Count Tisza was unscathed, Kovacs

sittings. but this morning when the
chamber reconvened ne managed to
evade the police and found his way
into the press gallery.
Shooting Begins.
Soon after the proceedings opened
Kovacs moved to the front of the gal
lery and, shouting "there are still op.

drew revolver and emptied three
chambers in the direction of the presi-

That saue night the Socialist union
decided to proclaim a strike of all

exception Of municipal employees.
During the next two days there was
much rioting and many persons were
killed by the soldiers and police. The
whole affair took on a revolutionary
character and the government was COM

the strike TO make certain concessions,
thus appeasing the popular feeling.
The men returned to work on May

by noisy tactics prevented the passage
of legislation and the deadlock was un-

day, when the proceedings again were
interrupted by the use of noise making
devices, the president called in the
police, who expelled thirty members of
