Bembat (radical socialist) interpellated the government on the Franco-Turkish disput: Doticing the action taken as being for a material end and contending that France ought to have interfered at the time of the Armenian massacres, The forelgn minister, M. Delcasse, replied that France's patience was exhausted by the porte's breaking its owa promiees. France in the present difficulty pursued no fresh advantage, but everybody would agree that this effort on the part of France ought to at least merve to put an end to the annoyance and unjust treatment of which France's ‘workers in the Orlent had been the object. He added: “Unless Parliament arrests our action the government wishes to show that France, after exemplary patience, has other things to oppose to the long and persistent I to do justice than simple observ: The government intervemed In the quhys question in order to get Turkey to fulfill its engagements. If the government had not done so there would have been an end of the numerous emterprises which created In Turkey in the shape roads, lighthouses and banks. “The porte has also persisted in its re- fusal to reimburse Mme. Tubini and Lo- rando In apite of the decrees of the trib- unals in their favor. The government will only present to the porte demands which are in conformity with its conscience and which can be sustained in perfect tran- quillity of mind before the whole wor'ld. The debt has been reduced by a large per- centage and the porte in August agreed to give satisfaction, but on the morrow these arramgements were forgotten and others ‘were proposed. Our minister then ceased official relations with the porte. There was no ultimatum, but the cessation of relations indicated that the government took tHe porte’s word serfously and that it intended that the engagements estered into should be’ reepected, but reserved to itself fixing the moment for thelr execution. Rights Ave Well Defined. “Our rights are certain and nobody will dispute them. = Our’ action is legitimate and nobody can take umbrage at it, and our patience has been long, so our action must be more resolute.” As to Armenia, M. Delcasse stated that during the last three years he had not overlooked the question and while defending France's material interests, he had dis- played equal solicitude for its moral in- terests and for its traditions. M. Delcasse sald also that the appear- ance of French crulsers off the Turkish coast had several times proved that France had not forgotten the protection it owed to Christians and the latter understood this. It was true that the reforms promised the Armenians had not been executed, that the Armenians had too often been the vic- tims of unpunished outrages ~nd that op- pressfon also reigned in Macedonia and in 0ld Servia. The French government had put forth every offort to restore justice #nd tranquillity, but France was not alone hound by the treaty of Berlin.

Sembal Makes O M. Sembal was not satisfied with M. Del- casse’'s statements and moved that the chamber, convinced that France would tail in its duty It it did not protect the Ar- menlans in an effectual manner, resolve that the government facllitate this protest by an agrecment between the powers. M. Waldeck-Rousseau then rose and said M. Delcasse’s declarations showed that the government's task was heavy. As the gov- erument desired respect for the interests of its fellow citizens, so it intended to'de- fend the patromony of moral interests de- volving upon Krance. It needed the confi- dence of the chamber in order to accomplish Its task. M. Sembal's motion wak rejected by 304 to 76 votes. M. Castenet then moved that the chamber, confident that the govern- ment would enforce respect for the interests and honor of France, pass to the order of the day. The Chamber then by 307 to 77 votes sus- tained the government's action in regard to Turkey and expressed reconfidemce in the government. Rellef in South Afr Prior to the debate on the Turkish incis dent M. Berry asked leave to interpellate the government regarding the measures it proposed to take in accord with other gov- ernmen:s to call on the British government 10 remove the women and children in the South Atriean concentration camps to healthful districts. M. Deschanel, president of the chamber, marked that it would be difficult to inter- pellate the French government for the s of the Britlsh government. After brief discussion, during which M.

