was supposed to have been assassinat-
ed with Col. Klobb in the Soudan by
Voulet and Chanoine is alive and we'll.
This sensational news reached Paris

mortal services today, so that Nine.
lSlobb is left alone to MOURN while
there is rejoicing in the Meynier fam
lily.
The mass for Col. Illobb is to be an
imposing affair. The minister of colo
nies will assist officially and nearly
every rank and grade in the various
regiments OF the French army will be
represented.
Word concerning Meynier was re-
ceived by the family, and the minister
of colonies was informed. Ii appears
now that Meynler was wounded but not
killed, and Lieut.. Pallier nursed him
when he took command of the Vouiet
mission, and got Meynier to a place of
safety.
Noulet and Chanoine, 1t is said. have
left the mission, and there is no news
of them. Lieut.. Pallier is valiantly try
ing to get his little band to the Four
eau-Lamy mission. and the united
bands may then be able to rsach The
