Special to the Scranton Tribune. Philadelphia, Nov. 7. The unofficial returns upon results of Tuesday's elections-make the election of Judge P. P. Smith to the Superior court bench, a certainty. In nearly every district Judge Smith has made unexpected gains and has developed strength in the coal regions that has surprised his most sanguine friends. The ardent supporters of Judge Yerkes who were confident of his election last evening now concede the election of Judge Smith by a plurality of at least 6,000. The election bf Judge Smith gives the anthracite coal regions three out of the seven Superior court Judges.' Two members of the Superior court bench, Judges Wlllnrd and Smith, will come from the city of Scranton, while the third. Judge Rice, Is a native of Wllkes-Barre, which city is less than twenty miles distant from Scranton. By United Press. ' Philadelphia, Nov. 7. Complete re turns have been received from every county In the state on the vote for Su perior court Judges, excepting Luzerne county. Luzerne, however, had com pleted the count for Smith and Yerkes, and the complete returns on the state for these two cnndlates are given be low. Smith Is thus elected as the min ority representative on the Superior court bench by 6,018. The totals for the twelve candidates (with Luzerne missing except in the vote for Smith and Yerkes) are as fol lows: Republicans: Wlllnrd, 442,2011; Rice. 441,338; Heaver, 440,877; Wlckham, 440. 736; Reeder, 439.051; Orlady, 433,281.

Information received by Judge Smith yesterday from various parts of the state led him to believe that he was elected beyond the shadow of a doubt. During the afternoon his ofTlce In the Commonwealth building wns visited by scores of Democrats and Republicans to tender their congratulations. Amnntr those who spent some time in JudR-e Smith's office and assisted In the work of receiving returns from the state was ex-Sheriff John J. Fahey. There' was much enthusiasm dis played by Democrats generally over the election of a representative of their party In Lackawanna to the office of minority Judge of the new Superior court and as soon as It became reason ably certain that the Judge was elect'"! they began to formulate plans to prop erly celebrate the notable evnt. It is probable that he will be sere naded at his home In the near future ttnd that Inter he will be tendered a Winner, which will be attended by many of the prominent citizens of this vicin ity. There was one man !n the city yester day that was particularly gratined over the election of Judge Smith and that was John E. Roche, select coun cilman of the Seventh ward. It was Mr. Roche who Introduced the resolu tion at the meeting of the Democratic county committee last March Instruct ing the delegates from this county to use every honorable effort to secure the nomination of Judge Smith for Judge of the Superior court. At the Wllllamsport convention Mr. Roche was one of the most earnest of Judge Smith's supporters and It was) due In a measure to his work that the Judge's name found a place on the Democratic ticket. The latter said last evening that the Information in his possesion led him to believe that he would be elected by about 5,000 votes. SETTLED A QUARREL.

TURKEY'S JW MINISTRY Hali Rifat 1'asha Succeeds Kiamil l'ushi os Grand Vizier. THE SITUATION IS ALAKMIXG .Mobilization of Reserves -Tho Array's Loyalty Doiibtcd-Tnlcs of Tcrrlblo Atrocities in Syria-The Threatened Intervention of the Powers. Constantinople, Nov. 7. Following the dismissal of Kiamil Pasha yester day as Grand Vizier, a new Turkish ministry has been formed, with Hall Rlfat Pasha as Grand Vizier. The other Ministers are: Slatl Pasha, President of tho Council of State; Tew fik Pasha, Minister for Foreign Af fairs; Hassan Pnsha. Minister of Ma rine; Rlza Pasha. Minister of War; Mcmduh Pasha, Minister of the Inter ior; Abdur Hchman Pasha, Minister of Justice; Sabrl Pasha, Minister of Fi nance; Arfl Pasha, Minister without portfolio. Rlza Pasha was Minister of War In the lasit cabinet, Hassan Pasha was Minister of Marine in th lute ministry. Hall Rlfat Pasha Is ex-Mlnlster of the Interior, and Tewfik Pasha has Just come here from Berlin, where he was Turkish Ambassador to Germany. Snld Pusha was Minister for Foreign Af fairs In the late cabinet, and previously Grand Vizier. Advices received here from Aleppo to-day say that the Kurds belonging to a Hamldieh cavnlry regiment have at tacked and plundered a caravan near that place. It is also stated that the Kurds In the province have Joined In an anti-Christian movement, and that American missionaries have been ad vised not to expose themselves to dan ger while the present excltemeVt