Totitl Ailnilimlona Yentcnlny ll > , r > Total to Dnte 1,887,27:1 : The great week of the exposition , which \vlll bo made memorable by the most nota ble celebration thai has occurred wllhln the piemory of Iho presenl generation , opened yesterday under conditions that ) were sug- Kcstlvo of the great measure ot success that has been so confidently anticipated. It pecmcd as though nature had brought the Bprlngtlmo six months oul of 1m season lode do honor lo Iho Peace Jubilee. The kkles alternately wept and smiled and frowned vlth all Ihe capricious petulance of early spring , nnd Iho nlmosphero was so soft nnc ! balmy that the Imagination could almost perceive Oho fresh odors of newly budding follago nnd early flowers. The massive architecture of the White City was succcs elvely baptized by April showers and glorl- flcd by bursts of sunshine that were remin iscent of springtime beauties. Shadow am sunshine chased each other successively over the prelty landscapes , but after the firs burst of warm raindrops In the early mornIng - Ing the day was thoroughly enjoyable. Late in Iho afternoon Ihe clouds hung heavy with menace of moisture , but by this tlmu the crowd had reached thoroughly natlbtac tory proportions , and even If the suggestion of rnln kept a few people away In the even Ing the attendance wns still far above the Sunday average. The number of slrangcrs on the gronndi yeslerday wns far in excels of lhat on s.r.y previous Sunday. Omaha people very largel ; waited for Iho Important ) cclebiRtlons of tb succeeding days and with the exception o those- who came to hear Iho concert very few of them look ndvanlngo cf Ihe reduce : admission. Bul there were thousands o visitors , who have come early and apparently xvIt'll Iho Intention ot taking In thy t.hol Jubilee. Hundreds of family parties wcr conspicuous In the crowd and they admlrci the beauties of the show with all the en thuslasm nnd enjoyment ot now arrivals In many cases the head of the family per formed the offlco of guide with a > eadities which proclaimed that ho had been to th' ' ehow earlier In the season and hart uo\ brought ) his family to enjoy Its pleasures Under the brilliant blaze of sunlight th.\ came nnd went nt Intervals the grounds presented sonted u conspicuously animated am ) prett appearance , but the nlr was so mellow au warm that the cloudy Intervals were wcl coined. Everything CJetn n Crovtil. While the sacred concert In the afternoo vas enjoyed by ns many people ns coul possibly crowd into Iho Auditorium Ihls ha no pcrccpltblo effect on the crowd outshk In every part of the grounds there wa bustle and activity. The Indian encamp went was In particular favor. The nort boulevard was black with people passing t and from this wonderful ethnological spec taclc all the afternoon nnd although th Bnbbath observance which prevailed every where on the grounds prohibited any epo clal attcmpl al entertainment the visitor found ample pleasure in passing through th aboriginal villages nnd watching the horn lifo of their inhabitants. Today the formal celebration of the Jubl leo will begin. It Is Mayor's day and th exercises which mark Ihe occasion will b In Iho hands of Ihe mayors of tbo wes many of whom have accepted the Invltatlo of the management to bo presenl. All Ih vlslllng mayors will meet nt Iho Paxto hotel at 10 o'clock this morning and car rlagcs will bo waiting to carry them to th grounds. The exercises will begin at th Auditorium promptly at 11 o'clock. Thes will consist ot music by the band , an Invo cation by Rev. T. J. Mackay of All Saint Episcopal church , an address of welcoin by Mayor Moores and responses by Mayo John Macvlckar of DCS Molues and Mayo George T. Baker of Davenport. The majors of Stoux City and SI. Louis were also in vited to speak , but have not notified the management of their acceptance. There will bo a fireworks display on the north tract every night during the week. During the remainder of the week the ceremonies will bo still more notable. Tues day will bo Governor's day nnd the cxcr- clsca will bo very similar to these of to day except that the governors will bo sub stituted for the mayors. On this occasion the visiting executives will congregate at the Mlllard hotel , from which they will betaken taken to the Auditorium In carriages. Wednesday will bo President's day and the presence of President McKlnley and his dis tinguished party wll ) undoubtedly make it the big day ot the week. The exercises of this occasion will be held on the Grand Plaza as the Auditorium would not suftlco to ac commodate the crowd. President Wattles will Introduce President McKlnley In a very short address and after President McKlnley has spoken Postmaster General Charles Emory Bmlth will deliver an address. This wilt end the formal ceremonies and the bal ance ot the day will be occupied by the en tertainment ot the distinguished guests. On Army and Navy day , which follows , there will be addresses by General Miles , General Shatter , General Joe Wheeler , Gen eral John M.

