VIENNA, Nov. 26.-The revolution in the
lower house of the Reichsrath continued
other day. Pandemonium reigned supreme
for hours. Although the revolution so far
has been bloodless-that is, no serious casu-
alties have occurred-there has been much
fighting. Members have smashed each 9TH
ers noses, blackened each others eyes,
pummeled each other with fists, thrown
books, paper weights and inkstands about
the chamber with great recklessness, drawn
knives, challenged each other to fight duels,
called one another liars, criminals, thieves.
traitors and all manner of vile epithets,
and German and Czech were seen strug-
Cling about the room, each with a hand
fastened in the others whiskers.
There was strong force of police in the
house to-day TO preserve order This morn
ing when the president DR.. Abrahamoyics,
entered the chamber, he was greeted with
vociferous shouts of Get out'' The Left
| lists rose to their feet in body; many of
| the deputies shrieked wildly and inde-
scribable tumult followed. In the midst of
| the riot a Social Democrat, Herr Berner,
made rush for the president, and a lively
| fist fight followed between Berner and the
| house attendants, who attempted to pro-
tect the chair. Thereupon another Social
| Democrat, Herr. Resell, jumped upon the
| ministerial bench, and hurrying to the pres
| idential chair, seized the papers which were
! lying on the presidents desk and tore them
| to pieces, while other Social Democrats
hastened to Herr Berner's assistance, oc-
| cupied the tribune and demanded satisfac-
ton for the attendants pummeling of Herr
Berner President Abrahamovics was COM
PEELED to flee. Subsequently the Social DEM
ocrats and other deputies INDUCED in free
| fight, and Herr Berner was elected from
| the house.
GALLERY CLEARED.
| In the meantime detachment OF seventy
! police arrived in the house, and an officer
| in command called on the Social Democrats
to withdraw from the presidential platform.
| They, however, refused to withdraw, and re-
| sisted the attempts of the police to eject
| them. They were eventually removed forci-
| bly, and singly. The police then made a
| Gordon around the tribune. 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 tumult arose in the second gallery,
| which the attendants promptly cleared.
| The authorities then caused all the lobbies
| of the house to be filled with police, the
! gates were closed and the building was
| sion of the house in the meanwhile was
| suspended. tn
When the house reassembled this after
noon the temperance of President Abra-
| hamovics was greeted by storm of abuse,
| the slammng of desk lids whistling, etc.
| He repeatedly tried to address the Leftists,
| but his voice was inaudible amid the up
roar. the only articulate sounds distinguish
| able being cries from the Leftists of "Out
! with the police!' DR.. Wolff, the German
| Nationalist leader, as on yesterday, con-
| tributed prominently to the pandemonium.
| On this occasion he kept blowing a shrill
whistle. Herr Resell, the Social Democrat
| deputy, who took such prominent part in
the disturbances this morning, also INDUCED
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 on the turbulent German National
! ist, the president suspended him for three
| sttings So soon as the Leftists realized
what had occurred they burst out into a
| state of unbridled fury shrieking insults at
Dr. Abrahamovics. Herr Daszynski So
cialist deputy, yelled: ''You ought to be
in jail
A DISGRACEFUL SCENE.
Other infuriated deputies shouted all
| kinds Of invectives, but individual con-
| tributions to the uproar were indistinguish
| able amid the general bowling from all parts
| of the house In spite of this disgraceful
scene and the insults hurled at him, Presi-
| dent Abrahamovics was apparently un-
| moved but when he recognized that 1t was
| useless to make any further attempt to
| transact business he quietly spoke a few
words TO a police officer near him, and sus-
| pended the sitting, amid deafenng and vo-
ciferous cries of "Shame!' from the Left
| lists and applause from the Rightfsts. The
| substance of the words spoken to the police
officer by President Abrahamovics soon be-
| came apparent for an officer and four po-
! icemen removed DR.. Wolff from the house
by force, in spite of considerable physical
opposition on the part of his clique.
When the president again re-entered the
| house he was once more greeted with
shower of opprohrious epithets, including
cries of "Criminal!' "Traitorr' Get out!'
After withstanding this storm for period,
| the president again left the house, but only
| for a moment, and, on his return, he in
| structed the police to withdraw, declaring,
amid a tremendous uproar: Il intrust my
self to your care; do as you please. But
remember this is no personal question. The
! honor of your chair is at stake" The pres
| ident called on Count Stuergkh to speak,
but the tumult continued. and the president
suspended Herr Daszynsh, the Socialist
| deputy who had some time previously
shouted that the president should be in Jail,
for three sittings. When Daszynski refused
| to leave the house the president summoned
| the police and the turbulent deputy was
| elected from the building. Subsequently
the president suspended eleven other depu-
| ties
The names of the members Suspended
were Schoenerer, Seriner, Rieger, Resell,
| Kosakiewicz, Schrammel. Weller, Lingr,
Verkauf, Hybes and Bener. The scenes
throughout the sitting afterwards We're as
| disorderly as those of the earlier parts of
the day and the house finally adjourned
till tomorrow.
Large crowds gathered this evening about
the university building and the Parliament
house, owing to an announcement that the
students intended to make a demonstration.
This, however. was prevented by the police,
who promptly dispersed the gatherings.
More than forty arrests were made. There
was no violent resistance. Thus far order
! has been preserved.
