Between FTanee and Englaog Dying Dili. THE FRENCH MERCHANTS As Well as The British Oppose Such a Conflict. —.» . . Paris, Oet. 21.—The drift of opinion of the Farhoda question among commercial men in Paris was shown by a resolution adopted this afternoon by the municipal council of thia city urging the French government without sacri ficing the material interests of the country to use its utmost efforts to avert a conflict with Great Britain over this dispute. M, De'caseP, minister of foreign affairs, has ordered that the ie port es Major Marchand as to the situation of Fashoda. which is ex pected at Cairo tonight, be tele graphed textually. Owing to its probable length, it is expected that at least forty-oi’ht hours will be required to reduce it to the French cipher code at Cairo and to translate it in Paris. According to the French papers, there were important naval expe riments at Toulon last evening. A flotilla of torpedo boats were de tailed to make an endeavor to force the entrance of the harbor and the whole garrison was called to arms and the forts and batteries were tn.i.ned, ready for instant action. The result of the experi ments baa not been made public Vice Admiral Barrera presided yesterday at a secret council of war at Brest, in which the chiefs of the maritime forces took part. Confidential orders were subse quently issued to the garrison, England's War Fkver Cooling. London, Oct. 21. The London morning papers have cooled down to an exceedingly cautious and conservative tone in dealing with ths Fashoda question, apparently realizing that the public on both sides of the channel is heated to the danger point. There is a marked effort to avoid an offeu-» sive tone. The Times says: “Sir Michael Hicks-Beach has gone some way to persuade our neighbors that we really mean what we say. The time has come when it is absolutely necessary to dispel French dreams on this sub ject unless very dangerous conse quences are to result, but the chan cellor of the exchequer might have performed the operation more dex terously The Daily News, which voices the general feeling, says; “The country is determined to maintain its rights, but there is no occasion to provoke our oppo nents or to add fuel to th* con troversy.’’ L J J...
