 Foreign news usurped the field occu- pied in the past two days by the cold wave in this country and inspired q pit. At the opening of the session the eyes of traders were turned to the sit- uatibn in India and Argentina. Ad- vices from the former country stated that, owing to the drought In many sections. the wheat yield will be much less than previously estimated. while reports from Liverpool claimed that resaTd redaction ~ils in the RSssao exportabie S surplus of wheat from Argentina as a certainty. These reports caused a firm tone in the market here early in ket reacted on an estimate of the weeks shipments of wheat from Ar- gentina made by a well known crop ssasissician. This, estimate placed the tthnee bushels. the largest total ever record ed for the first week of any year. Du- ring the day few reports drlfted into the srowinE crop in this country by the cold wave, but the news was not accompanied by any orders to buy wheat and consequently had little ef- of the day. The market closed easy with May at TOT l-2 to 5-s and July at ss l.t. Clearances of ss'eat and -four were equal to 49,e00 busnels. Primary apolts. Duluth and Chicago reported re- ceipts of l62 ears.
 The continued unusually small move- ment of corn from the farms was the basis Of . strong market for that grain day. Some of the lafKAot handlers of the cash grain claimed that purchases thus far this season from the interior were far behind those of last year at encink dinicuity in securing sufiicient corn to meet the requirements.

Late dispatches from our cores
pondent at Constantinople show that
revolution of the most formidable
kind has broken out. Not only has
the ministry been overthrown, one
minister being killed and another
wounded. but the life Of the prime
minister Is In danger and the leaders
Of the committee Of union and prog
ress are In hiding.
For the present the revolution ap-
pears TO be complete. 1t is the worl;
OF the reactionary element and for the
moment revolution Is triumphant.
There is a possibility. however. that
the committee of union and progress
has not been finally defeated"

HEARING ALLEGED LEPER CASE
supreme Court Will Take Up Case of
Miss Kirk on April 20.

Aiken, April 1.-THE greatest of
interest is centered in the outcome of
the appeal to the Supreme Court of
the case of Miss NJ ". Kirk. versus,
the Aiken board of health, which ac-'
ton is to prevent the board of health
taxing Miss Kirk, who is alleged to
be suffering from leprosy, to the city
hospital for contagious diseases ON
the outskirts of the city.
1t will be recalled that when the
board was making preparations for
removing Miss Kirk, it was enjoined
py Judge Aldrich. When a hear
ing was held at Barnwell the injunc-
ton was continued until "a further
order of the Court" The board of
health then appealed the case to the
Supreme Court, and the case will be
heard on the Goth of April.
The board contends that n was act
ing in the discharge of it's sworn duty
when 1t was preparing to remove Miss
Kirk, inasmuch as it is contended
that she has leprosy, and in support
OF this the board has the afffdavits
OF numbers of physicians, including
the State health officer. The counsel
for the afflicted lady reply to this by
presenting affidavits to the effect that
she was once leper, but is now
cured. Some affidavits are TO the af-
feet that if she has leprocy il is an
aesthetic leprosy. and cniy very
slightly contagious, and that it is not
necessary to isolate her.
Possibly the most interesting point
in this action to the general public is.
the contention that a board of health
should not be enjoined from, perform
ing its acts for the good of the pub
Tic health, it being argued that If a
board can be enjoined, anyone, when
affected with an infectious disease,
could keep the board from removing
him or her to the hospital for con-
tagious diseases, and thus endanger
the health of the community.

TWO OF these may be included under

TURKEY AGAIN QUIET.
fORMATION OF NEW GARNET
TENDS TO RELIEVE CRISIS.
But the Situation is Still Delicate
Handling of Military Problem VIII
be Difficult, but Confidence Seems
Gradually to be Returning.

Constantinople, April 14.-After the
stirring events of yesterday and the
early part Of today in the Turkish
capital the successful formation Of
the cabinet and the issue of an i'm
perial proclamation ordaining the OH
servance of the Shari laws and the
preservation Of the constitution, serv-
ed to bring about a comparatively
peaceful situation here tonight The
members of the new cabinet, of which
Iewhk Pasha is the grand vizier. have
been Installed in Office. They are as
follows:
Grand vizier, Tewfik Pasha; minis
ter OF war, Edhem Pasha minister Of
marine, Vice Admiral Admin Pasha: !:
minister Of the interior, Adil Bey:
minister of justice, Hazan Fehmi
Pasha; minister of finance, Nury Bey.
The other posts are filed by the
previous incumbents.
The formation Of the cabinet. al
though it is not composed according
TO general expectations, has greatly
relieved the tension of the last 36
hours. The majority of the people
passed sleepless night, owing to the
continuous discharge Of muskets. To-
night the city is quiet; the troops
heve returned to their barracks and
the crowds in the Stamboui quarter
nave retired to their homes.
Confidence is gradually returning
although the military situation will
require all the energies of the new
government for it's successful hand
ling and the PRONUNCIATION of wise
measures so that the army may be
placed on a more satisfactory basis.
one OF the first acts OF the govern
ment will be to supply new officers
to replace those who have been re-
5ected by the men, and this will be
no easy task.
atsis noteworthy that while the rev.
olution of last July was the work of
of1cers, the present movement was
carried forward by the soldiers. aid
ed by the religious party, the lead
ers in the movement being the very
troops, the Salonika chasseurs, which
heretofore had been the mainstay of
the committee Of union and progress.
The rising has resulted in the COM
plete obliteration of this committee
and many deputies representing the
group have resigned.
During the whole thrilling momen-
tous episode. the salient features OF
the revolution were the loyalty of the
troops and the people to the sultan,
whose name was frequently acclaimed
and the absence Of attacks on the
lives and property of citizens.
An imperial hiatt appointing Tewfik
Pasha grand vizier and confirming
Zia Eddin Effendi as sheik-ul-islam
Will soon insure the strict enforce
ment of the Shari laws "for the Sc
curity and progress of the govern
ment and country and the welfare of
all my people"
