It is coming to be believed tn political circles here that Senator Quay is going to be defeated in Pennsylvania. It seemed when the republicans who are trying to overcome machine politics and boss con- trol in Pennsyivania first undertook the fight to prevent Quay’s re-election to the Senate as if they Fad an impossible task before them. Mr, Wanamaker, who is at the head and front of the anti-Quay ele- ment, has been making a remarkable can- s, having tremendous andiences whefev- spoken. ‘Che state is all torn up and the feeling between the Quay and anti-Quay people is extremely bitter.

SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, October 24.—The members of the insular cabinet took the oath of allegiance to the United States yesterday with befitting solemnity. They will issue a manifesto announcing their resolution to avoid partisan politics and end party strife. : About $12,000 has been collected as cus- toms duties since October 18, the day the United States formally took possession of Porto Rico.

The conservative organs scout the idea of the Marquis of Salisbury entertaining the surrender of the Bahr-el-Ghazal valley to the French, and the Pall Mall Gazeite and the Globe suggest that the ambassador mis- understood the premier, and call on the latter to make an explanation: The liberal and radical papers ary not displeased at the prospect of a ¢omoromise bemg arrived at, and.they believe that if it provided Major Marchand is recalled the d'spute is susceptibl> to an arrangement receive some + -Ghazal district. by which France will faction in the Bahr- Yellow Book is Voluminous.

The naval authorities of Toulon have heen ordered to expedite preparations for fitting out a new squadron of warships. ‘The newspapers here today warmly praise the exposition of the French side of the Fashoda question presented by the minister of foreign affairs, M. Del . in the yel- iow book on the subject issued vesterda : “If the British go ment rejects France's moderate and just proposals it can only be because the gov- ernment of Great Britain desires before everything else the humiliation of France.” The general tone of the French press comments is reflected by the Eclair, which remarks: “An agreement regarding Fasho- da can be arrived at, provided Great Britain does not persist in asking for the immediate recall of Major Marchand. But as to an outlet on the Nile, we bave an absolute right thereto and will brook no refusal.” War Would Be Madness, The Siecle, after urging peace, says: France would hardly come off betier in a war with England than did Spain in the war with the United States.
