When the legislative assembly was ad-
| 1ourned last night for lack OF quorum the
impatient crowds outside the Parliament
House called on the members of the op-
position TO appear and make a statement.
Nj. Palser. a well-known member OF the
opposition party in the assembly, was es-
| pecially called on by the crowds 10 address
| them; but although he was apparently the
| first choice OF the people IL was Nj. Naletta,
who; from the top OF the great steps lead

| to the people. NJ. Valetta said in part: I'm
view CT the desertion of the government.

| King to do his duty and safeguard public
| order. Have confidence in the opposition,
| which is watching over the highest inter-
| ests of the country.
These words. uttered with great emphasis
| and significance, were greeted with frantic
| applause which was shortly afterward re-
newed upon the appearance of Nj. Ralli.
| The crowd gave the popular leader a tre-
mendous ovation. Six thousand people es-
| corted him 10 his home. On arriving there
| crowds insisted upon speech and Nj.

duty to maintain order and show that we

| sentiment caused the crowds TO burst out
| into loud cheering after which the people
| slowly dispersed to their homes.
| To-night's session Of the Legislative As
sembly was attended by only forty depu-
