j i [Special to Press Association.] | LONDON, Oct. 14 i Tho French Government have demanded that the Recidiviste Bill should be discussed at the next sit- \ ting of the Chamber, but this was resisted, and motions passed deciding to await M. Levielle's report as to the | suitability of Cayenne for the depor- [ tation of criminals before proceeding i with the measure, when an early disi cussion was agreed upon. It was contended that the present haste in | the matter was uncivil to England, although it might appear pleasing to Germany. LONDON, Oct. 15. Intelligence to hand from Souakim states that the inhabitants of Amara have joined Osman Digna. Eugland is urging that the dealings of the Conference to be held in Berlin should be limited to unoccupied African territory. The offer of assistance recently made by Canada to the Cape Government has not been confirmed. The Meridian Conference have accepted the Meridian of Greenwich as the standard, the representatives of France and Brazil alone objecting to it.
