THE :SAN - FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 11, EMBASSADOR MONSON SPOKE FOR SALISBURY Talk at Paris Inspired. His MAY HAVE EXCEEDED BOUNDS PROBABLY SAID MORE THAN WAS INTENDED. England Determined to Force an Early Settlement of Points in Dispute With the French Government, Special Dispatch to The Call LONDON, Dec. 10.—There were two prominent figures in the political arena this week—the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, and the British Embassador at Paris, Sir Edmund J. Monson. The address of the latter to the British Chamber of Com- merce at Paris came like a peal of thunder, causing dismay on both sides of the channel, where many people had affected to discern already a faint out- line of a peace rainbow between France and Great Britain as a sequel to the of the Fashoda storm. The ion was that Sir Edmund Monson had received a cue from the Marquis of Salisbury to give a candid warning to France that Great Britain is fully determined not to stand any further pin-prick nonsense. This opin- ion still prevails, a.though it has been mewhat modified by the explanation which the Embassador sent to the French press, and it is now thought | Monson got an official tip to give Franc rning, but that he spoke more than was intended. Th ss, however, has served as to the people of both coun- that the fire of the Soudan em- smouldering and may burst o flame before it is finally disposed he Embassador's warning, ac- qualified to know, was e fact that the French sulking over the Mar- s evading diplomatic di ding Anglo-French pro s intended to intimate th: 1ge of French Embassa- ondon this week Baron de ing succeeded by M.
