Naturally Always Pale

tone of derision, which put a stop to
further inquiry and carried the convic-
ton to the military that the army would
be used only as last resort, and that
the kaiser would send his troops TO no
danger he was not willing to face HIM
self.
No one doubts the personal courage
of the kaiser any more than that of his
late father and his mother. The general
opinion is that he would show himself,
on occasion, brave even TO raShneSs.
and would not hesitate to play, as
he once said, King Richard to
the peoples Wat Tyler His
riding out today almost I'M
attended is mentioned as showing both
his courage and his faith in the attach
ment of the people to his house. Not
withstanding the socialist propaganda,
there is deep. underlying sentiment
among the masses of loyalty to
the Hohenzollerns. This is espe-
among the descendants of the
ancient residents, who are still the sub
stantial element of Berlin, of konigs-
berg and Frankfort-on-the Oder society.
The news of the demonstration against
the palace called out the multitude OF
substantial citizens. and these gave
hearty evidence, by cheers, of their
Fidelity TO the Kaiser
and their appreciation of his courage in
going unguar ded among his subjects.
The report of his action had more infiu-
ence than the police in concilating the
populace. The sidewalks of Inter den
Linden were thronged with a 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 a mob.
AS the kaiser approached. with his aide
riding short distance behind, the mob
OF socialists jeered and groaned. The
kaiser remained majestic and erect.
Never had he presented an appearance
more like that of his soldier GRANDPA
Their. He seemed not to hear a jeer
or groan, or to give the slightest at
tentlon as the police, with drawn swords,
rushed to the spot and threw themselves
upon the socialists. The latter seemed
unprepared for an attack. They had
apparently calculated that there would
be no interference with them
in the presence of the kaiser.
a few of them stood stubborn
for moment, resentiDg by epithets
the assault of the 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 leaders were seized
and hurried away to prison on the
charge of lese majestic. The instant the
disturbance was passed and the cheers
renewed the kaiser showed by his man
ner that he recognized and esteemed
the plaudits of the people.
Quiet Established.
Tonight there is quiet throughout the
city. Early in the evening groups gath
cred 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 is on duty, or on
reserve at moments call, only those
who were injured or exhausted in yes
terday's struggle being excused. I'm
til almost midnight crowds wandered
about the streets. visiting from
curiosity the various localities
the police and mob had been
hottest. The beer shops pillaged on
Thursday night remained open as long
as possible, and more than made I'D for
their losses in sales to curious visitors.
The police did not interfere with people
unless they seemed bent on mischief, or
were heard expressing sympathy with
the outbreak. In such cases the Of
tenders were either arrested or ordered
instantly home. The total number of
arrests made during 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 hiding with
their friends. The kaiser is said to be
angry, not so much with the mob as
with the authorities of Berlin, for hay
ing been found unprepared.
Possible Danger Ahead.
Tomorrow is the regular pay day for
wOrkmen here, and there is grave dam
ger that the men, being supplied with
money, many of them will indulge in
drink, and that being inflamed by liQuor
they will grow uncomfortable, and thus
greatly intensity disorders. Strong
feeling is manifested by the
public in regard to the
state of affairs existing in this city. 1t
is claimed that precautions ought to
have been adopted earlier to suppress
the outbreaks, and the people are indig-
nant at the laXty which the authorities
displayed at the outset of the troubles
in allowing themselves to be taken by
surprise and in permitting whole streets
to be given up to the mob without re-
siStance.
A strong force of police are guarding
the palace and patrolling the streets to-
night, and every precaution is being
taken to meet with further outbreaks
from the rioters. Only ten of the pris-
onerS taken on Thursday have been de-
tanned. Nine are charged with breach
of the peace and one with rioting,
which offense is punishable with ten
| years Imprisonment. The fact that
many innocent persons were injured in
| the different melees is likely to lead to
| the exercise Of more discretion on the
| part of the public. Many ugly saber
cuts were treated at local surgeries to-
! day.
Holding the Military.
There is no denying the fact that the
| situation is serious, and that it is so felt
| to be by the government. The police
are as yet intrusted with the work of
preserving order so far as possible, and.
although the troops were last night con-
| fined in the barracks, they have not yet
| been called upon to face the riot
ers. If they are called upon to fire
upon the mob, it VIII be interest
ing, to say the least, to note whether the
recent words of the emperor, which
were in effect that they were nothing
but machines to shoot down their ia
tiers and mothers and brothers and any
one else at his command, will be obeyed.
| The newspapers warn the people
against overestimating the Importance
of the disturbances, which, they
say, are due to roughS who
are always ready to commit
outrages. The Tageblatt says that the
| disturbances are senseless and without
special significance. The Boursen
Courier expresses the belief that the
rioters were not the persons who at
| tended the workmen's meetings..
