Manner The End Not Yet,
Vienna. Nov. 26.-The disorder in the
,owar house of the Reichsrath was SO
accentuated to-day that a strong oe-
tachment of police had to be called IN 10
preserve order.
when the President of the house, Df:
Ahrahamoyics entered he was gEeeteu
with yocferous shouts of get out. nc
Iaftists rose in a body, many OF the
dan,,fies shrieked wildly and an inde-
seribable tumult followed.
During the tumult, Social Demo-
between Berner and the house attenu-
crat, Herr Berner, made rush lor 9iie
President and a lively fist hgnt Ioiio"eu
ants who attempted to protect the eAall
Thereupon another Soclai De1iocIa.'
Herr Resell, jumped upon the minlsaeI
;aI bench and hurrying to the president

living ON the Presidents desk and tore
sham to pieces, while other Social Dem
ocrats hastened to Herr Berner's assist
anee. occupied the tribune and demanded
satisfaction for the attendants pum-
melting of Herr Berner. President
Abrahamoyics was compelled to hee.
subsequently the Social Democrats
and other deputies INDUCED in free
fght and Herr Berner was elected from
the house. -
In the meantime detachment OF
seventy police arrived IN the house ana
the officer in command called upon tue
Social Democrats to withdraw from the
nresjdential platform. They refused to
r-;thdraw and resisted the attempts of
tho nolice to eject them. They were
eventually removed forcibly and sing
". The police then made Gordon a /
round the tribune.
These scenes were enacted prior to the |
formal opening of the house.
While the deputies were lighting and
hovling on the floor of the house, 4
tumult rose in the second gallery, which
the attendants promptly cleared.
he authorities then caused all the lob
hies of the house to be filled with police,
the gates were closed and the building
was guarded by strong police fierce.
The session of the house, IN the mean
while, was suspended.
When the lower house Of the Reichs-1
rath re-assembled this afternoon, after
the forced adjournment of the morning,
the re-appearanee of President Abra-
hamoyics was greeted by a storm of
abuse. the slamming of desk lids, whist
ling. etc. He repeatedly tried to address.
the Leftists but his voice was inaudible
amid the uproar, the only arficulate
sounds distinguishable being cries from
the Leftists of 'out with the police"
DR.. Wolff, the German Nationalist
leader, as yesterday, contributed prom
inently to the pandemonium. Upon this
occasion he kept blowing a shrill whis-
tie. Herr Resell the Social Democratic
deputy who took such a prominent part
OF, a. N M IN.
dulged this afternoon in shrill whistling.
In the midst Of this 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 sittings.
AS soon as the Leftists realized what
had occurred, they burst out into state
Of unbridied fury, shrieking insults at
DIR. Abrahamovics. Herr Daszynski,
Socialist deputy, yelled:
"You ought to be in jail
Other infuriated deputies shouted all
kinds of invectives but individual con-
fributions to the uproar were indlstin-
erishable amid the general bowling from
all parts of the house.
In spite Of this disgraceful scene, and
the insults hurled at him, President
Abrahamovics was apparently unmoved,
but when he recognized that it was use-
less to make any further attempts to
transact business, he quietly spoke few
words to a police officer near him and
suspended the sitting amid deafening and
vociferous cries Of shame from the Left
lists and applause from the Rightists.
The substance of the words spoken to
the police officer by President Abra-
hamovics soon became apparent, for an
officer and four policemen removed DR..
Wolff from the house by force in spite
OF considerable physical opposition upon
the part of his clique.
When the President again re-entered
the house he was once more greeted with
q shower of opprobrious epithets, in
Guiding cries of criminal" TRAITOR"
'.get out" Notwithstanding the storm
for period the President again left
the house, but only for a moment, and
on his return he instructed the police to
withdraw, declaring amid tremen-
dous uproar: II entrust myself to your
care; do as you please. But remember
this Ia no personal question. The honor
Of your chair is at stake"
The President called upon Count
Steurgkh to speak but the tumult con-
tinued and the President suspended
Herr Daszynski, the Socialist deputy,
who had some time previously shouted
that the President should be In jail, for
three sittings. When Herr Daszynski
refused to leave the house, the Pres,-
dent summoned the police and the tur-
