TURKEY MUST

DEMANDS ON L0RAND0 CLAIM

TO ENFORCE CLAIMS.
DEMANDS ON LORANDO CLAIM

Paris, Nov. 3.-This morning NJ. Del
casse, minister of foreign affairs, tele-
graphed to Nj. Bapst, councillor of the
French embassy in Constantinople, di-
recting him. so the correspondent of
the Associated Press is authoritatively
informed, to present today to IeWhk
Pasha. Ottoman minister OF foreign
affairs. a note asking how the turkish
government proposes to pay the Lo-
randO claim, and demanding the exc
cutiOn of the sUltan's Trade dealing
with that matter. The note will also
require satisfaction regarding the
rights of France, which are defined IN
the various capitulatiOns and treaties,
and which in some cases have not been
respected and IN others have been en-
croached upon BY Turkey.
This declaration II what has been
done bears out the statement cabled
Yesterday to the Associated Press
about the intentions Of the French
government. Admiral Caillard is ex-
pected to reach his destination tomor-
row. The foreign Office has received
no news from him since his division
left the other divisions OF the Med
iterranean squadron en- route for
Turkish waters four days ago.
1t is pointed out that the absence of
news is not surprising, as the instruc-
tons to Admiral Caillard were to steer
due south and to avoid passing IN
sight OF Bonifacio, Corsica, or travers-
ing the straits of Messina, in order to
prevent his movements being signalled.
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 1900 miles, the
estimated distance they must cover
before reaching their destination.
It is expected that Admiral Caillard
will be Joined en- route by the torpedo
cruiser Condor, which is stationed in
Cretan waters, and may be met by
the torpedo dispatch boat Vantour,
which is stationed at COnstantinOple.
II is also probable that the armed
cruiser Admiral Charner, which ar
rived at Port Said Oct. 81 from the far
east. is being held there in order TO
ioin Admiral Caillard if needed. 1t is
also said that three other warships
are held in readiness in Toulon to re-
inforce him should their presence be
necessary.
Dispatches from Rome assert that
the second division of the italian Med
iterranean squadron, which, as an
nounced yesterday, left for Turkish
waters with the supposed object OF
counterbalancing the French naval
/ demonstration, will join the first divi-
sion. which has been cruising in the
eastern Mediterranean for some time
It appears that the Greek warships
Psara, Hydra, Spetsai and EurOtaS
are now at Smyrna, where is also the
| Russian Mediterranean squadron.
It is believed that the British squad
ron, now at Piraeus, Greece, viii be
ordered to proceed to Beyrout, Syria

YUKON NEARLY CLOSED
Navigation For Present Season
Practically Over Because
of Ice.

Port Townsend, Wash, Nov. 9Th
steamer Dirigo, arriving from Skagway
this evening, brought 100 passengers
and 200 tons of canned salmon. Ad-
vices brought by the Dirigo are TO the
effect that navigation is practically a.
an end on the Yukon. On Oct. p, cake
ice was rushing out Of Pelly river into
the Yukon and slush ice was running at
Dawson and the river was daily expect
ed TO close. Great preparations are be-
ing made at Dawson and during the
winter there viii be strong competition
for over-ice travel. An opposition
stage line viii be put on. A large num-
Der of men are working on roads and

OUTLOOK IN OHIO.
Both Parties Hopeful, But Neither

Both Parties Hopeful, But Neither
Gives an Estimate.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 3.-Following
their closing rally here last night and
the receptions to Colonel James G. Kill
bourne, Democratic candidate for gov
ernOr, and the Democratic leaders to-
day, the Democrats are claiming that
they viii elect part of their ticket in
Hamilton county. 1t is hardly possible
that this VIII affect the LScaI legisla-
tive candidates, but it viii materially
affect the state ticket if the Democrats
should secure part Of the county Of
fees here. The Republicans lost both
Cuyahoga and Lucas counties two
years ago, when Governor Nash had a
plurality of $4,000. Although the re
suit at Cleveland and Toledo is likely
to be very close. yet the conditions
are not considered so demOraHzing as
they were two years ago. The Repub-
Iicans COnCede that the result is doubt
full in Franklin county, in which the
state capital is located The Demo-
Gratis are confidently claiming that
county, in which both Governor Nash
and Colonel KHbOurne reside. There is
some opposition 10 Governor Nash, on
account of his appointments, and 1t is
asserted that the popularity of Colonel
KiIbOurne, especially among the work
ingmen, viii add strength to the Dem
OcratiC ticket in that county. The Re
pubhcans can lose both CuyahOga and
Franklin counties and still have a ma
jority in the legislature for senator, il
they carry Hamilton and Lucas cOun-
ties, as seems most probable.
The election this year is for a full
state ticket and county tickets, as well
as members of the legislature.
During the last half of the century
the Democrats have elected only four
governors, and with a single exception
they were elected in years following
presidential elections
The Republicans have had uninter
rupted control of the state ever since
the first election Of Mckinley as gov
ernor in 1891, and in that time they
have controlled more Of the county and
city offices than at any previous Pc
riod. They deny that any sO-called
off year" conditions exist. and claim
to be in better condition for success
than for years.
The managers on both sides are more
reluctant about giving out estimates
than usual This is due TO tie uncer-
tainty as to the shortage in the vote
on both sides. and the Republicans
say that prevents their predicting as
closely as usual the extent Of their
plurality.
The question of local option has
been prominently agitated in this
campaign, but with the brewers and
/ liquor organizations on one side and
/ the Ohio Anti-SalOOn league on the
other side, this issue is considered a
stand-off between the two leading
parties. The only large city in which
! this issue has figured is Columbus. 1t
/ is directed solely at members of the
/ legislature, and some Of the leaguers
have been opposing Senator Foraker

