Constantinople, Turkey.-The third

Arif Bey, commander of the battle
ship Assir ]. Tewf1k, a member of the
committee of union and progress who
ordered the guns of his ship trained
on the Yildiz Kiosk, when the rising
was at its height, with the intention
of supporting the committee. Arrived
at the Yildiz Kiosk, the men lynched
Arif Bey, Notwithstanding the efforts
of the palace guard to save him.
The report that Mahmoud Mukhtar
Pasha has fed to Saloniki has been
confirmed. 1t is stated that Ahmed
Ria the former president of the
chamber, has taken refuge in the
French embassy and that Hussein
Jahid, editor in chief of the Tanin. has
fed abroad. There is no trace of the
other members of the committee.
The number of casualties during
the disturbances of the last few days
has not ben definitely ascertained but
is believed to be comparatively small.
1t is alleged that many officers, dis
guised as p~rivates, participated in the
movement and this tends to confirm
the assertion that the mutiny was
directed exclusively against those Of
ficers of the army who were members
of the committee Of union and pro-
oreSs.

Resolution as Adopted by House Is
Read for First Time In the Senate
and Referred to Committee
for Action.

Jefferson City.-Defeated by a vote
of Sc to 81 in the house of representa-
tiyes, opponents of the resolution to
submit to popular vote an amend
ment proposing statewide prohibition
have turned their attention to the
state senate.
The resolution was reported to the
senate Thursday, 1t was read the
first time and referred to committee
to take the ordinary course.
In the upper body there is a pro-
nounced sentiment in favor of a tax
rider to the prohibition amendment.
Senator McDavid, Democrat, of
Greene county expressed the opinion
that the amendment probably would
go through the senate in that form,
thus neecssitating reconsideration of
it by the house Of representatives.
Senator Humphreys thinks this
plan is advisable.
"Give it to the people-strsight," said
the Shelby county senator.
A poll shows that the following SEN
ators favor absolute submission, with
out any proviso for an increase in
the tax rate:
Democrat-Dorris, Lane, Bradley,
Humphreys, Anthony, Starke, Fields,
Chinn, Booth, oliver, Dranert.
Republicans-Grimes Peck.
Senators who probably would vote
for a tax rider-Mayer, Hudson, Ma
lang, Hall, Dowell, McDavid, Alice and
the st. Louis and Kansas City delega-
lions, numbering eight.
