The production of "A Hired Girl" at Fer guson's theatre last night was a sore disap pointment to an audienco that tilled the theatre and the Illauey reputation has re ceived a set-back in tlio estimation of tliu local theatre patrons. It is seldom that a company embracing so many pooplo gives as little entertainment. "Tlio Hired Girl" is trashy, and when attempts at humor aro made tho chestnuts fall thick. Tho titlo rolo docs not create ton minutes real fun during tho ontlro production and, with one or two exceptions, tlio specialties aro of a very or dinary character. Tlio entire second act of tho pieco is a reproduction of tho laundry scene in "A Ilaggago Check" with the hired girl substituted fur tho boy.

How did your namo get thoro?" "I can't tell that, either. It might bo that Scanlan camo into tho ollico. I haven't any collection of Scanlan coming to the ollice id saying anything about tho name. I ould havo done it unconsciously, never linking of what I was doing, or anything else, or anybody being there." Did Mrs. Mellet sign that bond with her mark in your presence?" That I don t know. I cin't remember s. Mellet signing anything in my pres- Mi uco, and I cau't say when I signed that my self." liy Mr. Keilly : "You havo no recollection f Mrs. Mullet's namo being put to that ond, and her making her mark in your rcsonco at any time, or at any placu? I havo not," "And you would have no reason for think- ng or saying that your namo appeared ou tlio loud as a witness to her name and mark, ex ccpt that your name is written opposite?"

The Pnrla epondent of The Dally Mall corre says: "Franco will retire from Fashoda un conditionally and without asking coin peiipatloti. "IJaron de Courccl, whose term aa French ambassador In London expired long- aco, but who has hold on to con duet negotiations affectliiff Egypt, will now bo recalled, and no haste will be shown to appoint his successor, with a view ot inakinK French resentment at British action, for England has al most taken the placo of Germany as the object o French hatred. "Haron De Courcel gathered from a conversation held after the last Urlt Ish cabinet council that Lord Salis bury's attitude had undergone achunge, the British premier insisting that it was Impossible to disregard public opinion In England, and that nothing could he done until Fnshoda was evac uated. "So far as French public opinion Is concerned, there is not the slightest Idea of koIiib to war for Fashoda, and any government doing so would be re garded as a government of imbeciles." The Daily Graphic says this morn ing: "Vo learn from an ofllclal source In Paris that Captain Haratler bears instructions to Major Mnrchand to re turn to Fashoda, and then to withdraw his expedition In the direction of the upper Ubanghl river, north of Congo, evacuating Fashoda and the live posts established by him east of tho frontier indicated in the Anglo-German agree ment. "Tho Egyptian government will bo Invited to send troops to accompany Major Marchand as he retires from tho Bahr-El-Ghazal territory, and to re occupy the posts as they are evacuated by the French odlcers, thus solving the difficulty concerning Major Marchand's revictuulment. "When Major Marchand's retirement Is fully ncompllshed negotiations based on proposals submitted by Baron do Courcel to Great Drttaln will be open ed. France Is disposed to recognize frankly that the reconquest of Omdur mnn completely changes the situation as It existed when Mnjor Marchand was Instructed to proceed to the Nile. The French government will even state that, had Marchand been aware of the khedlvnl ndvance, he would not have pushed his mission so far east. These Intentions have not yet been ottlclally Imparted to Great Britain, but they probabJy will be before Major Mar chand's evncuatlon comincnn's." Without going ho far as Tho Pally Granhlc, all the special dispatches from Paris to the morning papers Indicate that the solution predicted hy The Dally Graphic will be the one finally reached, and that, even should France sulk diplomatically, .1) further serious consequences are anticipated It Is not believed, however, that Franc w ".' pursue the useless course of leaving her embassy in London vacant. The acqulr.ecence of the French peo ple In the revision of the Drey t us case Justifies tho French cabinet In a con ciliatory policy. Only ns a means of withdrawing attention from Internal troubles could the French government entertain the Idea of risking war for Fashodn, and since theic Is no sign of disorders In Paris the whole situation has changed. The war ollice has Issued a semi official notification In which It says It does not object to the papers announc ing military and naval preparations In general terms, but points out that It Would be "unpatriotic to publish spe cific details that might be useful to a possible foe." There Is no noticeable cessation In England's preparations, and the ofU- clals aro confident ot tho country's ability to meet all emergencies. Theri wcro largo shipments of guns, shells and war stores to Alalia ami Gibraltar yesterday. The dispatches from France nnnounoo equal activity at Toulon, Brest, Mar seilles and elsewhere.
