PARIS, Jan. en-. D'Estournelles
de Constant. republican. former coun-
seller OF the French embassy in London,
in the chamber Of deputies to-day raised
the question of the Anglo-French rela-
tions. He reviewed the Fashodn ques-
tion. pronounced himself In opposition
to thc colonial megalomania, criticised
the policy Of the government through
out, and asked if they were at the be-
ginning or at the end of the difficulties
with Great Britatin, with which country
he urged cordial understanding.
The minister of foreign affairs, NJ.
Dc!casse. ascending the tribune, said
his policy had been directed toward
conserving the permanent general inter-
eSts OF France. He recalled the role of
France during the Hispano-American
war, .and said the appeal addressed 10
France. by one of the two nations with
which We had equally cordial relations,
was all to the honor OF France, and
the government could not refuse It's
assistance knowing that It would not
be misunderstood by our friends In
America"
The result he added, was "a moral
huN ththtSc ltI rance WHICH no one
failed to understand"
referring to the cZar's disarmament
proposals. the minister said Frances
whole sympathlcs supported them for
two reasons-thc good Of humanity and
respect for the nation with which her
friendship was never more complete
than now.

in the nature Of diminishing her
strength.
Relative to the protection of Eastern
Christians, Frances historic position
had not been weakened In the slightest
degree.
Unfortunately. he proceeded, there
was n reverse side 20 the picture. The
great states Of the world differ, but he
believed their disputes might be settled
In n spirit of Cancellation.
The foreign minister said in conclu-
sion:
France Is always ready to negotiate.
peins conscious of her rights Great
changes are preparing throughout the
world, and therefore 1t is necessary to
walk prudently. To complete our task
In n digniilcd manner. the full support
of the chambers is necessary"

CHARLESTON, W. Va. Jan. 2S.-At
midnight tonight private negotiations
are going on between committee
from the Democratic caucus held to-
night, and the Republicans looking to Il
compromise by which an agreement
may be made which will avert an open
rupture over the pending contests.
There was radical, element which
favored the carrying out of the move
ment to unseat half dozen or more
Republicans. but, it Is said. the con-
servative element who were opposed to
extreme measures were In the major
ity and the action above stated was ta-
ken.
The bases OF the proposed compromise
were the propositions submitted by the
Republicans to the effect that further
action in the matter of unscating SEN
ators whose seats were contestahle
should cease, providing the Brohard-
Dent case was dropped and matters
left as they are. The conference be-
tween the two committees Is likely to
be prolonged, as there are many points
to be settled.
The result on the basis named would
be the retention Of the three majority
Oh the joint ballot. which the Republi-
cans have and are entitled to. The in
spring motive is to avoid situation
which would create n chaotic condition
Of affairs. II no agreement is reached
the situation will remain as before with
all its possibilities.

French Pugilist Knocks Out
an Englishman by Kick
ing Him.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS, Oct. 28.-The fight for 25 900
francs between Charlemont, France s
champion, and Jerry" Driscoll, former
champion,of the British navy, this after
noon, resulted in victory for the former.
There was a great crowd and the fighting
was hot for six rounds. In the seventh
round Driscoll was knocked out by a
smashing kick in the groin, the French
man being allowed to use his feet, in ac-
cordance with the French custom. The
seats sold as high as $40 each.
The Englishmen and several Frenchmen
protested against the decision being given
in favor of Charlemont, but the majority
greeted the announcement with wild
shouts of triumph and cries of 'Fashoda. -
The Englishmen who witnessed the fight
declare that it was most grotesquely un-
fair from beginning to end. The umpires
were both Frenchmen and one of them
actually was Charlemont's father. The
match was supposed to be under the
Queensbury rules and kicking in the
groin was barred.
The ring was five and half yards
square. The contest consisted of two
minute rounds, with intervals of one min
ute and ten seconds.
Charlemont was heavy and fat Driscill
was light and sinewy. Charlemont wore
walking shoes and five-ounce gloves were
used. The Frenchman was no match for
Driscoll, who pounded his opponents face
to jelly and finally got him in chancery
