GREEK CABINET QUITS
RESIGNATION OF PREMIER RALLI
AND HIS COLLEAGUES.
Vote of Confidence Rejected by the
Legislative Assembly by 80 to 30
Other Foreign News.

ATHENS. Sept. 30.-The Greek Cabinet
has resigned. The Boule Legislative as
sembly) met to-day to consider the peace
treaty with Turkey and the political situa-
ton in general. The galleries were crowd
ed and the proceedings were followed with
intense interest. NJ Ralli the premier,
mounted the tribune, and, after reviewing
the events leading up to the beginning of
the peace conditions, invited the chamber to
vote confidence in the government He pro-
posed resolution to that effect. Amid
great excitement the chamber defeated the
resolution by a vote of SO to 80. This defeat
precipitated a crisis. 1t was deemed inn
practicable for NJ. Rail- to continue in Of
flee with the Cabinet as now constituted.
The supporters of Delyannis are large
majority of the chamber, and no Cabinet
could conduct public business without their
approval.
Nj. Rail-, when presenting the preliminary
treaty Of peace, took strong exceptions to
its terms, attributing to Germany all that
had been done against Greece. He declared
that he would not submit a resolution APP
proving the treaty, because it was execu-
tory, and, therefore, did not require APP
prevail, and also because such a step would
be contrary to the sovereign rights of the
state and the crown. M. Delyannis ex-
pressed his approval of this position, but
blamed the government for again asking
q vote of confidence, as this had already
been accorded Therefore, presuming that
the government was actuated by other rea-
sons, NJ. Delyannis said that he would with
hold his support The vote was then taken.
The RallI Cabinet, which was sworn In on
April 30 last is made up as follows: Presi-

the flames in many ways. Water in solid
streams was inenectual, and all other eff
forts failed until a large steam boiler was
brought close to the well. A two-inch pipe
was run from the boiler to the we'll and $50
pounds of steam turned on. This also failed
to put out the gas, and stream of water
in connection with the steam finally extin-
guished the blaze.

Bitter Against Churches and Given
to Discussion of Whiskers.
A band of men and women religious
enthusiasts has been preaching on the
streets of Martinsville, Ind, for sew
eral days and nights past. They say
that the end of this "dispensation" is
coming in a few months and that Mo-
hammedanism will be wiped from the
face of the earth next year. They are
also very bitter against the churches,
and say that all manner of evil is in
them. They are against fashion and
advise extreme simplicity of dress. A
sect called "Cramerites" has grown
up in this community whose doctrine
also is to fight the churches.
The strangers and the "Cramerites,"
having doctrines somewhat similar, met
together the other night and proceeded
to have "love feast" This ended in
dispute on whiskers that lasted until
midnight. The strangers testified how
they had become dead to the world
by burning all the pictures in their
homes, one woman telling that she hao
been relieved of a great burden wher
she burned her mothers photograph
Then one of the strangers, with full
flowing beard, got up and told how hi
had been helped religiously by letting
his whislsers grow to their full length
He said that the Bible commanded al
men not to "mar the corners of thei
beard.'
| George Cramer, the originator of th
church-fghting sect of Martinsville
took exception to this and stated tha
the Jewish laws in the Old Testamen
are not in force now, and that men hav
o right to wear boards as they please
