BERIIH, Feb. 2a-The socialists are not
BY any means yet quelled. Groups Of them
gathered early yesterday morning in the
Untor den Linden near the palace. They
did not form in one dense crowd, but appar-
emily waited for some expected word Of
command The police ordered them to dis
peno, but they held their ground Then
the police attacked them sayagely, using
both the fiat and the point Of the saber and
wounding "a number severely The social
ists, II they had weapons, did not use them,
but dispersed without any serious resist
anoe.
The Police Swallowed Up.
Toward afternoon matters became more
serious. Tho agitators changed the scene q
operations TO the thoroughfares frequented
by wOrlingmen. Il seemed as If more than
half OF Berlin was out on the streets, thou
sand bent on riot and the Others on watch
ing the rioters A report spread that the
! people wero 10 march to the palace and de-
mand an audience by the kaiser. The dense
throng tried to form itself for parade.
Thousands were In the motley, Informed
ranks and thousands more were ready to
fall IN whom the police gathered 10 make
charge The police threw themselves inn
petiously upon tho people. They We're
simply swallowed up, the police struggling
like fab In a net of humanity.
Then more police were summoned from
all directions and charged more furiously,
-
tho crowd. They tore stones from tho
| pavement, they plucked sticks from boxes
and booths and picked up weapons aud
tools wherever they could find them. With
theee thoy carried oa a long and desperate
battle which for n time seemed doubtful
Tho mob had its temper aroused TO tho
highest pitch, and while the combat was
herooet, word was sent TO have the troops
In readiness The kniser, who had ridden
out IN a carriage with one aide during the
afternoon was kept advised of the situation
and gave instructions that, If the use OF tho
military should be absolutely necessary, no
should be notified, "a it was his intention to
lead them. IL Is said that the kaiser ne
manned booted and spurred until word came
that thcre was no further danger, and that
the rioters had been scattered by the police.
A Fierce aud Bloody Fight.
, Meantime the fight on Rosenthal strasse
wns fierce and bloody The police kept in
4 phalanx, steadily pressing the populace
! backward. IL q policeman fell those near
him closed the gap, while the man had
chance TO get up orif disabled was removed.
Several q the policemen received blows
that put them cut of the struggle Ono
/, giant socialist. known as a Hercules among
his associates, faced the police with his fists
u and leveled two of them before he fell pros

Q 30 spurt from his neck. Another Of the
mob, armed with a billet Of wood, laid about
him 20 furlously that the police could not
/. get Close enough 70 saber him and one was
y about b shoot him. The rioter saw tho
= pistol pointed and threw the stick Of wood
4 az the policeman, knocking the revolver
y from his grnsp. Tho next instant the rioter
= was sabered
q The stones few In showers, but the police
y weFo well protected from these by their
y helmets, and it was only occasionally that
Y an oifioer was burt by missiles.
y Above the noise OF the blows and the rush
u OF the conbatants rose the cries Of the riot
x ers, cursing the burgomaster and the police.
Il was noticed that nothing was shouted
. against the kaiser or the government. The
le rioters did not all direct their energies to
? resisting the police. A good number gave
P their attention 10 pillage and shops were
D. looted as freely a. on Thursday night.
Tho police were victorious at last The
y rioters became frightened at the spectacle
= OF their comrades weltering in blood. Many
. lay seriously woundod, and Others fed bad
y " hurt, to their homes Once the stampede
5 began the fight ended in an incredibly short
time, and police themselves wero amazed at
e tho suddenness q their relief from an ardu-
= ons conflict Tbey had not taken many
y prisoners, for al the policemen that could
b. mustered were needed on the spot but
= the rioters suffered most severely and after
the removal q those who were too badly
wounded to get away, the scene showed, by
: pools OF blood here and there and the debris
: q improyisod weapons, the severity Of the
4 encounter.
% More Rioting Feared.
n The riot was not completely quelled with
q the victory in the Rosenthal strasse Frank
7 furter strasse was also occupied by a consid-
= cradle crowd. and many OK those who fed
!, from Essential strasse rallied at this point.
The police, flushed with success and infuii-
ated by resistance, charged most nercilessly,
cutting right and left and not sparing any
r ooo. IL was impossible for the mob 10 stand
I, / long before the fuxy of such an onset. Cries
u Of pain and yeils Of rage told the effect Of
the police blows Men with cheeks cut open,
othem with blood pouring from wounded
! and helpless arms ran out Of the crowd for
= their homes. The fight was quickly over.
The troops remained in barracks through
out the night and this morning the whole
I. garrison paraded in arms. They were then
y marched back into the barracks, to remain
throughout the day.
I At this time there are grave fears Of moro
y riOting and the authorities are taking pre-
I, cautions by strengthening both the garrison
!, and the police. The leaves OF absence of all
policemen have been cancelled and even the
y retired and pensioned members of the force,
y who are in sound health, have been notified
y 20 be ready on summons
II News has been received from Hamburg,
Dresden and other places of uneasiness
I, among among the populace caused by the
= Berlin rioting, but no serious disturbances
- are reported.
