A dozen or more persons have been wounded and many arrests have been made. Great public excitement has followed the killing of Nazim Pasha, tho former war minister and commander of the Turkish array, who was shot during public demonstrations in Constantinople Friday night. Talaatt Bey, the new minister of the interior, informed the European embassies that all measures necessary to insure the security of the city had been taken. He also addressed circulars to the provincial governors, explaining the reasons for the change in the government, and calling upon people to lend their moral and material aid to the government. "We are determined," he said, "to defend the interests of the country, now face to face with the prospect of a resumption of hostilt ties.'' Enver Hoy, who has taken such a prominent part in the overthrow of Kiamil Pasha's cabinet, is the popular hero of the day. Nazim Pasha's death ,by a shot from the revolver of Envoy Hey or Talaatt /Hey is believed to have been accidental. The two officers, in order to protect themselves from the fire of Nazim's aide de camp, who had shot at them from a window, drew their revolvers and emptied them at him. A bullet struck and killed Nazim Pasha who was seated inside the room. Tho scene outside the offices of the Grand Vizier when the leaders of the Young Turk party arrived mere m the afternoon was <ery dramatic. There was a considerable crowd present and great enthusiasm was manifested when some one unfurled a flag and waved it. The excitement became tense when Enver, mounted on a white charger, came in view, accompanied by seveial Turkish staff officers. As he dismounted before the door and made his request for an audience with me Grand Vizier, the gates closed as though automatically. The cammandant. of Constantinople himself stood on guard and refused to allow any one to enter except Enver Bey and Talaatt Bey. Accompanied by the oommancian?, they walked straight to the council chamber, where most of the ministers v,ere gathered and without prelim i .anes caiiea upon me cuDinei w respn from office. The demand seemed to be more or less expected, for Kiamil Pasha immediately sat down and wrote out his resignation. Enver Hey took it and proceeded to the Sultan's palace amid the cheers of the crowd. The Sultan at first, was disinclined to accept the resignation as genuine, but after sending a messenger to the Grand Vizierate and obtaining confirmation, he called for Mahmoua Shefket. Pasha and promptly appointed liiin Grand Vizier. \aziir. Pasha's Death. Nazim Pasha, the commander of the Turkish army, received his death wound while expostulating with a crowd of demonstrators for having become embroiled in a conflict at the Grand Vizierate. The official version of the affray, which is termed a "regrettable incident," was issued Friday night. When the demonstrators, it. says, headed by Enver Hey. one of the leaders of the Young: Turks' party, penetrated the Grand Vizierate in an attempt to enter the Council chamber they were stopped by Fafiz Bey, aide-de-camp to the Grand Vizier, who, drawing his revolver, fired a shot at them. The aide-decamp of Nazim Pasha also fired at the crowd, his bullet striking Mehmed Nedjif, one of the demonstrators. The demonstrators thereupon replied and Nazim's adie-de-camp was instantly killed. Nazim Pasha, who was in the Council chamber, heard tbo shots and rushed outside. Facing the demonstrators he upbraided them, calling them ill-mannered curs. While he was speaking a bullet cut short his remarks and he fell dead.

All the old ministers were set at liberty Friday and permitted to return to their homes. \ FLURRY IN THE HOUSE SENATOR TILLMAN ASKED TO PROVE CHARGES. In Reference to Corrupt Influence of Railroad Attorney on the Legislature. The House on Thursday passed 'Mr. Rembert's resolution asking Senator Tillman to submit proof of his charge that a certain railroad attorney controlled the general assembly, contained in the Senator's reply to a special message from the governor. The Senator's reply has not yet been rnnH In Ihfi hntlRA. W. A. James of Lee, suggested that the Senator's charges of corruption concerned only the members of the house who had been re-elected. Mr. Wyche of Newberry opposed the adoption of the resolution on the grounds that it was of no interest to the people of tho State, being a mere squabble. Mr. Moore of Abbeville advocated the passage of the resolution. Mr. Stevenson of Chesterfield called to the attention of tho house that tho message of tho governor which "started tho row" had been reportod by tho house, judiciary committee and that it would be well to dispose of both senate's resolution and the report of tho committee. The judiciary committee recommended that tho governor's message urging restriction of newspapers and Senator Tillman's reply to it be printed in the journal. The house agreed to tho committee's recommendation. Mr. Ashley of Anderson advocated the adoption of Mr. Rembert's resolution. Mr. Rembert's resolution was adopted 011 an aye and nay vote of 7 4 to 3 8. Mr. Wyche of Newberry moved to reconsider the motion whereby the house agreed to 'Mr. Rembert's resolution. He said that the journal of the house should not be used for political spite and vituperations. Mr. Rembert moved to table the motion and the house agreed to do so, but after a deal of parliamentary manoeuvering the debate was bogun again. Mr. Nicholson of Greenwood paid that while the house seemed eager to resent criticism by Senator Tillman, it had not been so sensitive of criticism by the governor. He said that the house should go slow before t made any demands on the senior Senator. He said there was nothing in the language of the Senator which said that the legislature had been corrupted. The house refused to reconsider the vote whereby the Rembert resolution was agreed to. GRUESOME DISCOVERY. Body of a Woman Was Removed From Grave in Cemetery. A Chattanooga dispatch says intense excitement prevailed in that city Monday as a result of a gruesome discovery in Sorest Hill cemetery, the most popular burial ground of the city. Early visitors discovered near one of the driveways the body of a woman lying on top of a grave which had been opened during the night. The corpse was that of Mrs. Carl Scherer, who died in St. Elmo on Christmas day. Ghouls had opened the grave some time during Saturday night, removed the body, - " J ?I 1 rennou me grave unu pratcu iuu body on the mound, the head resting on a fresh wreath which had been taken from a nearby grave. The cemetery was closed ana a guard placed at the gates while an investigation was made. If there is any clue to the miscreants the officials of the cemetery refuse to make it public. No one is willing to advance a theory as to the motive for the crime. ? LITTLE CHILD'S BODY FOUND. ? Chattooga Diver Gives up its Dead and Solves Mystery. A dispatch from Walhalla says the mystery of the disappearance of the little four-year-old child from the Tine Mountain, Ga., section has been solved. Last. Monday week the littlo body was washed to the banks of the Chattooga river, and it was discovered by people in that section, who, though having given up active search for the child, were still alert for any clue that might lead to Its finding. J. C. Powell, of the Russell section, was in Walhalla Tuesday, and reported the facts as above given. The body, it is said, was in a fair state of preservation, though it is now three weeks since the child disappeared. ? While the mystery of the whereabouts of the child is cleared up, still it. is cause for wonder and speculation as to how the little one got in to the river, as the cnattOOga is oetween two and two and a half miles, at its nearest point from the home of the child's father, John Owens, * Thousands to Fight Disease.

