THE ROWDY REICHSRATH
Austria's Lawmakers in Another
Scene Of Wild Disorder.
THE POL1OBPoROB CALLED UPON.

bcrs and Adjourn the sitting.
Vienna, Nov. 26-The disorder in the
lower house Of the reichsrath was so
accumulated yesterday that a strong de-
tachment Of police had to be called in
in to preserve order.
When the president Of the house, DR..
Abrahamovics, entered he was greeted
with vociferous shouts of Get out"
The Leftists rose to their feet in a
body, many of the deputies shrieked
wildly and an indescribable tumult fol-
lowed.
During the tumult a Social Democrat,
Herr Berner, made a rush for the presi-
dent. and a lively fist fight followed be-
tween Berner and the house attendants,
who attempted to protect the chair.
Thereupon another Social Democrat,
Herr Resell, jumped upon the minis
terial bench, and h|urrying to the presi-
Dental chair seized the papers which
We're lying on the presidents desk and
tore them to pieces, while other Social
Democrats FASTENED to Herr Berner's
assistance, occupied the tribune and
demanded satisfaction for the attend
ants pummeling of Herr Berner.
President Abrahamovics was compelled
to flee.
Subsequently the Social Democrats
and other deputies INDUCED in a free
fight and Herr Berner was elected from
the house..
In the meantime a detachment Of 10
police arrived in the house, and the
officer in m called upon the
Social Democrats to withdraw from the
presidential platform. They resisted the
attempts of the police to eject them,
but were eventually removed forcibly
and singly. The police then made a
Gordon our the tribune.
While the deputies were fighting and
bowling on the floor of the house a
tumult arose in the second gallery,
which the attendants promptly cleared.
The authorities then caused all the lob
bies of the house to be filed with police,
the gates were closed and the building
was guarded by a strong police force.
When the house reassembled after the
forced adjournment the temperance
of President A~brahamovics was greet
ed by a storm Of abuse, the slamming
of desk lids, whistling, etc. He repeat
eddy tried to address the Leftists, but
his voice was inaudible amid the up
roar.
DR.. Wolff, the German Nationalist
leader, contributed prominently to the
pandemonium by blowing a shrill
whistle. Herr Resell, the Social Demo-
crat, also INDUCED in shrill whistling.
In the midst of his uproar President
Abrahamovics opened the sitting, and
twice called DR., Wolff to order. As
this had no effect upon the turbulent
German Nationalist, the president
suspended him for three sittiugs.
SO soon as the Leftists realized what
had occurred they burst out into a state
of u%nhridled fury, shrieking insults
at DR.. Abrahamovics. Herr Daszynski,
a Socialist deputy, yelled; You ought
to be in jail"
Other Infatuated deputies shouted all
kinds of invectives, but individual con-
tributions to the uproar were indistin-
guishable amid the general bowling
from all parts Of the house.
In spite of this isgraceful scene and
the insults hurled at him, President
Abrahamovics was apparently unmov-
ed, but when he recognized that ii
was useless to make any further at
tempt to transact business he instruct
ed the police to remove Dr. Wolff. This
was done, in spite of considerable
physical opposition upon the part OF
VOLTS clique,
When the president again re-entered
the house he was once more greeted
with a shower Of opprobrious epithets,
including cries Of criminal" traitor
get out" After ~withstanding this
storm for a period the president agS8n
left the house, but only for a moment,
and on his return he instructed the po-
lice to withdraw, declaring amid a
tremendous uproar:
Il eutrust myself to your care; 10 as
you please. But remember, this is no
personal question. The honor of your
chair is at stake"
The president then called upon Count
Stuergkh TO speak, but the tumult con-
tinued, and the president suspended
Herr D%aszynsli 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. Subsequent
ly the president suspended II other dep
uties.
The scenes throughout the sitting af-
terward We're as disorderly as those Of
the earlier parts Of the day, and the
house adjourned until today.
The days proceedings exhausted
Herr A-brahamovics both physically
and mentally, and he was obliged t
abandon the struggle when it was a
its height. DR., Kramer, the vice presi
dent, a young Czech, considerably tn
, junior of Herr ~Abrahamovics, followe,
> him, but he succeeded no better IN hi
attempts to dominate the disorders.
Last night the aspects of the street
. became threatening. 1t is estimate,
that a crowd Of 10000, including a yer,
! large number of students, ASSEMBLIES
