TRIUMPH OF
 THE FRENCH Victory Over the Sultan
 is Complete. ALL DEMANDS GRANTED An Trade Will Soon Be Issued
 by Abdul.
The Dispute Has Caused Nervousness in the Capitals of the Other Nations of Europe-French
 Cabinet Meets.

Paris, Nov. S.-France has scored . complete triumph in the Turkish dispute. The Foreign Office this morning received advices announcing that the Sultan has yielded to the entire demands formulated by the French Government and only the question of form regarding the execution of the engagement remains to be settled. This may be done within the next twenty four hours or. 1t is expected, at the latest in two or three days. Then Admiral Caillard will relinauish his occupation of the island of Mytilene.
 An official note was issued at p. m. today to the effect that the Porte had decided to yield to all the demands of France and that as soon as the Sultan has issued an trade ratifying the decision, the French squadron will leace Mytilene.
 President Loubet presided today at the cabinet council. Minister M. Deicasse announced that the Porte had just ad- vised him that 1t had decided to give sat- isfaction in the case of the various French demands. to which M. iDeicasse replied that so soon as the Sultan's order regarding the Porte's decision was com municated to him, Admiral Cafllard would leave the Island of Mytilene.

SUBJECT TO TARIFF.
Decision on Cotton Material of Vari'
 ous Fibres.

A
 New York. Nov. S.-The Classification Board of United States General Apprais- CTS has handed down a decision involving the question whether material composed of various flores. such as jute or flax and cotton, cotton in each case being the component of chief value, properly comes under the schedules of the tariff act Of 1897. which provide, respectively. spe- oific duty according to weight per square yard. each schedule embodying a gradua- ton of rates according to the number of threads to the square inch, known as the countable clauses for cotton cloth in the piece or otherwise. or what of It's mate rial Is classffiable under the provisions of the paragraphs for all manufactures of cotton not specially provided for at an ad vaiorem rate of 45 per cent
 The decision rendered by the board was on a case arising out of the protests of Wakem & Mclaughlin of Chicago. and Rice-Stix Drygoods Company of St. Louis. respectively. against the assess ment of duties at the rate of 45 per cent ad valorem on a certain importation of merchandise consisting of 4,S0o yards of crash, composed of cotton and Jute, cot ton betting the component material of chief value. The proportion of each was found to be 54.66 per cent of cotton to 5.34 per cent jute. The collector assess ed the merchandise as manufactures of cotton at 45 per cent ad valorem and the protestants claimed that the goods were not properly dutiable as cotton cloth in the piece or otherwise under the weight and countable threads provision. at 20 cents per square yard.
 The Classification Board overruled each protest and affirmed the collector in the assessment of duty at 45 per cent ad valorem as manufactures of cotton.

THE DEMOCRATS WIN OUT
They Will Have Control of the Legis- lature in Maryland-State
 Ticket Split

IIcket Spllt'
 Baltimore. Md. Nov. S.-Almost com plete official returns show that Joshua w Herring, Democrat. State Comptroller has been reelected by a plurality of 45s votes over Herman S. Piatt, Republican. Thomas Parran. Republican has been elected clerk of the Court of Appeals by a plurality of 1.25S over J. Frank Turner the Democratic incumbent.
 The official count in Caroline County elects Jefferson, Democrat. to the House by a majority of four. in place of Stevens. Republican, who was reported yesterday to have been elected by ma jority of one. This, however, is coun- terbalanced in Kent County by the cleo ton to the House of Kendall Republi- can by a majority of thirty-one over Johnston. Democrat. heretofore reported elected by a majority of five. The of- fcial count in these counties give the Democrats forty-eight members sure in the House and the Republicans twenty nine. This would enable the Democrats to organize the House, even if the official count in Baltimore city should show that the Republicans had elected a solid dele gation of eighteen members. which is improbable.
 The indications are that three Demo- cratic delegates have been elected from Baltimore City, but at the rate at which the official count in this city is progress ing, it probably will be two days at least before a decision is reached. The Senate. according to the official returns. will stand: Democrats, r; Republicans. ..
