Athens, Dec. 26.-There was violent
rumpus at the opening of the Boule or

nists. A council Of the ministers that
was specially convened at midnight de-
eided to forestall the Theotokists by
forcing the doors of the chamber. This
was done, and the Theotokists, when they
arrived at o'clock. found Mr. Tsarlem-
has,, a Deliannist, installed as president
and surrounded by several deputies. When
the metropolitan began the customary
prayers a Theotokist deputy arose and
criticized the action of the ministry, de-
claring that it was an insult to the cham
Der. An uproar followed, and several
deputies exchanged blows. Somebody
threw an inkstand across the chamber and
1t fell into the holy water font. The dis
order was Increased by many strangers,
Including women, who were In deputies'
seats, while the public in the galleries
added to the hubbub Of angry cries. A
general panic followed. Ultimately the
withdrawal of the Theotokists under pro-
test restored order. The king then en-
tered and read the speech from the
throne.
