The uproar began as soon as Count
Stephen Tisza, the President of the
Lower House, entered the chamber.
He was received with cries of deris-
ion and abuse mingled with Kissing
and whistling. The President calmly
took his seat, treating the Opposition
oGtburst with Indifference but all his
efforts to restore order were unavail-
ing. His calls for attention only caused
the disorder to break out with re-
newel violence. Not II word could be
heard in the chamber or in the press
gallery, owing to the organized, ear
splitting din. The royal decree OPEN
ing the session was read without any
body hearing word of it and it was
followed by what looked likely to de-
Velop into free fight. An opposition
member tauntingly asked a deputy of
the Governmental party whether he
had his revolver with him. This raised
feeling to fever heat and the members