The following In connection with r the election of Major W. L. Glace as Judge of the First Circuit will be | read with interest by his friends. It 11 ia from the Columbia Record and | shows that Major Glaze was in no \ j sense a candidate for the high and \ honorable position which has been thrust upon him. We can corrob- . orate every word the Record says about the matter, as Major Qlaze made the same statement to us the night before he was elected. Here is what The Record says: W. L. Glaze was Wednesday elected judge of the first judicial circuit on tho third ballot. There were J: four others in the race?Octavus Cohen of Berkeley, E. J. Dennis of j Berkeley, P. T. Hildebrand of Orangeburg and M. S. Connor of St. Georgo. The name ok Mr. Cohen was withdrawn after the first ballot; and those of Messrs. Hildebrand and Connor after the second, leaving! the third ballot between Messrs. Dennis and Glaze. Of the 159 votes cast > on tho ballot, Mr. Glaze received 87 i votes and Mr. Dennis 72 a majority I of 15 for Mr. Glaze. .ladgo Glaze succeeds Judge Copes, who resigned. Major W. L. <^\rz3 has been for many years a pro. .'nont lawyer at the Orangeburg baf\ He was for* ^ morly the partner oj the late Judge Izlar in the firm of Jzlar, Glaze & Hcrbort. Ho has been for many years the senior of the firm of Glaze & Herbert. In spite of the very flattering election by the general assembly when he was not a candidate before that body, and after positively declaring that he would not be a candidate, nor accept the position if offered to hitn, there is yet some doubt about hla acceptance of the judicial ermine, and his friends have been able to secure from him no more than a promise that he will not now state that he will not accept the election and serre the state. (Many friends, including those who were urging and advocating the elec- j tion of Mr. Octavus Cohen, have been busy since the election in an effort to persuade Major Glaze to accept, as ( they feel that in Major Glaze the state would have an ideal judge. Major Glaze is in the city for the purpose of attending the meeting of the state bar association, in which ho is an active member. To a reporter for The Record ho said that were ho ten years younger, and in good health, ho would have no hesitancy in accepting the very great honor that has been conferred on him, but he doubts his physical ability to stand the strain that would bo put upon him in the judgeship. He recognizes the duty of any son of the State to respond to a call for service, if he bo able to give it, and such A. questions as these, rather than personal inclination, govern and will irovern him in this decision. Tho joint assembly convened for the election of judges, superintendent of penitentiary and three directors v of the same institution. a ? Gen. James put in nomination for judge of the first circuit the name ot Octavus Cohen of Berkeley, which was numerously seconded. Senator Baney nominated E. J. Dennis of Berkeley, with seconds from all sides. Senator Lide placed in nomination the name of P. T. Hlldobrand of Orangeburg, which caused many endorsements. Senator Gross of Dorchester put in nomination the name of iM. S. Connor of St. George, and he was strongly seconded. On ballot the name of W. B. Glaze of Orangeburg was introduced by Senator Carlisle of Spartanburg. On tho first ballot 161 votes were cast, 81 being necessary for election. The result of tho ballot was as follows: Dennis 4 6, Hildebrand 43, Glaze 30, Connor 28, Cohen 15. Gen. James then withdrew the name of Octavus Cohen, leaving only four in the race for judge of the first circuit. The second ballot resulted in a deadlock. The total number of votes cast was 163, necessary for choice 82. Dennis received 53, Glaze 53, Hildebrand 33, Connor 24. Therefore a third ballot was necessary. Senator Bide of Orangeburg withdrew the name of P. T. Hildebrand, A ft A A %_ _ ana announcoa mar. ine urangeourg delegation would vote for W. L. Glaze. Senator Gross of Dorchester withdrew the name of M. S. Connor. On the third ballot W. L. Glaze, an attorney of Orangeburg, received 87 votes, which, being the majority, elected him Judge of the first Judicial circuit. The total number of votes cast was 169, of which Mr. Dennis received 7 2. Says Steamer is Lost. At Galveston, Tex., up to a late hour Thursday night no word had been received of tho Morgan lino steamer El Dorado, eight days overdue from New York to Galveston, and General Manager J. W.
