LONDON , Nov. G. The marquis of Salis
bury's declaration on tbo subject of the
withdrawal of the French mission from
Fashoda made at the Mansion house ban
quet last night In honor ot General Lord
Kitchener it not regarded hero as being
wholly satisfactory.
The entire absence of nny reference to the
extraordinary naval preparations Is consid
erably commented upon and It Is remarked
how careful the British premier was to ex
plain that the evacuation of Fashoda was
only In the nature of oil on troubled waters
nnd that British diplomacy had not yet
weathered the storm which thu Marchand
inlaslou conjured up. It l recognized that
the French premier , M. Dupuy , and his col-
Iraguett , Intend to carry out what they have
promised ; but a factor which must be
reckoned with Is the fact that there are in
fluences at work In Paris which render the
existence of any irinlstry precarious and
which might at any moment In the event of
certain contingencies provoke a general up
heaval.
The English papers point out that the
evacuation of Fashoda Is only an Install
ment of the satisfaction expected by Great
Britain and that Franco has yet to nw.iltow
the pill of withdrawing from the Bahr-el-
Ghazal region. Under these circumstances
the debate In the French Chamber of Depu
ties on Faehoda next week la eagerly
awaited , as the Fashoda government Is then
expected to explain Its Intentions regarding
the remainder of the French posts In the
Kilo valley , established by Major Marchand.
Shown Conelllntory Spirit.
In diplomatic circles a reassuring Impres
sion hns been made by M , Dupuy's declara
tion of yeaterday evening that the French
eovorntncnt's policy will bo based on well
understood Interests and that Its efforts
Wit ! bo measured by the value of the objects
Jn view. This Is held to Imply that the pres
ent government will show a conciliatory
attitude on the remaining points In dispute.
The attitude of the sultan of Turkey and
the kbedlve of Egypt on the Egyptian quoe-
tlon is being closely watched and It IB eald
the British foreign ofQco has received proofs
ot attempts on the part ot France to Influence -
enco both ot them against Great Britain.
The intrigues at Constantinople , It is added ,
weri greatly checked by the present rela
tions between Great Britain and Germany ,
uud the British diplomatic agent In Egypt ,
Lord Cromer , has taken the khedlvc In bund
and Is understood to have put before him
a sort of ultimatum which may have in
volved his deposition In favor of his brother ,
thereupon the khedlvc became submissive
and Indicated as a token ot submission his
willingness to visit England and pay hla
rpspects to Queen Victoria , a duty which
he has hitherto evaded , although ho has
paid prolonged visits to ( several European
capitals.
Prepared for War.
A majority of the people here have beet
convinced that war between Great Brltalt
nnd Franco is Inevitable , sooner or later
and many expressions of regret were heari
today at the military and other clubs tha1
the conflict apparently is not to take place
In the uear future , as It Is the general bo <
llof that the army and navy are In a per
foot state of preparedness. The genera
feull'ng In the country Is such as would en
florae any warlike action upon the part o
the government. The whole reserve squad
ron has assembled nt Devonport and Is nov
completely fitted out and ready to sail at i
few hours' notice.

PARIS , Nov. C. The newspapers here ,

say that they niunt wait for the declaration

subject. Tut they point out that this check
hns caused a painful Impression throughout
the country. The ministerial policy an-

the attacks on the army arc approved and
the Chamber's endorsement of this policy
alno meets with approval.

cate that that body has proceeded on exact ! ;
the line anticipated , consequently the actloi

was fully expected that the Spanish commis

sloners. It was not expected that they woul
closed at once with the American proposl

submitted a counter proposition the Span
lards by entering upon the argument ot th
American proposition have shown a dtsposl
tlon to negotiate relative to the Phlllppln

