CONSTANTlAOPLEs Via Frontier,
Dec. 29.-The Young Turkish regime
in Constantinople is getting into hot
ter water every day. There are dis
orders all over the country and a
general rebellion is liable to occur at
any time. And it is bitterly complain
ed that the severity with which the
government is deslng with the NAL
contents was never outdone in the
days Of Abdul Hamid himself.
The situation in Turkey is very pc.
culiar. The revolution there, instead
of being an uprising OF the masses
against small group OF oppressors,
was an uprising by a mere handful
of progressives against nation
which Insisted upon its right to be
oppressed. Reactionary outbreaks at
present, therefore, have the sympa-
thy of an overwhelming majority of
the people and II the Young Turks al
lowed them to attain serious proper
tions the latter would very quickly
be completely swamped The conse-
quence is that they feel the neces-
sity for stamping out the slightest
symptoms Of disaffection in their
earliest incipiency and the methods
they take to do ii are not such as to
commend themselves to a. civilized
people.

them were actually tortured to death
and sixty-four we're crippled for life.
All were suspected of concealing

In connection with the Albanians'

OF torture have been accounted for IN
the vicinity of Uskub alone. How
many people have been killed outright

In the capital, the same work which

provinces, has been done by the po-

ed behind prison bars than in the
open, as is usual in the country. At
least one case was brought out re-
Gently in parliamentary debate. OF a
prisoner who was beaten to death in
the Constantinople police barracks.
Grand Vizier Hakkj Pasha tried to eX-
cuse the killing on the ground that
the victim was not a Turk but a
Greek subject. 1t is evident. however,
that many Turks have shared the
same fate.
Police spies are as numerous in
Constantinople az when Abdul Hamd
was on the throne.

WASHlNGION, Dec. 29.-Ame erican
Fdnance experts emphatically deny
be charge made recently by Sir Hi.
bm Maxim the British inventor. in
letter to President Taft, that the
bun explosions which have occurred
the United States, both in the
rmy and navy, have been due to the
orm Of powder grain used President
Faft forwarded Sir Hiram's letter
b the war department for considera
ion. The detailed reports Of the
rmy and navy ordnance experts were
nade public at the white house.
In his letter to President Taft, Max
m referred tc an article in Engineer
ng, London technical journal, which
printed an article declaring that the
powder used in the United States
hrmy and navy was dangerous. The
clipping and Sir Hiram's letter con
demned the use Of the multi-perfora
ted powder Of the army and navy as
unsafe. saying that 1t was the cause
of all the gun explosions in the mill
tary services OF this country.
"A gun using multiperforated powder

rounds, and would stand at least one
chance in ten OF bursting at the first
round II an attempt were made to fire

sible with full charges at tempera
tuse OF ffrom 125 to $50 degrees Faren
heit.
Discussing this feature of Sir HI
rams letter, Brig. Gen. William Gro
zier, United States army, chief OF or
dnance said:
1T may be stated that large-calibei
army guns have in a number of In
stances been fred as rapidly as pos
sible with full charges and weights ol
projectiles for a longer period of time
than twenty minutes. The most no
table series of such firings we're made
in August. 1902, by board of officers
engaged in testing disappearing gur
carriages. In one series OF those
firings a 10-inch gun mounted on 9
disappearing carriage was fired as
rapidly as possible for 27 minutes
1858 seconds, and in another series
similar gun on barbette carriage
was fired as rapidly as possible for AZ
minutes and % seconds.
Thirty rounds were fired in each
series and full service charges and
weights of projectiles were used. The
temperature of the powder at the
time of the firings Is not known, but
it is believed that the increased heai
OF the gun, due to the longer con
tinued firing, would give conditions
of least as severe as those suggested
by Sir Hiram Maxim, and 1t will be
noted that the firing was IN about the
hottest month Of our very hot sum
mer"
The report OF the navy department
On Sir Hiram's letter, consisted OF
letter from Secretary Of the Navy
Meyer to the president. The accidents
10 the naval guns, he said, were in
variably due to one Of the following
muses:
A weakness in the design Of the gur
n to the method Of assembling te

ection Of the powder charge.

An ambulance took Nh. Gaynor to
St. Mary's hospital, and the prelim-
mary judgment of the doctors was
that he had beer injured seriously.
There was a report in a few minutes
that he was dead.
DR.. Meyer bandaged up the mayors
wounds. In the meantime an ambu-
lance had been called from st. Mary's
hospital. When it arrived the mayor
was carried down the gangplank on a
stretcher. His face was pale, and his
hands were on the pillow near his
head. A bandage ran entirely around
his head and supported his chin. His
eyes showed that he was entirely con-
scious and calm. The bandage be-
came stained with blood before the
ambulance was reached. AS he was
lifted into that conveyance he began
ex%pectorating blood.
The ambulance was driven to st.
Mary's hospital on a gallop. 1t
reached that institution just at 1920.
Mayor Gaynor was Immediately taken
to a private room and the house sur
geons began to examine his wound.
The o%ut-surgeons had been sent for
and arrived one by one as the exam
ination was in progress. The first
word sent out was that the wound
would net prove serious. Later on
this diagnosis was modified some
what. 1t appeared that the bullet
had. taken a course that was not found
upon the first examination. The ply
sicians only said then that the wound
was more serious than was at first
thought.