NEWARK CROWD GREETS CHIEF EXECUTIVE Trip Is Arranged for So Quietly, How- NEW YOR¥ 4.—President and Mrs. Roosevelt and party arrived in New York at 6:20 o'clock tonight, an hour and twenty minutes behind schedule time. The party remained in New York over night and to- { morrow will be taken to Oyster Bay, Long | Island, where the president will cast his vote. He will remain scarcely more than an hour in Oyster Bay, returning in time to | take an afternoon train tomorrow out of Jersey City for Washington. The presi- dent was in excellent spirits and enjoyed to a degree the little respite from official exactions. He spent most of the trip trom Washington chatting jovially with the rest of his party or on the observation plat- form of his car. Owing to the care with which the exact itinerary of the trip was guarded from the public there were but a fow people along the line waiting to see the president, until Nowark was reached. There a crowd pressed the depot gates. The president took along with him as far as Baltimore, | Casper Whitney. At Baltimore he gpent the three or four minutes’ stop pacing ‘the depot platform alone. The day was cloudy and threatening and he remarked that it was a fitting contrast to the weather conditions he hoped for tomorrow. Wreek Causes Delay. The only untoward Incident of the journey was the delay due to a frelght wreck at Claymont, Del., which made it necessary to shift the train to the Baltimore & Ohlo tracks where it ran as far as West Phil- adelphia. As the train lay in the yards for some minutes the president stepped to the plat- form and smilingly greeted a group of rail- road employes, who climbed up on the plat- form and shook hands with him. He told them that be was glad to see their interes: in politics, s evidenced by the municipal campaign buttons they wore. When the train pulled into the Jersey City depot It had made up a few minutes time. A big crowd had gathered and & number of secret service men, detectives and newspaper men followed the party to the ferry boat, where carriages were wait- ing. Arriving at New York the president and party were driven to the residence of the president’s aunt, Mrs. James Roosevelt. Mr. Roosevelt will take a ferry early to- morrow morning for Long Island City, where a special train will be In waiting, fon Oyster Bay. Secretary Cortelyou will leave the others at Mineola and drive over to Hempstead to vote, while the president and his aesistant secretary, Mr. Loeb, will cast thelr votes at Oyster Bay. Spendn the Evening Out. About 10 o'clock the president left his aunt’s home and, in company with one of Willlam A. Reosevelt, went in a closed automobile to the Century club, where ten or a dozen personal friends gave him an informal reception. No list of those present was given out, but it is known Prof. Nicholas Murray Butler and Prof. Brandon Matthews were among them. After this President Roosevelt returned to his aurt's residence to spend the night. On his way to and from the club the president was closely guarded by detectives, a dozen in all, and detectives and police guard the house in which he slept through- out the night. ARMED MEN AT THE POLLS Sheriff is Said Deputies and to Ha Appo Police Force o creased for Oceasion, DENVER, Nov. 4.—Both the democratic and republican party leaders tonight ex- press confidence in the result of tomorrow's election. The democrats control several of the county offices. The sheriff, however, supports the republican rticket, and it fs asserted that he will appoint a large num- ber of deputies for duty at polls, while on the other hand the fire and police board composed of democrats is charged with ap- pointing a large force of special policemen to counteract the action of the sheriff. Two years ago a collision occurred between the police and the deputy sheriffs, in which several men were killed and wounded, and similar trouble is expected this year if the same tactics be followed, The election throughout the state includes only county offices and in only a few coun- tles is much interest taken in the result.

The most | strenuous talk came from the fusion lead- | ers, who were more in evidence at their | headquarters than were the democrats at thelrs, the latter, atter the distribution of campaign funds in the afternoon, having hurried to their several election precincts to give their last orders to their follow- {ers. John A. Mason of the Shepard head- quarters said he felt confident of the result and’ placed the democratic candidate’s majority at 40,000, During the late afternoon Eeth Low, the tusion candidate. at his own headquarters, | sald: "I think things could mot look more | rosy,” and added, “this has been a most | interesting campaign. The fight is now over and, no matter who is elected, 1 am suro the city will profit by the agltation of the questions which have been the maln issues of the campaign.” Robert C. Morris, chairman of the repub- lican campaign committee, stuck to his es- timate of 70,000 for Mr. Low. Edward M. Shepard said this evening that he had no particular statoment to make and nothing to way of the campaign beyond what he had already said and no issues to discuss further than he has already dis- ussed them. Low Leads in el It the betting on the result is any indiea tion as to what the count of ballots will show, the fusion candidatee¥seem to have | the better of it by a shade. Late tonight wagers wero laid at 10 to 7 off Low and the rest of the city ticket. There is not the same confidence on the fusion side as to the county ticket and predictions are made that all the candi- dates on the democratic county ticket in New York will be elected with the possiblo exception of Robert A. Van Wyck for jus- tice of the supreme court, who has had to bear the hrunt of the attack, and Henry W. Unger for district attorney. Possibly on account of the whirlwind campaign ho has made William Travers Jerome, fusion candidate for this office, was getting the benefit of predfictions that he would run ahead of his ticket, but the betting odds favored Mr. Unger: Richard Croker and John F. Carroll late tonight were positive of the election of the entire democratic city and county tickets. Mr. Croker also rlaimed that Kings county would go democratic, while Lieutenant Governor Woodiuff and Otto Kempner talked of 10,000 and 25,000, re- spectively, for the fusion candidates in that county. These estimates on the Brooklyn vote were the one discouraging feature in the tusion camp. The biggest estimates made by the fusionists are based on a 25,000 fu- {sion majority In Brookiyn. Nene of the tusion leaders agree on the mmjority that the city ticket will have in Manhattan and the Bronx. Broekiyn C! med for Shepard. At the Democratic club tonight Brooklyn was claimed for Shepard an . demo- cratic ticket by 3,000 nh ~Queens county was claimed by 1,500 majorlty and Richmond by '1,000. Notwithstanding the claims of the dem- ocrats and those of the fusionists, the elec- tion will likely be-a very close one. Both sides are counting on the independent vaters. Saperintendent of Elections McCullough addressed another letter today to Police Commisstoner Murphy, in which he fur nished a large number of election precincts | in which he claimed frauds would be at- tempted. Mr. McCullough told Mr. Murphy that when the state deputies made arrests tomcrrow the persons arrested would be turned over to the policemen at the polls and Colonel Murphy was requested in the lotter to issue orders to the police to at once take such prisoners to the nearest magistrate. There was a feeling of fear tonight that before clection day was over there would be frequent clashcs between the state deputies and the police, GOOD NEWS RAISES ESTIMATE Add Ten d an Re- Penusylvanin Republicans Thousand to Thelr sult of Late Advices.