lasts. At the instance of Mr. Herbert, the British Charge-d Affaires, all tho con suls In the disturbed districts will be provided with guards. Said Pnshn's Promise. The Turkish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Said Pnsha, has promised to give the Ambassadors of the powers a definite reply within two days ns to what steps the Porte Intends to take to restore order In Armenia and pro vide for the protection of Christians in that part of the Turkish empire. This was the point especially alluded to by the Ambassadors on Tuesday, when they called separately and repre sented that the present state of affairs In Armenia could not be allowed to con tinue, and that If adequate measures were not soon tnken to bring about the restoration of order, the powers would be compelled, acting In concert, to take their own steps In the mntter. No combined action of such grave import ance upon the part of the powers has been taken for years, and the Porte was reminded of the intervention of the powers In Syria at the time of the massacre of 1860. As each day passes, however, the situation becomes more alarming and ndds to the difficulty of the task before the Porte, and, possibly, before the Kuropean powers. The most alarming reports are In circulation as to the number of Armenians who fell during the recent massacres, some of the statements having it that tens of thousands have been massacred. Al though this estimate is believed to be exaggerated, there Is no doubt that the situation Is much more grave than any body here is willing to admit. From Syria, especially, the most disquieting rumors are coming, and that they are based on facts Is shown by the mo bilization of twenty battalions of Rodifs, or reserves, out of the sixty available, and the steps taken to dis patch them as promptly as possible to that part of Asiatic Turkey. He volt Threatened. This leads color to the report that the Armenians are receiving support from unexpected sources, and 'that the Turk ish government .may soon be face to face with nn open and widespread re volt against the rule of the sultan.. It is even stated thait 'the Armenians have been successful In a light with the Turks, and that hundreds of Turkish Irregular troops have been captured. Revolutionary placards ore being scattered here almost dally in the streets, and the sultan has 'been threat ened with the choice between abdica tion and assassination. The mere calling out of the army re serves will have little or no effect upon the situation, as the troops cannot be relied upon in such an emergency, and 'the wrstched condition of Turkish fin ances bars anything like wholesale and energetic action upon the part of the Turkish government, unless a holy war Is proclaimed, and that could only be done by inflaming the religious fanatic lpm of the Turks against the Chris tians. This ,ilt Is ibelleved, ilhe Porte would not hesitate to do In the case of an Invasion of the Turkish dominions, but such a step would not be calculated to suppress Interior disorders. Arresta of Armenian, and Turkish suspects are' constantly being made here and elsewhere, but the newspapers are eo thoroughly under the control of the government that few Important facts In this connection are allowed to leak out. Army Not Trustworthy. Possibly the gravest turn In recent events lies In the established fact that tho dissatisfaction agninst the rule of the Sultan has extended to tho Turkish army and navy. The palace officials are well aware of this, and are greatly alarmed. Nobody here would be as tonished to hear at any moment of an outbreak In the palace Itself; In fact, persons who are well versed In Turkish affairs assert that this la among the Immediate probabilities, and only a prompt show of force here upon the part of the European fleets can avert it. The police of this city are kept busy night and day making arrests and watching everybody and everything. To such an extent Is the system of sur veillance carried that two servants In the employ of Kngllsh merchants here have been arrested while returning from the postofflce with letters and newspapers. The letters and newspa pers were seized by the police, notwith standing the protests of the servants, and carried away for examination. The merchants promptly complained to the British Charge d' Affairs, and he hns made strong representations to the Porte on the subject. Trustworthy reportt which have been received here from Erzerum state that It has bceen established beyond dispute ihat the Turkish troops took part In the recent massacre and pillage of Arme nians there, and clear evidence of this fact Will be placed before the repre sentatives of the powers.

