LONDON, Oct. 25.-The Fashoda yell
low book, issued by the French govern
ment, having left some slight misgiy-
ings in this country as to Lord Sails
bury's firmness in dealing with the
French ambassador, Baron de Courcel,
speedy dissipation of these feats fol-
lowed the publication of another blue
book 1t is specially welcomed by the
London papers. which this morning ex-
pressed their satisfaction. notably at the
view of the Egyptian regent, which Is
held to nullify entirely the French idea
that Englend lacks the approval of the
Egyptian government
The most important feature of the
blue book is dispatch, dated Oct IL,
from Marquis of Salisbury to the Brit
ish ambassador at Paris, Sir Edmond
Monson, reporting the previous inter
view with Baron de Courcel, in which
the latter wished to ascertain what solu-
ton Of the question was possible. In
this dispatch the Marquis of Salisbury
says:
81 generally insisted that the Nile
valley belonged and still belonged to
Egypt and that whatever diminution
that title had suffered by the Mahdis
conquest had been removed by the vic
tory at Obdurman."
Baron de Coureel then said France
wanted an outlet to the Nile, and the
Marquis of Salisbury requested that
the whole proposition be made in writ
ing, although he would not admit its
validity.
The blue book also contains interest
ing letters from Mustapha, the regent
of Egypt, to General Kitchener and
Lord Cromer, the British diplomatic
agent, respectively, showing Egypt's
attitude. He wrote to General Kitch-
ener. warmly thanking him for taking
possession of Fashoda.
The regent, IN writing to Lord Gro
mer, protested against 1.-The French vio-
lation of Egyptian territory" adding
that Egypt had never lost sight of the
reoccupation of the provinces of the
Soudan, which are the actual sources of
the vitality of Egypt, and from which
she only withdrew owing to force. He
also said that the reconquest of Khar-
toum would fail to have its effect if the
valley of the Nile was not restored to
Egypt.

Senator Pritchard So Wrote, Previous to
Riot Near Lumberton, N. C.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. - Senator
Pritchard of North Carolina has written
a letter to prominent officials here, re-
viewing the situation and saying that
Governor Russell may have to call on
the government to allow the use of the
state troops now in the government
service to quell the threatened disturb
ances.
The letter was written before the riot
near Lumberton, N. c., and was based
upon the intense race feeling prevalent

in case the call was made.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 5.-Professor
Hilgard's representations Of q dry sea-
SON in California for the wheat crop OF
1898 are not greeted anywhere with cred
ulity.
At the weather bureau Mr.. Hammond
said that there was not a globule OF
moisture in sight.
"But we are likely to be drenched al
any time" he added; there is Just now
a chance that the wheat which sprouted
a month ago. and is now drying out, will
suffer, unless we get rain quickly. But
this only applies to certain sections OF
the State. II, as the rule seems to be-

A NEW COLISEUM
A Chicago Building For Exposition
Purposes

6uIpOScS
CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-The Chicago Com
mercial Association has proposed to the
South Park Commission, the organiza-
ton of the Chicago Commercial Expo
sition Company, with capital stock of
81, 800, 900, to build an exposition building
on site 9OOx1100 feet on ground to be
filled in on the lake front between jack
son boulevard and Congress street, ex-
tending east Of the Illinois Central Rail-
road Company's right Of way.
The PARK Commission regards the
proposition with favor. Further con-
ferences will be held between the mem
bers Of the commercial association and
the South Park board before the mat
ter is settled.
The main point in the discussion was
the power of the South Park board to
acquire title to the submerged tract,
which still vests in the State, or to make
such arrangements for the transfer of
the title so it will enable the board to Sc
cure the corporation in its expenditures
in filling in the submerged tract. 1t is
possible the General Assembly in its
special session may be asked to take
needed action.

Some of the More Important Bills
introduced

Some Of the More Important Bills
introduced
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Representa-
tive Taylor of Ohio introduced a bill to-
day to encourage commerce with Hawaii
and Japan, by authorizing payment for
twenty years of not exceeding 100000
per year, payable quarterly, for tele-
graphic communication from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu and via the Midway

to be sent free.
Senator Lodge introduced bill grant
ing the right of way through Alaska to
the Alaska and Northwestern railroad
company, from the Lynn canal, via Chill
koot pass, to the northern boundary of
the territory.
The committee on postof1ces and post
roads reported the Loud bill. remedying
abuses in the privileges Of second-class
mail matter, to the house today. Chair
man Loud, in making the report, said
congress must remedy the second-class
matter abuses or the government should
go out of the postal business.
Representative Johnson of North Da-
kota today introduced a bill to repeal
the law which has just gone into effect
relative to pelagic sealing and the i'm
portation Of seaiskins taken by pelagic
sealers.
| Secretary Sherman today sent to the

ling the heads Of departments for sug.
gestions as to changes in their respective

and the chief clerks Of the state depart
ment from the operations taken. The
secretary concludes with the statement
that he makes no complaint against the
present occupants of these offices, but
he thinks that upon general principles
the secretary's hands should not be tied.

