Engagements.
FRANCE ON HER DIGNITY,
A German View Of the situation
How Washington Regards
The AFFAIR.

New York, Nov. 1.-The Paris cor
respondent Of the London Times ana
the New York Times declares that the
patience OF France with Turkey has
finally been exhausted He says II Is
| the general belief that Turkey VIII now
abandon her procrastinating tactics and
fulfill her engagements. Her only DIFF
ficulty win be in finding the necessary
money.
The correspondent adds that things
cannot go on as they have done The
government Is face to face with de-
bate on the foreign estimates In the
chamber OF deputies, and II Is imper-
alive that the situation both emDar-
RAISING and ridiculous shall be ended.

the three matters at stake. The ques-
ton of the Constantinople quays con-
cerned a private enterprise involving
divergent interpretations Of conces-
sion. The Lorando and Tubini debts
were even less of the sort for which
power mobilizes feet. The porte, how
ever, has acted toward France in
way calculated to wound and offend,
and q demonstration is needed, or the
dignity Of France will be compromised.

New York, Nov. 1--Accordng to the
Herald's Berlin correspondent the Lo-
kal Anzelger, In discussing the pro-
posed movement Of q French fleet to
the Levant expresses the opinion that
the establishment of French naval
station at Mityene would be a standing
menace TO England's position on the
Suez canal.

The newspapers approve the govern
ment's decision. The Journal des De-
bats says
Every one at Constantinople and the
other capitals must be aware that
France and Russia are completely in
accord In this matter. Under these
circumstances II Is difficult TO believe
that the Ottoman government VIII not
come TO its senses. and. recognizing It's
error before II Is too late. relieve us
of the necessity Of using other means
than those Of diplomacy and courteous
discussion"
La Liberte remarks that the fact that
Admiral Gailllard has embarked 1000
marines, Is warning to the porte that
France VIII not stop before a slight
show of resistance, but will go TO the
end, even though war should ensue.

Washington. Oct. S1-M. Margerie,
the charge d'affsires Of the French
embassy here, had short interview

secretary left at once for the White
House. Nj. Margerie may be considered
an expert In matters pertaining to the

Constantinople recently as an attache

TO make the porte meet his obligations. |

paid, yet the incident did not cause
