock. President Ster-
rett OF the Missouri commisson called the
gathering to order and in speaking Of the
states part in the exposition said among
other things:
l will stop for a moment to say that there
seems to be too prevalent opinion that
the exhibits from Missouri are not worthy
Of its position as the empire state OF the
transmississippi country. 1t is true ttat
we have not been able to spend all that was
desirable in the purely artistic and oina-
mental features, and vet there is no state
represented here that has larger number
of actual specimens displayed. Our agri-
cultural exhibit is frst-clsss. Our dairy
exhibit attracts more attention than all
other butter exhibits on these grou2ds. Our
live stock has been awarded more premiums
than that of any other state here repre-
sented. Our educational. woman's work and
negro work are in the front rank. Our
mining exhibit is better from commercial
standpoint than that displayed at the Worlds S
fair. Our horticultural exhibit will easily
rank first in superiority. We desire to
prove these facts to the 10000 Missourians
on the grounds today.
In closing Mr.. Sterrett introduced Lieu
tenant Governor Bolte, who represented the
state in the absence OF Governor stephens.
His address, which was very short was
directed to thanking the officials OF the
exposition for their kindness in setting
apart a day for the Missourians. Continu-
ing he called attention to the fact that
Missouri is the fifth state in the union in
| population; that the output OF ats mines
| exceeds that OF England; that 1t is in the
| front rank in the raising OF live stock; that
| it furnishes the markets with more mules
than any other state; that its corn and
wheat are the best In quality grown In any
| state.
The lieutenant governor was followed by
! State Senator r. w. Major, who delivered
| tho Grafton for Missouri. He said that no
exhibition that had ever been brought to-
| gether showed in so startling manner the
| wealth OF the imperial west. He took pride
| in the part that his native state had In
It, speaking in eloquent terms OF the bound
less resources of the state. Among other
claims TO distinction he said that Missouri
had the largest available school fund OF
any state in the union. From this he
passed on to a splendid exposition OF the
advantages OF education. He next took vi
the ever-inspiring theme of the fair women
of his state saying that whatever spurs
the men have won the women placed theii
armor ON. He concluded with an eulogy
on the Missouri soldiers who, he said, were
the first to respond 10 the presidents cal
for troops. The sons OF the blue and the
gray, bound by the ties of reunited coun-
try, manned the guns at the PASSING o
Ceryera and stormed the heights OF e
Caney and San Juan.

The ceremonies OF Mayors day were

admitted their inability to compete with the
manifold attractions which the beautiful
weather was allied with ouside and the
speeches were cut short in order to leave
the people free to participate in the other
amusements OF the day. The program was
designed merely as the Official opening of
the Jubilee and this was accomplished with
a grace that lost nothing by it's brevity.
The exercises were introduced by a selec-
tion by Innes' band and an impressive nvo-
cation by Rev. T. ]. Mackay. who prayed the

In response Mayor George T. Baker Of
Davenport paid a high tribute to the ex-
position, which. he declared, is a wonderful
educator. We have always believed In the
Missouri valley and this is an enterprise
That Will remain a credit to the transmits
sissippi country through all the future.
Mayor John Macvickar OF Des Moines
said this celebration glorifies the best part
OF war; the end of 1t. He spoke OF the
vast scope OF the enterprise and from this
selected for his subject THE Man Who
Wants to Come Home" He declared that
IL there is one thing more than another that
glorifes American citizenship 1t is the read
mess Of the people to serve their country In
Its hour of peril and their determination not
10 live on soldiers pay when their
services were no longer needed. The war
has gone outside OF its original object, which
was to rescue the starving reconcentrados of
Cuba, and he contended that the government
should be able to meet the responsibilities
that remain without keeping men on garri-
son duty. He urged that the man who wants
to come home should have his own way as
soon as he can be spared, and that his work
should not be undone by attempting to set
up bogus imperialism.
President Wattfes was expected to close
the program with an address, but he said
that what he had to say referred mainly to
the beauties of the grounds and buildings
and their artistic embellishments. He sug-
gested that these would speak more elo-
ouently to the visitors than any words that
he could offer, and consequently dismissed
the crowd to enjoy the attractions of the
show.
AT o'clock the visiting mayors, with their
wives. were entertained at lunch at Markets
cafe by the officers of the exposition ard the
Bureau of Entertainment.
