LONDON, Oct. 3.—The secretary of state for foreign affairs, the earl of Kimborly, has been in communication with the Indian gov ®rnment and preparatjons are being made 10 concentrate English and Indian troops in geadiness to proceed further east.

The Narious heads of departments at the dock yurds held a conference this morning, at avhich the opinion of the officers was taken in regard to the time the first division of the reserve ships could be in readiness to put'to sea. The dispatch adds that the training Squadron’s departure for the West Indies has been postponed from Saturday to Wednesday mext, and if yecessary teh cruise of thi squadron will be abandoned and the men on board the training ships will be transferred o ships which will shortly be commissioned SERIOUS DIFFICULTY EXPECTED. All the afiernoon papers gravely @lgouss the hasty summoning of & cabinet council and it is generally accepted us belng connected with some serious difi- enlty with France. The liberal organ, the Westminster Gazette, handles the subject very tenderly and Is evidently anxious not to excite public opinion, and thereby embarrass the government, On the other hand, the conservative mouth pleces discuss the matter more fearlessly and warn France against encroaching upon British rights. The ¥ Mall Gazette says: “A crisis which necessitates the summoning of a eabinet council was entirely unexpected. It J% quite probable, however, that propositions have been made to settle the various differ- ences. But while we gladly recognize thau the ineideat admits of favorable interpreta- thon, it 18 idle to ignore the fact that it is quit possible that the cabinet has been summoned to discuss a new and unexpRceted cause of friction with Frauce.” The Pall Mall Gazette then refers to the article, printed today in the Politque Colonial of Paris, which reflects the views of the minister of the colonies, M. Del Casse, and_which gives, exclusive of the guestions of Beypt and Mudagas: a list of eleven outstanding difficultios between France and England, connected with frontier and similar disputes In various African colonies. The Politique Colonial. however, says that many of these have practically been settled 4 that nene of them would justify a rup ture unless one country was bent upon pick- Ang & quarrel wish the other, which, the paper adds, is not the case. The Pall Mall ette, In spite of this says that the article in the Politique Colonia s known friendly to “the verge of dis courtesy,” adding: “And if it reflects the Bpirit In which the French ministers intend 10 discuss the difficulties with England, we may prepare for troublesome times. We do not wish to quarrel with France; but, on the other hand, we are indisposed to permit trespassing on our unquestioned rights. The bullying spirit which tells Frenchmen that they have only (o brag and blufl to force England to surrender may casily lead to trouble.” PROBABILITIES OF WAR, The Pall Mall Gazette then continues: “The Dailly Chbronicle says that- war between France and England must be regarded as inconceivable madness. It may be madness, but it Is not inconceivable. France must be told courteously, but firmly, that we have not the slightest desire to attack or to pro- voke her, .but that, if attacked, we shall defend ourselves to the extremity.’ The Globe also expresses the belief that the hurried call of fhe cabinet council s due 1o disputes with France, adding: “We b lieve that here is no ground for public alarm or suspicion. But we cannot surrender any part of England’s rights or shirk an part of her dutles. Our strained relation with France are not a matier of a growth nor connected with Madagascar. have points of contact with the French throughout the world, and each is possible of having fostered irritation which may easily become strife. It is certaln that the tame way In which we have allowed ourselves to be outwitted in the far east during the Jast year and the manner in which we have ood by while France partitioned our herit- age in Siam, has done much to persuade the more Ignorant or hot headed Frenchmen that England i not o terrible after all. To- day's news of the blockade of the island of Madagascar sets at rest all doubts as to the immediate business of lomorrow's cabinet The ministers have decided upon a resolute course of action and the public will mwalt with anxiety the news of their de- . elsion, ‘We want no panic nor war fevers, but we need the assurance that our nterests will be properly safegnarded and our allies pro- tected. The French will find that we shall have a word to say about the Madagascar question before It is settled and Lord Rose- bery may rely upon the unionists to support him loyally and heartily in the interests of the empire.” The above quotations from the leading afternoon papers of this clty give a falr idea of the drift of public opinion here and the gravity of the crisis which has caused the calling of a cabinet council for tomorrow. The Daily News says: Rumor s always wrong when applied to cab- inet meetings, and wise men pay no attention 0 its wanderings. There are several ques- tions at issue between France and England, but there are 10 questions of opposing in- terests comparable In the remotest degree with those which set France and Prussia to antagonism in 1870, The Standard says it cannot be belleved for & moment that any question of difference has arisen between England and France that could not be amicably arranged by a patient and temperate discussion REVIEW QF THE DISPUTE The dispute between France and England regurding Madagascar Is one of long stand- Madagascar Is a large island, se the southeastern portion of by the Mozambique channel.

