VIENNA, Nov. 2s.-The return to this city Of
Emperor Francis Joseph from Walsee, where no
was visiting his daughter, has been imme-
diately followed by two steps which have in
view the ending of the Parliamentary pande-
monium and tho solving of the Government
deadlock. Tho first stop was the publication
this morning Of an imperial letter to Count
Badeni, tho Primo Minister, declaring tho
Roichsrath adjourned. The second step was an
announcement made at o'clock this afternoon
from the steps of tho Parliament building. by
Dr. Luegcr, tho wellknown Anti.Semite leader
in tho Rcichsrath and Burgomaster OF Vienna,
who shouted to the crowd In front Of tho build.
ing: "Badeni has just given his resignation.
Tho peoples will is fulfilled"
Tho people were jubilant when they heard Of
the retirement of tho Prime Minister, and they
gave vent to their feelings by waving their
hats and shouting "Hoch,' DR.. LueRer had an
audience with the Emperor. who told him Of
Count Baden's resignation and OF his accept
ance OF it.

The news of the resignation Of the Prime Min
lister kept the Ringstrasso crowded until late
this evening, the Socialist workmen and Ger

Immediately illuminated.
In Vienna the morning brought n renewal Of
yesterdays turmoil. A crowd of students
assembled outside the House Of Detention,
where Herr Wolif, tho refractory member OF the
Reichsrath, was confined and shouted encour-
agement to him. At the same time q crowd OF
workmen gathered in front Of the Parliament
building. shouting Down with Badenll" The
police charged both crowds and in the melee
that followed many porsons were injured. Three
ambulances from the Society for Succor Of the
Wounded in War Time were kept busy in at
tending to the injured.
BY noon there was q crowd of from 10000 to
10000 persons In the streets, who refused to dis
perse despite tho fact that many arrests were
made. Eventually tho mounted police anu n
regiment of Hussars swept down upon the
crowd some Of the members OF which fed with
all speed from beneath the hoofs Of the advanc-
ing horses.
There were many hand-tohand fights between
those who remained and the police and soldiers.
The foot police however. were the only officers
who drew their sabres, with which they slsshed
right and left into the mob, many Of which wero
wounded.
ChevaIier Won Abrahamovicz. President of tho
Reichsrath. while returning to his homo In his
carriage, was recognized by tho mob. He was
insulted and pelted with mud and stones. Mat
ters remained In this threatening condition un-
til DR.. Lueger announced that Count Badeni
had resigned. F-N
Dr. Woln was afterward liberated from tho
House Of Detention, but his prosecution has not
been withdrawn. The Reichsrath will be con-
voked shortly to vote on the eAustria.Hungarian
compromise and other urgent business. Baron
Gautsch is now forming provisional Cabinet.
A definitive Ministry will be formed later.
Baron Gautsch is of German nationality. His
views arc moderate and conciliatory, and he is
popular.
Tho audience that Count Goluchowski. the
imperial Foreign Minister, had with the EN-
peror yesterday 10 believed 30 have infiu.
enced his Majesty's decision to accept the res
ignation of Count Badcni. Bad news from the
provinces and the state of feeling in Vienna
also helped him to the conclusion that 1t would
be better for Count Badeni to go.
1t Is now seen that Count Badeni was mis-
taken in estimating the effect of the promulga-
tion Of the language decree.
He was unwilling to recede from the position
he had taken, as by doing SO he would merely
have placed himself in antagonism to the CZechs
instead of tho Germans.
Nobody is sure of what the next development
in the situation will be. The most plausible
view ia that the Austra-Hungarian compro-
mise will be voted. and then nothing will stand
in tho way OF the dissolution of the Reichsrath.
