j.urment of the Sitting Forced by the
Disorder
Vienna, November 2s.-The disorder
in the lower house OF the reichsrath
was SO accumulated today that a strong
detachment Of police had to be cal;ed
in to preserve order. When the pr..si-
dent Of the house, DR.. AbrabamovIcs.
entered he was greeted with vocifcr-
ous shouts Of Get out" The leftists
rose in a body. many of the deputies
shrieked wildly and an indescribie tu-
multi followed. During the tumult. a
social democrat, Herr Berner, made a
rush for the president n a lively fist
fight followed between Berner and the
house attendants who attempted to pro-
tect the chair. T~hereupon nother
social democrat, Herr Resell, jumped
upon the ministerial bench and, hurry
ing to the presidential chair, seized the
papers which were lying on the presi-
dents desk and tore them to pieces,
while other social democrats hastened
~ AL0li 4 . oNSopi>o
the tribune and demanded satisfaction
for the attendants punmeling Of Herr
Berner. President Abrahamovics was
compelled to flee.
Subsequently the social democrats
n other deputies INDUCED in a free
from the house. In the meantime a
detachment of seventy police arrived in
the house and the officer in command
called upon the social democrats to
Withdraw from the presidential plat
form. They refused to Id and
resisted the attempts Of the police to
eject them. They were eventually re-
moved forcibly and singly. The police
then made a Gordon around the tri-
bune. These scenes were enacted prior
to the formal opening of the house.
While the deputies were fighting and
bowling on the floor Of the house, a
tumult arose in the second gallery,
which the attendants promptly cleared.
The authorities then caused all the
Hobbies of the house to be filled with
police. the gates were closed and the
building was guarded by a strong po-
lice force. The session of the house, in
the meanwhile was suspended.
When the hour for the reichsrath to
assemble this afternoon came, after a
forced adjournment Of the morning
session, the temperance OF President
AbrahamoVics was greeted by a storm
of abuse, the SlamTning Of desk lids,
whistling, etc. He repeatedly tried to
address the ~leftists, but his voice was
%inaudible amid the uprOar, the only
articulate ounds distinguishable be-
ing cries from the ~leftists of Out with
, the police"
DIR. Wolff, the German nationalist,
! leader, yesterday, contributed promi-
| nently to the pandemOniurn. UpOn this
! occasion he kept blowing a shrill Whis-
| tie. Herr Resell, the social democrat
deputy who took such a prominent
| part in the disturbances this morning
| also INDUCED this afternoon in shrill
Whistling.
In the midst of this proar Presi-
dent Abarahamovics opened the sitting
! and twice called DR.. Wolff to order.
! AS this had no effect upon the turbu-
. lent German nationalist, the president
SUSPENDED him for three sittings. AS
soon as the ~leftists realized what had
occurred, they hustled into a state Of
unbridled fury, shrieking insults at DR..
A~brahamovics. Herr Daszynski, a So
| cialist deputy, yelled: You ought to
be in jail" Other Infatuated deputies

dividual contributions to the uproar
were indistinguishable amid the gener-
, al bowling from all parts of the house.
In spite of this disgraceful scene, and
the insults hurled at him, President
Abrahamovics was apparently unmoV-
: ed, but when he realized that it was
useless to make any further attempts
to transact business, he quietly spoke a
few words to a police officer near him
--1 49, + r mi 40 ON
ing and vociferous cries Of Shame"
from the leftists and applause from
the rightists. The substance of the
words spoken to the police officer by
President AbrahamovicS soon became
apparent, for an officer and four police
men removed DR.. Wolff from the house
by force in spite of considerable phys
ical opposition Upon the part Of his
slique.
When the president again ~re-entered
the house he was once more greeted
with a shower Of oppprobrious epithets.
including cries of Criminal" "Trai-
tor" Get out" After withstanding
this storm for a period the president
again left the house, but only for a
moment, and on his return, he in
structed the police to withdraw, de-
claring amid a tremendous uproar: L
entrust myself to your care; do as you
please. But remember this is no per-
sonal question. The honor Of your
chair is at stake" The president called
upon Count Stuergkh to speak but the
tumult continued and the president
suspended Herr D~aszynski, the social
list deputy who had some time previ-
ously shouted that the president hould
be in Jail, for three sittings.
When Herr Daszynski refused to
leave the house, the president
ed the police and the turbulent deputy
was elected from the building. Subse-
quently the president suspended eleven
other deputies.
The scenes throughout the sitting af-
forwards were as d~isorderly as those
of the earlier parts of the day n the
house finally adjourned until tomorrow.
