PAniS, Nov. 4. In the Chamber today M.
Bemhat (radical socialist) interpellated the
government on tho Franco-Turkish dispute,
noticing tho action taken as being for a
material end and contending that Franco
ought to have Interfered at the time of tho
Armenian massacres.
The foreign minister, M. Dolcnsso, replied
that France'a patlcnco wan exhausted by tho
porto's breaking Its owa promises. Franco
In tho present difficulty pursued no fresh
advantage, but everybody would agree that
this effort on the part of Franco ought to at
least nervo to put an end to tho annoyanco
end unjust treatment of which France's
workers la tho Orient had been tho object.
Hn added: "Unless Parliament arrests our
action the government wishes to show that
FrAnco, after exemplary patience, has other
thlngti to opposo to tho long and persistent
refusal to do Justtco thnn simple observa
tions. Tho government intorvraed In the
quays question in order to get Turkey to
fulfill Its engagements. If tho government
bad not done so there would have been an
end of tho numerous enterprises which
Fiance has created In Turkey In the shapo
of railroads, roads, lighthouses and banks.
"Tho porto has also persisted In lis re
fusal to reimburse Mine. Ttlblnl and Lo
rando In iiplto of tho decrees of tho trib
unals In their favor. The government will
only present to the portc demands which
arc In conformity with its conscience and
which can be sustained in perfect tran
quillity of mind before the wholo world.
The debt has neon reduced by a large per
centage and the porte In August agreed to
give satisfaction, but on tho morrow these
arrangements were forgotten and others
were proposed. Our minister then ceased
official relations with tho porto. There was
no ultimatum, but the cessation of relations
Indicated that the government took trio
portc's word seriously and that It. intended
that the engagements catered Into
should bo rerprcted, but reserved to Haelf
fixing the moment for their execution.

"Our right? are j;e,i;tan ,nnd .nobody will
dispute l hem. Our' action is legitimate
and nobody can take umbrage at it, and our
patience has boon long, ho our action muit
be more resolute."
As to Armenia, M. Delcasso stated that
during tho last three years he had not
overlooked the question and while defending
Franco's material Interests, ho had dis
played oqual solicitude for its moral In
tel ests and for Us traditions.
M. Delcdssc snld nlso that the appear
nnco of French cruisers off the Turkish
coast had several times proved thnt France
had not forgotten tho protection It owed to
Christians and the latter understood this.
It was true that the reforms promised the
Armenians had not boon executed, that
the Armenians had too often been tho vic
tims of unpunished outrages end that op
pression nlso reigned in Macedonia nnd In
Old Sorvla. Tho French government had
put forth every affort to restoro Justice
nnd tranquillity, but France was not alone
bound by the treaty of Berlin. The cham
ber could, rest assured that the govern
ment wouid never forget Its duties toward
humanity, but It must first of all remem
ber Its duties toward France.
The foreign minister's statement was
greeted with applause.
!lemunl Mnkra Objrction.
M. Semhal was not satisfied with M. Del
casse's statements and moved that tho
chamber, .convinced that Franco would tall
In Its duty It It did not protect the Ar
menians In an effectual manner, resolve
that tho government facilitate this protest
by an agreement between tho powers.
M, Walderk-Rousscnu then rose and said
M. Delcasse's declarations showed that the
government's task was heavy. As the gov
ernment desired respect for tho Interests
of lt fellow cltlr.ens, so It Intended to 'de
fend the patromony of moral Interests de
volving upon France. It needed the confi
dence of tho chamber In order to accomplish
Its task.
M. Scmbal's motion was rejected by 394
to 75 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 tho order of
the day. i
The. Chamber then by 307 to "7 voles sus
tained tho government's action In regard to
Turkey and expressed rcconfldeacr In tho

Prior to the debuto on tho Turkish Incl

proposed to tnko In accord with other gov

to removo the women nnd children In tho
Kouth Alrlrnn concentration camps to

M, neschnnel, president of the chamber,
remarked that It would bu dllllcult to Inter

