 Two Revolutions.
 It is noteworthy that while the revo- l lution of last July was the work of off cers, the present movement was carried forward by the soldiers, aided by the religious party, the leaders in the move l ment being the very troops, the Saloniki | Chausseurs, which heretofore had been the mainstay of the committee of union ana progress. The rising has resulted m | the complete oblteraton of this commit tee and it's newspaper organs, while many deputies representing the committee group 1 have resigned or remain in their homes. l During the whole thrilling, momentOus | episode, the salient features of the revo- | lution were the loyalty of the troops and 1 the people to the Sultan, whose name was | frequently acclaimed and the absence of attacBs on the lives and property of clt- | zens. The new cabinet held a meeting l tonight to deliberate on the situation. | The grand vizier and the Speik LII Islam | arrived at the porte in state at o'clock in the afternoon and were cheered by | an immense crowd that had gathered On the approach of the cortege intimation was sent to the troops and the discharges 1 of musketry ceased like magic. The | precincts of the porte was crowded in ev- 1 cry part and the hall where the nin- stry was called was packed to overflow ing An imperial hatt appointing Tewfil1 ] Pasha grand vizer and confirming zia EGdin Effendi sheik LII Islam, also | ordains the strict observance of the laws | and the preservation of the constitution for the "mafntenance of the security and progress of the government and the coun- try and welfare of all my people"
 Sutans Advice. | The Sultan added that the observance | of the constitution laid down In the hatt is of the most importance and concludes l by invoking divine assistance on the eff forts of the grand vizier and the cabinet | which is composed of elements outside of the parliamentary parties and which l generally Is considered as transltory and likely to lead eventually to the return of the former grand vizier, l<iamil Pasha. 
 Pasha, two of the most popular men in l Turkey.
 Much anxiety was felt concerning the attitude of the second and third army | corps at Adrianople and Saloniki Should 1 they remain faithful to the committee of union and progress the result must be civil war
 l According to some reports. which 1t is impossible to confirm. the Sultan, acced- ing to the expressed wishes of the mu- fl1n FwfA r.. f, Kiamil Pasha, and the war portfolio to Nazim Pasha. but both declined. I
 It appears that on Tuesday the Sheik IT Islam was sent thrice to ascertain the soldiers wishes while the council of ministers was sitting at the porte and this evidence that the government con sidered their demands of vital import ance added to. the enthusiasm of the demonstration.
 Tense Excitement.
 Edhm Pasha, the newly appointed min ! ister of war, went to Stamboul to de- clare his majesty's wishes. The great square still was filled with soldiers in a condition of tense excitement. Edhim l Pasha faced the troops coolly and dead l silence ensued. f | His message of imperial pardon was &C., claimed with tumultuous cheers and the prolonged firing of salutes which greatly l alarmed the populace and resulted in some 1 unintentonal casualties
 Inquiry at official quarters tonight elict- l ed the statement that news had been l received that the second army corps had ! declared in favor of the new movement, and that the committee of the union and progress at Adrianople had been dis | solved
 From Saloniki everything is reported quiet. It is reported that Mahmoud Mukhtar Pasha has fled.
