PANIC AT STAMBOUL
General Massacre Feared for
a Time Yesterday.
TROUBLE, HOWEYER, NOT SERIOUS
All Christiana In the City Closed
Their Shops and Houses and
Prepared to Defend
Themselves.
Constantinople, via Sofia, Dec. 13.
There was a disturbance in Stamboul. to
day, and it caused the spread of rumors
so alarming that Galata and Fera were
soon in a state of panic, and serious out
breaks were threatened. This in view
of the passage through the Dardanelles
of the British gunboat Dryad and the
Italian gunboat Archimeade, as extra
" guardships for the British and Italian
embassies, formed the basis for a report
that the rioting predicted by the Yildiz
Kiosk courtiers had actually commenced,
but happily the trouble was not serious,
although the Armenians, as usual, are
accused of having attempted to bring
about an uprising. The panic, however,
was a 'striking evidence ot the nervous
ness and apprehension which prevail
here as the result of the long-drawn-out
negotiations between the powers and
the sultan regarding the suppression of
the outbreaks in Asiatic Turkey and the
admittance of extra guardships into the
Bosphorus.
Simmered down to bare facts, the
cause of the panic was a fierce quarrel
between two Armenians in the Stamboul
quarters. Finally one drew a revolver
and fired at his opponent. The shot was
the signal for an uproar, the stampede
of spectators, and eventually, a panic
-which spread from one end of the city to
the other, until matters began to look
very eerious indeed.
The Armenians and other Christians,
terrified by the shouting and yelling,
imagined a fresh massacre bad com
menced. ' They hurriedly cloeed their
shops and houses, barricaded their doors
and windows, concealed their most val
uable belongings, and made all prepara
tions possible for their defense. The
women as well as the men armed them
selves as best they could, after the recent
visits of the police, who searched their
residences for concealed weapons, and
left the unfortunate people very little to
fall back upon for defense in case of an
uprising of Mussulmans.
CIVIL. SERVICE REFORM LEAGUE,
The Officers Elected at Ita Meeting: To
daySome Recommendations.
Washington, Dec. 13. The National
Civil Service Keforin League today elect
ed the following officers : Hon. Carl
Schurz, president; vice-presidente,Cha8.
Francis Adams, Boston ; August K. Mc
Donough, New York ; Henry C. Potter,
New York; J Hill Pleasant, Baltimore;
Henry Hitchcock, St. Louis; Henry C.
Lea, Philadelphia; Franklin MacVeagh,
Chicago; Rt. Rev. C. Ryan, Buffalo;
Willian Potts, Farmington.
The report of the officiar committee on
extension entered into detail regarding
the recommendations contained in the
recent order of President Cleveland ex
tending the civil eervice rules. The
committee recommended that applicants
for positions in the diplomatic service be
given,, a . fair, open examination under
the 'civil service commission, thereby
relieving the appointing power ot the
temptation to have men it desires pass
the examination unfairly. The report
was adopted. "
The report of the committe on legisla
tion recommended the preparation of
bills looking to a betterment of the civil
service. It was agreed to."
The committee on District of Colum
bia recommended that the government
of the district be placed under civil
rules; adopted.
Geo. W. Jenkins, editor of the Santa
Maria "Times," Cal., in speaking of the
various ailments of children said:
"When my children have croup there is
only one patent medicine lever use, and
that is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
It possesses some medical properties
that relieve the little sufferers immedi
ately. It is, in my opinion, the best
cough medicine in the market." If this
remedy is freely given as soon as the
croup cough appears it will prevent the
attack. It is also an ideal remedy for
whooping cough. There is no danger in
giving it to children, as it contains noth
ing injurious. For sale by Biakeley &
Houghton, Druggist.
The House Committees.
Washington, Dec, 13. Speaker Seed
did not appear at the capitol today. It
was announced that he remained at his
hotel to work on the committees. The
impression grows stronger daily that
Dingley of Maine will be chairman of
the ways and means committee, in
stead of Payne of New York, who, 10
days ago, was supposed to be booked for
the leadership of the majority on the
floor.
For the chairmanship of the appropria
tions committee the contest lies between
General Henderson, of Iowa, the pres
ent ranking member, and Cannon of
Illinois, who would have been the rank
ing member had he not failed of elec
tion to the 52.1 congress.
The tivi-is nl Imrbors chairmanship
is supposed to .ii between Hermann of
Oregon and Ho kt;r of New York. The
chairminshi,- ihe following commit
tees seem uIim-.m certain: Foreign af
fairs, Hitt of Illinois; judiciary, Stone of
Pennsylvania; Pacific railways, Powers
of Vermont; banking and currency,
Walker of Mississippi ; interstate com
merce, Hepburn of Iowa; election.",
