The Announcement THAT Badeni Had
Been Succeeded by Baron Gautsch
Serves to Quiet theTurbuIent Masses
After Serious Fighting with Soldiers
Vienna. Nov. 29.-The members of
the Austrian ministry yesterday ten
dered their designations to Emperor
Francis Joseph, who accepted them
and entrusted Baron Gautsch, who
holds the portfolio Of public instruction
in the retiring ministry, with the task
of forming a new cabinet. Yesterday
morning Emperor Francis Joseph adj
dressed an autograph letter to Count
Badeni decreeing the adjournment of
the reichsrath until further orders.
Before the assembling of the reichs-
rath dense masses of people, for the
most part workmen, thronged the
Ringh strasse from the university to
the outer gate of the Hofburg. A
charge by the mounted police with
drawn swords failing to disburse them,
n body of hussars cleared the streets
at the sabres' point, many persons be-
ing wounded. The ambulance society
Immediately sent two vans to attend
the injured.
At least 10000 people gathered about
the same time in front of the town hall
and the provincial criminal court to
demonstrate in favor Of Herr Wolff,
who was to be arraigned there on a
charge Of public violence committed IN
Saturday when being removed from the
unterhaus by the police, acting under
the orders Of President Won Abraham
OWES. The police, with drawn swords,
dispersed them, one mans skull being
fractured and two others being Sc
verely injured. A third ambulance was
sent to that point. simultaneously
meetings of workmen were held in vari
Gus quarters Of the city, but the po-
lice dissolved these, making IL ar
rests.
The streets became more quiet during
the afternoon, but at sunset thousands
reassembled in the Frangen-ring and
the Rathhaus park, where they in
dulged in stormy protests against the
government, the passengers in the
street cars and omnibuses who went by
joining in cries of Down with Badeni."
Suddenly a change came over the
scene. The report spread like Wild
fire hat Count Badeni had resigned.
The demonstrations ceased almost in
stantly when the news was confirmed
by the police authorities and their sub
ordinates, who announced to the people
at various points that they were in
structed to inform them of the cabi-
nets resignation.
Dr. Lueger, the burgomaster of vi
emma, driving through the crowds, an
nounced the resignation from his car
riage, repeating it a little later from
the windows of the town hall, with the
addition that Herr Gautsch a been
appointed to form a cabinet. He ap-
pealed to the people to return to their
homes. The announcement was greeted
with thunders of applause, and an extra
edition of the Wiener zeitung, with an
official statement of the resignation,
still further treasured the p%opulace.
Upwards of 5000 people tried to or
ganize a demonstration in the early
evening in front of the foreign office
building, but this was prevented by
closing the approaches to the palace.
After 8 o'clock the city was quiet. The
Judge of the provincial criminal court
discharged Herr Wolff from custody.
There were demonstrations at Gratz,
Prague and Asch, in Bohemia, but
they were not of a serious character.
It Ia asserted that the emperor at
first declined to accept the resignation
of the cabinet, but Count Badeni re-
piled: your majesty, l cannot take
the responsibility. Bloodshed will re-
suit If I remain in Office" Thereupon
the emperor reluctantly accepted the
resignation.
An order has been issued to the rector
of the University of Vienna declaring
the university closed for two days, and
warning the students that in the event
Of further excuses the university will
remain closed indefinitely. They are
specially cautioned to abstain from
conflicts with the police, who, on their
part, the order announces, will abstain
from again t~respassing upon the uni
versity premises.
