Vienna, Nov. 5.-There was another
scene Of wild disorder in the Austrian
reichsrath last night, and the oonfu-
sion lasted all night. The Leftists con-
tinucd to oppose the discussion Of the
bill for %prolonging for a year the Aus
tro-ttungarian compromise. although
the house had adopted a resolution to
debate It. DIR. Lueger, -burgomaster of
Vienna, whom Herr Abrahamovlcz had
invited to speak, was unable to make
himself heard. The Leftists actually
entered the presidents tribune and re
fused to be ousted. DR.. Lueger dis
played a placard inscribed: II claim
the right to speak" This was greeted
by an increased tumult
Two Leftists rose and began to speak
simultaneously. Herr Abrahamovicz
rang the bell repeatedly and called
them to order, but they refused to de-
sist. The confusion had now become
a bedlam. and Herr Abrahamovicz
abruptly suspended the sitting by leav-
ing the chair.
When the sitting was resumed the
uproar was renewed. When DR.. Lueger
made a fresh attempt to speak Herr
Wolff, of the Schoenerer group, began
reading aloud from a newspaper. The
opposing parties fiercely abused each
other, and DIR. Lueger denounced the
Schoenerer group as a pack Of street
boys
The sitting was again suspended,
and yet again resumed, but II was inn
possible for DR. Lueger to get a hear
ing. At 10 o'clock the Leftists were
shouting, believing and reading Jews
paper articles at the top Of their lungs.
The uproar was incessant.
At IL o'clock many Of the members
began shouting together, CLOSE the
sitting" "close the sitting" This was
kept up in a kind of chorus, while
Herr Wolff and others beat time for
them with their desk lids. After a
while the noise subsidized a little, so
that DR.. Lueger could be heard, and
he went on condemning the compro
mise with Hungary because, as he al
legged, the Jew Magyars want to put
their hands into the Czech as well as
the German money bags"
Then, amid great applause from the
Rightists, DIR. Lueger again denounced
the Schroenerer group as "~betrayers of
their country" and in concluding de-
clared that he was opposed to the
compromise because 1t was an unjust
one.
After several attempts to get the
sitting adjourned the uproar was re-
sumed, Herr Wolf banging the lid OF
his desk and several Czech deputies
struggling to wrench 1t from him. The
most supplementary and abusive in
terruptions were exchanged.
Count Badeni, the premier, was pres
ent for part of the time, n was sup
posed to have a decree of adjournment
signed by the emperor in his pocket.
According TO a well informed deputy
the emperor said early in the morn
ing:
Il won't be dictated to by %Schoenerer
and Wolff"
The deputy understands this to mean
that Count Badeni would not be al=
lowed to resign whatever turn events
might take.
While the German Nationalist were
holding a meeting here last evening a
body OF Christian Socialists who were
present raised a disturbance. A hand
to hand fight ensued, the meeting was
broken up in great disorder, and it re-
quired a large force of police to clear
the hall Of the Infatuated combatants.
