HAMBURG DIET
COMMUNISTS EJECTED A DISGRACEFUL SCENE ••Times" Cables. (Received loth December, 2 p.m.) LONDCOT, 14th December. The Berlin correspondent of "The Times" states that the Hamburg Diet performed tho unusual exploit of expelling an entiro Parliamentary party. The coalition parties were particularly anxious to pass a measure before Christmas, which the Communists were equally determined to obstruct. A Communist orator refused to quit the tribune, and the House suspended him. He then refused to quit the Chamber, when two officials, amid an uproar, requested him to leave. He still refused to go, and six other officials entered and tried force, when the remaining twenty-six Communists attacked the officials. The free fight lasted until a police officer arrived with a strong body of police. These formed a double chain and ejected the Communists singly. All have now been suspended for a month.
