Constantinople, April 14.-Constanti-
nople is quieter this morning after the
eNcitSg occurrences OF yesterday. and
business gradually Is being resumed
a majority of the garrison, however
still occupies position in front of
the chamber of deputies and the war
Office. where it awaits the formation
of a new cabinet
The night, however, was one of
alarm. The troops celebrated the
overthrow OF the young Turks by FIR
ing continuous rifle volleys The
neople were ignorant of the cause OF
the firing and thought fight was go
ing on. The Sultan has granted prac-
tically all the demands of the riotous
troops. namely, the adoption OF the
Sherio laws as the basis for new laws,
the dismissal of the grand vizier. the
ministers Of war and marine, and All
med Ria, president of the chamber,
the latter to be replaced by Ismail
Renal, provisional leader of the lib
erel union; the removal from Con-
stantinople OF Hussien Jahid. chief ed.
itor OF Tanin. and Of Rahmi and JayId,
deputies from Salonika: the appoint
ment OF Iohrab. an influential men,
Der OF the Liberal Union, to be vice
president Of the Chamber Of Deputies,
and finally the removal Of the officers
OF the Salonlka battalions of Chaus-
seurs.
The casualties. resulting from the
rioting OF yesterday, include Neyim
Pasha, minister OF justice In the late
cabinet. who was mistaken for Ria
Pasha, minister of marine, and killed:
Ria Pasba. minister OF marine, who
was wounded, and Sadik Pasha. who
was killed. There also were several
casualties among the troops.
The events of yesterday surprised
no one. An upheaval was expected
az result Of the recent developments,
and the increasing dictatorial methods
Of the committee of Union and Pro-
grcss. The incentive to the move
ment appears TO have emanated from
the recently organized Mohammedan
League. The efforts OF this organiza-
ton were aided by a general order
from the commander of the first army
corps, insisting that the troops must
fire when SO ordered by their officers,
even upon theological teachers and
stuIents, when these individuals par
ticipated In demonstrations. The is
suance of this order, inflamed the
population and the soldiers, under the
direction of the commanding officers,
revolted. They seized and bound
their commissioned officers and march
ed to the mosque OF Saint Sophia,
where they voiced the demands that
since have been accedcd to.
