LONDON, Dec. 2S-There was a sudden and
mysterious sensation in Paris yesterday over
report that the king of Greece had abdi.
Gated. Since the sudden change of govern.
ment in Brazil, Europeans are ready to ac-
cept any report of revolution and change of
dynasty, no matter how unheralded or mex
plicable. The old notion that governments
that have not been seriously opposed are Sc
cure from immediate overthrow received
severe shock when Dom Pedro fell. The re-
port In regard to Greece, however proved
unfounded Hardly had it been disproved
oefore another sensation was caused by a
rumor that the empress of Austria had com.
mitted suicide This also proved to be a
canard The Parisians are consequently in
such skeptical mood that they are disin.
