ject which reconcile these differences.
The radical Czechs who have been hindering the
debate this measure for several days with a
continuous din from drums and tin whistles so
exasperated the Germans this morning that the op-
posing Deputies came TO close quarters and fight
ensued. One Of the radical Czechs named Speczek
captured and whipped until he howled for
mercy. Another Czech bitten by German on
the cheek, and black eyes and sore heads were
numerous. The Premier. Baron Won Bienerth, sus-
pended the session.
The departure Of the ministers was followed hy
another free fight. in which the opposing factions
rushed each other the strains of revolutionary
songs. and confusion Teigned for half an hour.
The Deputies finally became exhausted, and the
battlefield gradually Geyerted.
The sudden closing OF the session and the politl

formed; but if It fails the present officials Will
remain in office and carry urgent business by
