DISCONTENT IN TURKEY.
MINISTER RESIGNS. PROTEST OF A PREFECT. (Received September 11, 1-40 a.m.) Paris, September 10. There is increasing discontent among the officials at Constantinople. The Sheikh-ul-Islam and Minister of Pious Foundations (Hairi Efendi) resigned. The Prefect of Stamboul, on a threat of death, was compelled to withdraw his resignation, tendered because he disapproved of the corrupt use of £300,000, the proceeds of the forced sale of goods commandeered from Greek merchants.
