only about sixty deputies were at the
ceremony. Yaver Pasha has been APP
pointed commander of the First army
corps in succession TO Mahmout Muhntdi
Pasha dismissed.
Desultery rifle shots were heard in va
rious parts of the city this afternoon. but
they mean nothing. TO fire off pistols
and rifles is the Turkish manner Of re
ioicing. The pOpulace is now accustomed
10 this kind Of shooting ard The panic IS
IA pidly disappearing. The soldiers no
where have molested civilians; on the
contrary. they assured the people there
was nothing to fear.
Some Anxiety Felt.
Much anxiety is felt concerning the
attitude of the Second and Third army
corps at Adrianople aud Saloniki-
Should they remain faithful TO the COM
mittee of union and progress the result
must be civil war.
There was q curious scene at St. So
pilias square on Tuesday. afternoon.
Along the sides were nlsssed infantry
men in deep blue uniforms, together
with many Saloniki chasseurs in khaki.
In the middle of the square groups Of
soldiers were seated on the ground,
Turkish fashion. in bis circles Nov
ing from group to group were white
tUrbined HOdgas talking earnestly.
Very few civilians were visible, and no
doubtful looking characters.
At intervals the soldiers lined up and
cheered the new arrivals. fresh bands
of mutineers. The conversation gener-
ally turned on the necessity OF reviving
the sacred laws. The men also were
loud in their Remuneration % the war
minister. and were in favor of a change
i'm the office of grand vizier.
Massed Before Parliament.
Presently. from the side Of the sultan
-Ashmed mosque-surged enormous
crowds of Seftas and Clemas. The
broad avenue seemed a mere mass Of
white turbans The procession crossed
the square amid frantic cheers and
formed W in a mass before the en-
trance OF parliament. They had come
TO support the demands of the soldiers.
1t appears that the Sheik III Islam was
sent thrice to ascertain the wishes of
the soldiers while the council of min
listers was sitting at the porte. and this
evidence that the government coHsid-
cred their demands important added TO
the enthusiasm OF the demonstration.
Edhem Pashs Not Alarmed.
Another dramatic scene occurred aft
er dark when. at 1870 Edhem Pasha,
newly appointed minister of war. went
to STEAMBOAT at the suttans request to
declare the sultan's wishes. The great
square still was filled with soldiers i'm
a collection of tense excitement. With
his well known bravery. Edhem' Pasha
faced the troops cDOlly and amid silence
His message of imperial pardon was
acclaimed with great cheers, amid the
prolonged firing of saiutes, which great

New Orleans Picayufle: A sad story
comes from Kansas City Mo, OF the
death of Congressman De Almond. who
was burned up with young grzndson

present time as Democrat He was
one. of the most prominent members N
the House of his party and was dis
tinguished debater He was native OF
Pennsylvania, born in 1874, but the
greatest part: OF his life was spent in
Missouri, where. he held many public
positions before he was sent to Con-
gress. His untirely demise inficts a
heavy loss on the country as well as on

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Today is Thanksgiving Day. It is an
old custom from England. Its first OBJ
sefvance IN America was by the Puri-
tans. Since then it has become national
holiday fixed on the fourth Thursday
of November of each year. The day
has been growing steadily in popular
esteem, and it is;welf. There can only
be approval for the setting apart of a
day which, as at Christmas, leads to the
reunion of families, the coming home
of dear ones, when hearty greetings and
good cheer, which make life brighter,
are rendered and reciprocated soulfully.
Thanksgiving Day, as Christmas,
should arouse the spirit behtting the
day. There is none so humble in life
but can acknowledge his appreciation OF
some blessings. Even those who have
experienced the pangs of deep sorrow
over the demise of some one of their
| family, may voice their acknowledge
| ment of many blessings. Indeed, one
and all may be thankful for what they
have received.
"For what we are about to receive
may the Lord make us. truly thankful
Thanksgiving Day is not only da.
for rejoicing, but it is day when i'm
fortunates may be made. happy in thu
fulfllment of the injunction that it i
Imore blessed to give than to receive.

A BLACK EYE
Is Given the Good Roads Scheme of
DeSoto Parish.

Mansfield Enterprise Nov. "a: The
Police Jury met on Monday last, all the
members present. Mr.. J. w. Parsons,
one of the committee sent to New Or
leans to raise, money on the road Ger
tifcates, reported that he was Unable to.
do anything with them, and as all local
fnanciers refuse to touch them, and
the penitentiary Beard of Control has
.repudiatei its contract to take them for
work done, the Police Jury was at its
rows end. After much discussion
Mr.. Cook Of Ward Six offered a reso-
luton notifying Governor Sanders that
they were unable to float the certifi-
Gates, and that if they were not made
available by the first Monday in De-
cefnber, that they, the Police Jury,
would rescind all ordinances in refer
ence to good roads, and drop the mat
ter. Mr.. Barnes of Ward Three wanted
to kill the tcat" right now, but as the
Governor had given the Police jury
every assurance that they could be used
and prepared the resolutions and con-
tract with the Board of Control author
izing their issue, the opinion prevailed
that he, the Governor, ought to be given
chance to make good his promise.
The facts are that the proceedings are
of questionable legality. and no prudent
fnancier will take them at par, and
without a greater interest than the law
allewsessFfle simple and uhadulterated
facts are that the good roads scheme
tof Governor Sanders is sham, not be-
cause of any fault of his, But because

Under such circumstances the State

THE BOND ISSUE
A Majority in Number. and in Amount
for the Two Propositions Submitted
TO the Taxpayers. y. tT.

The result of the special election held
Tuesday has been annouBced. asfhe
majority in numbers and in amount IS
in favor of the propositions, one being
for the issuance of bonds for public
improvements, and the other for the
refunding of the whole out outstanding
bonds of the city and to retire such out
standing bonds. '~r - t-', -
It has been figured that the retire
ment of these bonds will lead to the re
ductien of the rate of taxation. 80. ::
Several days preceding the: election
the real estate agents, in brief circular
addressed to the public, announced that
they, would support the proposition sub
mitted. On the morning of the day of
the election a number of wealthy. and
influential citizens and business men
announced their opposition to the
propositions. This opposition. was not
suggested m any captious spirit of re-
sistance but on the ground that the
time. for. such issue was inopportune
and should be delayed
The real estate agents and their
friends as we'll as the city administra-
tion exerted themselves diligently to
carry the issue and succeeded in great
er majorities in number and in amounts
than had been anticipated.
In this issue was involved the ques-
ton of public improvements, which ap-
pealed to the majority. Had the bond
issue been defeated Shreveport would
have been placed in an attitude of dis
credit and of lnprogrsssiveness.
