INDUCED in Free Fight Herr
Berner Severely Pummeled.
DR.. ABRAHAMOVlCS COMPELLED TO FLEE
and Statesmen Mixed in
t-Fight-Detachme of Police
Called to Preserve Order
Galleries Cleared.

Vienna, Nov. 26.-The disorder in the
lower house of the Reichsrath was so &C.
centnated today that strong detachment
of police had to be called in to preserve
order.
When the president, Dr. Abraham
ovics, entered, he :aas graeted with goclf-
erous shouts of "Get out"
The Leftists rose to their feet in body,
many of the deputies shrieked wildly and
an indescribable tumult followed.
Social Dem ocrat, Herr Berner, made
rush for the president and lively fist
fight followed between Berner and the
house attendants, who attempted to pro-
tect the chair Thereupon another social
Democrat, Herr Resell, jumped upon the
ministerial bench, and hurrying to the
presidents chair, seized the papers on the
presidents desk and tore them to pieces,
while other social Democrats hastened to
Berner's assistance, occupied the tribune
and demanded satisfaction for the attend
ants pummeling of Herr Berner, while
President Abrahamovics was compelled
to fee for his life. Subsequently the so
cial Democrats and the deputies INDUCED
in free fight and Herr Berner was eject
cd from the house.
In the meantime detachment of ten
police arrived and the officer in command
called upon the social Democrats to with
draw from the presidential platform.
They, however, refused to withdraw, and
resisted all attempts of the police to
eject them. They were eventually re-
moved forcibly and singly. The police
then formed Gordon around the tribune.
These """"es were enacted prior to the
formal ming of the house. While the
deputies were fighting and bowling on
the floor of the house tumult arose in
the second gallery, which the attendants
promptly cleared. The authorities then
caused all the lobbies to be filled with |
police, gates we're closed and the building
guarded by strong police force. The
session of tho house meanwhile WAS sus-
pended.

WILD RUMOR FROM AFRICA.
Conflict Between French and British
Forces Said to Have Taken Place
Report Denied By Colonial Office.

London, Nov. 26.-Late in the day a
rumor was received at the British colonial
Office to the effect that there had been a
collision between British and French
forces at Nikkl, which is said to have
been captured by the French troops.
The officials regard the report as highly
improbable, as the British police in Hin
terland had strict orders to avoid any
collision with the French. 1t is also un-
derstood that the French forces had been
INSTRUCTED not to come into conflict with
the British. The British forces in the
HinterlanG, it lie further stated, are being
reinforced considerably.
