that the popular ferment against King

DEPUTIES URGE MODERATION.

Attempt to Overthrow the KinRdo
Would On>y Help Turks.
ATHENS, April 29.-The opposition
deputies have issued the following ad-
dress to the people:
Fellow Citizens: In the critical period
through which the country is passing,
summoning of the chamber is necessary.
The opposition believes it to be it's duty to
address to all citizens recommendation
and a request to do all in their power to
contribute to the maintenance of order,
which Is Indispensable not only for the
safety of all, but because it constitutes an
Indispensable element for safeguarding
the honor and rights Of the nation.
Let us not forget that the enemy is
treading the soil of our country, and that
our army is confronting it, At such mo-
ment anyone attempting to disturb order
would be nothing but an ally of the
Turks.
This address is signed by all the op-
position deputies now in Athens.
Special trains have been placed at
the disposal of the provincial deputies
in order to enable them to arrive in
time to take part in the extraordinary
session of the legislative assembly.
The French minister here, Nj. F. F.
Abbourre, has telegraphed for the
French warship Latouche Trevelle to
return Immediately to the Pireus.
The merchants on Hermess street
have organized private guard to pro-
tect their stores and patrons have been
placed in the streets near the Boule.
The address of the opposition depu-
ties, however, had calming effect
upon the people. A better feeling now
prevails here and there is little proba-
bility now of dynastic crisis.
Crowds last evening stoned the pal
ace, broke its windows, and cried
Down with the king; down with
Prince Constantine give us re-
public"
Some pistols were fired among the
rioters and many officers were mobbed.
The report that the king was COM
PEELED to sign decree recalling Prince
Constantine from the front is un-
founded. The crown prince will re-
main at the head of the army.
The British minister here, E. H.
Egerton, paid a long visit to the king
and the newspapers connect the Incl
dent with the possible Intervention of
Great Britain in the war between Tur-
key and Greece.
