LONDON. Oct. 24. The French Yellow Book on Fashoda seems to Indicate an intention on the part of the French Government to utilise the Marchand affair as a means of raising the whole Egyptian Ques tion. This impression Is conflrmed by the comments of most of the.

with equal firmness declines to withdraw Marchand without previous the situation baa an ominous look. J. The Times, in its editorial, says Lord Salisbury has not replied to Baron de Cour- fr.prsten",on wIth the decision which might have been hoped for. Courcel, after a long conference with M.