Thomas F. Bayard. Undted States ambassador to Great Britain, delivered the Inaugural address at the meeting of the Kdin burgh Philosophical society this after noon. His subject wa "Individual Freedom, the Germ of Naltlonal Pros perity and Permanence." The address was of a. ipurc'y ac.i-den-.'C character. It vindicated per sonal liberty and free government ns essential to the happiness, progress and permanence of national prosperity. In the comae of the address Mr. Bayard said the movement of the day, some times open and somotimes concealed in robc.j of philanthrophy, Is towards state socialism as opposed to autocracy, but either !s despotism nd fa'tal to that Individual freedom by which the world, under the laws of (ts origin and progress was raised from brutality and barbarism. Autocracy. plutocracy, oligarchy, socialism and mob rule Is each equally 'fatal ito v,n ordered government, which depends upon the s?ruplous guarding of personal liberty and personal thought and judgment. Recurring to state socialism Mr. Bay ard said: "In my own country I have witnessed the insatiable growth of a form of socialism styled protection which has done more to corrupt public life, to banish men of Independent mind from public councils and to lower the tone of national representation than any other single cause. Protec tion now controlling the sovereign power of taxation, has been perverted from Its proper function of creating revenue to support the government in to an engine for self profit, allltd with combinations called trusts. It thus sapped the popular conscience by wiv ing corrupting Inrgesse to special classes and throws legislation Into the political market, where jobbers and chaff erers take the place of states men." In concluding his speech Mr. Bayard made a medley of allusions to Adam Smith, David Hume, Burns, Scott, and other men and things Scotch. RESPONSIBLE FOR WIVES.

CLEVELAND AS A CENSOR He Orders the Suppression of Lieu tenant Young's book on Hawaii. AUTHOR SAW THE REVOLUTION The Work a Valuable One from a Historic Standpoint, Yet the President Exer cises Ills Authority and For bids Its Publication. Washlng'ton, Nov. 7. An Instance of what many persons will consider an nl'togvither unwarranted and tyrannical Interference with the liberty of the press by the present administration has Just come to light. One of the most distinguished of the junior otlicers of the navy has been forbidden 'to publish a book prepared by him on the subjects of the Hawaiian Islands because the incidents and history contained in It nre too much iln line with those In Admiral Walker's report, and too little with .those evolved by Commissioner Blount. Lieutenant Lurien Young, who has repeatedly been .mentioned In orders for gallantry, and 1ms received the thanks of congress, and been promoted for heroism, was on 'the Boston at Hon olulu at the outbreak of the revolution of 1X93. h was In command of the marines who were landed ito guard the United States legation, and took part In all the sMrrlng events at -the Islands until his ship was ordered away. At tho Fourth of July celebration, held shortly aflter the resolution, he made a public speech that caused no end of trouiblo when It came to 'the ears of the navy department.In It he welcomed the Hawallar.s into the fold, and was very eloquent In depleting the glories of the United Staites, and full of de lisht over our acquisition of the Islands In the center of the Padlllc. His cruise ended in October, 1S93, and he was ordered to theibureau of records In the navy department in 'this city. He t once set to work on a history of the Hawaiian Islands, and particularly of the events In which he took part. The manuscript, containing about 60,. 000 words, was finished some time ngo and in acs.irdance with the naval reg ulations, which forbids an officer to print 'anything without submitting It to the secretary of the navy, It was sent to Secretary 'Herbert. The latter. It Is snild, submitted It to President Cleveland, and a.ifew days latsr it was returned to Lieutenant Young with an absolute refusal to permit its pub lication. No explanation was given further itban a general statement that It was not considered advisable for the artiXde to be printed. At Variance w ith mount's Report. Lieutenant Young, of course, cannot and will not talk of the matter, but friends of his who saw the 'book while It was being written, and lu-fore there was any question of its suppression sny that the author has carefully avoided all criticism of 'the acts of the adminis tration, dlis well-known opinions, however, make It certain that the whole tenor of the book is in a direction highly distasteful to the president, and at utter variance with Commissioner Blount's, report and the president's ut terances on the subject. iLiteutunant Young is not an un known man whose words can Ibe light ly set aside. He was born In Ken tucky, and was graduated from the Naval Academy in 1S7X , On his first cruise he junvped overrxard In mid ocean and waved the life of a drowning sailor. In 1877, when the Huron was wrecked off the coast of North Caro lina, he so conducted himself that h'ls native state presented him a sword and made him an honorary member of its legislature, while congress passed a special resolution conferring on him a gold medal, thanking him and promot ing him to tha next higher rank 'in the service. Since then his service has been long and distinguished.
