HOWL PREMlERDOWN
Hungarian Parliament Still IN
able to Work

BUDAPEST, Dec. 15-The parliamen-
tary truce has been short lived. The
session OF the lower house of the Hunga-
flan parliament today witnessed a rep
etltlon OF the turbulence which has mark
ed most of the recent sittings The mem
pefS OF the opposition emphatically declin-
ed to recognize the new rules of pro-
ceoure and greeted Premier Tisza's at
tempts to speak with such a storm of in
vectiyes and other noisy Interruptions
that the sitting had to be suspended re-
peatediy. Premier Tisza essayed to speak.
put although prior to the third suspension
OF the sitting he stood for thirty minutes
appealing for a hearing he was finally
forced to desist by the deafening din
caused by an unceasing chorus of ere
sign from the members of the united op-
position. sn
Count Andrassy opened the proceedings,
declaring that he considered the new
rules Illegal and that he declined to rec
ognize such an ..anarchistieal outrage
that was accomplished by their adoption
Nov. IS, but he offered his best endeavors
to secure peaceful settlement of the
critical situation. Francis Kossuth and
Count Apponyi similarly denounced the
new rules as being violations of all par
hamentary usage adding that they
might as well throw the whole constitu-
ton to the winds as recognize the new
rules
When Premier Tisza rose to reply the
upfoar broke out. Count Andrassy Fran
els kossuth and others urged their fol-
lowers to listen to the premier, but their
efforts had little effect Premier Tisza
got in a few sentences declaring that the
systematic obstruction of the opposition
was more serious violation of parlia-
mentary usage than his single violation of
the standing rules. 1t was incumbent on
parliament to stop this obstruction. AT
this point the storm broke out afresh
The deputies rushed across the floor in
great disorder amid which liberal dep
putty was heard to shout obstruction
must be driven out with whips Yells
of rage greeted the threat and continued
until the vice president suspended the
sitting
Shortly after the resumption the sitting
had to be again suspended in consequence
of renewal of the tumuIt. At a third
attempt to continue business the gov
ernment, by majority of seventy-six
managed to carry motion Summoning
Deputy Lengyel to appear before the COM
mHtee ON privilege for disorderly conduct
In the house, but when Premier Tisza
again rose to speak he was once more
howled down, the opposition informing
the premier that he would not be allowed
to speak until the new rules were with
uidWH- Whistles ana mouth organs were
requisitioned and added to the deafening
din oecasioned by the slamming of desks
and the shouting of the deputies, the
whole opposition chanting in chorus ''Re-
sign Resign Resign" Finally the
premier was obliged TO desst and the
sitting was suspended for the third time
AT conference between the Liberal
members of parliament and Premier
Tisza 1t was said that if the opposition
continued it's obstruction tactics an ap-
peal would be taken to the country. The
conference expressed the fullest assent to
the attitude of the premier
1t is stated tonight that the govern
ment has decided to disolve the diet and
that a general election will be ordered,
probably within month. 1t is understood
that Premier Tisza has the decree of dis
solution in his pocket to use when he
thinks fit; but he will make another at
tempt to proceed with business before en-
ploying the writ, as it is uncenstitu-
tional to dissolve the parliament before
presenting the budget to it.
