Panic in q College.

Two freshmen of Gettysburg, Pa, Col
lege having become afflicted with small
pox, quarantine was put upon the in
stitution at o'clock Monday morning
and guards were placed around the
dormitories. On hearing the news the
students became panic stricken, and be-
fore daylight over hundred made their
escape by jumping from windows, craw'
ling down fire escapes and forcing their
way past the guards. During the night
a number hired teams and drove away,
while those without money walked
through the snow to nearby towns.
About 20 boarded an early train to Harris
burg, but the local authorities wired to
the mayor Of that place, and when the
refugees arrived at their destination they
were met by squad of police, who locked
them in another car and sent them back
TO Gettysburg. When this carload OF
young men arrived at Gettysburg, they
were in bad humOr and defied the
police to take them from The car, but
the officers, instead of using force, laid
siege to the car, aud, alter several hours
hunger forced the Buys to surrender.
Early yesterday mornns the news OF the
escape was telephontd over the country
and all the day constabes from nearby
boroughs were bringing in student.
Last night cold lunch was served to
the imprisoned students by the State
Board of Health. All places Of amuse'
ment and schools have been closed.

Germany Captured the Contract.

Germauy's victory in capturing the
contract for the rearmament OF the
Turkish artillery continues to threaten
serious disturbance OF Franco Turkish
political relations. Tewfk Pasha the
Foreign Minister, tried to compromise
the case, offering to settle the Syrian
railways question in manner satisfactory
TO the French claimants and to buy
military equipment to the amount OF
50. 300 900 in France. Ambassador Con-
stans. however, demands the expenditure
of Sc. 900, 600, one third Of the value OF
the new armament with French gun
factories and the complete satisfaction OF
the French demands regarding the rail-
roads. These terms the Ambassador de-
cIared final and, not having received g
reply Monday, he informed the Turkish
government that he refused to continue
the negotiations, adding that the French
market was closed to further Turkish
loans.
As a result Of this notification the
Ottoman Bank withdrew its proposals
for the projected loan and notified the
Minister of Finance, Reshad Pasha, that
it would not entertain any request OF the
government for advances. The Dcutsche
Bank then came TO the Porte's aid with
an offer to assist the Treasury.
The Germans are thus for the mo-
ment in complete possession Of the
financial field. An trade has already
been promulgated ordering the purchase
OF all the guns in German factories, but
il has been decided to rearm only 60
batteries at present, instead of 142, as
originally proposed.
