 Vienna, Nov. 2S-The members Of the Austrian ministry to-day rendered their resignations to Emperor Francis Jo- seph, who accepted them and immedi- ately entrusted Baron Gautsch, who holds the portfolio of public instruction in the retiring ministry, with the task of forming a new cabinet This morn ing the emperor addressed an autograph letter to Count Badeni decreeing the adjournment of the reichsrath until further orders.
 Before the assembling of the reichs- rath dense masses of people, for the most part workmen, thronged the Ring Strasse from the university to the outer gate of the Hofburg. A charge by the mounted police with drawn swords fail ing to disperse them, a body of Hussars cleared the streets at sabres point, many persons being wounded. The am- bulance society immediately sent two vans to attend the injured. At least ten thousand people gathered about the same time in front of the town hall and the provincial criminal court to demon- strate in favor of Herr Wolff, who was to be arTaigned there on the charge of public violence committed yesterday on being removed from the unterhaus by the police acting under the orders of President Won Abrahamovics. The po- lice, with drawn swords, dispersed them, one mans skull being fractured and two others being severely injured. A third ambulance was sent to that point.
 Simultaneously meetings of workmen were held in various quarters of the city, but the police dissolved these, making twelve arrests The streets became more quiet during the after noon, but at sunset thousands reassem- gled in the Frangen-Ring and the Rath- haus park, where they indulged in stormy protests against the govern ment, the passengers in the street cars and omnibuses who went by joining in cries of Down with Badeni!" Sudden ly a change came over the scene. The report spread like wildfire that Count Badeni had resigned. The demonstra- tions ceased almost instantly when the news was confirmed by the police au- thorities and their subordinates who announced to the people at various points that they were Instructed to in- form them of the cabinets resigna- tion.
 Dr. Lueger, the burgomaster of Vien- na, driving through the crowds, an- nounced the resignation from his car riage, repeating it a little later from the windows of the town hall, with the addition that Herr Gautsch had been appointed to form a cabinet. He ap- pealed to the people to return quietly to their homes. His announcement was greeted with thunders of applause, and an extra edition of the Wiener Zeitung with an official statement of the resig- nation still further reassured the popu- lace. Upwards of three thousand peo- pie tried to organize a demonstration in the evening" but this was prevented by the closing of the approaches to the palace.
 Vienna, Nov. 2S-An order has been issued to the rector of the University of Vienna declaring the university clos ed for two days and warning the stu dents that in the event of further ex- cesses the university will remain closed indefinitely. They are specially cau- toned to abstain from conflicts with the police, who in their part the order announces will abstain from again trespassing upon the university grounds.