CAGES REPORT
Which Opened Wide the Floodgates of
Oratory

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Secretary
Gage and other cabinet officials today
replied to the Senate resolution of De-
cember 18th, calling upon the heads of
the several executive departments for
information as to what positions in their
respective departments should be eX-
copied from the civil service laws and
rules. Secretary Gage replying, says:
II believe that experience has taught
that the order of May 8, 1896, was too
sweeping, and that there should be taken
out of the classified service considera-
BILE number of places that were at that
time classified. The most important of
these places are in the internal revenue
service. The difficulties which the de-
partment has experienced in the adj
ministration of the rules as they now ex-
list, as applied to the internal revenue
service, have become intolerable. I be-
lieve that all positions of deputy collec-
tors of internal revenue should be made,
except in places, however, subject to
competitive examinations. The collec-
tors who appoint the deputies are re-
sponsible for the conduct of subordi-
mates. This responsibility covers not only
only Euellly anu iuleSIlly VI luOSS SUD-
ordinates in their relation to the gov
eminent, but extends to a personal liza
bility to those who may be injured in
person or in property by inconsiderate
| or malicious trespass committed by such
| subordinates. 1t is obviously wrong that
the Collector, after assuming the heavy
responsibilities that he does, should be
| tied down to an eligible list. 1t is be-
| lieved it is desirable that collectors be
| free to select their SubordinateS from
among men concerning whose personal
characteristics and integrity they have
| knowledge

| experience has demonstrated that elias.
sification was ill-advised is the custo-
dian service in the public buildings

this service large number of low-sal.
aired positions, where no academic test
is required or desirable. 1t would be ;

COMMITTEE WORK
The Hawaiian Treaty Ready to Be
Reported

WASHINGTON, Jan.5.-Senator Da-
Wis, chairman of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations, gave notice in the
Senate today that he would call up the
Hawaiian annexation treaty in executive
session on Monday next and ask the
Senate to consider 1t each day there
after until the treaty should be dis
posed of.
Senator Davis announcement was
preceded by some active work on the
part of the friends of the treaty prior to
the opening of the senate, and also on
the floor after the senate convened.
They do not feel absolutely sure Of Sc
curing the sixty votes necessary to rat
ify the treaty, but are today hopeful OF
getting that number. 1t was positively
announced that the Republican side of
the chamber would be unit in the
vote, Senators Morrill,, Hoar, and two
or three Republican senators who were
classed as doubtful prior to the holiday
recess, now being considered as COM
mitted to the treaty. The supporters
of the agreement also expect to have the
aid of silver Republicans, excepting
Senator Pettigrew. The Populists will
be divided, and a majority of the Demo-
Gratis will be against ratification. The
Democrats, however, have given up any
idea they may have had of making the
annexation question party issue, and
| it is believed this action will have the eff
feet Of increasing the affirmative vote on
| that side. There is no doubt that the
situation in China is largely responsible
for the improved prospect of the treaty,
as many senators hold the opinion that
for the United States to hesitate in this
matter at the present critical time would
be to manifest a serious weakness. The
advocates of the treaty announce their
intention to make few speeches, but they
expect stubborn resistance from Sem
ators White, Pettigrew, Gray and others.
SENTIMENT CHNGING
| CHICAGO, Jan. ga special to the
| Times Herald from Washington says
The outlook for the ratification of the
Hawaiian annexation treaty is now con
sidered very bright. The friends of the
measure believe they can secure for il
| 62 votes, or three more than are needed
There has, it is said, been marked
change of sentiment since the European
powers began their ageresSions IL
China. The feeling is very strong here
that unless the United States take'
Hawaii the islands are likely to Gauss
us trouble in the future, when one o.
more European nations attempt to ac
quire them or give them to Japan al
compensation for their grabs in China
Senator Davis, chairman Of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, says h
will call the treaty up at the first exec
utive session of the Senate.

support of the solid Pennsylvania dele
cation, and thought they would be able

lima, Alabama, Michigan and Missouri.
