General Massacre Feared for
a Time Yesterday.
TROUBLE, HOWEVER, NOT SERIOUS
All Christians in the City Closed
Their shops and Houses and
Prepared to Defend
Themselves.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, via Sofia, Dec. 13.-
There was a disturbance in STAN boul to-
day, and it caused the spread of rumers
so alarming that Galata and Pera were
soon in state of panic, and serious out
breaks were threatened. This in view
of the passage through the Dardanelles
of the British gunboat Dryad and the
italian gunboat Archimeade, as extra
guardships for the British and italian
embassies, formed the basis for report
that the riotIng predicted by the Yildiz
Kiosk courtiers had actually commenced,
but happily the trouble was not serious,
although the Armenians, as usual, are
accused of having attempted to bring
about an uprising. The panic, however,
was striking evidence OF the nervous
ness and apprehension which prevail
here as the result of the long-drawn- out
negotiations between the powers and
the sultan regarding the suppression of
the outbreaks in Asiatic Turkey and the
admittance of extra gusrdships into the
Bosphorus.
Simmered down to bare facts, the
cause OI Lne panic was uerc0 Quarr0l
between two Armenians in the Stamboul
quarters. Finally one drew a revolver
and fred at his opponent. The shot was
the signal for an uproar, the stampede
of spectators, and eventually, a panic
which spread from one end of the city to
the other, until matters began to look
very serious indeed.
The Armenians and other Christians,
terrified by the shouting and yelling,
imagined a fresh massacre had com.
menced. They hurriedly closed their
shops and houses, barricaded their doors
and windows, concealed their most val
liable belongings, and made all prepara-
tions possible for their defense. The
women as well as the men armed them
selves as best they could, after the recent
visits of the police, who searched their
residences for concealed weapons, and
left the unfortunate people very little to
fall back upon for defense in case of an
uprising of Mussulmans.

1t is ~ almost universal practice OF
farmers to plant II much larger area
of land than they can possibly attend
to until harvest time, and then there
is desperate struggle to save the
crop. This is not only true with all
crops like corn, potatoes, cotton and
other kinds requiring attention during
the growing season. but grain which
Is left to itself from the time of sowing
until 1t Is harvested Sowing more

habits into which farmers fall. per.

not confined to any country, race or

America that along the River Plate,
