The b0mbardment caused much alarm in
Athens, but the numerous troops kept
order. The Premier narrated the events to
the Chamber of Deputies and declared
the Government would forcibly repress any
opposition, while allowing the mutineers to
rehabilitate themselves. Their Impotence, he
added, was unjustiied while the governmeat
was occupied with reforms. The mutineers
are now displaying the white flag from the
fotilla and the arsenal. There is some ap-
prehension the fotilla may operate elsewhere,
possibly at Crete. The Legislature has sus-
pended it's session.

London, Nov. 1st-The attitude of the
Government towards the constitutional crisis
resembles that OF Lord Rosebery's Cabinet
in 1895, that is, it is regarded as a blessing
in disguise, with this distinction, that the
Government would retain responsibility
through a financial constitutional crisis, which

ly. A parliamentary recess is designed to
afford an interval for interim financial ar
engagements between a rejection of the bud
get and a decision to appeal to the country,
and the tea duties, income tax, and other
revenues would be legalized by conferences
between the King, Mr.. Asquith, and the
leaders of the Opposition. A Propagation is
anticipated at Christmas, and a general cleo
ton after the new year. The Liberals
would thus be enabled to talk about a con-
stitutional crisis after the country is wearied
with the budget. The intensity of the
craftsmanship is indicated by the bitterness Of
Mr.. Frederic Harrison's i%nyective against
tariff reform the old, experienced aristo-
cracy, he says, is being plunged to unknown
expedients at the bidding of a professional
gambler, who promises more money and bet
ter markets. Mr.. Lloyd George has pub
ljshed a letter, urging a comprehensive
scheme for communal purchase of land and
the taxation of bank accounts, for relieving
the burdens of the workers at the expense
of the rich.

moved.
