 This action on the part of the French government is the result of long stand ing disputes between France and Tur- key over several claims by the former against the latter.
 France had sent ultimatums to the porte which had no effect, and two months ago Ambassador Constans was ordered by the French government to leave Constantinople. His departure failed to bring the sultan to terms.
 NJ. Delcasse determined upon drastic action. and last Wednesday fleet con- sisting of two battleships, three cruis- CTS and two torpedo boats under the command of Admiral Caillard left Tou lon for Turkish waters.
 The principal claim France has to col lect is the S9,0O0.OO0 bill of the French company that built quays in Constanti nople under concession which permit ted it to collect wharfage. but which the Turkish government, thinking lt was getting too little out of 1t. with drew

EnRInnd.. Early Coinn.

When England was being made Into mincemeat and blocks of real estate by the Saxons and Danes, silver and brass were In use as currency, but the Normans subsequently installed the aristocratic metal and left the demo- cratic brass to take care of itself.

Tin was used for coinage in 1880, and the national farthing was made of this Cambrian product, with a stud of copper set in the center. ln 1890 and 1891 tin halfpence were is- sued in considerable quantities.

 Philadelphia, Nov. 6.-With nearly the whole state estimated at midnight. 1t was seen that the Republicans had carried the state and city for their tick ct by reduced plurality over two years ago.
 William T.. Potter, Republican candi. date for the supreme bench, ran behind his ticket, but Frank G. Harris, for state treasurer, ran as we'll as was ex. pected. In this city the strong fight was made on district attorney, and on this Weaver (Repl has undoubtedly de feated Rothermel 0usion). This gives the rest of the ticket to the Republicans barring surprises.
 Returns from the state indicate the election of Frank G. Harris (Rep) for state treasurer and William Potter Rep.l for supreme court justice by plu- ralities considerably below those of 1889, when Barnett CRepl had 110,5SS plurality.