Inhibition * Will lie Given Kvery Dny Till the Exposition Cloaex. The members of the United States signal corps have discovered that Instead of life at the exposition being all play there Is considerable work connected with it. Up to yesterday the 'boya ' had considerable tlmu for sightseeing , but now they have found out that they have all of the business that tiey can attend to. Major , Ward ot the War department has taken hold of the mat ter and has found places that fit all ot tbo men. Beginning yesterday and continuing un til the cloco ot Iho exposition , Major Ward nlll sen that the signal corps gives Its dally exhibitions.

The sacred concert which was given by Innes and his band and the Exposition chorus In the Auditorium yesterday after noon was even more successful than that of the preceding Sunday. Not only the seatIng - Ing capacity , but every Inch of possible standing room In the big structure was'oc cupied. People crowded Into the doors and stood compressed against the walls for Iwo hours and although the program was ma terially extended by numerous encores , they stood patiently and seemed -well rewarded for their enthusiasm. The program of the afternoon offered moro than ordinary attraction. It began with Iho magnificent overture " 1812 , " by Tschalkowsky , and Included two movements from Mendelssohn's Scotch symphony , the Vorsplcl from "Lohengrin" and the over ac ceptable trombone solo by Mr. Innes. The encores added such beautiful compositions as Iho serenata by Moszkowsky , Mendel ssohn's "Spring Song" and Mr. Innes' own stirring two-slop , " .Lovo Is King.Vlth such material 'for ' enjoyment the audience would have been delighted even If no further variety had been offered. But lo Ihese was added the chorus numbers and ho rendition ot Batiste's beautiful Com munion In G 'by ' the band , wlUi an organ ibllgato by Mr. Kelly. The organist scored a distinct success and Mr. Innoa laid down ils baton to Join In the enthusiastic encore hat rewarded htm. Mr. Kelly Ihen played he Intermezzo from "Cavallerla Rusllcana' ' with the band accompanyment , and this was , It possible , moro acceptable than his previous effort. The chorus performed Us part In Iho mixed numbers with fair success. Its rendl , lens were well-balanced and enjoyable , bu ts volume "was scarcely equal to the com petition of the baud. This was especially noticeable In the "Hallelujah" chorus , In whjch the conductor was compelled to sup press his brasses In order lo permit th chorus lo be heard. The most enjoyable chorus number was Ihe "Vesper Hymn , ' which was rendered wllh no other accom panlment than the calhedral chimes , which assisted lo create a very effective feature. Bandmaster Innes Is nowadays fairly haunting the Midway after tbo conclusion of his nlghl concerts. Visitors cannot help noticing the big , good-natured looking musician as he goes from concession lo concession. Ho Is everywhere. The danc Ing girls , the Streets of Cairo , Hagcnback'i animal ehow , the Chinese theater , th liutcs , the Old Plantation , any and every thing In the Exposition's most lively quarter , are receiving Ihe palronage of ihi encrgelic bandmaster. The cause of all Ihl Is the fact that Innes Is memorizing sights and sounda for a new piece of music which ho Is to give next week and which will be entitled "A Day at the Omaha Exposlllon. ' The band will whew Us art of Imitation In reproducing everything that strikes the cy and car from the time thai the visitor board the trolley car for the exposition ground ! until ho reaches the exit gale late at nigh after a day of sightseeing and gaiety. Even the fireworks will have Its literal reproduc tlon In this strange aggregation of muslca pictures. Inncts has picked up some of th peculiar Instruments on sale at Iho Chinee Village and his musicians have already become como experl performers on tom-toms an the other weird Instruments ot the almond eyed players from the flowery kingdom. The much heralded "Anvil Chorus" wll have Its first presentation Tuesday night. O Thursday night the great military spectacl War and Peace , " will bo given. In tbi piece a largo number of soldiers from For Crook will take part so as lo give a realist ! ' Idea of the pomp and pageant of actual war , Innes' third symphonic concert will be give on Friday night , and the Children's carnival tn which the grand chorus of a thousand Ju vcntlo voices will bo heard In the nations airs , Is announced for