Several Members Badly Battered in

Parliament Adjourns.

Vienna Feb. 5.-The present session
of the Austrian parliament came to an
end this morning after an extraordin-
ary scene of turbulence between the
Germans and Czechs. The radical
Czech obstructionists, who have been
hinderMg debate for several days with
continuous din from drums and tin
whistles, so exasperated the Germans
this morning that the opposing depu-
ties came to close quarters and a
fierce scrimmage ensued. One of the
radical Czech deputies was captured
and whipped until he howled for mercy.
Another Czech was bitten by Ger
man on the cheek and sustained an
ugly wound. Black eyes and sore heads
were numerous. The premier, seeing
the uselessness of attempting to pass
legislation, closed the session.
The departure of the ministers was
followed by another free fight in which
the opposing factions rushed upon one
another to strains of revolutionary
songs and wild confusion reigned for a
half hour.

puN,s TRADE REVIEW.
Steady Volume Of Payments Thru the
Banks Reported.

New York. Feb. 5.-Dun's review to-
morrow will say: Bank clearings tes-
tify to a steady volume Of payments
thru the banks, somewhat under the
high average of the early months OF
1906, when trade was very active. To-
tai clearings this week at all the lead
ing cities, are s2,946, ,022,000, or 1872 per
cent larger than a year ago, and only
IA less than in the first week of Feb
ruary, 1906.
DISPATCHES to Dun's Review indicate
that progress is somewhat slow. but
well sustained, in all lines Of trade and
industry. One encouraging feature is
the large volume of construction work
contemplated or under contract in most
sections of the country, and plans for
municipal improvements are also ex-
tensive in several directions.

Paris, Feb. 5.-A special dispatch re-

Azef is the Russian who for years
was an active leader of the fighting
Russian socialists. He recently was
denounced as a government spy and
sentenced to death by the organiza-
ton, after which he disappeared.
A local paper declares that Azef
was active in preparing two plots
against the life of the Emperor of Rus
sia. When his fellow conspirators were
arrested Azef retired from the active
fighting circle. He then declared it
was impossible to kill the emperor by
ordinary means such as dagger, a
revolver or bomb, and that he was
going to study out a plan of assassina-
tion in which an aeroplane would play
the principal part.
