EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

THE FURTHER PROBLEM OF TURKEY.

Constantinople. Nov, &

At the conclusion of the meeting of Allied High Commissioners and Generals, Reuter learns that a reply was despatched to the Augers Government categorically refusing to acede to the demand for the evacuation of Constantinople.

The Angora Nute says that following the abolition of personal sovereignty in Turkey, the population of Constantinople have turned enthusiastically and spontaneously towards the Government and the National Assembly. The latter does not intend militarily to overstep the stipulations of the Mudania arrangement regarding the number of gendarmies that may be despatched for the purpose of the maintenance of order. It hopes the Allies will give the demand favourable consideration.

THE AMERICAN ELECTIONS.

New York, Nov. & The issues in most States in the forthcoming elections are outweigh the many and involved, consequently the local often national considerations; but in a number of States the candidates! are appealing on the Republican record, and the conseqgent results are expected to reveal the popular feelings on the new Tariff,! Foreign Debts, Ship Subsidy, Prohibition, Labeur, Taxation and other economic questions. Wall Street is particularly anxious at present for a clear answer one way or another in order that the Administration may be encouraged to pursue a more definite policy. for the next two years in its efforts at the readjustment of post- war conditions.

PROHIBITIONISTS EXCITED.

New York, Nov. 6. The prohibition authorities are circulating the

press with sensational accounts of the presence of a fleet of over a hundred vessels laden with whisky of New Jersey just outside the threa mile limit. The authorities express the opinion that the vessels are taking advantage of the recent ruling forbidding the officials" interference outside territorial waters. The feet is said to be under skilful direction and well-protected by an international organisation of bootleggers, who manage to land whisky supplies in small beats at unguarded points The authorities are mobilising hundreds of small craft in New York, Atlantic City and elsewhere, in the hope of interception of the smugglers before they reach tand.