Salurday afternoon a 4 o'clock. To properly commemorate this event , Ih manaRpmenl has decided to give each chll taking part tn the singing of this Jubilee number a charming little souvenir of th occasion , and It Is probable Ibat In addltlo lo Ihe reduced rate of admission which hai been made to the grounds for this ono day that all the concessions will bo thrown ope : lo the children for the day at a uniform rat of 5 cents for each concession visited. I order that places and souvenirs may be pro vlded for nil children , It would bo well fo parents to make early application for place lu the grand chorus by postal card to Mr. T , J. Kelly , suporlntendcnl ot music. Anionu the Friilt I'xhlhitn. There was not any great amount of res In the Horticulture building yesterday , as all of the exhibitors were putting their fruit In order and getting ready to present a ncut nnd attractive appearance during the Jubilee week. As usual Nebraska Is piling Its tables to overflowing with all of Ihe va rieties grown in this locality. Today It Is showing eighty varieties of apples , thirty of which were raised last year. The bulk of the old apples , however , arc Jonathans , Willow Twigs and Ben Davis , yet there are largo numbers In the other varieties shown. In addition lo Ihe apples the state Is show ing dozens of varieties of peaches , twelve varieties of plums , scores of grapes nnd goodly quantities of pears nnd crabapplcs , On Apple .day Nebraska will give away 100 barrels of new and thirty barrels of old apples. Missouri Is getting in a lot of nj > ples and today it will glvo away ten barrels of the fruit to those who visit the exhibit. Most of them will bo the big red apples which have made Missouri famous. Superintendent Courtney of the Oregon exhibit Is looking for a carload of exhibits , the greater portion of which will be fruit. With this he hopes to keep his exhlbtl In Ihe bcsl possible shape until the close ot tbo exposition. During the Jubilee week ho will make something of a spread and will fill all of his tables and all ot the available rpaco that he can secure. I'rotcctliiiv the Klovrcra. Although there have been no frosts yet this fall Superintendent Foster of the De partment ot Buildings and Grounds has taken every precaution to protect the rare flowers that grow In such profusion upon Ihe Bluff tract. In anticipation of frost be has had constructed hundreds of frames over which bagging has been nailed. These frames have been scattered about the flower i beds and the first night a froct Is threatened i they will be put up and covered with can- | vas. which will extend over the entire bed , , In this way he Is of the opinion that ho ( Continued on Fifth Page. ) TRIBUTE TO THE DOCTORS All Acquit Themselves Well in the War with Spami EVERYTHING DONE WELL IN THE NAVY Ship * Fnlly Fitted Ont with Medical SnppMcn Ilefore the Wnr Ilroko Out SurKeotm Mnkc a t Good llecord. WASHINGTON , Oct. 9. Probably 110 better Illustration can bo fount ) ot the foresight exhibited by the navy In prepar ing the war than la afforded by the history of the medical corps during the struggle. This Is brought out In the annual report of Surgeon General W. K. Van Reypen , which Is the first of many ot the navy bureau re ports submitted for publication. Surgeon General Van Hcypcn begins with n modest tribute to the good judgment and oreslght of his predecessor , General Tryon , ho tn putting In order and equipping the cvcral naval hospitals was of Incalculable ervlce to the bureau , enabling It to properly : are for the kick and wounded of the navy urlng the war. When the Maine was ilown up Surgeon General Van Ileypen was n charge of the bureau and began prepara- ons Immediately for any contingency. The capitals were fully equipped and pfaus were rcpared for pavilion wards , the naval labor- tory prepared to furnish medical and sur- Ical supplies In any quantity. No addl lonal expense was Incurred until war coined Imminent , then every vessel likely o be engaged was given a full outfit of med- cal supplies for war. In anticipation of largo Increase of the navy , proper outfits vcro made ready and boxed for a largo num- ner of ships ready for call. "There has not been an Instance during .he war , " says the surgeon general , "of any vessel having to wait for her medlca tores. " IX was known that the medical corps was nadequato In number for war ; yet there was no law authorizing the employment of vol unteer medical oGlcers. But medical boards were sent out In anticipation to the prlncl- nl cities to examine applicants for appoint mcnt and as a consequence when the war broke out the medical department had a hand from which to make selections of vol unteer surgeons a long list of well educates men , and thirty-seven of these were ap pointed out of 2,000 applicants. Surgeon General Van Reypen says : They have rendered efficient service and have be.cn a credit to the navy. Some have had unusual and trying experiences , bu .hey have accommodated themselves to thel environments and have Justified their ap polntmcnts. 