INFORMATION SCARCE.
Such Advices as are Received at Lon.
don Confirm Story Of Revolution.

London, April 13.-The only news to
reach London up to 1890 today of til"
situation at Constantinople. was con-
tanned in a code message 1t set forth
that serious disturbances OF revolu-
tionary character had broken out and
that the situation was grave and it
was accepted here as foreshadowing a
dangerous upheava.
Neither the foreign Office, the Tur-
klsh embassy nor tn, banks with Con-
stantinople connections had any fur
ther information. 1t is known, how
ever, that the situation has been ex-
tremely strained for several weeks
past owing to the great bitterness be-
tween the committee of union and pro-
gress and the Liberals. The Liberals
resent the attempts of the committee
to control public affairs.
The murder Of Hassan Fehmi Effen-
al. editor of the Liberal newspaper
Serbesti. April Z. is thought to have
been the climax of this political feud.
The editor was shot and killed by an
unknown man as he was entering his
office. A government official accom-
panying him, was wounded. The Ser
besti had been carrying on cam
paign against the committee of union
and progress. in other words, the
Young Turks.
Violent demonstrations both inside
Parliament and in the streets adjacent
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
iiIStice would he done The Chamber
accepted an Interpolation denouncing
the crime as political murder and
calling upon the government to take
the necessary steps to apprehend the
aSsaSsins.

The TROOPS MuriNY
....... IN coNsTAN1lNoPLE
CONTINUED from Page One.)

The present grand vizier Of Turkey is
Hilmi Pasha. He was appointed to this
Office Feb. IA in succession to Kamil
Pasha.
.Hilmi Pasfa was formerly minister
Of the interior and before holding this
office he served as inspector general
OF Macedonia. Ali Ria Pasha is Hill
mis- minister of war. He holds also the
marine portfolio and is grand master Of
artillery. These and the other changes
in the cabinet that took place in Feb
s,1,ary showed the absolute control of
the political situation by the Young
Turks party, or committee of union
and progress, which virtually imposed
on the Sultan a ministry of it's own
- nominees.
'ssseThe committee on Feb. IA publicly
the Sultan or to install a military die
tatorship, but the crisis and its out
- come was then regarded as not prom
Using well for the stability Of the throne
or the success of the parliamentary
government. 1t has been question
how the moderate elements Of the en-
II pire would regard this assumption of
absolute power by an irresponsible
committee.
The committee of union and progress
consistently opposed Kaimil Pasha.
Hilmi Pasha's predecessor. 1t suspect
ed him Of being too considerable of pal
ace influences and it complained of his
siowEess in conducting the negotia-
tions with Austria Hungary and Bull
" garia.
On April 3, Kaimil Pasna issued
- statement in which he denounced the
committee on union and progress, to
whose Vaccinations he attributed the
vote of censure in the Turkish Parlia-
ment and the consequent downfall OF
his cabinet. The irresponsible Interior
ence of this committee. kaimil Pasha
declared. had neutralized the efforts OF
the government and if permitted TO
continue. would seriously endanger the
future of the country.

ANCIENT SHERi LAWS
Are Demanded by Mutineers and
Promised by Government.

London. April 13.-Turkeys pathway
towards constitutional government will
apparently not be traversed without
bloodshed. Today's grave news from
Constantinople reports another success
ful revolutionary movement. which, so
far as the obscure nature of the dis
patches thus far received allows one to
judge. has been directed primarily against
the new despotism of the committee of
union and progress. and. in the second
place, against the demands of the Young
Turks party for freedom in religion.
While 1t is difficult to disentangle what
really happened. owing to the evidently
severe censorship exercised over press
dispatches. it is clear that the grand
vlzIer and the cabinet recently appointed
at the dictation of the Committee of
Union and Progress has been overthrow
and new government. seemingly of mil
itary character, instituted. From Vienna
comes serious news of the murder of one
minister and the wounding and arrest
OF others by the mutneers and casualty
list OF IL killed and 80 wounded as the
price of the latest revolution.
AL the same time the Sultan, while par
doning the mutineers, promises to uphold
the ancient Sheri laws. which are the
civil and religious laws of Mohammedans.
based upon the Koran and the ancient
traditions. as opposed to the various laws
OF individual races of Islam and to meas
ures instituted at various times by sue
Cessive rulers. The Sheri laws involve
the principles studied and eXpounded bv
the Ulemas or Mohammedan doctors of
the law. and on them the Muftis base
their legal opinions and the Cadis the
judgments.
No reliable news is yet at hand regard
ing the new cabinet except that appar-
ertly Tewfik Pasha. recently appointed
ambassador to Great Britain. will be
grand vizier and Edhim Pasha minister
of war. 1t appears safe to assume, how
ever. for the present that the new con-
stitution is safe. That the movement
was entirely against the Committee of
Union and Progress is proved by the
murder of Deputy Emir Arslam in mis-
take for Hussein Jafid. who is member
of the committee and the editor of one of
the committees organs.

THE NIAGARA ICE JAM
Is Made Worse by Southeast Gale and
, More Damage Is Feared.

Buffalo. n Y, April 13.-The wind
today shifted to the southeast and
blew up a 50-mile gale, sending i'm
mense fields of ice from Lake Erie in
to the Niagara river. Below the falls
the mild weather and a warm rain had
freed the ice jam from the upper steel
arch bridge to Lewiston. but the pack
held solid from that point to Lake On
tario. II, as is feared tonight, the
river again jams above the rapids,
solid to the falls, the damage already
DONE amounting to nearly s1.000,0O0
will be greatly increased. The only
hope is that the river-pack has been
sufficiently cleared to care for the
thousands of tons of ice going over
the falls tonight.
