Patience Exhausted Over Turkeys
PrOcrastinating Tactics.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The Paris cor.
respondent of the London Times and
the New York Times declares that the
patience of France with Turkey has fl.
nally been exhausted. He says it is the
general belief that Turkey will now
abandon her procrastinating tactics and
fulfill her engagements Her only diff.
Guilty will be in finding the 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 it is impera.
tive that a situation, both embarrassing
and ridiculous, shall be ended.
When the trouble with Turkey be-
gan, the dispatch goes on to say, it
seemed difficult for France to under
take a coerclve naval demonstration in
regard to the three matters at stake.
The question of the Constantinople
quays concern is a private enterprise
involving divergent interpretations. The
Tubini and LorandO debts are even less
of the sort for which a power mobilizes
a fleet. The porte, however. acted to-
ward France III a way calculated to
wound and offend and a demonstration
is needed, or the dignity of France will
be COMPROMISED

FLORENCE, Ala, Nov. 1.-The Knick.
erbocker Trust company of New York
city has filed for record a mortgage for
81, 800, 900 to secure bonds for the build.
ing of the Alabama and Tennessee River
railway on the line projected from Flor
ence to Clifton, Tenn, q distance of 80
miles. The mortgage is a voluminous
document, containing $4,000 words. J..
L. Bell Of New York city is president
and George A. Sykes is treasurer.
The road was projected by George L.
johnson of Waynesboro, Tenn, and J.
L. Bell, who have been working on the
project for several years. The railroad
will run through one of the richest
brown ore fields in the country and will
tap a rich farming and timber section
heretofore inaccessible on account of a
lack of railroad facilities.
1t is thought the new road has some
important connection with other rail-
roads. as the Illinois Central and other
roads have been trying to get into this
section Of Alabama for years on account
of the iron industry.

THE BULLER AFFAIR.
He May Take Legal steps Against
National Review.


NEW YORK, Nov. According to
The Tribune General Buffers friends
are not cast down by the publication of
the alleged Colenso heliograph message.
They assert that the truth will now be
forced out and that the complete text
will show that the passage quoted has
more or less been garbled. General
Buffers friends assert that he learned
in advance that The National Review
would have the articles that have caused
SO much commotion and decided to fore.
stall them.
The editor of this magazine is a son
of the late Admiral Maxso and his sister
'is the wife of Lord Edward Cecil, the
prime minister's son, who was with
Baden-Powell at Mafeking. There is a
general appeal to the war office to make
an official statement in regard to the
photographic messages from General
Butler to Sir George White. General
Butler, it is stated, has been advised by
his friends to take legal steps against
The National Review.
