Of the barracks and eXhoTted the sol

heartily cheered.
Porte circles are disquieted by news
from Salouild and M0nastir. where the in
fluence Of the committee Of union and
progress is strong. OFFICERS Of the porte
have received kilograms from these sec
lions demanding the establishment of
the status quo. falling which the COM
mittee leaders threaten to march on Con-
stantinople with the entire third army
corps. whose officers are now i'm commits
nication with the second army corps, with

Ignorant of What Happened.
The impression prevails here that the
third army corps is ignorant of the real
objects of Tuesdays rising, and may de-
s-rt when 10 realizes that the parliament
and the constitution have been main
tanned.
4 committee of Moslems in the capital
has issued pamphlets explaining the
movement. which. they assert is in no
wise directed against the constitutional
government The committee emphasizes
the fraternity between the Moslems and
Christians ana encourages the co-opera-
ton of all FOR the welfare of the country.
Trouble in Asia Minor.
The first news from Mersina was exag-
gerated. Early advices stated that
massacre of Armenians was IN progress
at that place. which is a Mediterranean
seaport of Asia Minor. The disturbance
in reality occurred al Adana. which is
about thirty-five miles from Mersina.
Only ten Arm enians were killed. Martial
law has been proclaimed there, and rein
forcements are being dispatched from
Beirut
The report that Mahmoud Mukhtar Pa
sha has fled 10 SalOniki has been con-
firmed- Il is stated that Ahmed Ria, The
former president of the chamber has

that Hussein Jahid. editor-in-chief Of the
Tanin. has fled abroad
The number of casualties during the
disturbances Of the last few DAYS has not
been definitely ascertained. but il is be
lieved To be comparatively small II is
alleged that many officers. disguised as
privates, participated. This tends to con-
firm the assertion that the muUiny was
directed against army officers who were
members of the committee Of union and

Detected Deputies.
a strange but significant session of the
chamber Of deputies was held. Detection
sat on the face of almost every deputy.
The members auNtOusly consulted the for

ions held abroad The new president. Is
Inaei Kemll Bey. proposed that the cham
her hold a short secret session This
was stormy and il was finally decided
that "A proclamation be published through
out the empire tnat the house considers
the claims of the Ottoman soldiers. ac-
eepts the resignation OF the cabinet and
grants amnesty.
In addition the chamber agreed to is
sue assurances to the various constituent
cies that order viii be restored and the
constitution maintained.
The whole attitude of the chamber to-
day indicated its sense Of defeat and lost
influence Few of the members dared to
speak. Those more cOura geOus were in
terrupted by the tiUid. who apparently
were fearful that the next attack might
be directed against them. The Hodgas
dominated the situation and spoke imper-
ativeiy.
No Need for Alarm.
When the sitting became public several
ministers took part. The minister of in
structiOn declared that the new minis

tuition and would rather die than violate
their oathS He assured the chamber
that nothing threatened the constitution
and there was no reed for alarm This

bers so pleased.

the appeal made to religious feeling was
