 The serbesti had been carrying on a campaign against the committee of union and progress. in other words the Young Turks.
 The violent demonstrations. both in- side parliament and in the streets ad- tacent. followed the killing of the editor The grand vizier and the president of the chamber were obliged to harangue the crowds outside and assure them that justice would be done.
 The chamber accepted an interpella- ton denouncing the crime as poiiti- cal murder and calling upon the gov ernment to take the necessary steps to apprehend the assassin.
 The Polfffoal Aspect.
 The present grand vizier of Turkey Is Hilmi Pasha. He was appointed to this offlce on. February 14 in success sion of Kiamfl Pasha.
 HIlmi Pasha was formerly minister of the interior. and before holding this ofice. he served as inspector gen- eraI of Macedonia. Ali Riga Pasha is minister of war and marine and is grand master of artillery.
 These and the other changes in the cabinet that took place In February showed the absolute control of the po- liticsl situation by the young Turks party or committee of union and pro- gresss which virtually imposed on the sultan ministry of its own nominees.
 The committee on February ll pub licly repudiated any intention to over- throw the sultan or to Install mtli- taTy dictatorship. but the crisis and it's oAtcome was then regarded as not promising well for the stability, of the throne or the success of parliamentary government. St has been q question how the moderate. clements of the empire would regard this assumption of absolute power by an Irresponsible committee.
 The committee of. union ana pro- gress consistently opposed Kiamii Pas ha, Hiimi Pashn's successor. It sus- pecfcd him of being too considerate of palace influences and complained of his slowness in conducting the nego- tiations with Austria Hungary and Bulgaria.
 On April 1s Kiamii Pasha issued n statement in which he denounced the whose inachinatione he attributed the vote of censure In the Turkish par iiament and the consequent downfall of his cabinet
 The Irresponsible Interference of tbie committee, Kiamil Pasha declared. had neutraiizsd the efforts of the eovern- ment. and if permitted to continue would seriously endanHer the future of the country.
