Vienna, Nov. 2G.-When the lover
house of the reichsrath r~eassembled
this afternoon after a forced adjourn
ment Of the morning on of
disturbances. the temperance of
President A~brahamovics was greeted
by a storm Of abuse. slamming of desk
ids, listing, etc. He repeatedly
tried to address the lcftists. but his
voice was inaudible amid the uproar,
the only distinguishable sounds being
leftist cries, out with the police
DR.. Wolff. the German nationalist
leader. as yesterday. contributed prom
inently to the pandemonium. Upon
this occasion he kept on blowing a
shrill whistle. Herr Resell. social
democrat deputy. also whistled shrilly.
In the midst of this uproar President
Abrahamovics opened the session and
twice called Dr.. Wolff to order. As
this had no effect upon the turbulent
German nationalist. the president sus,
pended him for three sittings.
AS Dor as the leftists realized what
had occurred they burst into a state of
,,Ir;I1nI f,,. cl,;.J-f,- ;.,.l.. -. ~.
Ahrahamovics.
Herr Daszynski. socialist deputy,
yelled: You ought to be in Jail"
Other Infatuated deputies shouted all
kinds of invectives. Individual contri-
buttons to the uproar were indistin.
~guishable from the general uproar. In
spite of this disgraceful scene and in.
suits hurled at him, President Abra-
hamovics was apparently unmoved. but
when he recognized it was useless to
make any further attempt to transact
to the police officer near him and sus,
pended the sitting amid %deafening and
vociferous cries Of shame" from the
leftists and applause from the rightists.
The substance of the words spoken
to the police officer by President Abra-
hamovics soon became apparent. for an
officer and four policemen removed DR..
Wolf from the house by force, in spite
of considerable opposition upon the
part of his clique. When the president
re-entered the house he was once more
greeted with a shower of opprobious
~erithets, including cries of criminal"
traitor" get out"
After w~ithstanding the storm for a
period the president again left the
house. but only for a moment, and on
his return he instructed the police to
withdraw, declaring amid a tremen-
dous uproar: II entrust myself to
your care: do as you please: but re,
member this is not a personal ques-
ton. The honor of your chair is at
stake The president called upon
Count Stuergkh to speak, but the tu-
multi continued and the president sus-
pended Herr Daszynski. a socialist
deputy, who had some time previously
shouted that the president should be in
Jail for three sittings. When Herr
Daszynski refused to leave the house
the president summoned the police and
the turbulent deputy was elected from
the building. Subsequently the presi-
dent suspended II more deputies.
Large crowds gathered this evening
about the university and parliament.
owing to the announcement that the
studentsintended to make a demonstra-
ton. This, however. was prevented
by the police. who promptly dispersed
the gatherings. More than 40 arrests
were made.
After Q o'clock the aspect of the
streets became more threatening. An
estimated crowd of 10000. including a
very large number Of students. assem-
bled and threatened the government
with revolution and Count Badeni. pre-
mier, with the guillotine. An attempt
was made to attack Count Badeni's
house. The police repeatedly charged
the crowd. but refrained from using
their arms. The students resisted with
sticks. A few students and some citi-
zens received slight injuries. Not un,
til II O'Clock was quiet restored.
Today's edition OF most OF the even,
ing papers have been coniscated and
the police have freely arrested persons
offering papers for sale in the streets.
A serious riot is reported at Gratz, the
capital city Of Syria. 1t appears that
students and a large body Of workmen
attacked three newspaper offices. doing
some damage. The police, with the as
s%istance Of the troops, have restored
order, and twenty arrests have been
made of the ringleaders.
The workmen took but little part in
the street demonstrations. They in
tend to organize demonstrations on
their own account, which will probably
be more serious in results.
TOWNS DESTROYED.
