The citizens of Berlin passed one OF
the most restless nights in the memory
OF the present generation. The echoes
Of the rioting before tho castle Of En-.
porer William Of Germany, at the end
OF the Inter don Linden, spread not
only far into the night, bnt the embers
oi the affair were still glowing lerccly
the next morning.
From sunset until sunrise encounters
between the police and the rioters con-
tinued at intervals In different parts OF
the city, mostly, however, In the east
crn districts. Heads were broken right
and left and the police captured many
prisoners. Throughout the night the
entire police force was kept on duty
and In several quarters detachments Of
troops were kept under arms.

or 400 men gathered together and sang
the ..Msrseillaise, after which, their

Brandenburg gate to Inter den Linden
shouting, ''Giye us work or bread!"
1--WE and our families are starving."

two mounted policemen, left the palace
on horseback, passed at q leisurely pace
through the Inter den Linden, and
rode to and around the Thiergarten,
returning to the palace as he had
come.
Conflicts between the police and 4
mob Of 5000 roughs continued in Rosen-
thaler strasse. The police attacked tho
rioters with the fiat sides of their sabers.
The mob was at length routed and dis
persed into side streets, where scattered
bands began tho work of looting the
shops OF butchers and bakers.

Inc workmen took part in the demon.
stration.
A strong force OF police Is guarding
the palace and patrolling the streets,
and every precaution Is being taken to
meet further outbreaks from the riot
