England and France in Upper Egypt.

England and France i'm Upper Egypt.
London, September 2S.-The newspa-
pers of the country are clamoring
thai the government take the public
into it's confidence in regard to the
Fashoda affair, having been informed
thai General Kitchener's report has
reached the foreign office and that it
makes interesting developments. They
appear to be deeply disappointed that
diplomatists are to nave the settlement
of the question, and express the fear
that Lord Salisbury will prove suscep-
tible to French Establishments.
The foreign office has issued a formal
refusal to make public any further de-
tails of the affair, some of which, how
ever, are leaking out. The Sidar, &C
cording to these, after Major Marchand
refused to furl the French flag, for
mally announced that he had come to
raise the Egyptian flag, but before do
ing so desired to know whether Major
Marchand wished to enter a protest.
The F~renchman replied in the mega
tive, and the Sirdan then planted the
Egyptian flag alone-not the Egyptian
and British, as at first repOrted-500
metres from the French flagstaff. Ne
gotiations relative to the matter were
begun at Paris today, the British am
bassador, Rt. Hon. Sir Edmund J.
Munson, calling upon NJ. Delcasse, the
French foreign minister.
The Chronicle this morning declares
hat General Kitchener had full in
structions as to how to meet the Mar
chand expedition and that everything
happened as had been anticipated.
There is nothing now for France
says The Chronicle, "but to extricate
Major Marchand from his untenable
position. There is no alternative to this
but a declaration of war. Great Brit
ain will not allow armed reinforce
ments to reach Major Marchand. When
France shall have accepted the inevi-
table it is believed that England will
assent to the naturalization of the Nile
from it's mouth to the lakes"

A co WARDLY C
Kid Mccoy Kicks COrbett in the Groin
and Then Runs.

New York, September 28.-The pugi-
lists kid" Mccoy and James j. Cor
bett, who's match has been broken off,
met in the Gilsey house lobby this af-
ternoon, when Mccoy knocked Cor
belts hat off and then, while Corbett
was held by his friends, kicked Corbett
in the groin. He then ran out of the
side door, away from the crowd. Cor
bett was then taken to mis- room and
a doctor summoned.
Corbett, his manager, George Consi-
dine, and AL. Smith ate lunch together
in the Gilsey house cafe, finishing
about 1 o'clock. They then walked out
through the lobby and in the Broad
way entrance met David Nugent, of
the Hawthorne Athletic Club, who
Joined them. In one side of the en-
trance were Mccoy, William Gray, of
the Hawthorne Athletic Club, and six
other men. They were talking excited
ly.
Considine saluted Gray and Corbett
walked up to do likewise. Gray after
acknowledging the salute said to Cor
bett: 81 don't hin you want to
fight"
whats that?" inquired Corbett.
Gray repeated the remark and Cor
bett loudly said that ne was ready to
fight Mccoy anywhere and at any time.
'Ill fight him now and right here on
the street." said VOrbett.
Mccoy, who had been listening, step
ped up to Corbett as the latter spoke
and knocked off his hat. Several Of
Corbett's friends, wishing no disturb
ance, held him and just as they seized
him by the arms and shoulders, Mccoy
delivered a kick at Corbett, which
struck him in the groin. Corbett lean
ed over in pain, unable to try to get
at Mccoy, who, as soon as he had kick
ed Corbett, raj back to the side en-
! trance of the hotel. COrbett tried to
follow, but he could not do so and he
was p~ursuaded to go to his room A
doctor was Immediately summoned.
A large crowd gathered at the first
| rumor that the priZe-fighters were in
the hotel together and by the time the
| report that they had got into a fight
had been spread, which was in a few
minutes, the hotel was beseiged. The
crowd was in a state of excitement
about the alleged fight, but neither OF
the pugilists were seen by h people
| Mccoy disappeared early.

FEARFUL FOREST FIRES
Raging tn COlOradO-NarrOw Escape Of
C1uzens Towns in Danger-Cattle
Destroyed.

Denver, Col, September 2s.-A prairie
fire, probably started by a spark from
a locomotive, has burned over thou
sands Of acres of grasing and be-
tween kiowa and Bijou creeks in Nor
gan county and destroyed thousands Of
tons OF hay. Ranchman W. c. Miller
and his wife and child had a narrow
escape from being burned to death.
The woman and the child were badly
burned. Had it not beer for the
others at Corona, the town would nave
been entirely destroyed. Thousands Of
head of cattle are threatened with de-
struction by the forest fires.
In Eagle county where the flames
seem to be spreading more rapidly
than in other sections of the state.
ranch property has bee burned and
the farmers with their stock have
been trying to get out of the path OF
the fires for a week past. One large
bunch of about 5000 head Of cattle is
now entirely surrounded by fire and
there is no chance for them to escape.
The report came from Deputy Game
Warden Slaughter, who directed his
letter two days ago. 1t is probable
that the cattle lave been destroyed by
this time.
Dispatches from various points in the
forest fire indicate that the fires are
spreading, and hat unless something
is done to check their further progress
the loss will be almost beyond compu-
tation. AS it is now, some mining
camps are threatened with destruction
and many ranches are doomed.
At Radcliffe the fires are within ten
miles of h town and citizens are or
ganizing to fight their advance. A
dispatch states that it is feared that
the little mining settlement at Holy
Cross, near Redcliff, has been destroy
ed. Communication is cut off, the mail
carrier being unable to get through.

