Constantinople. Turlxsy. April i5.-~ The third day of the revolutionary movement in the capital was marked by some disorders. the most serious of which was a demonstration by marines, who objected Ito the new Minister of Marine, vice-Admiral Adjiemin Pasha-
 The marines gathered in force and seized and conveyed to the palace Arif Bey commander of the battleship As- sar-l-Tewhk. q member of the com- mtttee of Union and Progress. who or~ dered the guns of his ship trained on the Yiidix Kiosk. when the rising was at it's height. with the fntention c. supporting the committee. Arrived at Yiidiz Kiosk. the men iynched Arfr Bey, notwithstanding the efforts of the palace guard to save him. Although public confidence Is by no means re stored by the formation of a new cabinet, an excellent impression has been produced by the appointment of Maxim Pasha as commander of the first army corps and this has been strength- oned by the nomination of Nemduh Pasha. anotter able Adrlanopls officer, to command the first division at Con- stantinopie.
 Edham Pasha. the new Minister of War. and Maxim Pasha. today made the
 round. af the barracks In the city ana exhurted the soldiers to obey their ofacers. They were well received and heartily chesfed.
 Porte circles are extremely dis- qntetee by news from Saloniha and Monastir. where the influence of tho Committee of Union and Progress ls strong. ofiicers Of the Porte have re- cetved telegrams from these souroes demanding the re-establishment of tho status quo. falling which the commit tee leaders threatcn to march on Con- stantinopie with the entire third army corps. whose officers are now In cona- munication with the second army corps. with a view to cooperation. The latter corps. however. recently op- posed the committee. The impression prevails here that the third army corps Is ignorant Of the real objects of Tues days rising and may desist from its wariike intentions when 1t realizes that the Parliament and the constitu- ton have been maintained.
 A committee of Uiemas {wise and holy mem in the Capitol, has Issued pamphlets explaining the movement. which. they assert, Is in no wise di- rected against the constitutional gov- ernlnent. On the contrary, the com mittee emphasizes the Fraternity be- tween the Moslems and Christians and encourages all fo cooperate for the welfare of the country.
 The first news from Mersina waa. happily. exaggerated. Early adyices stated that massacre of Armenians was in progress at that place, which is seaport of Asia Minor on the Med- iterranean. The disturbance in reality occurred at Adana. which is about thirty-six miles from Mersina. Only ten Armenians were killed. Martial law has beeen proclaimed there, and achievements of troops are being despatched from Beirut.
 The report that Mahmoud Mukhtar Pasha has ned to Solikina has been confirmed. It Is stated Ahmed Riza. the former President of the Chamber. has taken refuge in the French Elm bassy. and that Hussein Jahid. editor- in-chief of The Tanin- has fled abroad.
 There is no trace of the other mem- bers of the committee. The number of casualties during the disturbances of the last few days has not been defin- itely ascertained. but 1t is believed to be comparatively small. It is al- legged that many officers. disguised as privates. participated in the mova- men tAnd this tends to confirm the as- sertion that the mutiny was directed against those officers of the army who were members of the Com- mittee of Union and Progress.
 A strange but significant session of the Chamber was held today It should be remembered that the Turk ish Parliament contains a majority the Young Turkey" par ty but only 1sS members responded to the summons. and this number was not sufficient to form a quorum. The en- trance to the Parliament building pra- scented an ordinary appearance. There was a. crowd of spectators and the usual guard of Salonika Chasseura, the same as were concerned in Tuesdays mutiny.
 Objection sat upon the faces of ai- most every Deputy. The members anx- iusly consulted the foreign reports to ascertain the opinions held abroad. The new President. Ismaii Kemal Bey, proposed that the Chamber hold short secret session. This was stormy and it was finally, voted unanimously that proclamation be published broadcast throughout the Empire to the effect that the House takes into the claims of the Otto man soldiers, accepts the resignation os the cabinet and grants amnesty, and that it had resolved to continue. putting aside all spirit of po- litical division and devoting its life Co the welfare of the country.