This body will chooss a United States senator to succeed Senator George L. Wellington, who was chosen as a republican, and whose term will expire on March 2, 1903. The campaign, which was one of the shortest on record, was marked with an apathy on the part of the voters that has puzzled the leaders of both parties and left the result consider- | ably in doubt.

Since the registration booths closed last Saturday night nothing has transpired to change the appearance of things. 1 think the registration is more favorable to us than last year. All indications point to the election of the entire ticket. Our can- didates and our committees have worked en- ergetically and harmoniously and the ticket seems to be more generally approved by all members of the party than any other ticket nominated for years." Chairman Howell of the democratic com- mittee sized up the situation from his standpoint as follows: “I think we will elect our ticket, at least all of the impor- tant candidates on it. There may be some of the minor offices that we will lose out on ome of the justices of tho peace, perhaps but on the whole I think the outlook s more favorable for us than it was a year ago. “Ot course, there will be a light vote, and we couldn’t expect anything else under existing conditions, bu: we will have from one to two workers in every precinct and a carriage in every precinct, so that bad weather will be no excuse for a voter not casting his ballot.” Mot $ides Watchf ~ Both republican and democratic head- quarters presented busy scenes last night, a8 challengers and precinct workers were on hand to receive thelr final fustructions.

He says, however, that he will accept only the excuses provided by law. Heretotore certificates have been issued the voters who gave as their excuse that they were too busy to register, or some similar sxplanation.

He will vote here tomorrow morning and will come back to Lincoln to reccive the returns here in the evening. It i likely that Judge Sedgwick will also spend the evening in the re- publican headquarters. Today practically no work was done by the campaign commitices.

A compromise arrangement hae been made, it is announced, in which J. J. Hill, Harriman and Kulin, Loeb & Co., representing domes tic shareholders, are all apparently satis- fled For something more than a month the marts of finance have been on adge as to what these rival railway magnates pro- posed to do in the way of settling differ- ences which really date back to the time when the great corner was run on Northern Pacific. While a state of unrest has upser the financlal end, the traMc end has fared even worse, and rumors of dizastrous rate wars have kept the ftrafic managers aroused. Now, according o official information brought from New York, all this Is to be altered and the change 1s to be brought about in all its essential detalls late this week or at the latest the early part of next week. Messre. Hill and Harrlmun, assisted by tha New York banking house, will work this transformation scene by the formation of a decurity company, of which Hill will be the president. The directory will Inc the Harriman and Kubn, Loeb & (o party, and the organization will embrace all of the stocks and bonds of the Norther Pacific, Great. Northern and Burlington railwa; The Unlon Pacific will bave a one-third faterest in the combination, com- Ing In because ot its holdings of the com- mon stock of the Northern Pacific. Allotment of Territory. All of the companies will have allotted to them a cortalu territory In which 1o control trafe, so that there will be nn conflict on that score. No chuoge will be made in the anount or denomination values ‘except In the single instance of the pre- ferred issue of the Northern Pacific stock, which will be retired by a 43 per cent boud on a basls somewhere around 115 and 120. This allotment of territory is regarded a8 a skillful move on the part of the rail way magnates and one likely to cause sur- prise and cousternation in western tra circles, eveutually, perhaps, leading to rad- ical changes in local general ofices. To the bulls and bears of the stock market, however, who for something more than a month have been haunted by the un- certainty existing, the skilliul turn given to affairs comes as a great relief. Northern Pacific under the arrangement comes In for an equal share in all profits, and for once Messrs. Harriman, Mill and Kuhn, Loeb & Co., lle down together ae peace- fully as the lion and the lamb, and the arrangement indicates that no trafc man- ager will try to disturb thelr peace WAITS VANDERBILT’S APPROVAL Expected Wednesdny's Steamer to Say Yes or No to the P NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—It was unofelally stated tonight that an agreement had been practically reached whereby the tangle in the northwestern rullroad situation, resuli - ing from the corner of Northern Pacific shares on the Stock exchange early in May, and which caused the panfe of May 9, will be settled. OMclals connected with the various com- panies at interest absolutely refuse to give out any statement of the rumored agree ment, but it is stated on good authority that the settlement, involving the wide spread interests of the Unlon Pacific rail the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific rafiroads, will be based primarily on the retirement of the Northern Pacific pre- terred stock on a basis of 115 or above and the Issvance of 43 per cent bonds, one- third of which, it was stated, would be allotted to the Unlon Pacific interests. The crux of the reported agreement lay in the proposed division of territory, whereby each of the railroads mentioned shall have complete trafic agreements regarding a cer- tain territory on the country tapped by those lines. 1t {8 generally understood that this plan of sett!cment awaits the approval of W.
