a y not known yet whether any
were killed. a multitude Of prls-
nnefs were taken and lodged under
= strong guard IN The cells. The
military remained under arms, but
iopk no part Ia the struggle This
course is said 10 have been followed
by the direct order Of the kaiser,
who was made aware Of the si,ua.
tlon as soon rs the riot first broke
out He commanded that the mil
ilary shoul not interfere unless the
police should prove themselves
unable to cope with the mob.
The authorities bad taken great
alarm over the occurrences Of Thurs
day night, aud have beeu on the
qni vive, expecting far more serious
disturbances would follow the dis
cogery of their own strength as
wofkingmen. That night every
policeman was on duty. The CHIEF
of police In company with several
Of his aides on horseback visited
different parts Of the city that had
been scenes Of the disturbances.
Disorders on The outskirts of Berlin
have been far more serious than II
the center of the city. Inflamed by
their excuses the rioters, many
members Of whom had passed The
whole night IN the streets, began q
renew their disturbances yesterday
morning. The lawabiding residents
Of the city nave taken alarm, and |
many Of them do not dare TO leave
their dwellings.
At an early hour, menacing crowds
Of workingmen began to assemble
in Unter den Linden. There was
strong force Of police present, how
ever, and they kept the crowd OF
idlers continually moving. By |
noon the crowds had augmented to
such an extent the police were com
PEELED to charge them to clear the
streets. They met with deter
mined resistance, but finally dis
persed the rioters.
The mob in Kaiser Wilhelm
strasse were determined to hold
their ground. The police charged
several times with drawn swords,
and finally, after determined |
resistance on the part Of the rioters,
who fought with sticks and stones,
they were routed. Quite number
Of the mob were severely hurt, and |
the leaders fell into the hands of the
police.
Several socialist meetings were
held In the vicinity of the bourse,
and this fact did not have a reassur-
Ing effect upon the operators there,
as they feared the mob might attack
those headquarters of speculation,
which are held by many as partly
responsible for the bad times exist
ing.
The rioters tried to break through
the police at the castle gate and al
most succeeded, when force of
mounted officers arrived and broke
up the crowd, riding down and In
juring them.
Emperor William does not show
any anxiety rs to the final outcome
of the present troubles. There was
great excitement la the vicinity of
the castle at $3.50 yesterday after
noon when his majesty, attended
by an aid, and preceded by two
mounted policemen, emerged on
horseback from the castle court and
rode slowly through the streets, not
wlihstanding they were packed by
excited masses of people. He was
loudly and enthusiastically cheered
by the masses as he proceeded.
THE SITUATION is SERIOUS.
LONDON, Feb. 27.--.A Berlin CORE
soondent OF the Times says: "The
Impression created IN Germany 10y |

fought 10 the bitter eud. Education,
liquor traffic, and other unpopular
bills will be forced through the leg

bound hand aud foot, INTO the hands
OF the centerlsts.n