Conse- quently, M. Le Myre de Villers was sent on a special mission to Madagascar, and it was understood that he was, to all intents and purposes, nstructed to demand the abdic tlon of the government and to annix t dsland to France, The following statement was made regard- ing the mission of M. Le Myre de Villers recently: “'He will first demand a revigion of the treaty of 1885 and will then ask that the territory of France at Deigo Suarez be extended to Passandame bay on the western slde of Madagascar, and to Vohemar bay on the east side of the island, and that Majunga and Nossi HBeh on the west coast, and Fort Dauphin, Tamatave, Manaboudro and And- Ooverean @n the cast shores with their ad- ut territiories be ceded to France. 1y he was instructed to demand that the French residents shall have the right to control all the actions of the government of Madagasear, including its foreign policy DETAILS CF COVERNMENT DES IRED. The Cocarde of Paris, at the time of the departure of M. Le Myre de Villers, who is just ubout due at Madagascar, said: ‘“‘He will cull upon the Hova government (o satisfy all our demands and to respect all the clauses of our treaties. In the case of th» Hova government accepting this demand a pretocol, summarizing our rights and render ing some obscure points clear, will be drawn. These rights may be summariz-d as follows The installation of a French representative,s| who will treat exclusively all questions of | foreign policy vers; ecognl- | B e yith the powers; the recostl- | haesing adequate laws for the proper govern- tion of the right of Europeans to possese property without any retrocession clause; the rights of tr ing with the natives for the hire and farming of property; the registra tion all deeds concerning the purchase and hire of property at the French resi- deney; (he construction of a railway which | the Malugassy government has’ till now re- fused; the n of navigation of b rivers; the establishment of military stations where't renc think fit; the appoint ment of a French agent to control and secure the financial resour:s wasted at the present moment to the detriment of the natives; the installation of a French resident with each of the Malagassy governors, wih the | ubject of securing the respect of treaties and the proper collection of the taxes—in a word, | the effectual application of the protectorate reginie, which has until now been nothing but nominal. It the Hova minist:rs do not give entire satisfaction De Villers will withdraw to one of the vessels of our | squadron and the commander of that | squadron will then open the sealed instruc- tions s=ent to him."” FOREIGN OFFICE DENIAL. The officials of the foreign office deny that the summoning of the cabinet tomorrow is due to @ hitch in the negotiations with | France in regard to Madagascar, but that it is for the purpose of discussing several {fmportant international questions, one of the chief subjects to be brought up being the safety of British subjects resident in China, A dispatch was recelved at the foreign of- fice 1 from the British consul at Pekin stating that he was making arrangements to insure the safety of the British resi- dents at the Chinese capital. e Sun learns, it says, that a portion of the British channel fleet will be ordered o G'braltar in order to reinforce the British Mediterranean squadron, UNITED STATES INVOLY) Clating of the Fry in Madagasear Have Annoved this Government. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3—The Madagascar issue has been an endless source of conten- tion 1o the United States ever since the IPrench assumed protectorate over Madagas- car in 1885, The first American consul after that was Mr. Campbell, who was in a centir of contention between the native gov- ernment und the French consul gegeral representing the protectorate. He was succeeded by a colored man of Nebraska, Mr. Walker, whose sympathies appeared to have been with the mative gov- sriment, although the State department here wished hm to accede to the Irench claims and take bis exequator from the French | consul general. The American consul could not be located, however, until he had treated with the Hovas government, when It was too | fate o recognize the French claih. The preseat United States consul is an ex-gov- ernor of Alabama. He was appointed « year ago, but up to the present time his consu- lar office has not been recogn'zed, owing to the conflict between the Hovas and the French governments. It has brought about endless correspondence between the French government and the State department. The prescnt move of France is taken to indicate that she, too, is tired with temporizing, and intends to force her contention to a final set- tlement. Private advices received here are to the eficet that the closing of the Mada- ascar ports will be followed by the landing of 2,000 Irench soldiers in Madagascar. PARIS, Oct. 3—The Matin this morning s that Madagascar can offer no possible subject for a dispute between France and Great Brituin, adding: “Once our differences with the Malagassy government are settled there will be no pretext for a Franco-British couflict. The relations between the two goy ernments were never more tranquil.” The minister of foreign affairs, M. Hano- teaux, denfes that a blockade of the island of Madagascar has been proclaimed by France. The minister of marine, M. Felix Maur, de- clares that before such a step could be taken the European powers would have to be in- formed of the intention of France. il s B WEEK'S RUN OF THE MILLS. Minueapolis Increises Her Output with % m Little Easler. MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 3.—The North- westérn Miller gives the follow- ing epitome of the week’s milling news: Minneapolis mills last week ground 217,433 barrels of flour, against 210,443 barrels the week before. About the same capacity is runuing this week, with ample water power, Mills are gradually increasing the propor- tion of new wheat ground. Last week was another quiet one in the flour trade. Prices are, if there is any change, a trifle easier. The export end of the market is still far from satisfactory. Superior and Duluth mills ground 71,708 barrels, against 95,117 barrels the preceding week. Export ship- ments, 38,669 barrels, against 31,030 barrels the week before, and 17,669 barrels Sxport freights are low, and it is r that shading is belng done. Prices abroad are lower than ever before. At Milwaukee the output was 39,148 barrels, against 38,9 the previous weel. Trade, if changed any. shows a littlo more activity than last week, and mills making high class bakers repor( that their sales are very good, while one s0ld far in excess of its capacity.

