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

tlon Fixing It on November 88
WASHINGTON Nov 4 President
Roosevelt Saturday issued his procla
mation fixing Thursday November 28
as a day of national thanksgiving It
follows
Tho season is nigh when according
to the time hallowed custom of our
people the president appoints a day
as the especial occasion for praise and
thanksgiving to God
This Thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death
of a great and good president We
mourn President McKinley we also
honored him and the manner of his
death should awaken in the breasts
of our people a keen anxiety for the
country and at the same time a reso
lute purpose not to be driven by any
calamity from the path of strong or
derly popular liberty which as a na
tion we 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 of
peace and plenty We have prosperity
in things material and have been able
to work for our own uplifting in
things intellectual and spiritual Let
us remember that as much has been
given us much will 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 and at this time each of us does
his duty to his fellow men
Now therefore I Theodore Roose
velt president of the United States
do hereby designate as a day of gen
eral thanksgiving Thursday the 28th
of this present November and do rec
ommend that throughout the land the
people cease from their wonted occu
pations and at their several homes and
places of worship reverently thank the
Giver of all Good for the countless
blessings of our nation
In witness of which I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington this
second day of November in the year
of our Lord 1901 and of the independ
ence of the United States the 126th

Nebraska grown trees among farmers
on a contract by which he is to re
ceive half of the product for a term
of years the farmer to cultivate the
trees according to instructions The

STATE BOUNDARY PUZZLE
Step to Bo Tnken to Make Present Klver
Channel che Lluc
OMAHA Neb Nov 4 Tho deci
sion of the United States supreme
court in the matter of tho Iowa-Nebraska
boundary 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

shots and saw Fetterly fall and after
