VIENKA, Feb. 4 The present session of
the Austrian Parliament came to an end
this- morning after a scene of turbulence
extraordinary even for an assembly where
violent outbreak, are comparatively com
mon. Tbe trouble, which arose from ths old
racial feeling between tbe Germans and tbs
Csecha, broke out during the debate on a
government blQ, the object of which was to
reconcile these differences. The radical
Csech obstructionists, who have been hin
dering ths drbate on this measure for sev
eral days past with a continuous din from
drums and tin whistles, so exasperated the
Germans this morning thst tbe opposing
deputies came to close quarters and a fierce
scrimmage ensued. One of the radical
Czech deputies, a man named Specek. who
ha. been particularly violent in his obstruc
Uon, was captured and whipped until he
bowled for mercy. Another Csech was bit
tea by a German on the cheek and sus
tained an ugly wound, and black eyes and
sore head, wers numeroua. The premier.
Baron von Bienerth, seeing the uselessness
of attempting to pus leg&lstion, closed the
session and sent the deputies home.
Ths departure cf the ministers was fol
lowed by another free fight in which the
opposing factions rushed upon one another
to tbs strains of revolutionary songs, and
wild confusion reigned for half an hour.
Tbe deputies finally becsme exhausted and
the battlefield was gradually deserted.
The sudden closing of the session and the
political import of the disorder have had
aa adverse effect upon the Bourse.