'Only one medical officer was killed dur Ing the war , Assistant Surgeon John Blal : OlbbB , who fell at Guantauarao , serving with the Marine battalion. The medical de partment had long desired to establish i medical service at sea and the approach of war gave It an opportunity to demonstrate strato the wisdom of Its propositions am the efficiency of Its methods. The stcame Creole was purchased and with the valu able assistance of Naval Constructor Wood ward was converted Into an ambulanc ship within sixteen days , fitted with every appliance of modern surgery , disinfecting apparatus , cold etorngo , laundry and cle vator. It was a pioneer In Its work , Indl eating a stop In advance that It well be came the United States to take. " The report gives a history of the valuabl services rendered by the Solace In carlni for the sick and wounded. Stores and sup plies and also delicacies and comforts hai been supplied In abundance for the slcl and wounded by generous and patriotic In dlvlduals and societies from every part o the United States. Tribute to IVomnn. Says the surgeon general : "In this wo woman has done her perfect work and th medical department of the navy Is pro foundly grateful for the money contribute and supplies furnished for the aid of th nick and wounded of the navy. Patriot ! women have ns ably .supplemented the ef forts of the government and their effort have been thoroughly appreciated. " In this connection the report calls alien lion to the fact that as soon as war wa declared the daughter of Secretary Lon and three of her associates at Johns Hop kins' medical school volunteered and wer assigned to duty In the hospital. # In conclusion the surgeon general says . "I cannot close this portion of the bureau report without bearing testimony to the effl clency and devotion to duty of the per sonnel of the medical department. Naugh but a word of praise has the departmcn heard for any of thorn regulars or volun teers. When the war was 'imminent the vied one with another In their efforts to go on fighting ships. Some have had greater opportunities than others , but all have done well the work assigned them. Surgeon Edgar saw his associate , Assistant Surgeon Gtbbs , shot by his side In the Spanish at tack , and ho continued his work alone , dolpg It thoroughly and well , as It was known he would. The medical officers of the vessels In the fight at Manila and In tlie battle of July 3 shared the dangers of their com rades and should participate In the praise accorded them. "The medical officers of the Solace have the honor ot Inaugurating the first complete system of antiseptic surgery at sea. They have Improvised apparatus , etc. , and have the satisfaction of having demonstrated that with skill and Intelligence the percentage . of mortality among the patients on a well equipped ambulance ship will not be greater than In the hospitals on shore. Dr. Per sons found himself confronted with twenty two Spanish wounded and acquitted himself Eplcndldly. The medical officers of the other hospitals had sudden largo accessions ot patients. They were always ready and cared for them well. " I'rrpnrlnR tu Move Troop * . CAIMP .MEADB , MIDDLETOWN , Pa. , Oct. 9. Chief Surgeon Glrard Is getting ready for the movemenl south of the Second corps. Ho will begin tomorrow vaclnallng the troops to guard against an outbreak ot smallpox. The colonel has arranged with the hospitals In Philadelphia and through the eastern end ot the state to care for the sick of the corps. General Graham Is opposed to taking hla command south and has requested the War department to forward the corps asa , unit for duty as an army of occupation. Th troops are In excellent condition and Gen eral Graham thinks that If they are shipped direct across the water there will not be much sickness. Slilpn train the Snath. NEW YORK. Oct. 9.

