:. The ci,y to-day is far more tranquil than

s. afternoon there have been no disorders.
The authorities have better control and sew

The streets are crowded, but the people

upon the destruction wrought by the mobs.
The police are yigilant, and though no
further disturbance is anticipated hey keep
the crowds moving, and will allow the hold

At2:3O o'clock the Emperor, in an open
carriage, accomraaied only by an aid, took
a drive about the city. Shortly after his
return 10 tie castle the Empress went drv-
ing. Both the Emperor and Empress were
greeted quietly and respectfully by the
crowds of TTomenaders
Il Is the general opinion that the trouble
is all over. The Tabble has been cowed by
the energetic action OF the police, and even
were they so disposed they would be afraid
70 RttemI any such TiOtous demonstrations
u as marked the past TWO days.

Rioting Resumed.
=: =: Despite the quiet aspect Of the streets
: this morning and afternoon, appTehensiOns
we're felt for the evening. The situation
seemed 10 be under the absolute control Of
the police until nlEhtfall, when rOWdylSm
renewed the tussls with the authorities.
The first encounter occurred at the Haec-
kesChe market, where g noisy mob assem-
bled, consisting OF young WOTkingmen,
probably excited with beer, and largely also
Of the most rowdy element in Berlin. The
patrols became so blocked in the masses Of
the crowd that they sent for re-enfOrcemeuts.
when they charged the mob with their
EabeTs drawn, driving them toward New
Frederick stTasse and OranienbuTger
gtTasse. Several thousand OF the rioters
thus split up by the police tactics rea SEM
bled on the streets IN the northern quarters
and ROsenthal strassa became tue next
focus for TiOiing.
The position at 7 o'clock appeared crit
ical. A great mass Of people assembled in
s. groups listening 20 Socialist speakers, who
violently denounced the Government, the
police and everything comprising the exist
ing order Of things. The police made an
other charge, and repeated il again and
again, but the crowd, after giving way a
little at each charge, reclOsed its ranks, and
fought the police with desperate eLergy,
using as weapons sticks. stones. heavy
billets Of wood and anything they could lay
their hands upon.
Using Sharp Sabers.
When the police found the tide Of battle
turning against them they did not hesitate
10 use the edge Of their sabers. A large
number Of rioters were badly hurt and
taken to suTgeTies in the vicinity, where
their injuries were attended 10. BY half
past 10 o'clock the Roseuthal melee was
over, and a large number Of the rioters were
IN the police station.
AS Oh Thursday, some Of the rioters took
advantage OF the upr0ar 20 smash the shop
Windows and seize upon the goods dis
. played in them, or anything else that came
within their reach. The feature Of To-
nights rows has been the large increase iu
the number Of workingmen who were mixed
up with the mob
Hitherto the greater part Of the crowds
has consisted Of men never known to work,
2. professional agitat0Ts and the dregs Of
humanity. Tonight, however there were
many genuine w0TkiDgmen In the crowds.
This can be attributed to the fact that TO-
day:Was payday.
.-- Tie advice gwen the Socialists by their
: organ, the FOrWaeTts, does not seem to have
had. much effect. The paper appealed TO
sthem TO act ID an orderly manner and keep
away from the beer-sh0ps.

'Dightln the northeast districts Of the city

not suffice to keep the curious of the streets.

were spreading to Tegol, an outlying suburb.
