coNsTANTINoPLE EXCITED.
Foreigners and Natives Alike Suffer
from Apprehension.

/ Constantinoo.e, Nov. A.--Constanti-
nople is in fever OF excitement over the
alarming reports from the field of battle
Foreigners and natives alike are suffer
| ing from the tension caused by the series
of military disasters and, although the
! city is in state OF siege, crime in some
quarters is unchecked Mary families
are leaving the city.
| The people fear, first, an outbreak of
| Moslcm fanaticism by the turbulent ele-
ments, the lower classes, and, second, a
rising of hordes of maddencd soldiers,
who are being driven by the Bulgarians
to make their last stand few miles
outside Of Constantinople and then. per-
haps, to fall back on the capital
The battle still continues on the plains
of Thrace, and. if the Turkish soldiers
fall back within the gates of the city it
is feared that they may turn their guns
and bayonets on those who are awaiting
here in trembling the outcome of the
conflict.
The Turkish army at Dedeaghatch is
to hem in the western flank of the Bull
garians, while the Turkish force, occupy
ing the line between Tchorlu and Serai,
is expected to deliver the decisive blow
against the enemy.
Defenses at Tehatalja have been re-
paired and strengthened, and during the
past few days many guns have been
mounted there. But if the Turks are
beaten at Tchorlu and Tcherkessketi,
an effective resistance along the last line
of forts is improbable.

The presence of more than 10000 Mos

the danger of the situation Rumors are
current that the Young Turks commit

of overthrowing the government, but
there have been. no tangible proofs of
such plan. 1t is doubtful whether a
rising would be directed against for
eigners as much as native Christians, nut
the danger to foreigners is very real
If the Turkish army sustains complete
defeat, the lives and property of thou
sands of foreigners, as well as native
Christians, will be in imminent peril.
The presence of foreign warships is
of the greatest Importance and would
be the surest. guarantee of security of
foreign interests and public order gen

severe the state of siege; strong patrols
circulate through the streets, and the
police have received orders to use the

PUTTING UP VOTING BOOTHS.
Preparations Made To-day for Barre's
Election Tomorrow.

In preparation for to-morrow's elec'
ton 4. c. Brock had force of men en-
gagged this forenoon in installing the
balloting booths at the different ward
voting places The accessories TO the
Australian system are stored away in
the basement of the city building at the
chose of each election and at the APP
proaeh of succeeding election days for
several years past it has devolved upon
Mr.. Brock to put the voting structures
in position again. Ordinarily the job oe-
cupies nearly a day, but Mr.. Brock has
become so familiar with the exact loca-
ton of every booth that he can put the
work through in half a day, under fav-
orable conditions.
The polls will be open tomorrow
morning at 6 o'clock and as has been the
case in years past, il is expected that
large number of votes will be cast before
I o'clock, the early hour being favored
by laboring men on their way to work.
The boxes will be turned at o'clock.
With few changes, ward officers who
served long night vigil at the polls on
the third of last September will be sta
toned at the polling places again to-
morrow. The Blackwell street hose
house. that has been the temporary
abode OF the man who assists Health Of
ficer John G. Woodruff in his care of the

CANADA NOT WORRYING
But Is Inclined to Think Wilson Will
Be Elected.

Angus A. Smith Of Perry street re.
turned home last night from few
weeks business trip to Montreal, P. Q.
While absent Mr.. Smith made il point
to sound political sentiment among the
dominion business men and learned that
leading merchants and professional men
Of the Canadian metropolis are of the
opinion that Governor Wilson will be
elected president of the United States
tomorrow. Although the reciprocity
bugaboo is largely thing of the past
in Canada, according to Mr.. Smiths be-
lief, the embers of Canadian animus
toward Taft are not yet dead and if the
Britisher has any preference in the
neighboring country's contest, it GER
tainly is not for the president
After all, says Mr.. Smith. Canada,
with her bumper crops, her almost un-
paralleled era Of prosperity. and the pro-
iected merger of the Grand Trunk, Ca
madam Pacific and Canadian Northern,
with its resulting impetus to land devel
opment, is not worrying about the out
come of the election in the States.
