IN RULE
EXPECTED NOW
Resignation of Vizier Is
Thought to ForeShadow
Drastic Measures.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb. 14-Despite
the proclamation issued recently by the
Young Turks denying that any project
is Ou foot to dethrone the Sultan, there
are grave doubts and much alarm felt
here today on the chances Of his retain
ing the throne,
It is openly declared that the action
of the central committee of Young
Turks in forcing the resignation last
night Of the grand vizier, Kiamn Pasha,
is only the forerunner OF an extensive
program which has for its aim the sup
planting OF the Sultan by Prince Yusu-
hzzedins son OF the late ruler.
The Young Turks believe that the
resignation OF the ministers of war and
marine was a result Of the Sultan's ex-
lress order. Acting on this belief. the
captains OF three Turkish battleships
today anchored opposite the palace and
demanded the restoration of the two
ministers. They made open threats Of
bumbaTdment IA case their terms were
not complied with. A message was also
sent to the YHdiz Kiosk explaining that
any further steps OF a Feactlonary ma
ture would be followed at once by ef-
fective action.
Sultan May Act.
1t is believed that unless the Sultan
can accomplish the practically impns-
sible feat OF appointing a grand vizier
acceptable TO all parties his doom VIII
be sealed in a few days.
Following the victory Of the reform
eTs which resulted in the establishment
Cl q constitutional government in Aug
u>t last, kiamU Pasha became grand
vizier for the third time.
Because OF complications that may
easily result from the crisis, an effort
IS being made to hold a council of the
foreign ambassadors and ministers
here.
May Abandon Stand.
This morning a runOr was current
that the Sultan was on the point of
abandoning his attitude of compromise
and friendIiuess with the constitution
