Kiosk, which, so far as could be seen from the approaches, appeared to be unoccupied. Not a sentinel or soldier was In sight, even at the main gates. Punish Palace Officials. The Sultan, or those acting In bin half, hag supplied the Constitutionalists with a list of the crinclnal memhon: r.r the palace group, who brought ahnnt v. events of the paBt week. It Is understood that there are to be no reprisals, except In the case of the nalun rttir-ti Implicated. The members of the rsihinai. offered their resignations to the Grand Vlrler, Tewflk Pasha, bnt ho VfeMir.. t accept them. He said he felt that the ministers ought to remain In of- nce, rather than leave the rmmti-i- without a government. All consented to remain. As a matter of fact, the Cabinet is practically a Young Turk Cabinet, because the ministers who were appointed since -April 13 are In no way disposed to do anything in op position to the wishes of the commit tee of union and progress. New Plan to Depose Sultan. The Constantinople newspapers that follow liberal policies are writing in the most open manner of the desirability of submitting the competence of the Sultan to rule to an ecclesiastical high court, with the ultimate object or deposing him in accordance with regular forms. The investment of Constantinople with the Constitutionalists Is practically complete. Contingents of the Third Army Corps have been sent to points in Asia Minor, notably . Ehki Shehr, a sta tion on the Anatolian Railroad, to in tercept fugitives and cut off communica tion with the capital on this ide. SUITAN SHORN OF AIjLi POWER Can't Break Young Turks' Grip. Fanatics Are Only Danger. LONDON. April 22. While events In Constantinople seem to he marking time, they really are developing in a remarka ble manner. A week ago it seemed as if the old autocratic regime again had taken a firm hold and that the Sultan held the capital, with Its defensive forces, in the hollow of his hand. Today the Young Turk reformers, sitting in assem bly at Ban Stefano. which Is the Versailles of the present campaign, are holding Con stantinople at their mercy, while they discuss the fate of the Sultan, who is virtually a suitor for his life. If the Sultan retains his throne, it will he a throne shorn of all its traditional despotic power. Hte army and navy both have declared their fidelity to the Constitutional cause, and although a portion of the troops might rally to the Imperial call, the reformers appear to have gained a grip over the empire which they are not likely again to lose. " Mahmoud Schefket Pasha, commander of the Third army corps, who is in charge of the compalgn of the Consti tutional party, is now at San Stefano with the array and fleet, ready to en force the decisions of the Young Turk National Assembly. Probably tomorrow will see the issue decided. Serious news comes from Anatolia which places the loss of life in the Ar menian massacres at 10,000. According to Constantinople dispatches, however and an official statement Issued in I-ondon from the Turkish Embassy, effective military measures are being taken to restore order. The alarming spread of this outbreak of Moslem fanaticism still points to serious difficulties ahead for the Turkish reformnm t -v. the maintenance of the Sheri laws might "i jiiio poieni runying cry for the reactionaries," and knowledge of this fact Is probably the determining ,- i what seems to be a wise intention on the lu.rx ot me rerormers not to go to the extreme of actually deposing the Sultan.