( Copyright. 1S9S , by Associated Press. )
BERLIN. Nov. C. The Frankfurt Zeltuns
says It learns from a well-Informed source
that Emperor William's visit to Turkey led
to an agreement by which Germany under
takes to support the Integrity of the sultan's
Asiatic possessions , for which Germany will
receive commercial and Industrial privileges.
The paper adds that It Is believed this
agreement Is tantamount to an armed alli
ance between the two countries. A num
ber of rumors as to the real objects o Em
peror William's visit to Constantinople and
the Holy land have been In circulation ever
since the Intention of his majesty to visit
the Orient was announced about a year ago.
These alleged purposes Included Important
railroad concessions to Germany , the ceding
of territory In Syria to Germany for coloniz
ing purposes , the ceding of the port of Hafla
In Palestine , the ceding of the Island of
Rhodes to Germany , and the granting to
Germany the right to plant a large German
colony along the whole frontier at Tripoli.
This last agreement , It was added , was
Intended to protect the sultan against
French encroachments across the Tripoli-
Tunis frontier and would also avoid granting
Germany a concession In Asia Minor , which ,
If added , would Induce Russia to demand
compensation. On the other hand It haa
been announced that some of the powers
have notified Turkey that It will not bo per
mitted to cede any territory to Germany ;
and Russia , It was announced from Berlin
on Saturday last , was arriving at an'under
standing with Austria and Franco to pro
vide against the accomplishment of certain
German plans In the Orient.
German Piipem Crltlelne t' ' .
The news that the United States now de
mands the whole of the Philippine Islands
haa created much Interest hero. The Ger
man newspapers freely comment unfavorably
upon It.
The Cologne Gazette says : "The Interests
of Germany will be especially Injured by
the American annexation , as the policy of
the open door , which has hitherto reigned
under < tbo Spanish -flag , will be quickly
ended. Moreoverj-'tho' Alricrlcan d&timnflj
from a humane point of view , Is unheard of.
It means the sqeezlng of a fallen foe to the
last drop of blood and would sully the name
of the victor. The whole sympathies of the
world would be on the side of Spain , brutally
ground down by her enemy. "
The National Zeltung points out that the
Philippine Islands would , In American hands ,
become not only of Immense commercial ,
but of paramount Importance , "which all
the powers having Interests In the far east
are bound to seriously consider. "
Therefore , the National Heitung thinks
Bomo power may oppose the change oJ
ownership.
The Vosslche Zlctung lectures the United
States for Us alleged greed and the Deutsche
Zeltung describes the United States demand
as a "piece of characteristic Yankee Impu
dence" and calls upon Europe to "put It8
foot down while there Is yet time. "
The government of Germany and the
semi-official newspapers have been silent 01
extremely cautious. Hut It Is quite evldenl
that Germany will not Interfere In the
settlement of the Philippine question noi
even encourage Interference upon the parl
of others , and It Is understood this hae
been Intimated to the Spanish government

Emperor' * Gift.
Emperor William's gift of the abode e
the Virgin ilary to the German Catholic
was a very clever move and has made a pro
found and favorable Impression among th
Catholics. The remarks of the centrist pres
clearly show this , for even the usuall
venomous Germanla accords his majesty un
stinted praise and says :
"Tho possession of the abode , which ha
been the heart's desire of the Germa
Catholics for years and which French ID
( luenco was unable to get from the sultat
was due to the energetic and wnll-dlrecte
efforts of the kaiser , which achieved thel
object Immediately where France notorlousl
failed. "
All the Christian congregations of Jen

French Augustlnes , have repeatedly offere
Urge sums for the * abode and the adjolnln
cocnaculuin , but the Moslems have alwaj
refused. Turkish law gives the owner (

Conviction * for Lone Mnjcnte.
There has been a great Increase lately In

factor is shown by the fact that it cast !
nearly as many ballots ns all the rest o
the stnto and that there arc greater varla <
tlons In the party tides In the city tbai
up the state. For example. In 1S96 , Black
republican for governor , had a plurality o
30,031 over democrats of both the free sllve
anil the gold standard wings , while In ISO' '
the democratic Judicial nominee had a plur
allty of 95,354. There has been this yea
a local diversion which may exert i
marked Influence on the vote of Create
Now York. This consists In the allegattoi
that Richard Croker has sought to mak <
the Judiciary dependent upon his pcrbona
will and pleasure.
The state senate has a membership o
fifty and the assembly of 100. As nt prescn
constituted , there Is a republican majorlt ;
of 28 on Joint ballot. The republicans nr
disposed to concede a reduction of their ma
Jorlty in the legislature , but profess a con
fidence that they will have a working ma
Jorlty in both houses. The democrats con
fldcntly expect to gain three or more con
gressmen in districts below the Harler
river and possibly as many up in the stat
districts. The republicans do not feel Ban
gulne of maintaining the preponderance o
28 as against six democrats In the New Yor !
delegation.
The registration In Greater New York thl
jear , while not ns heavy as last year , give
promise of a large vote being brought oul
the figures being : This year , C56.389 ; las
year , 667,192. The vote ordinarily Is abou
7 per cent less than the registration.

The place where the wreck occurred Is
the point nt which the various tracks of
the different lines using the bridge converge.
An extra freight train , made up of cnrs
loaded \ylth rails , was Just leaving the
Union Pacific yards lu Council Bluffs , and
was about half way across the switch lead
Ing on to the bridge track when the Port
Arthur passenger train crashed Into It. The
engine and baggage car of the passenger
train and three or four flat cars of the
freight train went Into the ditch. It made
an ugly looking wreck , and blocked the
track for several hours. All the night trains
through the transfer were delayed. The
passengers , \vero forced to walk around thu
vrrcsk to get ncrosa the river.
All of the men who" were Injured were
on the front end of the baggage ear , which
was smashed. Fireman Hewer was on his
way tii the Union Pacific round house to tnko
his engine out. The other two were labor-
era from South Omaha and were stealing

no warning , and \vcro crushed in the mass
of timbers and Iron. Hewer was lustautlv

track until ho wua nearly on It and then
when ho could not stop the train there was
nothing left for him and his Oremuu to debut
but jump and save themselves.
