May lie Revolution.
| Athens, April 2s.-Popular feeling
points to revolution in favor of re-
public. The citizens are greatly ex-
cited at the revelations made by former
Minister Ralli as to the conduct of the
campaign. Large meetings have been
held in Constitution square and other
places, and fiery harangues have been
delivered by well-known orators in de-
nunciation of "those who would be-
tray Greece" The fall of the ministry
is regarded as certain. Tuesday after
noon 500 men formed themselves into a
volunteer body, forced their way into
the gunsmiths' shops, armed them
selves with rifles and revolvers and
paraded the street in front of M. Rallis
residence. Several deputies addressed
them, exhorting them to remain calm
and to await the progress of events.
Finally they proceeded TO the royal
palace, where, after making a demon
stration, they dispersed without fur
Their disorder. The incident has made
great sensation.
The legislative assembly, in the alb
sence of a quorum, postponed the ex-
traordinary session until ten o'clock
this morning. A majority of deputies
has signed a manifesto exhorting the
people to be calm. Nevertheless, there
are gatherings in various parts of the
city, and especially on the square In
front OF the palace, where M. Ralii and
the other leaders of the opposition are
comforting with the king
King Made the ScapeEoat.
New York, April 2s.-A dispatch to

discomfort is growing, and the king will
be the scapegoat.
The situation In the country, and in
Athens particularly, is growing more and
more serious. The news and truth about
the Larissa campaign which wired are
just becoming known, and cause in all
classes deep feeling of indignation and
sorrow. People go to extremes and de.

There is no doubt the pollrooms lost

ator Vest sprung this subject as soon
as the confirma ations were disposed of.
The time was devoted to a senatorial
discussion of the methods of the modern
newspaper which was more in the ma
ture of fault finding than of criticism
of their accuracy.
The reports were generally compli
mented for the accuracy and majori-
ty of the remarks were devoted to an
effort to explain their appearance. SEN
ator Vest asserted that no one but a
trained newspaper man would give the
proceedings in such detail as sent out by
the Associated Pres. and contended
that an expert must lie employed some
where in the chamber. He complained
quite bitterly of the appearance of such
reports as derogatory to the dignity of
the senate He was followed by Sena-
tors Hale and Hoar in the same strain.
Senator Galinger said that if full re-
ports, such as toGay's, were to be given
cut it will be better to open the doors
and invite the world to be present. SEN
Ator Teller suggested the wisdom, in the
absence of open sessions, of allowing
few selected reporters to be present,
saying that his experience with the pro-
fession was such as to convince him that
they could be depended upon to deal
fairly and honorably with the senate.
Senator Hill did not fail to take advant-
age of the opportunity to point moral
a. being that his motion for open doors
should have lpeen adopted. He said it
was claimed the treaty was an unprece-
dented accomplishment in diplomacy.
Even if this was true, he said, it was also
true that the senate had taken an almost
unprecedented step in making the treaty
itself public. Why not extend the pol
Icy to the extent of having open discus
sion Of it? He, however, refrained from
renewing his motion to this effect. When
Avery one had talked on this point who
manifested disposition to do so, Sen
Ator Morgan was permitted to proceed
with his speech on the treaty as such.
1t is probable the treaty will not be
taken up again before Friday, and posi-
bly, its consideration will not be resumed
this week. Tomorrow will be devoted
to the count of the electoral vote, and

CHICAGO. Feb. 9.-The News Wash

said. Will fore: tall legislation other than
the tariff at the extra session by ap-
pointing only two committees-those on
ways and means and miieage-and re-
serving the appointment of other COM
mittees until the regular session While
the action is nprecedented, members
say it would be legal. as congress has
frequently gone on for weeks before the
speaker announced the committees.
Speaker Reed considers that the extra
session should deal with only two sub
jects-the tariff bill and the milage of
members. Other measures would,
therefore. fall fiat as soon as introduced,
for want of proper reference.
Many members say the course is too
arbitrary even for Car Reed to enter
upon, and smacks of one-man power,
but the speaker intimated long ago to
member of the house. the probability
that he would take such a course.
