rived at and they believe that,
provided Maj. Marchand is re
called, the dispute is susceptible
to an arrangement by which
France will receive some satis*
faction in th. Bahr-El-Ghazal
district.
The British government will
issue another blue book tonight,
the most important featur. of
which will be a dispatch dated
Oct 12 from the Marquis of
Salisbury to die British ambas
sador at Paris, Sir Edmund
Monson, reporting the previous
interview with Baron De Cour,
cel, in which the latter wished
to ascertain what solution of th.
question was possile. In this
dispat.h the Marquis of Salis
bury say.:
“I generally insisted that the
Nile valley had belonged and
still belonged to Egypt and that
whatever diminution that title
had suffered by thp mahdi's con
quest had been removed by the
victory at Omdurman.”
The Marquis of Salisbury
then pointed out the helpless
ness of Maj. Marchand’s posi
tion, which Baron De Courcel
denied, and finally the British
premier, in response to Baron
D. Conrcel’s suggestion, offered
to supply Maj. Marchand with
food and ammunition in order
that he might be able to r.ach
French territory. Baron De
Courcel then said France want
ed an outlet to the Nile and the
Marquis of Salisbury requested
that the whole proposition be
made in writing.
This was the last . interview
between the ambassador and the
premier on this subject. Baron
Do Courcel then went to Paris
and it is thought that the prop
osition which he brings there
embodies the points indicated
in this conversation. The Brit
ish cabinet council has been fix
ed for Thursday.
NEW PROPOSITION TO BE SUBMIT
TED.
In spite of the news of war
like mobilizations which come
from France and different parts
of England today with the de
c'inein rentes and consols,there
is a distinctly better feeling t in
diplomatic circles now and a
growing belief that the Fashoda
dispute will be arranged.
The drop in the price of con
sols was largely due to impor
tant withdrawals of gold by
Scotch and Irish banks, which,
however, is usual at this time of
the year.
The French ambassador to
Great Britain. Baron De Courcel,
will arrive here from Paris to
night, and there is good author
ity for the statement that he is
the bearer of a proposition t.
the Marquis at Salisbury which
may satisfy both governments.
FRENCH PRESS COMMENT.
Paris, Oct. 25.—The newspa
pers here warmly praise the ex
position of the French side of
the Fashoda question by the
minister of foreign affairs. M.
Del Casse, in the yellow book
on the subject issued yester
day.
The Fiago says: “If the Brit
ish government rejects Prance •
moderate and just proposals it
can only be because the govern
menment of Great Britain de
sires before everything else the
humiliation of France.”

FEW CASES OF FEVER
At Sullivan’s Island When he

Lieut. William P. Harbin,
one of the provisional surgeons
in the regular army, arrived in
the city yesterday frem Hilton
Head, and will go down to Ty
bee this morning to act as sur
geon of the post there.
Dr. Harbin was at Hiltoi

left that place under an order
from Col. Cleary, chief surgeon
of the department of the Gulf,
instructing him to go to Tybee
He has spent a portion ol the
two months he has been in the
service at Charleston, which
city he left to go to Hilton
head.
Dr. Harbin expressed sur
prise that so much had been
said of typhoid fever on Sulli
van. He said that when he left
there, there were but six cases
in the camp. He found the
health of the men of the battery
of the First Artillery, encamped
on Hilton Head, excellent.—

“An agreement regarding
Fashoda’can be arrived at pro
vided Great Britain does not
persist in asking for the imme
diate recall of Maj. Marchand.
But as to an outlet to the Nile,
w. have an absolute right there
to and will brook no refusal.”
The Siecle, after urging
peace, says :
“France would hardly come
off better in a war with England
than did Spain with ths United
States. France would be better
employed in developing colonies
than in thwarting England.”
The Autorite declares that
France ought never have gen.

stupid mistake, and now Eng
land calls on us to get out. Well,
it is no use talking, we shall
have to get out, otherwise there
will be war, which would be
madness.”
