New York, November s.--The Tribuno's
Paris correspondent writes: The Anglo
,hobi, epidemic raging IN the French press
IS daily becoming more acute. Tie Ma
,,onalist, batting, Praetorian and
clerical press-the same papers that con-
s,iuted themselves champions OF the late
,eneral staff during the Dreyfus affair
are straining every nerve TO steer public
opinion as to arrive at war with England.
IN reading the Patric and the Croix one
might suppose that France and England
were already at war The editorial IAN
st,sge and epithets are now more violent
Than anything that appeared in either the
American or Spanish newspapers during
the Spanish war and probably surpass III
naliynity and abuse all past achievements
of the French press in criticizing the con
duct of nation with which France Is al
neace. Too much weight should not be
attached to their frantic ravings, out u -
,nnossiple to gauge correctly the trehu

messages taken at radon from the Patrie
may enable observing Americans TO form
an idea of the foreign policy the hat'oh-
alists are urging upon the government .
"neIn the Beers aud avenge Fashoda'
is the advice given by Nj. Millevoye, who
DECLARES that 9TH British foreign Once
has deliberately falsiiied all the dispatches
rom he seat of war, where in sp!Ie OF all
official accounts. matters are GONG very
badly for England. Thousands OF French-
men are burning TO join the Beers ana
fight against England. British hatred mas
never vet missed an opportunity to strike
At French breasts. Examples of such Brit
i.h brutality abound everywhere. An
Englishmap dressed IN a suit of smart
black velvet and khickerbockers was taken
in 1870 near Bougeval. where he used to
amuse himself by killing our outposts with
shots from his Snyder carbine. In runs
and Madagascar hardy British adventur-
ers and officers of Queen Victoria made UP
shooting parties or purpose to kill French
men. The hour of retaliation has arrived.
The shooting season when Frenchmer
may Kill Englislimeu is now open. Notice
is hereby given 10 amateurs. Is not TINS
sport most tempting one?
Charles Laurent in leading article IN
Matin intimates that the battles of Glen
coe and Elandslaagte in reality were VIC
tories for the Beers. NJ Laurent writes:
In spite of Illusions, and notwithstanding
the mercenary enthusiasm of the stock OK
change and the bourse, the present cam
paign marks the end of England. BY this
l do not mean that there will be war IN
the county of Kent or that an invading
army will encamp in Hyde park and levy
taxes on the city merchants. But 1t Is
the end OF greater England British arms
can never subjugate the Transvaal.
Insulting caricatures and cuts of Queer
Victoria appear III the boulevard newspa-
pers accompanied by libellous and tnde
cent legends. The Pattie publishes almos
every. day extracts from alleged CONVERSE
lions with Mr.. Chamberlain, who is rep
resented as declaring that 1T is the polio,
