Another Ministerial Crisis Is Barely Averted at Athens.
Athens, Oct. 26.--Another cabinet crisis has been narrowly averted. During a debate in the chamber of deputies, a difference of opinion developed between Stephen Dragoumis, minister of finance, and Eleutherios Venizelos, former premier and leader of the majority party.
The debate was on the subject of Turkish properties in Macedonia, which were confiscated after the Balkan war. Heated remarks were exchanged and there were constant interruptions from the government side.
M. Venizelos tartly reminded the government its control of the chamber depended entirely on the votes of his party. The chamber was thrown into confusion and the sitting was suspended.
The cabinet assembled hastily and as a result of its consultation M. Dragoumis made conciliatory explanations, which brought about a settlement of the dispute.