After r. brief discussion, during which
M. Mlllopye was railed to order for speak

tho chsmber decided to debate M. Berry's

SETH LOW, BEARDS THE TIGER
Tn m in niij-. In Desperate Mtrnlls, Put
Forth the Ktrnncrst KrTnrtn to
Accompllnh III Detent,
NEW YORK. Nov. 4. At 12 o'clock to
night, bIx hours before tho opening of tho
polls, both sides In the municipal contest
were claiming tho victory. The most
strenuous talk came from tho fusion lead
ers, who wcro more lu evidence at their
headquarters thau wcro tho democrats at
theirs, tho latter, after tho distribution of
campaign funds In tho afternoon., having
hurried to their several election precincts
to glvn their last orders to their follow
ers. John A. Mason of tho Shepard head
quarters said ho felt confident of thn result
and- placed tho democratic candidate's
majority at 10,000.
During tho Into afternoon Pcth Low, the
fusion candidate, at his own headquarters,
suld: "I think things could not look more
rosy,'! and added, "this has been n most
Interesting campaign. Tho fight is now
over and, no matter who is elected, I am
suro tho city will profit by tho agitation of
the questions which havo been tho mala
Issues of tho campaign."
Robert U. Morris, chairman of the repub
lican campaign commlttco, stuck to his es
timate of 70,000 for Mr. Low.
Edward M. Shepard said this evening that
he had no particular statement to make
and nothing to ny of tho campaign beyond
what he had already said and no Issues to
discuss further than he has already dis
cussed them.
I.ntv l.rndH In IK-ttliiK
If tho belting on tho result Is nny Indica
tion as to what tho count of ballots will
show, the fusion candidate seem to havo
the better of It by a shade. Ijito tonight
wagers wcro laid nt 10 to 7 on Low and tho
rest of tho city ticket.
Thero is not the same confidence on the
fusion side us to the county ticket and
predictions aro made that all the. candi
dates on the democratic county ticket in
New York will bo elected with tho posslbla
exception of Robort A. Van Wyck for Jus
tice of tho supremo court, who has had to
bear the brunt of the attack, and Henry W.
Unger for district attorney.
Possibly on account of tho whirlwind
campaign ho has mado William Trnvcrs
Jerome, fusion candidate for thlfl office,
was getting the benefit of predictions that
ho would run nhcad of his ticket, but the
bottlng oddR favored Mr. Unger.'
Richard Croker and John F. Carroll lato
tonight were posltlvo of tho election of
tho entire democratic city and county
tickets. Mr. Croker nlso rlalmed that
Kings county would go democratic, whllo
Lieutenant Governor Woodiuff nnd Otto
Kempner talked of 10.000 and 2B.O0O, re
spectively, for tho fusion candidates In
that county.
Thcso estimates on tho Brooklyn vote
wcro the ono discouraging feature In tho
fusion camp. Tho biggest estimates made
by the fuslonlsts nro based on n 25,000 fu
sion majority In Brooklyn. Nono of the
fusion lenders agree on the majority that
tho city ticket will have In Manhattan nnd
the Bronx.
Ilrnoklrn Clnlmrd for Shriinrd.
At the Democratic club tonight Brooklyn
wns claimed for Shopardi anJ" tUo( ;l6mo
eratlo ticket by 3,000 trt.An,lrjrJ,Uccns
county was claimed by T.IOO inaj&rlty
and Richmond by'l.000.
Notwithstanding tho claims of tho dem
ocrats and thoso of the fuslonlsts, the elec
tion will likely bo- a very close one. Both
sides arc counting on the independent
voters.
Superintendent of Elections McCullough
addressed another letter today to Police
Commissioner Murphy, In which ho fur
nished a lnrge number of eloction precincts
In which he claimed frauds would bo at
tempted. Mr. McCullough told Mr. Murphy
that when the stnto deputies mado arrests
to'mcrrow tho persons arrested would bo
turned over to tho policemen at the polls
nnd Colonel Murphy was requested In tho
lotter to Issue orders to tho pollco to at
onco toko such prisoners to thn nearest
magistrate. Thero was n feeling of fear
tonight that beforo election day was over
there would bo frequent clashes between
the stato deputies and the police.

of both tho republican and fusion parties to

Chairman Reeder of tho republican party
said tonight" that late advices received from
western and northwestern counties lend him
to ralso his former estimate. Ho now says
Harris and Potter, the republican candi
dates for state treasurer and supremo court
Justice, will have nearer 110,000 than 100.0UO
majority.
Chairman Creasy of the democratic state
committee declined to give figures, but con
fidently predicted tho election of Coray and
Yerkes, tho fusion candidates for Btato

