to Enforce tho Decrees of the French Government PARIS Nov 4 This morning M Delcasse minister of foreign affairs telegraphed M Baptist counseler agent for the French embassy in Constanti nople directing him to present today to Tewfik Pasha Ottoman minister of foreign affairs a note asking how the Turkish government proposed to pay the Lorando claims and demanding the execution of the sultans irade dealing with that matter The note will also request satisfaction regarding the rights of France which are defined in the various treaties and which in some cases have not been respected and in others have been encroached upon by Turkey ine declarations of what has been done bears out the statement made yesterday regarding the intentions of the French government Admiral Cail lard is expected to reach his destina tion tomorrow The foreign office has received no news from him since his division left the other division of the Mediterranean squadron four days ago It is pointed out thatthe absence of news is not surprising as the in structions to Admiral Caillard were to -steer due south and avoid passing in sight of Boniiacio Corsica or travers ing the strait of Messina in order to prevent his movements being signaled The vessels of the division carried only a normal supply of coal but this would be much more than enough to enable them to steam 1500 miles the estimated distance they must cover be fore reaching their destination It is expected that Admiral Caillard will be joined en route by the torpedo cruiser Condora which is stationed in Cretan waters and may be met by the torpedo dispatch boat Vantour which is stationed at Constantinople It is also probable that the cruiser Admiral Charner which arrived at Port Said October 31 from the far east is being held nere in order to join Admiral Caillard if needed It is further reported that three oth er war ships are held in readiness at Toulon to reinforce him should their presence be necessary ICE RUNS ON THE

have thus far trod Yet in spite of the great disaster it is nevertheless true that no people on earth have such abundant cause for thanksgiving as we have the last year in particular having been one

be expected from us and that true homage eomes from the heart as well as from the lips and shows itself in deeds We can best prove our thankfulness to the Al mighty by the way in which on this earth

at Cut Off and East Omaha holding that the boundary changed with gradual changes of the river hut remained in the old bed of the river at the time of the sudden cut oft which put tho river prac tically where it is now has given rise to a troublesome condition which stops are to be taken to correct Illustrations of the difficulties work ed by the supreme court decision are found in this vicinity at Cut Off and Lake Manawa At both of these points the river bed changed gradu ally through a long series of years until the river flowed in the shape of a horse shoe and then suddenly cut through the neck between the ends of the shoe As a result a piece of ter ritory containing several square miles on the Nebraska side of the river at Cut Off is held to be Iowa territory On the other hand a large portion of Lake Manawa and the territory to the southward of it are held to be long in Sarpy county Nebraska It is now proposed that the actual bed of the river at any time shall con stitute the boundary between the two states It is stated this can be ef fected only by an act of congress but it is realized that the initial proceed ings will have to be taken by the communities most directly interested The change suggested would place Blue lake and Lake Manawa In Iowa and would give Cut Off lake and Lake Quinnebog to Nebraska THE PARMERS SHOT KILLED A Aran Supposed to Be a Thief
