able comment here and elsewhere in regard
to the stormy and almost unprecedented
scene which took place in the sobranje, or
national assembly, at Sophia, on Friday
night last. December %, and early Satur-
day morning. During the debate on the
credit of $4,000 francs asked for by the
government for the purpose of suppressing
brigandage, NJ. Dosseff, the opposition
Leader. declared that brigandage no longer
existed in Bulgaria, and that the premier,
NJ. Stoiloff, asked for this money for the
PURPOSE of establishing a system Of poiiti-
cal espionage. An uproar followed, the
supporters of the government strongly de-
nouncing the assertion Of the opposition
leader and NJ. Dosseff replying with strong
expressions rejecting upon the ministers.
This caused NJ. stoiloff to exclaim:
you are a liar end a slanderer."
This served to bring matters to a most
intense pitch of excitement. All the depu-
ties sprang to their feet and hurled insults
at each other, while M. Dosseff continued
his attack upon the government.
Finally, the president of the sobranje,
DR.. Theodoroff. announced NJ. Dosseff's ex-
pulls on from the chamber for the remain
der Of the session, and directed the quaes-
tors to remove him from the precincts of
the house.

storm of Kisses and with the members of
the opposition grouped about him. Nj. Dos
self struck at the quaestors and beat them
off, but not until some of the deputies had
drawn revolvers.
During this exciting scene the ministers
withdrew and left the liberals in possession
of the house.
After an hours interval the sitting was
resumed at midnight. The opposition pro-
tested against the action of the govern
ment, declaring that the scene was caused
by M. Stoiloff calling NJ. Dosseff liar and
a slanderer, and, later, the opposition left
the house in body, in order, as they
claimed to avoid witnessing further acts of
injustice to the country and its representa-
tives.