Legislation to Be Enacted In That Diree- tion at an Karly Perlod. A TON, Oct. 3.—Another attempt is to be made during the coming session of congress to enact legisiation for the better government of Alaska. The persons who lave already gone to that territory and made Investments are anxious to have laws provided which will make more secure prop- erty rights, and which will also establish closer commercial relations with the terri- tory and the United States. It has been suggested that one of the first steps toward bringing Alaska into closer communication with the United States and making it more useful to the government would be to or- ganize the territory as other territorfes have been organized, and send a delegate to con- gress to represent it, who could point out the needs of the people of the territory to the legislators. This idea is combated by those who claim that at present there are not enough whi people 11 the territory to constitute a repre- sentative government, and that the nat population has not yet attained a degree intelligence to entitle it to participate in government affairs, Because of lack of leg- islation the development of Alaskan mines, which are said to be very rich, is retarded. Most of these mines are of a character that requires a great deal of machinery to op- erate them, and considerable capital must be invested before any results can be ob- tained.. It is possible that in the short ses- sion of congress there will be no time for men of the far northwest territory, yet .he men who have been pushing west for many years are determined that something must be done for the far northwest, and the matter will be pushed before congress, and even it no aclon Is taken, it is expected way may be opened for something st tial in the next congress. mt Indicates Con gress in That Direction. WASHANGTON, Oct, 3.—Gencral Arm- strong, acting commissioner of Indian affairs, says that the annual reports received from the various Indian agencies show that on the whole the Indians were reasonably pros- vercus during the last fiscal year. Th death rate has not been large nor dees there appear to be any decrease in the number of Indians under government charge. The year was one of peace, there having been very few disturbances of troubles usually occurring among the Indians It is evident from the reporte received that the tribal relations of the Indians are becoming less binding and the individual In- dians are becoming more independent of the government and more self-supporting. The allotting agents of the government have been kept busy the past year, many Indians evinc- ing desires to own their own lands, The In- dian authorities believe that in allotting | tracts of land to individuals the longest step has been toward civilization, and that the Indians are more easily governed by the agents and the burean when each has a personal and Individual interest in his home The reports show that Indian education is progressing quite satisfactorily and that the Indians show greater willingness than here- tofore to avall themselves of the school ad- vantages offered by the government. RESULT OF SM{TH'S VACATION, Interior Department Business Suspended in the Absence of the Secretary. SHINGTON, Oct. 8.—When Secretary Smith returns tc the Interior department he will find himse!f for a time immersed in busi- ness of that department. No appointments have been made during his absence and it s understood that a large number are awaiting his action, including a number of changes to be made In the pemsion office. Then there are all the annual reports that come in during the fall, but which will not be made public until the secretary has had an OppOTtUNity to examine them. Reports from the governors of most of the territorfes have been received already. The bureau officlals are preparing their reports, which will be placed in the secretary’s hands soon after his return, Secretary Smith is ex- pected to return soon after the election In Georgla, fowa and Nebraska Postal Changes.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.—A call has been {s- sued for the regular meeting of the West- ern Passenger association on next Tuesday. The principal matter of business to be con- sidered is the demoralization in the west- bound through rates from association ter- ritory, as effected by conditions prevalling between lines of the western association territory. The eastern liues out of Chicago are troubled by an insufficient number of cars to bandle the heavy amount of grain which the western roads have been pouring into Chi- cago for the last three weeks.

BARLEY IN SCARCE Pacific Coast Shippers Unable to Seeure s Cargo. PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 3.—~The ship Reaper (s being loaded with wheat for New York. Much speculation has been Indluged in as to why this cereal is being shipped to New York, where it can only be sold at 4 loss. The reason can be attributed to the big fires of September 22, when the Pa= cific Coast elevator and its contents’ were burned. The Reaper was chartered by the elevator company to take barley to New York, and the grain with which she was to be loaded was in store at the clevator, This was destroyed, and as ihe ship's charter would not allow her to wait until another cargo of barley is accumulated she took a cargo of wheat.
