MARCHAND QUITS FASH0DA
This is the Rumor Current in Cairo He Lacked Supplies for His For ces Queen Louise R p rted
 Dangerously Ill

London, September 29.-The Cairo core spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
 Tt is stated on good authority that Gen. eral Kitchener intends to retire from the Egyptian service. He regards his work as completed and will return to England in the middle of October. It is rumored that his eye-sight is affected.
 "On arriving at Fashoda the Sirdar shook hands with Major Marchand and they dined together the same evening. Major Marchand lacked supplies. story is current that he has left Fashoda. He received help from a local chief who is now our adherent.
 .'It is stated that the Khalifa's treasure, e1O,O00 600 in value, which was hidden in the desert, has been found and forward d here.
 Lord Edward Cecil will take Fashoda dispatches to England.
 'The British government has offered e12 to each reserve or time-expired man who is willing to re-engage with the expedition.
 A dispatch from Copenhagen says the death of Queen Louise of Denmark is mo- mentarily expected. Her majesty is uncon- scious and her pulse and respiration are almost imperceptible. Her physicians are employing oxygen to facilitate her respira- ton. The whole royal family is at her bed side.
 The morning papers publish long obituary notices, memorial articles and editorials eulogistic of former American Ambassador Bayard's career especially of his work in promoting an Anglo-American entente and recording the profound regret felt at the news of his death.
 The Times laments the gradual disap- appearance of the old generation of states men like the Bayard and Adamses, "leaving the field more open to professional pollu- cians."
 The Daily News says in reference to the Venezuelan dispute:
 "Mr. Bayard's countrymen, though then disposed to resent his intervention, must now feel that their ambassador was a bet ter prophet than they were themselves"