k1gnv
for supremacy-Tammany TO Drop
VanWyek.
Syracuse, n. Y, September 2S.-The
chaotic condition of the delegates to
the state democratic convention at
midnight was accentuated by a con-
test precipitated by the action of the
committee on credentials. in confirm
ing b sitting delegates in the three
districts Of Erie and seating the con
testing delegates In the first and third
OF Monroe. This action, If approved,
would probably give control OF the
next state committee to ex-senator
Hill, and at midnight it was alleged
that Mr.. Croker and Tammany would
fight the adoption Of the report on the
floor Of the convention tomorrow. 1t
is also asserted that the Tammany del
egates finding the upstate sentiment
strongly against Van Wyck, have
thought of taking up Judge D. Grady
Herrick, of Albany, as their candidate,
to prevent ex-senator Hill nominating
Mr.. Stanchfield and to combat any idea
that Mr.. Hill has defeated Croker.
At midnight it is generally conceded
that State Chairman Danforth will go
into the convention with more votes
than any other candidate, but not
enough to nominate. The Stanchfeld
boom has grown rapidly tonight and
many Tammany men are talking of it.
All night the leaders have been fight
ing hard, and there is promise of a
heated session tomorrow unless some
understanding is arrived at. The fight
seems to De the delegates below the
Bronx against those above it, and SO
far the latter are in the ascendency.
1t is probable that the convention will
finish by tomorrow night. It is not
possible, at midnight to give any idea
of the names that will probably go on
the ticket. To some newspaper men
tonight Mr.. Croker said hat Mayor
Van Wyck was not a candidate, but
there is no indication that he has been
withdrawn permanently.
TIE Gully thing decided finally upon
tonight and not subject to change to-
morrow is that there will not be any
mention either of the Chicago national
platform or of silver. Long before
the platform committee met there were
indications that this was so. In the
convention, Delegate J. c. Pierce, of
Monroe, offered a resolution endorsing
the Chicago platform, but was not al
lowed to speak upon it, and it was not
read.
Still later in the day the silver ad-
herents applied to the committee on
resolutionsto put in a plank of indOrse-
ment, but met with refusal. The re-
suit of all this was a meeting of a
number of the silver men and the selec-
ton of a state ticket which they claim
they will put in the field if they are
not recognized. The proposed ticket
is headed by William Clark, of Oswe-
go for governor. Together with their
newly made slate of candidates they
also have a very brief platform one of
whose palnks is a reaffirmation of the
Chicago platform.

ALGER AT CHARLESIO ON
Investigating Advantages of the City
Ss Port of Shipment of Troops and
Supplies to Porto Rico and Cuba.

Charleston, S. c., September 81
Secretary Alger and his party, con-
sisting of General George M. Stern
berg, surgeon general of the United
States army; General M. I. Ludington,
Quartermaster general of the United
States army; Colonel Frank A. Hecker,
quartermaster and chief of transporter
ton; Major G.. H. Hopkins, assistant
adjutant general and military aide to
Secretary Alger, and Messrs. F. G..
Squircs and Kicker, secretaries, arriv-
ed here at 5 o'clock this morning for
the purpose of inspecting Charleston's
advantages as a possible bass of sup
plies and for the shipment of troops
to Porto Rico and Cuba this winter.
At s o'clock the party was met by
Mayor Smythe and a special commit
tee of citizens and driven to the Char
lesion hotel for breakfast. An hour
was subsequently spent in examining
two admirable hospital sites which
have been offered to the war depart
ment. The party then boarded a
steamer and made a trip around the
harbor and out to the %jetties. Passing
Sullivan's island the secretary landed
and inspected the new Notifications
there, the troops turning out on a
salute being fired. On board the
steamer dinner was served and a well
coming address wa delivered by Mayor
Smythe. Secretary Alger responded
briefly.
It is now a ~foregone conclusion that
either the port of Charleston or the
port of Savannah will be used for the
shipment 0 fthe troops and the vast
amount of supplies to Porto Rico.
Each of these places is contending for
the honor Of being made a base. 1t
was intimated today that shipments
would be made from both of them.
During his stay in the city, Secretary
| Alger declined to discuss any matters
| pertaining to the conduct Of the war
| and the investigation now in progress.
| He and his party left the city for
| Washington this afternoon.
