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 im- perial proclamation. ordaining the ob- servance of the Sheeri laws and the preservation of the constitutfon, served to bring about a comparatively peace ful situation here tonight
 The mAmbers of the new cabinet. of which Tewfik Pasha is the Grand vizier have been Installed in office. They are as follows:
 Grand vixier. Tewfik Pasha.
 Minister of War. Edhem Pasha-
 Minister of Marine. Vice Admiral Ad-
 Ministsr of the Interior. AdH Bey.
 Minister of Justice, Hasan Fehml Pasha.
 Minister of Finance. Nury Bey.
 The other posts are filled by the pre- vious incumbents.
 The formation of the Cabinet. ai- though 1t ia not composed aocoMiins to the general expectations has great ly relieved the tension of the last thirty-six hours. The majority of the people passed sieepless night owing to the continuous discharges sof mussetry. Tonight the city Is quiet The troops have returned to their bar racks and the crowds in the Stamboul quarter have 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 handling and tn promulgation of wise measures SO that the army may be placed on e more satisfactory bases.
 One of the first acts of the Govern ,ment will be to supply new officers to replace those who have been rejected by the men, ana this w1ll be no easy task. Fortunately. the new Minister of War. Edham Pasha, is generally re- spected and. trusted. and 1t is ,confi- dentiy believed that he will succeed in restoring order.
 It ia noteworthy that while the revo- lution of last July was the work of officers, the present movement wae carried forward by the soldiers. aided by the religious party. the leaders ir the movement being the very troops the Salonika ChaAsseprs. which here tDfore had been the mainstay of the committee of union and progress. The rising has resulted in the complete of this committee and it's newspaper organs. while many depu- ties representing the committee group have resigned or remain In their homes
 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.
 The new cabinet held e meeting to- night to deliberate on the situation. The Grand vizier and the Shiek ui Is- lam arrived at the Porte in state at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and were cheered by an immense crowd that had gathered. On the approach of the cortege. an intimation was sent to the troops and the discharges of musketry ceased like magic. The precincts of the porte were crowded in every part, and the hall where the ministry was called was packed to overfiowing.
 An imperial Hiatt appointing Tewfik Pasha Grand Wider and confirming Zia Eddin Effendi as Sheik u Islam, also ordains the strict observance of the sheeri laws and the preservation Of the constitution flor the mainten7 snce of the security an dprogress of the Government and the country. and the NsssSare of all my people,"
 The Sultan adds that the observance of the consultations la1d down in the Hatt is enc of the most important and concludes by invoking divine assist ance on the efforts of the Grand vizier and the cabinet which is composed of clements outside of the parliamentary parties and which generally is consid- cred zs transitory and likely to lead ever Cually to the return of the former Gr.nd vizier, Kiamil Pasha. and the Na~fvw. ahu two of the most popular men in Tur. key.
 Much anxiety was felt concerning the attitude of the second and third army corps at Adrianople and Salonika Should they remain faithful to the Committee of Union and Progress, the result must be civil war.
 According to some reports, which it is impossible to confirm. the Sultan, acceding to the expressed wishes of the mutinous troops, did offer the Vizierate to Kiennil Pasha. and the war portfolio to Maxim Pasha, but both de- clined.
 It appears that on Tuesday Shiek Ul Islam was sent thrice 10 ascertain the soldiers wishes while the Council of Ministers was sitting at the Porte, and this evidence that the Government coinsidsred their demands of vital im- portance. added to the enthusiasm of the demonstration.
 Edhim Pasha, the newly-appointed Minister of War. went to Stamboul to declare his majesty's wishes. The great square still was niled with sol dlers in q condition of tense oxoite- ment. Edhim Pasha faced the troops cooiiy and a dead silence ensued.
 His message of imperial pardon was acclaimed with tumultuouB cheers and the prolonged firing of salute. which greatly alarmed the popuiaee and re- suited in some unintentional casual ties.
 Inquiry at official quarters tonight elicited the statement that news had been received that the second army corps had declared In favor of the new government. and that tho Committee of Union and Progress at Adiranople had been dissolved.
 From Salonika everything is reported
