Constantinople, April 15.-The third day of the revolutionary movement in the capital was marked by some disorders, the most of which was a demonstration by marines, who objected to the new min ister of marine, Vice Admiral Adjiemin Pasha- The marines gathered in force and seized and conveyed to the palace Arif Bey, commander of the battleship Assar-ITewfk, a member of the com niittee of union and progress, who dered the guns of his ship trained on the Yidiz Kiosk, when the rising was at it's height, with the intention of supporting the committee. Arrived at the Yildiz Kiosk, the men lynched Arif Bey, not withstanding the efforts of the palace guards to save him. Although public con fdence Is by no means restored, an ex- cenent impression has been produced by the appointment of Maxim Pasha as com- mander of the First army corps, and this has been strengthened by the nomination of Nemduh Pasha, another able Adrian ople officer, to command the first division at Gonstantinople EGhim Pasha, the new minister of war, and Nazim Pasha today made the round of the barracks in the city and exhorted the soldiers to obey their officers. They were well received and heartily cheered.
 Disquleting News.
 Porte circles are extremely disputed by news from Saloniki and Monastir. where the influence of the committee of union and progress is strong. Officers of the porte have received telegrams from fbo ol.1fe psss 8 of the status quo. failing which the sc, mittee leaders threaten to march on G4astaatinople itfi tie eni're Third army Us. whose offe.ers are now in commun- ication with the Second army corps, with view to cooperation The latter corps, however, recently opposed the committee The impression prevails here that the Third army corps is ignorant of the real objects of Tuesdays rising, and may de- sist from its warlike intentions when 1t realizes that the parliament and the con- stitution have been maintained.
 committee of Ulemas (wse and holy inen) in the capitol has issued pamphlets explaining the movement, which they as- sert is ir no wise directed against the con stituuoEal government. On the contrary the committee emphasizes the fraternity between the Moslems and Christians and encourages all to cooperate for the well fare of the country.
 The first news from Mersina was, hap oily, exaggerated. Early advices stated that a massacre of Armenians was in progress at that place, which is a seaport of Asia Minor on the Mediterranean. The disturbance in reality occurred at Adana which is about 36 miles from Mersina Only 10 Armenians were killed. Martial law has been proclaimed there and rein forcements of troops are being dispatched from Beirut.
 Leaders Have Fled.
 The report that Mahmoud Mukhtar Pasha has fled to Salonki has been con hrmed. It is stated that Ahmed Riga the former president of the chamber, has taken refuge in the French embassy and that Hussein Jahid, editor-in-chief of the Tanin. has fled abroad.
 There Is no trace of the other members of the committed The number of casu- alties during the disturbances of the last few days has not been definitely ascer- 'tained, but 1t is believed to be compara- lively small. It is alleged that many off, cers. disguised as privates, participated fin the movement and this tends to con firm the assertion that the mutiny was directed exclusively against those officers of the army who were members of the committee of union and progress. A ses- sion of the chamber was held today. It should be remembered that the Turkish parliament contains a majority repre- senting the "young Turkey party, but orly 1SS members responded to the sum mons and this number was not sufficient at form a quorum. The entrance to the parliament building presented an ordinary appearance. There was a crowd of spec tators and the usual guard of saloniki chasseurs, the same as were concerned in Tuesdays mutiny.
 Deputies Dejected.
 Detection sat upon the faces of almost every deputy. The members anxiously requested the foreign correspondents to ascertain the opinions held abroad. The new president, Isma1 Kemil Bey, pro- posed that the chamber hold a short se- cret session. This was stormy, and 1t was finally voted unanimously that a proclamation be published broadcast throughout the empire to the effect that the house takes into consideration the claims of the Ottoman soldiers, accepts the resignation of the cabinet and grants amnesty. and, furthermore, that it had resolved to continue putting aside all spirit of political division and devoting It's life to the welfare of the country.
 In addition, the chamber agreed to is- sue assurances to the various constitu- encies that order would be restored and the constitution maintained Later the chamber resumed it's public sitting for the formal election of a new president Isnal Kemil Bey's appointment having been merely temporary one. made nec- essary by the withdrawal of Ahmed Riga Doyen Maxi Pasha occupied the chair, and Ahmed Rizas resignation was &C., rented without vote being taken
 After tedious balloting no nominee had A sufficient majority to secure his elec- tIon while the soldiers nominee, Ismal Kemi1 Bey, stood only third on the list. The proceedings therefore were postponed until Saturday, when there is little doubt that Ismal Kemil will be elected.
 The whole attitude of the chamber to- dav indicated its sense of defeat and lost enthusiasm,
