JEW-BAITING.
ANTI-SEMITIC AGITATION IN AUSTRIA. The Vienna correspondent of the “Times” says that a serious disturbance of an anti-Semitic character has broken out in the Vienna University, following which the University was ordered to close indefinitely. Some months ago a campaign was launched against Jewish students in Vienna, but quie«. ened down.
Definite signs of the trouble re developing have now appeared,, and the Rector has prohibited all students wearing the corps’ colours or other insignia, in order to check their polii. cal ardour. This caused bad blood. Two hundred youths, mostly attending the technical college, armed with life preservers, knuckle dusters and lite instruments, stormed the university and forced a way to the lecture room where they compelled the Professors i», suspend work and ordered the Jewish students to quit the university. Wherever the demands were complied with the youths declared that they were satisfied, but resistance invariably followed by forcible ejections, in which many free fights occurred. Similar scenes and disturbances are reported from Gratz.