Ho said: "I can conscientiously say that
Coray and Yerkes will be elected.. Two

The campaign closed last night with both
republican and democratic forces express
ing confldcnco of success in today's elec
tion, though it was generally admitted that
the bad weather predicted for today would
still farther reduce tho vote, suro to bu
light at all events. Observer Welsh said
tho conditions Indicated snow flurries and
gradually rislug temperature, which will
mean a damp, chilly atmosphere.
Tho light registration has bcuu a disap
pointment to those Interested in tho out
como of the contest. Tho third and last
duy of registration closed Saturday night
with a total of only 19,231 names enrolled
for Omaha nud South Omaha, ns against
20,713 for tho two cities a year ago, n fall
ing off of nearly 28 per cent. Many citizens
disfranchised themselves by neglecting to
register, thinking they would bo permitted
to swear their votes In, but thcso will bo
disappointed unless thoy havo a legal klud
of an excuse. Sickness, disability or ab
sence from tho city on tho occasion of all
thrco registration days aro tho only ex
cuses that wilt bo accepted by tho election
officers. Several would-bo voters havo al
ready learned that tbo rain of last Satur
day will not extenuate tho neglect to regis
ter. t'linlrnirii Arr Confident.
Chairman Goss of tho republican county
commlttco had this to say on tbo cvo of
election: "Wo aro now busy Issuing final
Instructions to our workers nnd expect to
have tho usual number of hustlers nnd chal
lengers nt tho various voting plnces tomor
row. Since tbo registration booths closed
last Saturday night nothing has transpired
to change- the appearance of things. I
think tho registration Is moro favorable to
us than Inst year. All Indications point to
the election of tho cntlro ticket. Our can
didates and our committees have worked en
ergetically and harmoniously and tho ticket
seems to be moro generally npproved by all
members of tho party than nny other
ticket nominated for years."
Chairman Howell of tho democratic com
mittee sized up tho situation from his
standpoint ns follows: "I think wo wilt
elect our ticket, nt least nil of the Impor
tant candidates on It. There may bo somo
of tho minor offices that wo will lose out on
some of tho Justices of tho peace, perhaps
but on tho wholo I think the outlook Is
moro fnvornblo for us than It was a year
ago.
"Of course, thoro will bo n light voto,
and we couldn't expect anything elso under
existing conditions, bu wo will havo from
one to two workers In every precinct and
a carriage In every precinct, so that bad
weather will bo no excuse for a voter not
casting his ballot."
lloth, -airtrN Watchful. V
Both republican and democratic head
quarters presented busy scenes last night,
ns challengers and precinct workers wero
nn hand to receive their final Instructions.
Thcru was an evident determination by
the party leaders of both sides not to over
look any bets.
City Clerk Elbourn will bo at his office
today with n force of notaries to mako out
affidavits for thoso who desire to swear In
their votes. Ho says, however, that ho will
accept only tho excuses provided by law.
Heretofore certificates havo been Issued tho
voters who gavo as their excuse that thoy
wore too busy to register, or somo similar
explanation. Thcso certificates nro Invari

Tho headquarters of tho populist com
mlttco presented a deserted appenrancc.
Chairman De France and a fow of his co
workers gathered around a stovo In tho
dimly lighted office In tho Fitzgerald
building and talked over the prospects, hut
the real work of tho commltteo was con
cluded Saturday evening. When approached
by reporters they assumed a confident ex
pression and made extravagant claims, as
serting that Judge Hollenbeck would win
by at least 12,000 votes.
Chairman Do Franco of tho populist stato
commlttco confidently predicts u. majority of
from 12.000 to 15,000 for Judge Hollenbeck.
In a statement given out this morning he
says:
"The result In Nebraska Inst year was
fully as much of a surprlso to the repub
licans as It was (o the democrats and pop
ulist j. 'Perhaps no one of tho republican
state candidates really expected to bo
elected. Had It not been for the work done
by Edward Roecwater and Schneider, the
state could not have been carried for Mc
Klnley or any of the republican state
officers. Thcso gentlemen wore responsible
for shipping Into Nebraska about 8,000 or
9,000 former Nebraskans who voted the re
publican ticket. No, I am not charging
lioBowater and Schneider with procuring
illegal votes that's not tho Idea; they sim
ply brought back every republican who had
the faintest shadow of right to vote here.

