The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1892-03-04
SOME SOCIALISTS GROANED.
His Majesty, However, Was Too Majestic
to Hear Them.

his majesty, however, WINS LOO naJestlc
to Hear Them.
The report of the kaiser's ride spread
through the city and had more influence
than the police in allaying excite
ment and conciliating the populace.
The sidewalks of the Inter den
Linden were thronged with a
compact crowd to witness his return.
The cheers were without groan or hiss
to mar them until point was reached
where about $50 socialists were gathered
in mob. AS the kaiser approached,
with his aide riding short distance be-
hind, the mob Of socialists jeered and
groaned. The kaiser remained III ljestic
and erect. Never had he presented an APP
pearance more like that Of his soldier
grandfather He seemed not to hear n
jeer or groan or to give the slightest at
tention as the police, with drawn swords,
rushed to the spot and threw themselves
upon the socialists
The Unexpected Happened.
The latter seemed unprepared for an at
tack. They had apparently calculated
that there would be no interference with
them under the presence of the kaiser. A
few of them stood stubborn for moment,
police. Then they tried to escape The
police cut them down with their swords,
not killing any, but wounding several
slightly Those who appeared to be lead
ers were seized and hurried away to prs-
on on the charge of lese majestic. The in
slant the disturbance was passed and the
cheers renewed the kaiser dropped the
mask of impassiveness and again showed
by his manner thu he recognized and es-
teemed the plaudits Of the people.
All Quiet at the Germ an Capital.
Last night there was quiet throughout
the city. Early in the evening groups
gathered here and there in the suburbs,
but were quickly dispersed, a few arrests
also being made In the thoroughfares of
the eastern district many of the shops
were closed for fear of further trouble and
pillage. Nearly all the police force was on
duty, or on reserve at a moments call,
only those who were injured or exhausted
in Thursdays struggle being excused.
Until almost midnight crowds wandered
about the streets visiting from curiosity
the various localities where the encounter
between police and mob had been hottest.
Some scrimmages Yesterday.
The mob did not give up with its demon
stration Of Thursday night, but yesterday
morning there was another march to the
castle of a couple of thousand men, call
ing for Bread" They were met near the
castle gates by the police and dispersed
after a sharp fight. They rallied several
times, but the police were masters of the
situation every time. Turbulence was
almost entirely quelled by afternoon The
police did not interfere with people unless
they seemed bent on mischief, or were
heard expressing sympathy with the out
break. In such cases the offenders were
either arrested or ordered instantly home
The total number of arrests made dur
ing the two days is 200, and sixty persons
are known to have been wounded. Many
of the slightly wounded are supposed to
have made their escape and TO be in hid
ing with their friends. The kaiser is said
to be angry, not so much with the mob as
with the authorities of Berlin for having
been found unprepared. Ii is expected
that he will call them, from burgomaster
down, to "a severe account.
