Vienna, Nov. 25.-When the lowe
house of the reichsrath assembled today
after adjourning yesterday from tn
scene of unprecedented disorder, all tn
ministers were present and the approac.
10 the presidential tribune was blocked
Goors having been erected since the dis
graceful fighting of yesterday in ant
about the tribune and throughout tht
house.
The entrance Of the president Of tht
chamber, DR.. Abrahamovics, was the sig
nal for loud and ironical salutations
which were followed by vehement Left
ist shouts Of Shame
Dr.. Abrahamovics made an attempt tc
speak, but DR.. Wolff, the German Ma.
iionalist leader, interrupted him by
Shouting:
Some one else must take tho chair,
not this sWindleri
Herr Schoenerer, the leader Of the Sec
ton Of the German opposition, then yell
ed al the top of his voice:
81 demand the right to speak, which /
am entitled to-"
Thereupon DR.. Wolff retorted,
There il no such thing as right in
This house. 1t is trodden under foot"
Ae he unroar @o1I1xua5
svery sign OF increasing, DR.. Abraham
ayics adjourned the house until o'clock
this afternoon amid a storm of ''hur-
zahs' and braves"
The sitting was resumed at $50 O'Clock
Immediately the Leftists commenced a
tremendous ain, IN the middle Of which
the German Centrtst, Herr Falkenhyn,
conceived as happy idea proposal to
cow obstructionists by threatening their
pockets. He moved that for the future,
diso,derly members might be suspended
Tor three days by the president, or for
thirty days by the house, during which
time their allowance should be stopped.
While members refusing to leave the
chamber when requested might be forci-
bly, expelled.
The speech was interrupted with con-
tnuous uproar, Herr Wolff shouting:
Lets pitch the blackguards out"
The president vainly called for order.
Finally Herr Wolff stationed himself di-
rectly in front Of the presidential tri-
bune and began shrill whistle. A num-
Der OF deputies tried to force open the
doors at the front Of the pla tform, while
a party of Czechs endeavored to prevent
them.
When the tumuft was at its height,
Herr Abrahamovics declared that ne ye-
Earded the motion of Herr Falkennyn as
a necessary measure Of self-defense and
called for the voting. The whole Right
at once arose, and the president declared
the motion carried. A number of tlepu-
ries then began ciambering upon the |
presidents platform, whereupon he |,
seized his bell and left the house.
After a short interval ne returned and |
began to address the chamber, but his |
voice was drowned in torrent of Leftist
yells and shouts of get out" and |
shame" Finally, the sitting was sus- |
pended for an hour, at the close of which |
arnounced that 1 accordance with |
wishes in many quarters ne had decided |
- close the sitting, TO open again to- |
morrow.
The scenes, which are regarded rs a |
parliamentary coup d'etat were wit
messed by the British ambassador, Sir !
Horace Rumbold, and by Samuel Glenn
cns Mark Twain), with other noted for
a'gners. The motion OF Count Falken-
nayn, former minister of agriculture.
was carried by means of an evidently
oreconcerted signal between President
ora hamovics and the Rightists, for no
word Of the presidents speech was aud
ible.
This novel proceeding was greeted
wi IN howls and jeers by the obstruction
SITS. For long time Count Badeni, the
premier, stood calm and unmoved. but
when the disorder reached a climax both
he and the president sought safety from
personal violence in flight.
Five Vienna newspapers including
the Neue Freie Presse and the Socialist
Jrgan, AT:blter Zeitung, in addition to
several provincial journals, have been
,omiscated for articles on Wednesdays
Count Badenf had interviews with
Emperor Francis Joseph last night and
his morning. oday's sitting was de-
aged while the carpenters built fences
lrOund the presidents chair. While
his was going on, the assembled men,
'ers indulgen in animated discussions
md jested about the presidential
age"
The leaders Of the opposition met this
vening to decide what steps should De
AIKEN in view of the violation of the /,
onstitution, but no decision was arrived
