OUTCOME FEARED
Turkey Still Restless While ihe Young Turks Celebrate With
 ihe Widest of Scenes
CHRISTIANS IN DREAD

Constantinople, July 3Q-Althougn the demonstrations in the streets of Constantinople over the granting Of constitution have practically ceased, nevertheless there are signs of much dissatisfaction among the public at the delay in the reconstruction of the ministry by the introduction of lib- eral elements. Scenes of the widest description continue in the cafes, where officers and civilians embrace each other and express their delight at the ending of the tyrannical re- gime. The situation still lacks clear ness, and it is impossible to forecast the next development. The young Turks are. masters of Constantinople and the European provinces, and ex- eept in the capital the feeling is any, thing but favorable to the sultan. Even in Constantinople disloyal cries were heard during the recent street demonstrations. At banquet given in Seres to celebrate the re-establish- ment of the constitution the name of the sultan was booted, while the Christians at this place are beginning to distrust the young Turks
 Hardly any news has been received from the Asiatic provinces, and this is regarded as disquieting. The Vali and the military commandant at Smyrna have been dismissed by the young Turks owing to their hostile attitude towards the constitution.
 A young Turkey uprising in favor of the restoration of the constitution had been planned for September 1, the anniversary of the sultans accession to the throne, but the meeting at Reval between King Edward and the emperor of Russia and the imminence of the Anglo Russian reform propos- als precipitated matters.

As a matter of fact the object of tbis demonstration was hostility towards Zekki pasha, grand master of the artillery, whose withdrawal was 6e- ffianded Two huncfef Hrufy e0fIfcssfs have arrived at Adrionople from Sa- loniki to replace the doubtful officers -e kx
 Selm Meihamed 1asha, minister O. mines and forests. was assisted in getting out of the country by the Italian embassy and this fact has produced bad impression among the liberal Turks. Italians explain that the embassy was net aware that Selim Pasha meditated flight. He re- quested the use of the embassy launch to embark his son Mihad. who was going to Rome to take up tlIe post of first secretary in the Ottoman embassy, and made nse of the boat to get away himse'f. The whole Melhamed family is exceedingly un- popular and the constitutional party is anxious to call them to account for the way they have enriched them selves. Some Of the foreign ambas- sadors are blamed for the protection and friendship extended 10 the Mall hameds without which, 1t is argued, they never could have attained the position and influence they did. Two of Selim Pasba's daughters married German officers. while 6 third is the wife of an Italian officer. No further news has been received Of the fate of Nablb Melhamed, who while trying to escape from the country was cap tured,
