BERLIN. Feb. 26.-The authorities have
taken great alarm from the occurrences Of
yesterday and all have been on the qui
Vive, expecting far more serious disturb
ances to follow the discovery of their own
strength by the Nvorkingmen. There IS no
denying the fact the revolution is serious
and that it is so felt to be by the
government. The police are as yet
intrusted with the work of preserving Or
der as far as possible, and though the troops
were last night confined in the barracks
they have not yet been called upon to
face the rioters. In Weissen-
berg Strasse during the night small
that thoroughfare. Finally q body Of 200
men took possession Of Landsburg Strasse,
and forming an irregular procession,
marched to Grueuenweg, shouting, yell
ing and smashing windows of stores and
dwellings along the route. Attn same time
a mob numbering 2000 men marched from
the F'rankfurter quarter to aud along
Schiiling strasse. They, too, acted in a
most disorderly manner, Similar scenes
were enacted in the Kcenigsthor dis
trict. The police were utterly IN
able to cope with so many
disturbances in so many Gift 5rent
localities, and for some time the rioters had
things all their own way. When the police
did meet the mob they had little diff
shain, suburb, a beer shop was
demolished by the rioters. Infaned
by the excess of yesterday
and, last night a lotious crowd began TO re-
new the disturbances this morning. There
was strong force of police present, how
ever. this morning. They kept the crowds
of idle men continually moving. AT
noon the crowds were augmented to
such an extent the police charged them,
but met with determined resistance
and repeated the charges before the
crowds dispersed The mob gathered in
Kaiser Wilhelm's strasse was specially de-
terulined to hold the ground. Finally they
began slowly to give way to
the onslaught, conteStlng every
inch of ground After sharp scufle
the mob broke and ran in every direction.
During the course of the morning, dis
satisfied and Gisorderly workingmen assem-
bled at several other points in the city,
notably in the vicinity of Brandenburg
gate, but when ordered TO disperse by the
police did so, muttering threats, but
offering no resistance. Another large crowd
collected in opera house square. The police
charged with drawn swords and dispersed
them with little resistance. Seven of the
ringieaders were seized and hustled to Jail
1t is very evident the soldiery will be
used against the riotous element only as a
last resort to establish order.
L a
ment of soldiers headed by band march
ing towards the castle to take the
place of the guards on duty
there was accompanied by q large
mob of roughs. A body of police had been
drawn across the street near the imperial
residence, to prevent anyone but the guards |
from entering the castle square. The |
roughs tried TO break through the line, and
a violent encounter ensued. The police, with |
drawn sabres, struck right and left, inficting !
severe wounds. Finally q detachment of |
mounted police rode down on the mob, |
which broke and scattered in every d. |
rection.
There was great excitement in the Vicin- |
ity of the castle this afternoon when his |
majesty, attended by one aide and pre- |
coded by two mounted policemen, emerged !
on horseback from the castle courtyard and |
rode slowly through the streets, notwith- |
standing they were packed by ex- |
cited masses of people. He was loudly and |
cheered by the masses |
through which he proceeded. Some of his |
legislative measures may be bitterly OPP |
posed by the people, but the action of the |
people as a whole this afternoon shows |
personally he is great favorlte. His ap-
in the streets during time like |
the present is apt to have good effect in |
the direction of cooling the anger of the |
excited workmen.
