constitutional amendment bill has been
thrown out of the chamber Of deputies.
the government being able to muster only
125 votes today out of the 1873 votes
necessary to carry the measure. The

was introduced in the chamber of dep
uties early in December providing that
the sultan may dissolve the parliament
in time of war. This was attacked by
the members Of the opposition, and
stormy scenes have accompanied the
debate. The unionists decided to pro-
woke a dissolution of the chamber at
all costs.
