TORETIREFROM FASHODA.
France Requests That Major Mar
chand Be Conducted to Cairo.
THE BRITONS ARE STILL WARLlKE

The Powerful Influence OF the Roth |
schiIds Preserves Peace-French Gov !
ernment Placed in False Position
Major Marchand Was without Base
of Supplies and Had 10 Leave Fashoda'
PARIS, France (By Cable).-France has
decided to withdraw Maj ior Marchand from
Fashoda, and has requested the Egyptian
Government to conduct him and his party
down the Nile to Cairo. 1t has arrived at
this decision on the ground that owing to
the sufferlngs OF Major Marchand and OH
his followers from lack OF supplies and
from the deadly climate their maintenance
at Fashoda is out OF the question. ;;
Moreover, 1t is now admitted at the De-?
partment OF Foreign Affairs here that
France has been placed in a false position
through the neglect OF the late Foreign
Minister, NJ Hanotaux, to notify or ac.
quaint Lord Salisbury with the dispatch OF
the Marchand expedition.
This enables the present Foreign Minis
ter. NJ. Delcasse, to withdraw from au un-i
tenable position while avoiding any re-
sponsibllty in connection herewith Dy
placing the blame for the entire trouble
upon his predecessor in office. The sub
iect of compensation to France remains for
future negotiation.
These, however, are merely the Official
reasons which are given by the Govern
ment. The true causes are OF far different
character, and are to be found In the col.
ossal influence welded In the cause OF,
peace by Baron Alphonse Rothschild here
In Paris, and by his kinsman and partner,
Lord Rothschild, in London. i
LONDON (By Cable).-Mr. George Wynd-,
ham, Under Secretary for War, in speech
at Dover, said he did rot wish to add any
thing to the British Blue Book on the
Upper Nile question. 1t was, he added.
the last thought OF the Government
to humiliate France. There was room
enough for both nations to labor with
chivalrous emulation in their separate
spheres in Africa for their development OF
the country.
Speaking at Aberystwith. Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, the Liberal leader IN the
House Of Commons, said t was the urgent
duty OF all parties to follow patriotic ira
dition and support the Government In
maintaining the country's rights in the
presence OF national difficulty, but they
ought to abstain from the language OF
vulgar swagger and menace, which was
likely to embarrass the conduct and pre-
cipitate the action OF the men upon whom
rests the heavy responsibility OF control
ling the issue.

The Berlin Germany Post is pub
fishing a series of letters from Tehe-
ran which represent the condition of
Persia as absolutely hopeless. The
writer declares that the country is
moribund, and quite incapable of Of
fering any resistance to external at
tack. He says that the internal de-
composition is spreading more and
more rapidly. All idea of patriotism
has ceased to exist, and the great ira
ditions of the country are forgotten.
There is nothing left that the Per-
slams, and especially the people of
Teheran, would not sell for piece of
silver. Gold is no longer to be seen.
The higher classes and the officials
are corrupt, and the lower orders are
shamelessly plundered, and thrown
into dangerous state Of religious ex-

teach them that all other nations are
infdels and unclean, and who fan
their contempt for Europeans by all
imaginable means. This is only when
Europeans are not present. When
they are, the Mollahs treat them with
mean servility. No Persian, he says,
high or low, thinks lying, perjury or
fraud disgraceful. On the contrary,
they are regarded as marks of wisdom

SPANISH COLONEL A THIEF.

Riot in Greenwood County.

A riot was precipitate1 at Phoenix
in Greenwood County, late yesterday
afternoon, lasting until late into the
night and, from the best information
obtainable up to this time, three whites
and three negroes were killed and one
white and fourteen negroes wounded.
Phoenix is situated twelve miles from
Greenwood, ten miles from Ninety SlN
and six miles from Bradley, the nearest
railroad station, is densely populated
with negroes and the country home OF
r. r. Tolbert, Jr., the Republican can
didate for Congress-. No information
has been received this morning as to
how the riot terminated last night; but
at ten o'clock last night, between five
hundred and thousand negroes and
whites angrily faced each other ready
to resume the battle any moment.
The voting precinct was in the store
of Lake g. Watson, at Phoenix. One
Of the Tolberts placed q box i'll the
store, near the regular managers, and
called on the negroes who were legally
disqualified to vote in this box. Man
ager ssBosen Ethridge ordered Tolbert
to remove the box. Tolbert refused to
do so. Ethridgc said he would remove
it and proceeded to do so, but was met
by volley Of shots from the negroes
and fell dead. The other two managers
opened fire on the negroes, killing
three, and the firing became general.
r. r. Tolbert and r. R. Tolbert, Jr.,
are reported dead and Thomas Tolbert
badly wounded, being shot in the head
and also cut. At 10 o'clock last night
the whites had sent for more arms and
ammunition and were being constantly
reinforced.
No further details could be learned.
1t is to be hoped that everything is
quiet this morning, with no additional
casualties. Many Of the negroes were
said to be armed with Winchester
rifles.
