Says special despatch from Constantinopls 10 tho
Pdu Aau Gdzeks -
''The cause OF Midhat Pacha's fall dates some time
back Tho imperious character Of Mdbat Pacha
ciashed with the nrmness Of the Sultan, whose liberal
views went far ahead Of Midhats The constitution
disappointed the Sultan by the multiplicity of iss re
serves and qualifications. and many warm discussions
occurred between the sovereign the Minister The
Sultan desired to introduce largely aforegn element into
Turkish administration, and especially 10 employ Eng
"snmen IN leading positions In all departments His
majesty expressed this desire 10 Midhat Pachs very
sronsy on several occasions. and last week sterny
Seprmanded him for not having acted upon IL Midhat
Pacha replied curtly, and wrote subsequently 70
she Sultan in undeferential terms On Friday
last the Sultan sent for Midhss Pacha,
out she summons was not obeyed. Saturday
Aidhat Pacha remained home on plea Of indisposi-
sion. On sunday third summons was disobeyed,
eus Aidhat Pacha attended Ministerial council In
She afternoon. Meanwhile the police discovered
cret correspondence which showed that ,dhat Pacna
was plotting for tbe overthrow Of the Sultan and his
own nomination AZ Dictator. On Monday peremp-
tory summons brought Midhat Pacha 10 the palace

The fall Of Midhat Pacba will check no reforms the
Sultan being determined 10 carry out the constitution
In its fullest spirit"
DIRECTIONS yoR THE new GRAND vlzIEA
Tho Porte notifying It's representatives abroad Of
the Ministerial changes adds ds-.The sultan urgently
recommends tho Grand vizer to speedily and COM
petely develop all the principles established by the
constitution and to carry all laws and adminis,ra-
tive institutions applicable to the provinces"
sf'i VAGUE THEORY
The Daily Nescs has the following original and
startling Information from Constantinople, which
deals in a new manner with the deposed Grand
vfzier:-'Midhat Pacha has long been opposing tho
Snltan who desired to yield aud make concessions to
the Conference his removal 10 in every way desra-
BILE Edhcm Pacha's appointment will be conducive TO
Cancellation" The foregoing Is wholly at variance
with all previous Edhem Pacha's opinions
and conduct.
