FRANCE RECEIVES
ALL SHE ASKS
Diplomatic Relations With
Turkey Are Resumed After
the Set Element.

PARIS, Nov. 10.-The Foreign Office
key has issued an trade for the execu-
ton of his engagements with the
French Government, and that the
Franco-Turkish dispute is now at an
end. Tewfik Pasha, Ottoman Minister
of Foreign Affairs. wrote a letter to NJ.
Bapst, councillor of the French Embas-
sy in Ccnstantinople, notifying him OF
the signing of the trade, which, while
settling the original French demands,
accepts the French demands as set
forth in q dispatch to the Temps from
Constantinople Friday. together with
an additional clause, by which the Sui
tan pledges himself to consider as au-
thorized in fun right the foundations,
extensions, constructions and repairs
of the schools and religious and hos
pital establishments which France may
desire to carry out if the Porte is ad-
vised of her intentions and makes no
objections within five months.
France has thus far received full sat
isfaCtion, and NJ. Delcasse, on the re-
ceipt of NJ. Bapst's dispatch this morn
ing, telegraphed him to inform Tewfk
Pasha that diplomatic relations had
been resumed and that NJ. Bapst should
consider himself as regularly charged
with the affairs of the Embassy. In
structions were also sent to Admiral
Caillard at Mitylene to re-embark the
marines and to return to Greek waters,
which is understood to mean the vicin-
age Of the island of syria. Admiral
Caillard VIII remain in the Levant some
time longer. NJ. Constans. the French
ambassador, will return to CONSTANT
nople very shortly.
The additional clause was conceded
at the request of France in order to
prevent future difficulties, such as the
Turkish provincial authorities have
often raised either on their own initia-
tive or in consequence OF instigation by
the Porte

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12-After today
cabinet meeting it was announced that
the president in his message to congress
recommends the re-enactment of the
Chinese exclusion act. This act expires
on May next. and unless il Is re-enact-

T. v. Powderly, Commissioner of Immi-

of congress neglecting to re-enact the
law, steamship companies plying between
China and San Francisco were making

WILL CUT wAR TAX.
Prospect is That There Will Be No
Tariff Changes.

| WASHINGTON, Nov S.-The repeal OF
all war taxes contained in the internal
revenue act and no revision of the Gus
| toms tariff is the avowed policy of the
republican leaders in congress. Confer
ences held during the last few days at
the White House. participated in by
President Roosevelt and Chairman Payne
and the various members of the Ways
and Means Committee of the House.
have resulted in a general agreement
along these lines.
Instead of reducing the surplus by cut
ting down the taxation at the custom
house, the tariff wall is to be protected
by the clever device of shifting the issue
to the internal taxing schedule. Cheaper
beer and cheaper tobacco for the poor
man is to be the slogan of the republi-
can leaders. Beer will be cut to 81 and
possibly to IS cents a barrel and tobac-
co will be cut at least to it's old rates
There is also talk of reducing the tax
on whisky, not for the purpose of cut
ting down the revenue from that source
but to remove the inducement to moon
shining. 1t is believed the reduction of
the tax on whisky would lead to slight
increase in revenue from that article.
After their conference with the presi-
dent Chairman Payne and Representa-
ives tNuSSe!l ana steele oil the ways and
Means Committee called on Gage, who
furnished them with estimates concern
ing the surplus. According to the Sec
retary's figures, the surplus is now pill
ing up at Il rate which, if continued to
the end of the present fiscal year. June
80. 1902, will produce no less than S132.-
100000 If all the war taxes be taken
off there viii sti1 be left, according to
Secretary Cages estimates, a surplus of
S69VJ0O0o at the end of this fiscal year
Chairman Payne will draft a bin to be
presented to the Ways and Means Com
mittee at the opening Of the session early
in December

but occasionally conclusion was
drawn, and frequently there was criti-
cism of the course pursued by Admiral
0hen COMMODORE Schley. Speaking of
Commodore Schley's conduct, Captain
Lemly said:
From my knowledge Of the man. hav-
ing served under his command on two

WEST JERSEY
TRAINS DELAYED.
About Noon Before Passenger
ger Trains Could Get by
Elmer.

The great rain storms Sunday night
caused serious washout along the
West Jersey and Seashore railroad
just above Elmer.
The trouble occurred along through
long swamp which made it impossi-
bic for trains to transfer passengers
across, and the service was completely
tied up. The morning trains from
this city could not get further than
Elmer, and the first down train did
not arrive here until about noon.
There were many people on the first
train for this city and they all had to
camp in the hot cars while the section
gang worked like beavers to get the
damage repaired. The mails and
newspapers were likewise held up.

Sunday and Sunday night, the off

the floods poured down here more tire
mendously than Sunday night. 1t was
a showery sort of day, and at night
the wealth of nature seemed turned
over the city. The thunder and light
ming was something awful and the
rain was deluge.
Happily the electrical disturbance
did not prove serious here. The
trouble came with the water. Farm
ers coming in town Monday said
that crops were somewhat damaged,
tomato vines especially being broken
off and beaten to the ground. Corn
was beaten down somewhat, but hap
PLY not greatly damaged. Many
streets about town were quilted out
and cutters are choked with sand.
