UNREST IN CONSTANTINOPLE
Representations by the EnvOys Of the
Six Powers.
FURTHER RlOTING is FEARED
Unsatisfactory Promises OF RcfOrm-A
Panic Started hy shots from
un Armenian Church Said
Pasha Now Minister.

Constantinople, Oct. 6, via Sofia. Bull
garia. oct. THE representatives Of
the six powers have sent a collective
note to the Turkish government calling
attention to the inadequate measures
taken by the police authorities to MAIN
tain public tranquility in Constantinople
and its suburbs and demanding the
prompt institution of a rigorous in
quiry into the recent rioting. bloodshed,
and wholesale Imprisonment of Ar
menians here. They demand the release
of all prisoners who are innocent of
wrongdoing and the cessation of ar
rests.
Said Pasha, who is now minister for
foreign affairs, has called at the differ
ent embassies and has presented to the
representatives of the powers COM
munication from the Turkish govern
ment, repeating the assurance that a
plan for reform in Armenia has been
accepted by the Porte. 1t Is not be-
lieved, however, that this will satisfy
the powers
There have been no further excesses.
although a feeling of great disquiet still
prevails and fresh demonstrations upon
the part of the Armenians are feared
The Armenians, who are still inside the
Patraiichate church here, In which
last Monday, fired some shots at noon
today, and il was feared that another
outbreak was imminent. The police
watching the building promptly noti-
fed the military authorities, and q
strong force of troops was sent to the
spot. The soldiers Immediately block
AIDED all the adjacent streets. This
caused panic among the inhabitants
of that quarter, and they fled from
their homes in all directions. The
Turks then entered the workshops
along the quays, and expelled from
them all the Armenians they could find.
Later, it is claimed. the bodies of four
Armenians We're found.
Feature of Police Work.
One feature of the police work Is at
tracing considerable attention. 1t Is
recalled that the gendarmes while maxi
ing arrests repeatedly told the persons
taken into custody to ''call upon Eng
land to deliver you" Those who know
the ways of Turkish officials say that
this shows that the police were in
structed to impress upon the minds of
the Armenians that Great Britain was
unable or unwilling to assist them in
this emergency. Many quarters of
Stambul have been placarded with no.
tees melting the populace against the
"intidels." The police, 1t is true, tear
down these placards, but they are
either unable or unwilling to so be-
fore they have been widely read and
have had the effect anticipated upon
the Mohammedan population. 1t is not
claimed that the government is respon-
sible for this agitation. but the work is
going on, and the government, appa-
rently, is unable to put a stop to it.
In their petition to the marquis of
Salisbury on the Armenian troubles, the
Phil-Armenian association of this city
expressed its thanks for the stand
taken by the government of Great
Britain.

AFTER HERRING'S SCALP.
w. J. Burke Causes Him to Appear In
Washington to Answer Charges

The report circulated shortly after
Collector Grant Herring's embarka ton
for Europe that his former employe, w.
]. Burke, had gone to Washington to
prefer charges against him, was sub
stantiated yesterday by information
from the capitol that the collector was
called up for a hearing, on Saturday
last, before Commissioner Miller.
Accused and accuser We're brought
face to face in the commissioners Office,
and the charges, which We're in the first
place submitted in writing, were made
In person by Mr. Burke. The charges
include criminal negligence. inefliciency
and gross immortality. What the re-
suit of the hearing will be cannot even
be guessed at.
Mr.. Burke was formerly connected
with the internal revenue department
In Mr.. Herring's baliwick. He was
made collector of the income tax but
when this was declared unconstitu-
tional he was thrown out of a job.

more Cleveland Game.
Baltimore. Oct. THE two-time
champions today made their first ap-
pearance on the home grounds in the
Temple cup series. They had no trouble
in placing the game to their credit
But two Clevelandites got beyond first
base and both died at second. Egper
pitched magnificiently and was grandly
supported. Keeler especially distin-
guished himself. Cuppy, too, pitched
good game, except in the third inning,
when five of Baltmore's nine hits were
punched, along with his two bases on
balls.
After the game there was little
excitement outside the grounds when
the Cleveland club entered its stage.
A crowd of several thousand persons
had congregated in front of the club
house. Half dozen of the over-Zeal-
Gus rooters, who had become eXaspe-
rated at the reports sent out from
Cleveland to the effect that the Balti-
more players had been assaulted by
patrons of the game in that city. began
firing sticks and stones at the vehicle.
The players lay down on the seats. or
upon the floor of the omnibus and the
missiles went wide of their intended
marks.
Three of the rufllans were arrested,
and the omnibus, with number or
policemen in charge, drove hurriedly
away from the grounds. and arrived a.
the Carrollton hotel without further
incident Later in the evening the
three tone-throwing enthusiasts We're
fined $5 and costs, and given a severe
lecture by Justice Murray at the Cen

GAS PIPE BROKE AGAIN.
Same Old Trouble Near the Wyoming
House Entrance.

There was superabundance of gas
near the Lackawanna avenue entrance
to the Wyoming house yesterday. The
main pipe in the street sprung a leak.
The pavement and the fiagstone side
walks for several feet around where
the gas was escaping sank many inches
below the level, the appearance being
as IL there was subterranean bog at
this point.
Superintendent Robert Reeves, of the
Gas and Water company, put men to
work excavating. The pipes having
been reached 1t was found that new
ones were needed and the change was
made. The gas supply of the city was
shut off while the repairs were in pro-
cess of evolution. and as a consequence
the storekeepers had to use lanterns In
their cellars.
The cause Of the trouble Is believed
to be the defective filling arounda sewer
pipe which under1ies the gas main. The
police had enough to do preventing
small boys from lighting the gas with
matches and In reminding passing
smokers not to throw discarded cigars
or cigarettes near the place.

NOT DEAD, BUT SLEEPING.
Public Market Question to DC Revived I'm
the Board Of Trade

"a recent failure to secure the passage
In councils of an ordinance providing
for public market has not necessarily
put a quietus on the venture. Business
men have long been complaining of the
present litter. blockade and other nui-
sances Of the market and 1t Is probable
that 1t will be one of the chief topics
for discussion at next Monday nights
meeting of the board of trade.
Several requests have been made that
the board give its attention to the mat
ter with the result that action will be
taken. No definite plan of operation
has been suggested, but 1t Is proba BILE
that the need of a market will be re-
ported from committee along with an
accompanying recommendation of
what should be done. Hff
1t Is possible that Councilman John
T.. Roche, the promoter of the original
market ordinance In councils, may be
asked to address the meeting.

CUMMINGS FOR SPEAKER.
VIII BE a Formidable Candidate if Again
Sent to Congress.

New York. oct. Amos j. Cum
mings, the journalist, will be the Tam
many nominee for congress in the tenth
district of this city, where an election
is to be held to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Andrew ]. Campbell. If
Mr.. Cummings should be elected, he will
be the oldest Democratic member from
the north in the next congress and
would be formidable candidate for the
Democratic nomination for speaker.
The Oldest members of congress on the
Democratic side are from the south.
Some of them have been in congress
longer than MIR. Cummings, but he is
sound on the money question from an
eastern point of view. and on other
points of party policy, and might
therefore stand a better chance for the
speakership than a southern man.
