rising to his feet, motioned to his sup
porters to remain calm. His advice
was followed and the deputies filed out
of the house. The opposition deputies
preceded to a committee room, where
they consulted upon the failure of the

The ministerialists declare that an
extraordinary session of the legislative
assembly is impracticable at this time.
