The Standard s cor respondent at Constantinople estimates 2000 men were killed In the capital ye terday and the losses were heaviest on the side of the Constitutionalists, who did all the attacking and offered good targets in the open. During the con flicts, the Mollahs and Softas. fearing vengeance of the people everywhere sought refuge In the mosques, where they were caught and many killed. At the time of the surrender, the cor respondent adds, the Sultan had with him. besides the Grand Vizier and the War Minister, two of the nearest heirs to the throne. Mohammed Rechad Effendi and Yussif Izzedine, whom he detained as hostages. It is reported from Rome that about 80 of the Softas and Mollahs who took refuge In the mosques were found to be armed when they were cap tured and were placed against the nearest wall and shot. Dangerous Crisis Passed. Another dispatch eays few of the In habitants of Constantinople are aware of the dangerous cribis that was passed through last week while the town was in the hands of the mutinous soldiers. It Is said that mutineers clamored for money and threatened to loot the Euro pean quarter. In view of the urgent need, the government borrowed Jl.OOO.OOO and was able to pacify them. Whoever Is responsible for the mutiny the dispatch continues, it is certain that the reactionaries made the most of their opportunity and air- officer Is authority for the statement that certain Mollahs urged the men to murder all their offi cers. The latter, accordingly, agreed to don -disguises, to which they would have been obliged to resort but for the timely arrival of the 'Salonicans. No Newspapers Published. No Turkish newspaper appeared In Constantinople today. The Deputies attempted to hold a sit ting in Stamboul. but no quorum was present. It is believed that Parliament will resume Its sittings tomorrow. The city was animated this evening, thou sands visiting the scenes of the fight ing. Groups of the Invaders are seen every where and the whole city presents a martial appearance. Communications by land and water have been cut off to prevent the escape of those compromised by recent events. A house-to-house search Is proceeding and many arrests have been made. Otherwise tranquillity and order prevail everywhere. As an evidence of the thoroughness of the Salonicans, it is learned that the work men who were responsible for the ftas treachery at the Taxlm barracks were called out of the ranks and shot on the spot.

TRINIDAD. Colo., April -5. James A. Patten. the Chicago "wheat king." and his party, are spending the night at the ranch of the Adami Cattle Company, ten miles from the Bartlett ranch. Mr. Patten declined to answer any ques tions bearing on his relation to the wheat market or his intentions with respect to his stay In the West. CHICAGO. April 25. ( Special.) De spite plenty of opportunities for the large holders of wheat to give further emphasis to the correctness of their views as , regards the wheat situation during the last few days. It Is declared that after James A. Patten, the head and most prominent exponent of the bull op e.ation. left Chicago, the bulls simply let go. The weakness did not arise from 6uciai cnange in conditions on which were based the preceding strength. If previously prevailing statistical infor mation warranted prices of tho preced ing 10 days, there certainly has been no fresh items cited to make bulls turn tall unless at was the witddrawal of Mr. Pat ten in the middle of tho week v, A S0trIe. of Wall-street ' operators, headed by Thomas W. Lawson. it is said. Jumped into -the breach late in the week In an endeavor to hammer prices. And this hammering proved too much for the remnant of the Patten forces left in the pit to fight the battle without their leader. Afisuming that Patten is out of the market as an aggressive supporter for the remainder of the season and that he will quietly take and pay for such May wheat as may still be coming to him. there is no reason for him to fear a fur ther decline in values. Millers i various sections of. the country continue to pay very much higher prices than May wheat te worth in Chicago, and. high as those prices are. they do not in the slightest degree stimulate farmers' deliveries Na tural conclusions must be that farmers have not the wheat. Secretary Wilson to the contrary notwithstanding.
