Riotous scenes occurred in the Prussian Diet during the discussion on th e llohenzoliern’s Compromise Bill. Communists, resenting the refusal of the Government to postpone the debate, would not give a hearing to the Finance Minister, who was greeted with cries of “Hohenzollern bully,” “Hohenzollern protector.” The Communists and Nationalists indulged in a free fight on the floor of tho Chamber, until the leaders separated them. Later they clustered threateningly by tho Speaker's desk, end the President of the Chamber adjourned the sitting for five minutes. The Communists continued the uproar after the resumption, declaring that the Minister was a swindler, and demanding the resignation of the committee that passed the Bill.