ST. PAUL , Minn. , Oct. 9. A Pioneer Prees special from Ferris , Minn. , a small . town north ot Leech Lake , says : j I ' A report reached hero late this evening ot the killing of a white man near Bear Is- 1 land during the day. Settlers living near ' the Indian reservation arc seeking shelter In towns along Ihe railroad. A large band ot Indians of about 150 were reported late this evening camped within two miles north of this town. Armed citizens arc guarding the | I town , expecting an attack during the nlghl or early in the morning. Indians tirofesa- . Ing lo bo friendly were nt Graccland , one I and a half miles west ot here , this evening , . trying lo purchase ammunition. I General Bacon's orders for the movement ot more troops to the vicinity of Leech Lake look ninety men from Fort Snelllng on a special train last night. Two companies of the Fourteenth Minnesota Volunteers arc held at Duluth ready to start for points along the Fosston line of Iho Great Norlh- I ern , where the two batteries of mllltla ar tillerymen have preceded them , and tonlgfit another company of the Fourteenth , made | I up of fifty men from Company B , of Mcr- | rlam Park , and fifty of the guard stationed | In charge of Camp Vanduzee , where the ; Fourteeulh is lo bo mustered out , was or dered to take the 9 o'clock train tomorrow morning for points along that same road. These last will take -with them the equip mcnt ot Iho two Duluth companies , which was left at Camp Vanduzeo when the men were furloughed. The government Is particularly anxious about the daugcr to dams at the headwaters of the Mississippi , and a heavy guard has been stationed there. By tomorrow night over 700 soldiers will bo scattered all around Leech Lake , protecting settlers and property from the possible attack of the uncertain number of Indians now in arms against the government because they objected to betaken taken lo court as witnesses In prosecutions for Illegal selling of liquor to Indians. IiKlliui.-i on the Picket lilui > . WALKER , Minn. , Oct. 9. When the troops reached Ihe agency they found lhat the friendly Indians had themselves main tained n picket line covering the whole line ot woods which surround the settlements. As many as fifty of itho Indiana have done plckel duly. Now thai the troops are more numerous , preparations for defense will probably , bo abandoned , but thcro will bo Indian scoula out all the tltao ready lo bring prompt warning of anything lhat even looks dangerous. II Is said by Ibose' who know them lhat those agency Indians would not hesitate to kill a hostile as quickly as would n soldier. Last night - < Mah-Ge-Gay-Bow , one of the headmen oftho Bear island Indians , ar rived at Bear Point with two canoeloads ot I the Bear islanders , comprising these of them Who were for peace.There wera.bev , only-five or 100 of Iho party men , women and children. They rent into camp five miles from the agency , and the headman called on General Bacon at once. Ho said he had told the hostlles on the Island that ho would not go with them , that he and his friends wore for peace with the white men and that they were going to the agency. "All right , " said the hoatlles , laconically , "tell them what wo are doing , " and they allowed Mah-Ga-Gay-Bow to depart In pcaco. "Kay-wln-nln-go-ka-da-zln , " said the old man when ho was pressed with Inquiries as' to tno number ot < the hostlles , their present whereabouts and tholf Intentions for the future. This being Interpreted , means : "I do not know anything more about It , " He did say that so far as ho knew none of the hostlles were killed in Ihe Dghl , but they all say that. As to how many Indiana were actually on the warpath the agency Indians are dis posed to hold the number down to some thing under 100 , and many of them say there are not moro than twenty-five or thirty. Dr. Hart has prepared a paper which Ihe In dians are being asked lo sign as fast as they come In to tbo aijoncy. It Is already signed by more than 100 Indians , Including a dozen or fifteen of the headmen and chiefs from Flalmoulh down. It reads as follows : To the Great Father. WashliiEton : We , the undersigned Chlppewa-Plllager Indians of the Leech Lake reservation In Minnesota , deplore the outbreak of some ot our breth ren upon this reservation and believing you desire that Justice shall be done In your dealings with us , wa have , therefore , re solved tn council aswnblod to remain loyal lo Ibc United States and friendly to our white brethren and wo agree to use our In fluence with our friends and relatives , the Bear Island Indians , to law down their arms and quietly submit to the authorities ot the United States. Situation Grnv . MINNEAPOLIS , Oct. ' . ) . A special to the Tribune from its staff correspondent at Walker saya : The situation tonUht Is more ominous than ever. At the agency today a council ' was held between the Indians , General Bacon , Colonel Harbach , Indian Agent Suth erland and Marshal O'Connor. The result of the conference was not In any way un like lhat ot these previously held , except In the fact that not ono ot the leading men of the different bauds was present. There were , however , reprcs ntallves present from Bear Island , Caas Lake , Otter Tall Point and Pine Point , but none of Iheso has any Influence with the tribesmen. The only con clusion lo be drawn Is that the leaders of the different bands sent men there merely as stoolplgeons and that others of their number are preparing for the war path. H Is reported tonlghl on tbo authority ot a citizen who baa conversed with a hostile Pillager Indian , ono who was in Wednes day's battle , and who haa sat In all the councils of the Pillagers , that the Indians have sworn to an agreement to accomplish if possible the following : They will attempt in a few days to drive from the reservation all of tbo troops al ready there. They will , If they are success ful In the above , not allow any United States authorities or United Stales troops thereafter to land on the reservation.

