England Thinks France VIII Evacuate
Fashoda.
LONDON, Oct. 2.-Government cir
cles here are apparently satisfied that
the Fashoda question will not lead to
war. At the same time, the determin-
alton is reiterated not to bulge from
the position which has been taken up,
no matter what the outcome may be.
It is said on good authority that the
government has also determined not to
brook unreasonable delay, and that,
in the event Of France declining to
eyacuate Fashoda, the Marchand party
will be removed from that place, al
though it is not expected that it will
be necessary to resort to such ex-
tremes.

the Tropics.
Gen. Greedy, the chief signal officer,
who has watched the health of the
soldiers with much interest and has
made some investigation on his own
account, said this afternoon he had
learned from the experience Of foreign
armies that the chances of men dying
in tropical climates is twice as great
among men who have not reached 20
years of age as among those who have
passed that age. He has put this
knowledge to practical use in assign
ing men of his corps to duty in Cuba
and Porto Rico, and whenever 1t was
practicable sent the men who had
passed the age when they were al
most certain to escape the diseases
1eculiar to tropical climates. He has
also observed that the soldiers who
we're sent to Cuba were in good
health for 16 days and then there was
l general breakdown. Another inter-
sting point in connection with the

Seven FruitIess Sessions of Peace
Commission.
AMERICANS STANDING FIRM.
Spanish Diplomats Try to Avert as Long
as Possible the Final Reply to Amerl-
can Commission-United States Repro
sentatives Exhibit Much Patience.

PARIS, Oct 22.-The joint session of
the peace commission yesterday lasted
from 2 p. m. to 4:30 p. m. During this
time the commissioners discussed the
second series of written arguments put
forward by the Spaniards for the pur-
pose of prevailing upon the American
commissioners to assume the Cuban
debt. No definite conclusion was
reached and the commissioners ad-
journed until Monday, when the Cuban
question will again be discussed. 1t
is probable that this feature of the
negotiations will be disposed of next
week.
Thus far there have been seven joint
sessions, four of which have been de-
voted to the discussion of the first ar
ticle of the protocol. In this manner
two weeks have passed and no result
has been reached. The American com
missioners have listened to all the ar
guments Of the Spaniards, but they
have not changed the position which
they first assumed in refusing to take
over the Cuban debt.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Standard says: "The displeasure and
disappointmentfelt in official circles
at the failure in the skillful strategy
of Senior Montero Rios, concerted with
Senior Sagasta and Duke Almodover de
Rios, to minimize the consequences of
the war are keen and profound. Senior
Rios foresaw that all depended upon
inducing the American commissioners
even implicitly to admit the Spanish
views of the protocol. He used the in
cidents of the evacuation commissions
in Cuba and Porto Rico to sound the
opinions of the Americans, and he
tried to ascertain their views regard
Tag the Philippines by renewing the
Spanish protest against Americas veto
of Spain's proposal to send war vessels
to reinforce the Spanish commanders
holding out at various ports, and by
asking for the liberation of Aguinal-
dos prisoners.
Then both commissions offere writ
ten suggestions as to definite treaty.
Senior Ri IS drew up strong case in
reply to the American proposals. The
American commissioners, perceiving
what Spain was driving at, distinctly
and courteousiy put it upon record
that President Mckinley had only con-
sented to suspend hostilities after
Spain had solemnly accepted the ire
ducible basis for peace treaty clearly
laid down in the protocol, in order to
avoid misunderstanding"

SORROWS OF A MONARCH.
Result of Installing q Retired Washer
woman In His Place.

woman In His Place.
Some years ago the great king OF
Samoa lived in solitary grandeur in his
palace, that is, in the three-roomed
cottage furnished him by the United
States. He was virtuous and conse-
quently he was happy-or should have
been, according to the old tradition.
But In the nearby neighborhood there
lived and moved and had her being.
big, healthy woman, erstwhile washer
woman to the officers Of the naval
ships stationed in Apia harbor. How
the great king ever came to cast
sleeps eyes at the woman will ever
remain mystery. But history shows
that he did, and that she did duly
take her place in his palace, and was
greeted as Queen TUT This went
along all right for a time, but one day
the government bethought itself that
Queen TUT was not a Samoan and
ought to be ousted, and make room
for native queen in her place. They,
therefore, proposed to parade the
handsomest young ladies Of the island,
up and down before the palace, thus
basely tempting the king from his al
legiance to her of the banished tubs.
Then 1t was that TUT rose in her might
and closely curtained the windows OF
the palace, and then sailed away to
distant lands to procure proof OF her
own royal ancestry, and incidentally
her right to mate with any king alive.
But poor TUT did not succeed and came
back in disgrace, so far as proofs were
concerned. However, she soon over
came this slight obstacle, declaring
that since she had left her native land
war had TRANSFERRED, and her own
nation been licked This sufiiced for
the Samoans, and Queen TUT again
grasped the opportunity to regain her
old position in the palace Of the king
OF Samoa And as is often the case,
those who did most malign her, seeing
her success, bowed lowest to greet her
as queen Of Samoa-Detroit Tribune.
