these ordinances that has caused the
riotous scenes in the lower house of the
relchsrath, which in turn produced

VIENNA, Nov. 29.-Emperor Francis
Joseph addressed an autograph letter
to Count Badeni, decreeing the adjourn
ment of the reichsrath until further
orders. During the assembling of the
reichsrath dense masses of people, for
the most part workmen thronged the
Ring street from the university to the
outer gate Of the Hofberg. A charge
by the mounted police with drawn
swords, failing to disperse them, band
OF hussars cleared the streets at the
point OF bayonets, several persons being
wounded. Two ambulance vans were
sent to attend the wounded. About
10000 people were at the same time in
front of the town hall and the pro-
vincial court to demonstrate in favor of
Herr Wolff, who was to be arraigned
there on charge of public violence
committed Saturday when being re-
moved from the unterhaus by the
police, acting under the orders of Presi-
dent Won Abramovitch.
Suddenly a change came over the
scene. The report spread like wildtiro
that Count Badeni had resigned The
demonstrations ceased almost Instantly
when the news was confirmed by the
police authorities and their subordinates
who announced to the people at various
points that they We're instructed to in
form them Of the cabinets resignation,
Reichsrath Scenes Unparalleled.
The proceedings of the Austrian reich
srath during the last eight weeks have
been marked by obstruction, rowdyism
and violence unparalleled in the hist ory
OF parliamentary government in Eu-
rope. Count Badeni has been endeay-
oring to secure the passage through the
reichsrath of a bill prolonging the
Austro- Hungarian compromise for an
other year. The opposition, while not
necessarily objecting to the extension
of the agreement, declared that it should
never be ratified for any term by the
Badeni cabinet, their object being to
force Count Badeni to retire on its be-
coming evident that he would be unable
to carry measure Of the highest inter-
est to the dual monarchy. He had ex-
pressed himself as confident of being
able to able to force the bill through
before the last day Of this year, the
limit Of the period for passing it. But
the extraordinary incidents of the last
fortnight have forced him to retire in
spite OF the emperor's known desire
that he should retain office.
Selecting Luetgert Jury Slowly.
CHICAGO, Dec. Walter J. Nor
than, one of the two veniremen passed
yesterday in the examination of jurors
to hear the second trial of Adolph L.
Luetgert, was objected to by Attorney
McEwen today. Thomas II. Bachelor,
an insurance solicitor, who was also
passed yesterday, was acceptable to both
sides and will probably serve. Very
little progress was made today. About
dozen yeniremen were examined dur
ing the session, several of them were
challenged for cause, while others were
passed temporarily. The utmost Wig.
ilance is being used on both sides. and
officers under the direction Of Inspector
Setback are carefully investigating the
character of every man who is in any
way likely to become juror in the case.
