EXHAUSTIVE REVIEW OF
 THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS
Issued at Republican National Head
 quarters at Washington.

Washington, Jan. T-An exhaustive review Of the November elections, is- sued here today at republican national committee headquarters, over the sig nature of Secretary James B. Key holds. says In part:
 The result of the elections of No ven1ber last proves three very i'm portant political facts:
 First: The republicans carried upon national issues states that would give Q clear majority in the electoral college and elect a republican presi- dent.
 Second: The democratic majority in the next house is only the result Of the progressive voter in certain districts of the country and the dem ocrats will really be a minority party in the house of representatives.
 Third: TWo-thirds of the progres . siVe vote of 1912 has not only ceased to support third party candidates, but has returned to the support of repub- lican principles and candidates
 This Is the story that is told by the official figures of tine last election just compiled by the republican na- tional committee"
 This is followed by tables. statistics and an exhaustive analysis of the vote by states.

Ten Guinsas Aaafnst Turkey.

Charles James Fox appears to have considered the Turks chance of iosing their European territories in his life time worth a wager. The earliest of the betting books kept at Brooks Club contains an entry showing that in 177S Fox gave Mir. Shirley ten guipeas on the understanding that he was to receive five hundred whenever Turkey in Europe belonged to a Eu- ropean Power or Powers A later politician was also anxious to see Tur- key suffer this fate. Grant Duff rfecords a conversation with Golden, in the course Of which the latter said that the sultan ought to be driven out of Europe as far as Bagdad, at the least. ."-PaIi Mall Gazette.

ENGLAND'S PRELIMINARY
 REPLY TO AMERICAN NOTE
Will Be Forwarded to United States
 Government Shortly-Prehabiy To-
 day. s

London, Jan. :, 7.2o ?. m.--Ens- lands preliminary reply to the Amer ican note concerning the interruption of American shipping by British war ships was discussed by the cabinet today and will be forwarded shortly, probably tomorrow. to the United States government. This first reply will be supplemented later by a more detailed note, framed after further in- quiries have been made.
 No response from the United States is expected upon the receipt of the preliminary reply, which will be IT the nature of an acknowledg dgrnent Of the American note and a general state ment of the unusual conditions faced by the allies and the many new prob lem ssuddenly thrust upon England.
 The necessity of consulting her all lies, so vitally interested in the sub ject of contraband, makes 1t inpos- sib1e to give an immediate detailed response according to officials of tho foreign office.
 The te,-t of the reply win not be published in London until the Anaer- can government signifies it's willing ness after receiving the note.
 It is pointed out that the American note makes no specific statements con- cEY'ning particular cases on which it's objections are based and the British preliminary reply will be no more specific.
 The British public is lnnerting widely upon what was termed the ap- parent unwillingness of both govern ments to disclose facts which would enable the formation of a more definite idea of the nature of the controversy Surprise is expressed at the foreign office at runors of the detention of the steamer Denver at the Orkney Islands. SGecific instructions were given that the Denver. which bears cotton for Bremen. should not be de- tained longer than was necessary to identify her officially here.
 Complaint was made to the state de- partment at Washington yesterday that the Mallory line steamer Denver had been detained at the Orkney Is lands by British admiralty officials. The state department cables to Am bassador Page for a, report.

PASTORAL LETTER OF
 CARDINAL MERGER Fer Which He is Said to Have Been
 Arrested.

London Jan, z, 4S0 p. na--The much olscussed parag graphs Of the pastoral letter of Cardinal Mercier which The Netherlands newspaper Tijd said had peen responsible for his arrest by the Gorlnans' military authorities in Bel gum, an arrest which the German au- thorities have categorically denied, have been published in pamphlet form in London. They are as follows:
 T consider it an obligation of my pastoral charge to define your duties Of conscience toward the power which has invaded our soil and which at this moment occupies a. greater part of 1t. That power has no authority in law. Tn the sanctuary of your soul you owe 1t neither esteem nor attachment nor 0oedience. The sole legal power in Belgium is that which is derived from our king, our government and the rep resentatiYes Of the nation. This alone for us represents authority; this alone has right To the affections of our hearts and to our submission.
 "Ot themselves the acts of those in occupation are without force; but the legal authority ratifies tacitly those acts which are justified in the general interest, and from this ratification alone they derive all their judicial worth
 The occupied provinces of Belgiun1 are not conquered provinces. Belgium Is no more a German province than Galicia is q Russian province. Never theless, the occupied part of our coun- try Is confronted by situation to which it must submit. The greater number of our towns have been hand ed over to the enemy; they must re- spect the conditions Of their surrender.
 From the beginning of military op- erations the civil authorities have in ststently recommended that private persons abstain from acts of hostilftv aE2lnST 1nh nf-T0aH concentrations are still in force. Our army alone Is charged with the duty of our national defense. Let us know how to await at it's hands the final deliver ance-let US comfort ourselves as the general interest demands. Let us re- spect the regulations they (the Ger nlans) impose on us so long as they dc not attack our liberty of Christian conscience or the dignity of our patriotism

EARLY MORNING GALE.
Wind Does Miner Damage and Rain
 Falls in Torrents.

nauielsoa was swept by the worst rain storm of the winter season dur ing the early hours of Thursday morn ing Rain, driven by q. sale of near hurrican velocity, fell in torrents and the force of the blow was so severe als to awaken many persons from then sleep, The scum of ice that has coat ed the borough streets for several weeks was cut to pieces and washed away. Persons who kere in Main street about . a. m. say the thorough fare was flooded and that slabs of the loosened ice was being swept along in the current.
 Windows were smashed in by the force of the wind, blinds tore off and other slight damage done to houses. Ice on bodies of water where harvest ing has been going on was consider ably cut up by the storm, but a brief spell of cold weather will insure the safety of the chop, which it was hoped, would he harvested by the end of this week.

CONNECTS EAT SUPPER
 IN PRISON MESS HALL. Another Reform introduced in Auburn,
 N. r., Prison.

Auburn, N. Y. Jan. 7--In conform ance with orders issued by John E. Riley, state superintendent Of prisons, Warden Charles F. Rattigan today in- troduced another reform in Auburn prison by permitting convicts to eat their supper in the prison mess hall instead of eating it alone in their cells as in past years
 The supper now consists of soup bread and tea, and the men may talk to each other in an orderly manner Tn the past the prisoners took bread and tea to their cells and ate supper there.
 A report by a local committee of civilians which has been providing ed ucational lectures to prisoners for the past six weeks declared the plan to be a success. Most of the prominent speakers in Auburn and many from outside have contributed their services to this work. The talks arc given in the prison chapel on winter days when the weather prevents the inmates from taking their usual outdoor exercise.
