Palia Octobor 22 Fashoda Is upon
every tongue It must bo admitted that
tho atiltudo of tho French is rainier
than tho English This Is particularly
noticeable In tho newspaper comment
on tho other side of tho channel In
London yellow Journalism seems to
havo taken root and Is flourishing
in tbo Uuropean edition of tho Herald
today thew Is n comparison between
the attitude of tho Ilrrtlsh and French
papers built upon a leader in the Daily
Mail which regretted that the boule-
vard press which wcls responHlblc for
the dlsafitmu3 war with Germany is
with ono accord shouting defiance to
Engrand
Our nctghbore the leader added
must understand they are playing a
dangerous game Tbcy are going be-
yond a bluff end may find themselves
In a position whenco 1t Will bs impos
slda to recede
Tho advice is good but as the Her-
ald remark coctors aio said never to
tako < heir own prescriptions eo It is
perhaps useless to wish the Dally Mall
would heed Its own warning It is the
English yellow Journalism and not tho
boulevard preea that is playing a dan-
gerous game From the very boglnnlng
of tho Fashoda Irabrogjio the tone of
tho Dowspapers of Frapce has been eon
tristocily qulat moderate and reasan
able It is true that the rights of the
first comer over a derelict tetxltory
have been firmly maintained but oitcr
all this is vo astonishing nor crim-
inal eo far as is known At any rale
on this side of tbo chanoel there Is no
article of Internatlorni law that for
bU S people to revindicate whet It con-
siders to be its Just dues On the other
hand many if not til tbs Enjinh
tallies seem to have been thrown off
their balance by the mere Idea tbac

That Is the Sentiment in London Concerning a
Solution of the Difficulty With France
Special Cable Dispatch to the New York Herald and The Houston Post Copyrighted 1S9S by Jamra Oordou llennett
London October 22 If anybody still harbors the delusion dial public opinion in London or for
that matter in England for in this instance they are evidently identical is likely to climb down in Hie
Faslioda affair I can only advise him to come here and convince himself of the contrary During the last
fortyeight hours I have spoken to any number of representative persons of almost every walk of life while
not in a single instance have I encountered any personal animosity against the French as Frenchmen neither
have I met a single person who for one mpment entertained any hesitation as to what the attitude of England
shall be The people deplore the bad taste of Punchs cartoon representing France as an organgrinder and
there is evidently a general wish to avoid hurting French feeling but not at the price of England receding from
her demand that Marchand shall quit Fashoda

Spurlal Cable Dispatch to the New York Herald and The Houston Post Copyrighted 1S5S by James Cordon Bennett
London Oct 21 Reviewing the situation as it stands tonight it would appear that war is very imminent
Neither country wants war but both have gone nearly to the point where it would be the only possible solution of
the matter without a loss of prestige as disastrous as war It has been a huge game of political boasting and
bluffing but both governments have placed themselves in a position where it is difficult to withdraw Ili lish
France niay do so with the most grace as the Paris government has not yet said that Marchaud will not wittiftrawkr
from Fashoda while Salisburys publication of the Fashoda blue book was practically a notification to France
that Fashoda must be evacuated That is the dictum of the Loudon government aud is the only possible solution
The press of both countries is doing all it can to lash public sentiment to a fever heat
The admiralty of both countries is prepared to act in a moment The situation summed up is that both have
bluffed to the point where they are prepared to make the bluff good if it becomes necessary
