the cabinet.
The new ministers, on the other hand,
are confident of obtaining a working
majority, owing to defections from their
opponents. The city tonight is exceed

Is FOR GREECE, FIRST.
London. April 29.-The Athens cores
pondent of the Times had an interview
that he would use his influence with his
followers not TO hamper the new cabinet,
as the present time was pre-eminently
unsuitable for internal discord. He said
he had declined to offer his resignation,
because to have done so would have
been cowardly. The cabinet desired to
remain in Office, to take all the conse-
uuences of it's acts and TO have an oppor-
tunity to defend its policy.

sion, met second time last evening ana

and cries OF disa oproval from the CALLER
!es.
After the adjournment the premier, N.
Delyarnis, had a long conference with the
kicg and the opposition deputies held
prolonged meeting but the conference
broke up without deciding upon a pro-
gram.
A crowd Of fully 10000 people sur
rounded Parliament House wher the dep
uties assembled and many of the outsid
ers swarmed up the steps and invaded
the vestibules. The throngs there and in
the streets eagerly discussed the eitua-
ton.
RALLI ARRIVES FIRST.
NJ Rail-, the former minister and lead
er Of the opposition, was among the first
of the deputies to arrive He was cheer
ed and accorded various other marks of
sympathy, but the crowd generally main
tanned the sullen demeanor engendered
by the dispiriting news of the past few
days.
The ministers reached Parliament
house ir closed carriages. The crowd
slowly opened a way TO allow them to
pass and respectfully saluted the occu-
pants of the vehicles. The public CALLER
les OF the house were thronged, among
those present being many ladies and
members of the diplomatic corps. When
the president Of the legislative assembly,
NJ. Zai1is. owing to the abserce of quo
rum, declared the sitting closed, the an
nouncement was greeted with eXclama-
tons Of inpatience from the members
Of the opposition and with cries of disap-
proval from the galleries.

rising to his feet, motioned to his sup
porters 10 remain CAIN. His advice was
followed and the deputies filed out of the
house.
The opposition deputies proceeded to a
committee room, where they consulted
upon the failure of the session The fruit
less session was a very great disappoint-
ment to the crowds outside Of the house,
who were waiting to hear the result OF
the deliberations OF the deputies.
The ministerialists declared that ar ex-
traordinary session Of the legislative as
sem5ly was impracticable at this time
Ii was useless 10 hope for a quorum to-
day, as many of the deputies Were with
the army al the front and could not reach
the capital in time to attend.
On the other hand. the members of the
opposition cited the rames OF the support
ers of the government who, although in
Athens last evening. did not attend the
assemblage OF deputies at Parliament
house.
After the sitting Of yesterday the sm-
patient crowds called upon the members
OF the opposition to appear and make
statement. NJ. Palzer. we'll known mem
Der of the opposition party in the legis-
lative assembly, was especially called up
on by the crowds to address them, but
although he was apparently the first
choice of the people. it was NJ. Valletta
who. from the top of the great steps lead
ing into Parliament House, made a speech
60 the people.
TO SATISFY THE MOB.
NJ. Vailetta said in part:
in view OF the desertion OF the govern
ment the chamber and the country look
TO the king 10 do his duty and safeguard
public order. Have confidence in the op-
position. which is watching over the high
est interests Of the country
These words, uttered with great en-
phasis and significance. were greeted
with frantic applause. which was shortly
afterwards renewed on the appearance Of
NJ. Ralh. The crowd gave the popular
leader a tremendous ovation. Six thou
sand people escorted him TO his house.
On arriving there the crowds insisted up
on speech and Nj. Rail- appeared upon
balcony. whence he made a brief speech
in the course OF which ne said:
''The government. by its desertior. has
committed suicide. II is our duty 10
maintain order and show that we are
fighting for our homes"
This sentiment caused the crowds 70
