ExCITABLE LEGISLATORS.
Row i'm the Bulgarian SObranje-One
Member Chilled a Liar.

VIENNA, Jan. 3.-There is considerable
comment here and elsewhere in regard to
the stormy and almost unprecedented scene
which took place in the Sobranje or ma
tional Bulgarian assembly, at Sophia on
Fridays night last. Dec. %. and early Sat
urday morning. During the debate on the
credit of $4,000 francs asked for by the gov
eminent for the purpose of suppressing
brigandage, NJ. Dosseff. the opposition lead
er, declared that brigandage longer
listed in Bulgaria, and that the Premier, M.
Stoiloff, asked for this money for the pur-
pose of establishing system of political
espionage. An uproar followed, the sup
porters of the government strongly de-
nouncing the assertion of the opposition
leader. and M. Dosseff replying with strong
expressions rejecting upon the. Ministers.
This caused NJ. Stoiloff to excaim:
You liar and a slanderer
This served to bring matters to 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 on the government. Finally the
President of the Sobranje, Dr. Theodoreoff
announced M. Desserts expulsion from the
chamber for the remainder of the session.
and directed the quaeSterS to remove him
from the precincts of the house. The Lib
erals replied to this order with a storm of
misses misses ana with the members OF the oppo-
at the quaesters and beat them off, but not
until some of the deputies had drawn re-
volvers During this exciting scene the
Minister'S withdrew and left the Liberals
in possession of the House.
After an hours interval the sitting was
resumed at nidnight. The opposition pro-
tested against the act of the government
declaring that the scene caused by NJ Stol-
loft calling NJ. DosseH liar and a SLAM
derer. was disgrace. and later the opposi-
ton left the house in a body in order. as
they claimed, TO avoid witnessing further
acts of injustice to the country and it's
representatives. During the absence of the
opposition deputies the government dis
cussed and adopted the political amnesty
BILL including the propositions to grant am
nesty to Zankoff and Karaveloff. The meas
ure is regarded sealing the Russo Bull
garian rapprochement. An exciting debate
had been expected on this bill. After the
measure had been adopted Saturday morn
ing, the opposition returned to the Sobranie
and this most exciting all-night sitting was
concluded.

The Mother of Statesmen has produced

--chvalrous men, fascina ting. soft-voiced
women. fine horses and the like. but that a
popular fad should originate with her is an
altogether new departure. Everything must
have a beginning, however, and who knows,
now that the fairy stone has found such

The reputation was local. however, until
that era in Virgina's history known as ..the

discovered that no tedious process was nee

into symmetrical cross, and a little polish

gave the requisite smoothness and the rich

the finishing touch to it, and

The traditions concerning their wonder

furnish endless themes to writer's of fairy
