sitIon as a parliamentary Coup
D'Etat.
Berlin, Nov. 2S.-The stormy scenes
which We're enacted yesterday were re-
newed in the Reichstag to-day, and at
one point in the proceedings the up
roar reached such a pitch that Vice
President Buising, who was in the
chair, had to resort to suspension of
the sitting, a measure without prece-
dent in the Reichstag.
The house was discussing the motion
| of Baron Won Kardorff, representing
the majority parties, to vote the Sec
| ond reading of the tariff bill as whole
without paragraph discussion as con-
templated by the rules. The. minority
would thus be unable to long delay the
| final vote and were furiously indignant
| at what they called parliamentary
| coup d'etat," and the complete suppress
sion of the rights of the minority.
! After quiet afternoon, DR.. Bachen,
center party took the tribune and de-
scribing the dilatory tactics of the op-
position, said that the Freisinnige ver-
einigung and the moderate radicals
We're doing hod-carriers service for the
socialists, adding:
IF you only knew what has recently
been said about this alliance
Herr Bachem left the sentence unfin-
ished and the socialists shouted ''out
with it, name your man."
The socialists Stadthagen, Ulrich,
Baudert, and other members Of the
party rushed up the steps Of the
speakers tribune shouting and gesticu-
lating violently. Herr Gothein, radical,
standing at the top of the steps of the
tribute. tried to keep the socialists
back. He was hurled down the stairs
and his voice and the vigorous ringing
of the presidents bell were drowned in
the tumult.
The socialist member Reisshaus re-
newed the demand that Herr Bachem
should complete his sentence. The
speaker was twice called to order, but
after some minutes of disorder Vice
| President Buesing succeeded in quiet
ing the uproar sufficiently to say: mo
member can be compelled to say what
he does not want to say" Thereupon
the tumult was renewed and the mem
bers of the socialist party again storm
ed the presidents tribune, shouting.
Some among them addressing Herr
Bachem cried: You rascal, you dog"
/ Vice President Buising finding him
! self powerless in the fact of the tumult
suspended the session for half an hour
! Upon the resumption of the sitting at
/ I o'clock, Vice President Buising ex-
pressed his profound regret at the out
rageous scenes of disorder which had
! occurred in the reichstag for the first
| time in it's history He admonished
! the members to exercise control over
! themselves and asked them to vacate
! the place in front of the presidents 6
/ chair, including the tribune steps, which
| We're thickly crowded. Herr Bachem
| then attempted to resume his speech,
but the socialists raised such an uproar
| that he had to discontinue. Herr Singer
| then took the floor and said that Herr
! Bachem had insulted most deeply the
socialist party. He was struck, contin-
ued the speaker, from an ambush, and
, he could name the man to whom he had
| alluded. Herr Bachem replied that af-
| ter such treatment he would decline tc
| do so.
The house then adjourned on the mo-
| tion of the conservatives.
Berlin, Nov. 2S.-The liberal papers
to-day discussing yesterdays proceed
| ings in the reichstag, emphasize the
| gravity of Baron Won Kardorff's pro-
posal to pass the tariff bill without any
discussion of the details. Even the min.
isterial National zeitung, the chief or
gan of the national liberal party, says:
"It is a parliamentary coup d'etat,'
and expresses amazement and indigna-
| tion to find the names of the national
liberal leaders, Basserman, Paaschee
and sattler, attached to Baron Won Kor-
| doff's motion.
