of the Sultans trade dealing with that
matter.
The note will also request satisfac-
tion regarding the rights Of France
which are defined in the various capit-
ulations and treaties and which in
some eases have not been respected
and in others have been encroached
upon by Turkey.
The declaration of what has been
done bears out the statement previous.
ly cnbled regarding the intentions of
the French government.
Admiral Caillard Is expected to reach
his destination today. The foreign Of
flee has received no news from him
since his division left the other d.
visions of the Mediterranean squadron
ell route for Turkish waters days ago.
1t is pointed 0ut that the absence
of news is not surprising. as the III.
structiols to Admiral Caillard We're to-
steer due south and to avoid passing in
sight of Bonifacio. Corsica, or travers-
ing the strait of Messinu in order to
prevent his movements being signaled.
The vessels of the division carried only
a normal supply Of coal. but this would
bc much more than sufficient to ell
able them to steam ! 800 miles, the cs-
timated distance they must cover be.
fore reaching their destination.
1t 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 Nantour, which
is stationed at Constantinople 1t is also
probable that the armored cruiser Ad-
miral charner which arrived at Port
Said Oct. 81 from the far east. Is being
held there in order to join Admiral Call
lard if needed. 1t is further reported
that three other warships are held ip
readiness at Toulon to re-enforce hin
should their presence be necessary.
Dispatches from Rome assert that tlNh
second division of the Italian Meditef.
rancan squadron. which, as already an
nounced left for Turkish waters with
the supposed object of cOrnterbalant-
ing the French naval demonstration,
will join the first division. which has
been cruising in the eastern Meditef-
ranean for some time.
1t appears also that the Greek waf-
ships Psara. Hydra. Spctsni and Euro
tas are now at Smyrna, where is also

NEW JERSEY POLITICS.
Doth Parties Claim Victory ON Eve
Of Battle.

of Battle.
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.--The guberna-
torial campaign In New Jersey was
brought to close with the leaders Of
both parties claiming a victory for
their respective candidates. 1t has
been one OF the most stubborn battles
ever fought in the state, the Republic
ans leaving no stone unturned to hold
the state machinery which they have
controlled for nearly Il decade, while
the Democrats struggled to take 1t
from them.
The Republicans base their hopes
on two things first, the large majority
which must be wiped out by the oppo-
sition and, second. on the fact that they
think the voters of the state, pleased
at the prosperous condition of affairs
in the nation. will return Republican
governor as an evidence of their In
dOrsement of the national aduinistra-
to'r and as all assurance to the present
head of the administration that they
have confidence in him. 1t was prin
cilmlly on the latter issue that the par
ty made it's fight.
The Democrats claim victory chiefly
On the personal popularity of their can
didate for governor, James NJ. Sey.
nour He is very popular with the
working classes. and his strength is ac-
knowlcdged by his opponents He has
thrice been elected mayor of Newark
by large majorities.
Both state committees have compiled
tables made up from reports from va
riouS counties of the state. The Re
publicanS by their figures show that
Franklin Murphy. their candidate for
governor. who is also chairman Of the
committee. will be elected by about
10000 majority.
The table compiled by William u.
Gourley. chairman Of the Democratic
state committee. shows that Mayor
Seymour will have about 5000 major.

FURTHER 1ES1FOR PNEUMATIC TUBES
Mir. shallenburger Urges Fast serv-
Ice Between the Pacific Coast
and the Orient-Annual Ex-
penSes Increased.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The annual
report of Second Assistant Postmaster
General William s. Shallenburger,
just made public, urges regular direct
coast and the orient, the re-establish-
mrnt Of the pneumatic tube service
generally and the closer separation of
city mail by postal clerks on railway
trains rather than by clerks of the
mailing division after its arrival in the
general office. Under the last named
proposition the entire force engaged in
distributing the mail ready for the
carriers would be under one manage
ment, and congestion in a postofiice
could be overcome by the temporary
detail of railway mail clerks off duty.
The city distribution postal cars have
been assumed entirely by the railway
mail service. supplanting the former
practice Of having clerks from the city
postottices go out some distance on the
road to meet incoming trains.
Constant demands are now being
made for still closer separation by
having the railway mail clerk or SUI
perntendcnt In charge take the out
going mail from the public and see that
it is expeditiously dispatched and also
deliver the incoming mail. properly
made up for the carriers. Mr.. Shallen-
burger suggests for the present test

ccipts are $500OHO or more II year.
The postotfice department has no
contract for direct mail service be-
tween the Pacific coast and the Philip
pines, mails being carried by govern
ment transports or by steamers to
Hongkon., and thence by steamers of
other countries to Manila.
"rhe mail service and commercial
interests" says the report. would he
greatly advanced by fast mail steam
ers adhcring strictly to schedule time
between the Pacific coast and Manila
and calling at other ports at regular
intervals under contract with this gov
ernment"
The request for an appropriation of
S5O0,OOO for pneumatic service Is re-
newed as II basis for beginning the
service. which. when fully established,
it Is stated. will involve an annual eX,
pendture approximately SsO0,0o0. The
department expresses its opinion and
that of the commission Of experts that
investigated the subject that the out
right purchase of the system should
not be considered by congress pending
n more complete test.
The report shows that on June 30
last there were 267,357 miles of star
route service, 1S:',3:JS of railroad routes,
Alto of railway postotlicc car routes
and almost 5000 miles of electric and
cable ear routes. The annual rate of
expenditure for all classes of domestic
mail transportation mail service has in
creased 6,94O,2S1 since last year.
