Of the militia should bear in mind and

Abandoned all pretence OF conforming
with the laws. There is nothing left to
the Opposition but 10 protest. We VIII not
allow ourselves 10 be led 10 acts or vio-
lence.
A protest against the prorogation has
become necessary. because no one knows
what the morrow may bring forth. Per
haps the last act I'm this tragic comedy
will be the dissolution OF the House"
CAN'T GET THEIR PAY
Count Andrassy then read compre-
hensive report against the Governments
procedure.
The protest which was presented in
behalf OF the coaitonists. declared that
the continued prorogations OF Parliament
are unconstitutional. because they render
1t impossible 10 impeach the Feteryary
Cabinet. while the coalition, being the
parliamentary majority, should long ago
have been entrusted with the direction OK
the Government. and the existence of the
Fejervary Cabinet was nothing but abso-
lutism.
The resolution further declared the
King Emperor opposed the will OF the
ination, and that the Cabinet crisis had
now become n constitutional one.
Count stephen Tisza. the former
Premier followed with n brief speech.
explaining that he refused to continue the
debate. which he considered nadmiss ble
after Parliament had been prorogued
Then. with his colleagues, the Count left
the hall.
A Socialist Deputy proposed that the
bate continued. but this was ignored and
lCount Andrassy's resolution was adopted
practically unanimously and the House
adjourned.
The prorogation OF Parliament gives a
breathing space OF 10 weeks for further
negotiations between the Crown and
coalition, but the chances for an agree
ment are regarded as slight.
The Coalition appears To be willing To
play a waiting game in the conviction
that the necessities OF the Government
with regard 10 money, recruits ana com
mercial treaties will force the Crown 10
consent TO a settlement.
President Justh OF the lower hou.e yes
tcrday notified the Deputies that he viii be
unable TO pay their quarterly allow
ance, because Parliament had had no
opportunity 10 make the necessary appro-
priations.