would support him.

Pretoria, Nov. 3-Further details have
been received regarding the attack by

guard oct. So on the march. and cap
tured two guns, but was unable to

ally wounded early in the fight.
Major WOOls-SamDsOE took com
mand, collected the cOr"Oy and took
up a position for defense about 100
yards from the entertainments pre-
pared by the. Beers. The captured
guns We're so situated that neither side
could touch them.
The Beers made desperate efforts to
overwhelm the whole British force,
charging repeatedly right up TO the
British lines. and being driven back
each time with heavy loss. The defense
was stubbOrnly and successfully main
tanned through the whole Of the fol-
lowing day and the next night until
Colonel Barter, who had marched all
night from Bushman's kOpje, brought
relief on the morning Of Nov. 1. The
Beers then retired.
Their losses are estimated at be-
tween 800 and 400.
Colonel Benson did not long survive.
Not only cid General BOtha direct the
attack, as already cabled, but he per
sonaly shared in the fighting.

Unwilling Air Voyagers AIight in
Safety.
WERE ONCE BLOWN TO SEA
THEN FRIENDLY WIND TOOK
THEM ASHORE.

San Francisco, Nov. 3-The nine oc-
cupants Of the car of the balloon which
escaped from this city yesterday after
noon returned safely today. The balloon
was landed near Pescadero. fifty miles
from this city and but a short dis
lance from the ocean. The balloon was
in the air nearly two hours and at
one time was out at sea, but was
blown back over the land.
Those who made the involuntary trip
were:
Ed P. Dudley, the aeronaut.
A. L. Dodge.
Ed Foster, IL.
Walter Leon.
c. P. Vildecoq.
J. +. Leonard.
NJ. L. Howarth.
John a. N. Swift.
Mrs. J. p. Gunsaulus.
When the balloon broke its bonds it
sailed away in southerly direction.
South Of Redwood City it struck an
other air current which took it towards
the ocean over the summit Of the coast
range.
Caught by Farmer.
Nine miles from LaHonda and about
six miles from Pescadero lies Beatty
! Thompson's place. Thompson was UP
and out when the balloon came along
by Wurr's mill, the graphing hook
slipping through the trees, and rak-
/ ing along brushy patches of ground.
/ By this time much of the gas had been
/ let out of the balloon and the power
was weak. The rope that had snapped
and caused the captive to become a
runaway was sweeping along the
ground, and when it came within
/ Thompson's reach he grasped and bore
down with all his weight. This stopped
/ the fight. Soon the balloon was
/ brOugh. to the ground, and eight over
/ joyed passengers and the aeronaut
1 alighted and took supper with Thomp-
I son.

New York. Nov. 3.-The feature OF
the local campaign today was the &C
tive part taken in it by the pastors
of the churches. Thirty-one pastors,
clergymen and two leaders Of independ-

selves to speak on the issues Of the
election, and all these clergymen took
for their subjects the alleged malad-
ministration of the present city offices.
Rabbi Schutman, the one Jewish priest
whose sermon was reported, urged on
his hearers the support of the fusion
ticket because Of the revelations con-
corning vice in the tenement districts.
Ali Protestant pastors, except two,
talked Of the fusion ticket. asserting
that vice and unSanitary conditions eX-
listed here, and change was needed.
The exceptions were DR.. Davis O..
Wylie Of the Scotch Presbyterian
church and Rev. DIT. Vandewater of
St. Andrews Episcopal church, who ad-
vised their congregations TO examine
the two tickets closely and vote for
the best men on them Henry Frank
Of the Metropolitan Independent church
advised his hearers TO vote against
bosses whether they came from this
city or TiOga county"
Rev. Father !. Ducey Of st. LeO's
Roman Catholic church was alone re-
ported who spoke on the election for
the Shepard side.
One Of the features of the fusion
campaign has been the work Of the
women's campaign committee. A re-
port issued today says this committee
had distributed several hundred thou
sand copies in English and German Of
a pamphlet purporting to be an expose
of vice in the city. Democrats also
had a wOmens campaign committee
actively at work during the canvass,
but no report of its labOrs has yet ap-
peared.
