AFRAID OF FIREARMS.
Constantinople, Oct. 30.-(Delayed in
transmission)-A severe panic was caus-
ed Yesterday evening by the gun prac-
tice of the French guardship in the sea
Of Marmora 1t caused the TURKISH
government to urge upon the FRENCH
ambassy that the guardship should prac-
tice futher away from the city. The
French ambassador, NJ. Canon, re-
oiled that he regretted the alarm but the
people, he added, should become ac-
eugtomed to the subject of firing.
VENEZUELAN ARBITRATION.
London, Oct. 30.-The Chronicle makes
the following statement: There is
good reason to believe a tribunal SIM
tlar to the Boring sea commission, with
Sir Richard Webster, the attorney gen.
eral, representing England, will be APP
pointed to solve the Venezuelan bound
airy affair"
A high official of the foreign office, re-
ferring to the statement made by the
Chronicle this morning, said this after
noon that he had no knowledge of the
appointment of such a tribunal. Asked,
If such a tribunal should be appointed,
would all the territory claimed by vene-
Zuela be included in the arbitration, he
replied:
THAT is the essence Of the whole mat
ter. Venezuela only claimed all along
the territory to the bank of the Esse-
GUIDO. Every one knowns that a por-
ton was settled by the Dutch; and
Venezuela, throughout, has been so
stubborn In the matter that 1t has been
impossible to arrive at any conclusion.
If the entire disputed territory was sub
united to arbitration it might involve
giving up the greater part Of the colony,
however, the matter is now under dis
cussion, and while state matter is be-
ing discussed I must await report be-
fore expressing an opinion.
WASHINGTON DOESN'T KNOW.
Washington Oct. 3o.-CloIse inquiry
here into the intimation from London
that Sir Richard Webster has been Sc
aected as member of a commission to
arb1trate the Venezuelan boundary
question fails to develop confirmation OF
any sort for the statement. While the
negotiations are progressing, they have
not reached the stage where they relate
10 the personnel Of any arbitration COM
mission, but are still devoted to a dis
cussion Of the limitations to be i'm
posed upon any commission to be Great
ed. From the high reputation of Sir
Richard Webster, his selection is not re-
garded as improbable, when the nego-
tiations reach the proper phase, but it is
Bald here that the nomination was not
made from source in political sympa>
Thy with the present British cabinet.
