After much trouble he succeeded in restoring order, just as the police
appeared on the scene.
Dr. Wolff defied everybody and everything, and announced his intention
of coming to the next session with revolvers in his pockets.
A Cabinet council was called in the evening, and the idea of dissolving
the Parliament was openly discussed.
Even this did not frighten the crazy ruffians who form the Austrian
Parliament.
At the next session, doors had been erected and passages blocked, so
that the President could not be attacked on the tribune, and an attempt
made to get on with business.
The Government had been busy in the interval, and had prepared a motion
that all persons guilty of disorderly conduct in the Reichsrath should
be suspended for a certain number of days, and deprived of their pay for
that time.
The President read the motion, amid the howls of Wolff and his party.
It is said that the whole affair must have been arranged beforehand, for
not a word of the motion could be heard in the house.