GOOD POLITICAL OUTLOOK Careful CUIIVIIHN .Shown that the Ite- puhllciuiM Will Wlu Out. WASHINGTON , D. C. , Oct. 9. The Wash ington Post will present tomorrow In a ser ies of dispatches from correspondents In every state in the union except Maine , Ver mont and Oregon , where congressional elec- ' tlons have already boon held , a review of the political situation , wlh ( special relation lo Iho complexion of the next house of repro I sentatlves. In summarizing Its dispatches the Post says : "While democratic gains are outlined Ir many states , the figures of our opponent , do not yet make It positive that the republl ' cans wil lsfo control of tho. house. Then | | Is nt present in the house t > f rop'resenlatlvc a republican majority over all parties com blned and this largo majority will be dim cull to complelcly overcome. There Is in doubt Ibal It will bo reinced to a very smaF ! number , bul the present indications do no point to Us enllro disappearance. The cs llmates made by the Post correspondent show lhat 16G dlslrlcts In the United State will certainly bo republican in the approach ing election , unless the unexpected happen and thirteen additional districts will glvo Ib republicans a majorlly of the house. Ac ' cording lo Iho Post's advices , there are n less than forty-two doubtful districts , th large number being in a great measure du to the caullon of Iho Post's correspondent in declining lo pfaco In the certain column any district which contains an elemenl o doubt. "Out of this forty-two , however , there or at least twenly districts In which Ih chances are said lo favor Ihe republicans For Instance , there arc districts in Massachusetts chusotts , Maryland , Delaware , New York West Virginia , Ohio Michigan and Wyomln which are classed as doubtful , bul whic Iho republicans will probably carry. Will 1C ulctrictft assigned with certainty to Ih republicans , against 128 assigned lo tb democrats , according lo Ihe Post's figures Ibe parly In power has an cosier path t travel to the desired goal. The populist are given thirteen scats and the sliver re publicans four. "All the correspondents of the Post agre in their statements as to the apathy show everywhere In the coming elections and tha this lack of Interest Is the ono great ob stacle to republican success. All efforts are now being made to get out the vote , and the campaign will undoubtedly become enlivened , The democrats are encouraged by thcli fighting chance , and the republicans , appre ciating the danger that threatens , arc vigor ously laboring to Impress upon their voters the necessity of casting every ballot at tbo polls.

