The chief topic around the War; and Navy Departments and in all of- ficial Washington, is the war between Italv'and Turkey. It is noticeable that sympathy is generally on the side of Italy and Is as pronounced as it was on-the side or Japan in tne Russian-Japanese War. The Italian fleet has sunk several Turkish war ships, and has bombarded and taken possession of Tripoli, the Turks hav ing refused to evacuate. A prominent officer of the United States Army, at the War Depart ment, on this morning, said that capturing of Tripoli by Italy did the not mean that Italy will be able to Ion trol without much trouble and ex- pense, and probably more fighting, anything more than the city oiiTri poli. He observed that the couitry of Tripoli was as large as France, and that the back-country in the ills and as far back as the Desert oySa- hara; was inhabited by Arab tnpes- j men. He said that these Arabs fere the people in whose country tbeio - hammedan religion was born, Jr that they revered the Korean as nfich as Christians do the Bible and jthe New Testament. N . He pointed out that these A abs have always been a cultured P Eie They have been distinguished for their learning, not only in literal ire, but in mathematics, astronomy an most of the other sciences that ' ere known to the ancients, and 1 to the civilized people of modern tis aes, save and except "the recent ern inventions. He said that these peo ple were not only intelligent, hat they were brave, that-they wen all mounted on the fine Arab steeds, and that for years Turkey had bees fur nishing them with the newest and best quality of Mouser rifles and am munition. He further said tW on acocunt of the Turks having the i ame religion as these Arabs that ney would consider the invasion of aly as a fight on their religion, l the world knew that a fight .wiU tne Mohammedans when ther eIt fna: A0 " IT ATI their religion was being a. would cause them to defend T6"?" selves with a heroism that was faff -cal.

I Madero, who headed and financed, the revolution in Mexico that result ed in the downfall of the strong and ! wonderful regime built up by that re markable man Diaz, has just been elected President of the Mexican Re public, The election, necessarily, was very much like the former elections of Diaz for the seven times he was elected President; that is, less than one-twentieth of the people voted. There was this difference', however; it was known on this occasion that no man would be arrested or told to get out of the country who dared to vote fc uti fhA bh the casJO02.000. - . it. however, that the average citizen! who was not asked to vote wa3 afraid j to vote. . y j - . l Ilk v. 1 Madero was so im re eu u u,- j meagreness of tne vote, though it was j practically unanimous for him. thati j he gave, out an announcement imme-1 aiaieiy upon me reciiu6 t turns tnat nere-uier vue i " .i: Mexico should be invitea to taae pari. intheir elections and be permitted to vote as untrammeled as they are in the United States, and further that he favored a secret, or Australian ballot.

AFTEft THE EXPRESS CD'S National Association of Rail- j Commissioners Make i , 1 Recommendations They Claim Railroads Should Oper ate Express Business of U,e Coun" try Could Be Handled at Cheaper Cost to the Public. . Washington.-Oct. 10. That the railways of the country take over the express companies business was vir- turally recommendedto-day to the twenty-third annual convention of the National Association ofRallroad Commissioners in session here, by the committee on express rates and ex Dress service. There was prolonged discussion of the committe's reports 1 2 U.f.ml which was the oniy uu&iuesa the convention to-day.

K t panies," said the report, are en gaged in performing a transporta tion service-that one company could perform just as efficiently, if not more so. The fact is that the rail ways could probably assume the han dling of both heavier commodities andthe lighter packages at a lower cost and with greater satisfaction than the express companies to the public Their present organization la nearly complete enough for this. Objection to the adoption of the report was made because of the opin ion expressed therein that the, so- called postal or ounce rates of ex press companies are discriminatory and should be eliminated or raised Other traffic, it was claimed had to bear the loss of the ounce-rate mat ter.

Caucaslan.8 Great Popularity Voiln Contes is now a matter of hU j Tne prizes have been sent to the candidates. Some eight weeks ago The Cau casian announced its contest. The return mail brought the first nomina tions, and in a few days following the initial announcement, popular young ladies from all over the coun try were nominated The enterprising saw the possibil ities that were opened by the plans adopted by The Caucasian for award ing them the prizes. Lose With Good Grace. The candidates will have been the gainers, although their names do not appear on the list of winners, for they have increased their acquaintances and have cemented their bonds of i friendship even closer than when ad-1 miring friends placed their names be-J foie the public as a candidate for a prize. Among the congratulations' re ceived by the fortunate are those of the candidates who were in the race against them In the same neighbor hood, personal friends, in many cases who have come to the close of the contest lacking a few thousand votes to win. It requires good spirit to put up a battle of this nature, and it takes a good strong will to be a cheerful loser, but we are sure that thia is the way that the contestants who did not win in The Caucasian contest will feel. ? Closing Honrs Were Exciting. With the closing of the contest for the beautiful prizes offered by The Caucasian, there was ended one of the largest and most successful events of the kind ever held in this section. During the entire eigne weeks the contest department was kept buried ia votes, and as the clos- ine days be can to draw near the friends of the young ladies who want ed the prizes grew more anxloua and showered rotes on the department, and Saturday- night the ballot box j was almost full, and It was no amaii job to count the heavy mass or nttie white papers and have them filed in time for the announcement. At 0 o'clock the last votes had to be polled, and the closing hours were very exciting, and to-day Is made known the happy winner of the. piano, the diamond rings, and the gold watches. The result of these prizes will make a number of young people hap py for a long time, and they will have cause to remember long the cZoxtz in their behalf.
