SOLDIERS OF SULTAN
START A REVOLUTION
Two Battalions in C0nstantinople
Surround the Parliament
Building.
DEMAND OFFICIALS GET OUT.
Panic Rules Turkish Capital n
People Shut shops-Mutiny Due
to Young Turk Movement.

Serious disturbances Of a revolution
ary character have broken out IN con-
stantinoplr. The situation is grave.
The mutinous troops made demonstra-
ton against the building of the TURK
ish parliament. Panic has seized the
people of Constantinople, and all
through the city shops were hurrledly
closed. The cabinet resigned and 1t 10
reported that Kinmil Tasha, the former
grand v~iZicr. has been charged with the
formation of a new ministry.
The present grand vinier Of Turkey
Is IIilmi Pnsha. He was appointed
Feb. II in succession to kiam1l PaSha.
Hilmi formerly was minister of the in
terror, ard before holding this office he
served as inspector general of Mace
donia. Ali Ria Pasha is minister or
wal and marine, and is grand master
of artillery.
The changes in the cabinet In Febru-
airy showed the absolute control Of the
political situation by the Young Turk
party, or committee Of union and prog
ress, which virtually imposed on the
Sultan a ministry Of its own nominees.
The committee publicly repudiated any
intention to overthrow the Sultan or to-
establish 4 military dictatorship, but
the crisis did not promise well for the
stability of the throne or h success
of parliamentary government. 1T has
been 4 question how the moderate ele-
ments of the empire would regard this
assumption of absolute power by an ir-
responsible committee.
Two Dattllions of troops quartereG
in the ministry of war marched out
headed Ivy their officers. and went by
way of Divan and John streets to the
Mosque Of st. Sophia, from which point
they surrounded the building of pariia-
ment. They demanded the dismissal of
the grand viZier. the president of the
chamber and the minister of war.

PHAIHIES TO BE PLANTED.
Immense Amount OF New Land Being
Broker Over the State.

.CNth oSSi tN DA"A,
Travellers on the lire between Pierr"
and Huron say that there ar" fully 100
power breaking outfits to be seen from
the train between the two towns.
This means that there will be an i'm
mense amount of prairie sod turned
over this year and while Il part of this
will be planted to corn, most of II
will be put into flax, which Will mean
the heaviest crop Of that grain ever
raised in this part Of the state. While
the weather conditions have not been
very favorable to seeding operations,
every fit day has been taken advantage
of, and a large part of the seeding Of
small grain is done But the small
grain crops which were looked upon
as the staples of the Missouri valley
for years are now being used only
as a side iSuSe of the main crops of
corn, flax and alfalfa, which are taxi
ing the lead, as they are looked apo
as more profitable crops than wheat.
While the weather delayed the seed
ing, it was not allowed to iHterfer
with the work of the breaking out
fits, and the amount of sod which will
be turned Over this year in his part
of the state will be largely in excess
OF the acreage in any one year since
the settlement of the country.

GASOLINE PRICE CUT.
Standard Reduces Rate Two Gents
Per Gallon.

AS the direct rcSult of a law passed
by the 1903 Legislature the Standard
Oil company has announced a reduc-
ton of 9 cents per gallon on gasoline
in South Dakota. The new law admits
into the state for sale a lower test gas
oline tina formerly. This gasoline is
reine from western crude oil, and the
reduction is largely due to the de-
creased cost in transporting it to
South Dlkota points. 1t is contended
that the lower test oil produces more
heat to the gallon, and hat it there
fore gives more heat, light or power
to the gallon. The company says that
hereafter it does not intend to sell the
high test oil in South Dakota except
upon special orders.

Of this lumber but 2S9 were granted

rest being granted to the ~colonists.
Minnehaha county, Of course, led with
154 Of the total number, and Lincoln
county was next with GA. Nearly all
of these were granted to members OF
the colonies which are no more. The
record for future years may go as
high, but if it does it will be because
residents of the state get the habit,
and not on account of the eastern colo
