Relations Between Enyland
and France.
KITCHENER KT CAIRO.
Great Reception Tendered the
Herein The Soudan-
Manchester, England, Oct. 8.
—The London correspondent of
the Courier says that long mes
sages of instruction have been
telephoned by the Foreign Office
to Sir Edmund Monson, British
Ambassador at Paris, and that
there is no doubt that the rela
tions between France and Eng
land are greatly strained.
Lord Salisbury declines to re
gard Major Marchand’s occupa
tion of Fashoda as a matter for
negotiation, and M. Delcasse,
the French Foreign Minister,
though yielding gradually to the
British contention, desires to
evade the appearance of surren*
der on the part of France.
[ KITCHENER AT CAIRO.
Cairo, Oct. B.—General Kitch
ener, the commander of the
Anglo-Egyptian expedition in
the Soudan, arrived here yester
day, having journey'd from Om
durman in record time, 74 hours.
The streets were lined with
troops, and he had a great recep
tion from the populace.
Officers accompanying Gener
al Kitchener say that Major
Marchand, the French officer at
Fashoda, behaved with great
moderation and courtesy. Gen
eral Kitchener denies the story
that the French at Fashoda fired
on the British, mistaking the
latter for Dervishes.
FIRE AT ADAIKSVILL.E
But Veach Mill Whistle Alarm
ed the Villagers.
Adairsville, Ga , Oct B.—Fire
broke out here last night in the
second story of J. E. Scott’s
furniture store at a little past 11
o’clock. His stand is situated
in the Yarbrough Block, about
the centre of the public square
That faithful alarm, the Veach
mill whistle, soon had a suffi
cient force on the spot to put it
out, though not before a great
deal of damage had been done
The whole of the interior up
stairs is hulled out and the big
lot of furniture stacked there is
ruined.
It is impossible to give amount
of damage just yet.
J. B. Green and W. J. Alex
ander, who keep dry goods in
the stores in the same block
have both suffered greatly. All
have in new goods and many of
the things were stored in the
upstairs.
All parties are insured. The
origin is unknown, but it is
supposed to be a match and a
mouse.
The hardest rain for many
days fell during the fire.

and has done a phenomenal
amount of cruising. Even now she

sary to modernize ber in some
important points.
