Y.,aor Aprfl Ie---"shouid fighting .,.r,,, fn the streets of Constantinopie, ths loss of life among the civilians ,ro,,la be enormous" Is the opinion or an American army officer who Wit. hesseds the evolutionary. outnreak the Turkish capital last Tuesday.
 .As an Instance" the officer con tinues. "there was 2 clash .uesuss nirbt between two small sections or soidiery. Three soldiers were killed ana several wounded. whereas the casualties among civilians amounted 70 sixty. This Is accounted for by the fact that the popuiace, apparently without fear, mingled freely with the troops and received q large number or the bullets intended for the rebels.
 This officer estimates that at least 1000 900 rounds of ball cartridges were fired Tuesday night to celebrate the success of the. revolt and ne neiieves that many women and children must have been killed or wounded in their homes, as the walls of the houses have no more resisting power than 90 much
 The opinion Of foreign official cir clee in Turkey is strongly fayorabie to the Youne Turks contention that the revolt of Tuesday was engineered by the reactionarfes. but 1t isy not believed tn4f tn6 GukIan H00 any kHOWltuke 0l their fntentfons. The liberal union. which was supposed to be the head of the movement is without great in- fluence. The reactionaries used the name of the union and under its ban per. they hoped to abolish the constitu- tion and restore the ofi regime. Their momentary success might have been averted had the government taken a firm stand.
 4Continuing the officer said that foreigners moved about the streets of ccnstantinople without the slightest interference by the soldiers or the popu- lace and that members of the Ameri- can embassy were conspicuous. going among the people to ascertain the reason of the uprising.
 Maxim Pasha. former minister of jus- tfce, who was shot by mistake for the minister of marine. was on his way to parliament from Berau. where he had been calling on American friends when he was killed.

| LID WAS TIGHT
IN ALBUQUERQUE,
Saloon Men Obey Order of Sheriff
Romero and the Law in Duke
Ci+u

According to the Albuquerque Journ-
al, the lid was on tight in the Duke
City yesterday and not one saloon sold
any strong drink The Journal goes so
far as to say that most of the saloon
employees liked it and some of them
went hunting while others went to
church. Concludes the Journal:
considerable speculation was heard
yesterday and last night as to the
length of time the lid could be eX-
pected to stay on. Some seemed to
consider it only a spasm of virtue
from which the officers would recover
and these predicted an early return
to the back door and wide open pol
icy. The general opinion, however,
was that the lid is on this time to stay
and there were even those who eX-
press the opinion, in some cases hope,
in others fear, that in a few brief
months, saloon doors would not only
be closed. On the first day of the
week, commonly called Sunday, but on
the other days of the week commonly
called Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Porter became interested in the con-
cern which was disposed of back in
1881, and it has yielded him large re-
turns ever since This deal by no
means marks his retirement from the
cattle business, however, as he is still
heavily interested in both land and