The Issue of the orrcspondcuco by Salisbury Is taken as In- ended to prepare the public inlnd for Iho osslblllly of war nnd has created the pro- oundest sensation In political clubs tonight , 'rue ' , the correspondence Is not brought up .0 date , but had at subsequent Interchanges 'cltevcd ' the tension of the situation , or It a icaccful settlement was In sight , this blue iook would not have seen the Hghl now , , f ever. The report Is prevalent lonlghl that Salls- ury dispatched Instructions Friday lo Iho British ambassador equivalent to an ulti matum and probably Iho dispute will como o a head within the next forty-eight hours. tVhether thcro la to bo war or not depends n Iho French government. Salisbury haa alien a position from which ho cannot ro- edc. Ho has explicitly refused to compro mise. Public sentiment hero fully backs up .his attitude. The English people are out of patience with France , whose enmity has 'ound expression In a hundred exasperating ways within the last few years. Besides , ho conviction prevails hero that the British fleet could easily dispose of the French and a blockade be established which would reduce Franco to Impotence. I'nrlN Situation In Grnvo. ' PARIS , OcU. 9. ( New York World Cnble- rom Special Telegram. ) The condition of affairs hero Is highly menacing. President Fnuro did not go to the races at Auteull to day because ho was warned there might bo serious und hostile demonstrations by strik ers , from which the police could not guar antee his safety. Ho placed the presidential l > ox at the service of the American peace commissioners , but the offer was courteously declined , as the commissioners did not think t fitting thai they should attend a race meeting on Sunday. The strike Is undoubtedly being uccd by factions desirous of disturbing the rublla peace , and tbo-strike leaders have been .as sured 'of handsome subventions by the anti- Dreyfus parly It tiho agitation continues to add to Iho general ferment. Reports are abroad lonlghl Unit Franco Is on Iho verge of war with England about Fashoda. The negotiations are said to have arrived at an impasse from which there lane no cscnpo except by the Intolerable humilia tion of either country. Largo bodies of troops are being messed within striking dis tance of Paris. In the event of disturbances BrlsKon has expressed a determination to crush all turbulence mercilessly from the outset and has planned vigorous measures should t'ho emergency arise. 11I.UE IIOOIC O.V THIS SITUATION. Outline of Correspondence Iletvrecn llrltlMh anil French Oovcrnniciilfl. LONDON , Oct. 9. The foreign office haa Issued a Fashoda blue book giving the cor respondence between the French and British governments. It begins with a dispatch doted December 10 , 18117 , from Sir Edmund Monson , Brlllsh ambassador at Paris , lo Lord Salisbury , referring to rumors of Iho massacre of the Marchand expedition and cx- posslng the ambassador's satisfaction thai he has been allowed lo acquaint M. Hanotcaux ( French foreign minister ot that day ) with Lord Salisbury's view lhat if other questions are adjusted Great Britain will make no difficulty regarding the French claim on the northern and eastern shores of Lake Tchad. The dispatch shows , however , that the am bassador made It clear that this concession must not bo understood as admitting the right of any European power except Great Britain to occupy any part of the Nile Valley. M. Hanoteaux replied on December 21 , in a long dispatch of respectful protest against Lord Salisbury's view. On August 2 of this year , Lord Salisbury wrote Lord Crcmer , British diplomatic agent at Cairo , giving him Instructions that after the capture of Khartoum two flotillas should arccnd to FashuJa and go up the Blua Nllo as far as It should prove navlgablo for steamers. Under these Instructions the Sir dar was personally to command the Fashoda flotilla and take a few troops if ho should consider It desirable , the object being to as sert Great Britain's sphere ot Influence in the Nllo valley. On September 7 , Sir Edmund Muncon re ported to Lord Salisbury a conversation In which M. Dercasse , French foreign minister , announced that Marchand had no authority to decide on questions of right nnd had been Instructed to abstain from any action likely to lead to local cor.tllct. M. Dclcasso fur- Ihur expressed a conviction that the matter was Busccptibru of arrangement by means of discussion. To this Lord Salisbury replied on Septem ber 10 that Great Britain regarded the operations of the slnlar ( General Kitchener ) as placing all territories of the Khalifa Ab dullah by right of conquest In the hands ot the British and Egyptian governments and insisted that this contention admitted ot no discussion. Then follow dispatches recording the dis cussion belween Sir Edmund Monson and M. Delcasse , Ihe latter explaining that Marcband wnn now virtually a lieutenant to tbo Llotard expedition and therefore the situation at Fashoda , even If Marcband was there , could not be dangerous , as Sir Ed mund Mouuon had represented. On September 25 , still following the blue book , the Sirdar reported the results of his expedition to Fasboda , fully confirming the announcements already cabled , Including the fact that General Kitchener's arrival there prevented a second Dervish attack on March and. The French officer Informed the Sirdar that he had concluded a treaty which ho hid sent to France for ratification whereby tbo Bhillock chiefs had placed the country under French protection. Th French officer r - piled in thn negative to the slrdlr'H question as to whether he was prepared lo resist the hoisting of the Egyptian flag , but be main tained he had orders from the French gov ernment to occupy Fashoda. General Kitchener notified the French