CHICAGO, Nov, 4. (Special Telegram.)
Railway nnd financial circles weru stirred
today by an announcement coming from an
official and thoroughly rellablo source thnt
at last tho air of Wall ureot and tho
western traffic world was to be clarified by
tho settlement of the differences of tho
Burlington, Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and Union Pacific companies. A
compromise arrangement has been made, It
Is unnounccd, In which J. J. Hill, Hnrrlmnn
nnd Kuhn, Ixjob ft Co., representing domes
tic shareholders, aro all apparently satis
fied. For something more than a month ths
marts of finance have been on dgu ns to
what these rival railway magnates pro
posed to do in tho way of settling differ
ences which really dato back to tho time
when tho great corner wns run ou Northern
Pacific. Whllo a state of unreal has upset
the financial end, tho traffic end has fared
even worse, and rumor, of dltnstrnua rate
wars havo kept the trnlfin monnger.i
nrouscd.
Now, according to official Information
brought from Now York, all this Is to bo
altered and thn change Is to be brought
about In nil its essential details late this
week or at the latest tho early part of next
week.
Messrs. Hill and Hnrrlmun. nFslsted by tlvi
New York banking house, will work thM
transformation scene by tho formation of n,
security company, of which Hill will bo
the president. Tho directory will Includo
the Harriman and Kuhn, Iool) & Co.
party, and the organization will embrace,
all of tho stocks nnd bonds of the Northern
Pacific, Great. Northern and Burlington
railways. The Union Pacific will have a
one-third Interest In tho combination, com
ing In because ot Its holdings of the com
mon stock of tho Northern Pacific.
Allotment of Territory.
All ot tho companies will have allotted
to them a certain territory lu which lo
control traffic, an that thorn will be no
conflict on that core.( No chuogq yvill lis
made In the auiounl or denomination value
except in the single instance of tho pre
ferred Issue of tho Northern Pacific stock,
which will be retired by a HJ per rent
bond on a basis somnwhorc around US and
120.
This allotment of territory is regarded
as a skillful move on the part of the mil
way magnates and ono likely to cause sut
pfise and consternation in western traffic
circles, eventually, perhaps, leading to rad
ical changes In local general offices.
To tho bulls and beam nf tho stock
market, however, who for something moro
than a month havo been hHuntcd by jho un
certainty existing, the skillful turn given to
affairs comes as a great relief. Northern
Pacific, under tho arrangement comes In
for nn equal share In all profits, .and for
once Messrs. Harriman, Hill and Kuhn,
Locb & Co., lie down together as peace
fully as the lion and tho Iamb, and thn
arrangement Indicates that no trnfflu mnn
nger will try to disturb their peace.
WAITS VANDERBILT'S APPROVAL

thr Plan. t
NEW YORK, Nov. I.It was unofficially
stated tonight thnt an agreement had been
practically reached whereby tho tangle In
the northwestern rnllrond 'situation, result-
tng from tho corner of Northorn Parlfu;
shares on the Stock exchango early In May,
nnd which caused tho panic of Mny 9, will
be settlrd.
Officials connected with the various com
panies at Interest absolutely refuse to give
out nnv statement of tho rumored agree
ment, but It Is stated on good nutborlty
that the settlement, involving tho wide
spread interests nf tho Union Pacific rall
woy, Iho Great Northern and tho Northorn
Pacific railroads, will be based primarily on
tho retirement of tho Northern Pacific pre
ferred stock on a bnsls of 115 or above and
the Issuance of l',i per cent bonds, one
third of which, It was stated, would bo
allotted to the Union Pacific Interests.
Tho crux of tho reported agreement luy In
tho proposed division of territory, whereby
each of tho railroads mentioned shnll havo
complete traffic agreements regarding a rcr-,
tain territory on tho country tapped by
those lines.
It Is generally understood that this plan
of settlement awaits the approval of W. K.
Vandcrbllt, who Is expected to arrive from
Europo on Wednesday's steamer.
