VIENNA, Oct. 2S.-1he Reichsrath has
had another stormy night session. The
leaders of the German parties protested
against the policy adopted on the sugges-
tion of DR.. Kramerez, the acting Presi-
DEM, of discussing motions for the i'm
peachment of the Ministry at the morn
ing sessions and of Gevoting the evenings
to the bill for the extension of the COM
promise with Hungary Tor a year. They
protested against it as a violation of the
standing orders of the House and of the
Austrian constitution and amid loud ap-
Dlause from the Left and the Socialists
they declared that they would con tinue TO
resist with all their might the decree au-
thorZing the official use of the Czech lam
guage in Bohemia.
The Vice-President declined to allow a
motion for the impeachment of the Cabi-
net with reference to the renewal of the
sugar bounty law and called upon the
House to proceed to discuss the compro-
mise bill.
This provoked an angry tumult, rem
dering debate impossible. The Vice.
President suspended the sitting for fen
minutes. When ii was resumed Herr
Lucker tried to address the Cham ber, but
Herr Wolf, the German Liberal, clamored
for vote on the motion 10 close the
sitting, and, being ignored by the Vice.
President, began TO thump his desk
violently with a ruler. This chaotic
state of things continued for half an hour
when Herr Wolff declared that, as the
| Vice President refused to hear him, he
would proceed without permission. The
| result was that Herr Lucker and Herr
Wolff were speaking simultaneously, the
| former almost inaudibly and the latter at
the top OF his lungs. Finally Herr Lucker
on condition that il The House rejected
| the motion he should be allowed to con-
tinue his speech. The vote was taken and
the motion TO close the session rejected.
Hsrr Lucker resumed his speech and he
was still speaking at 1 O'clock this
morning.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, CAL, Oct
2S.-Another complication has arisen in
the case Of murderer 10 eph ]. Ebanks.
This afternoon Sheriff Jennings of San
Diego County came to the penitentiary
with an order from Judge Terrence for
the prisoners return for the purpose of
resentencing the condemned murderer.
Sheriff Jennings saw Acting Warden
J. G. Edgar and made a formal demand
on him for the murderer, and Captain
Edgar fatty refused TO deliver him up,
stating that he was citing under the in
structions of the Attorney General, con-
sequentiy he was bound to recognize
them as higher authority.
Sheriff Jennings could do nothing,
so with the deputy he had brought
along with him to escort Epanks back
10 the scene OF his crime, he left the
prison and returned TO San Francisco,
whence he will return to San Diego.
With every complication that crops up
the case of Ebanks becomes more inter-
esting, and the prospect for clash be-
tween the State and Federal courts in
regard TO the murderer is apparent. Since
Captain EIgar refused to hang Ebanks
because OF The appeal to the higher court
the San Diego officials have been making
things decidedly warm. Only a short
time ago Judge Terrence issued a citation
for Acting Warden Edgar 10 appear be-
fore him On November 2 to show cause
why he should not be punished for con-
tempt for not hanging Ebanks on October
as ne had ordered. 1t will be remem-
bered that Ebanks execution was post
poned from 10 80 o'clock until 2 in the
afternoon and that in the meantime At
torney Eugene Deuprey made an appllca-
ton to the United States courts for writ
OF habeas corpus, which was denied. He
then appealed 10 the United Stvtes Su-
preme Court, thus securing u stay of
execution and saving the murderer's
neck from the gallows.
1t was believed that the prison author
lilies would allow the San Diego Sheriff TO
take the murderer back 10 San Diego,
where I'D Torrence would reseutence
him, then Ebanks would be brought back
to the prison and the Warde would again
refuse to hang hin and be cited Tor con-
tempt. Where this would end is q ques-
ZION, but all was spoiled by Captain
Edgar's fiat refusal 10 allow the prisoner
to be taken from the penitentiary.
Just what action the San Diego authori.
ties will take in regard to the latest sur
prise in Ebanks' case is a matter of specu-
latlon, but ii is believed that aaothe rcita-
tion for contempt against Acting Warden
Edgar, the innocent cause of all the
trouble which would have fallen upon
Warden Hale if he had not gone East,
will be issued.

SANTA ROSA Girl
BRUTALLY ASSAILED
Choked by a Ruffian While on
Her Way Home Just
After Dark.
Herself and Escapes-No Clew to
the SCoundreI.
Special Dispatch to THE CALI.

SANTA ROSA, Oct 2S.-A dastardly
attempt was made here just after dark
this evening to abduct May Kearns the
pretty 15-year-old daughter of J. J.
Kearns, a weIl-known business man of this
city. The young lady had been downtown
shopping and was returning home with
her purchases when short, heavy-set
man stepped out from behind fence in
streets and, seizing her by the throat,
choked her almost into insensibiIity.
After desperate struggle with the ruff
fan the girl managed to free herself from
his grasp and started to run across the
street to the residence of NJ. Doyle, presi-
dent of the Exchange Bank, screaming all
the while at the top of her voice. The
villain pursued her TO the gate, and lust
as she dashed in kicked her with brutal
force in the side, almost disa bling the ter
ri6ed girl. Her screams had attracted
the attention OF the Doyle family, who
appeared at the door at this iuncture, and
the baffied brute skunk away in the dark
ness.
The affair has created the greatest ex
element here and officers are searching
everywhere for a possible clew as to the
villains identity. Owing to the darkness
the girl is unable to give any definite de.
scription of her assailant. The affair Is
undoubtedly the work OF tie same indi-
vidual who on Tuesday evening atte m pied

near the same place. On this occasion
when The lady failed to obey his orders to
remain quiet the fellow struck her ter
rifle blow in the face and disappeared
down side street. Though every effort
was made at the time to secure some pos
sibie identified ion of the man, il was i'm
possible. owing to the ladys excitement
at the time, for her to be oil any practical
assistance to the officers.
For the past few weeks a number of
