BERfIN, Feb. -. THE citizens Of
Berlin have passed one OF the most
restless Thursday nights In the memory
OF the present generation The echoes
of yesterdays rioting before the castl,
OF the Emperor William OF Germany, at
tho end of the Inter den Linden. spread
not only far into the night. but the en-
bcrs of the affair were still glowing
hcrccly Friday morning
From sunset until shutdown encouut-
crs between the police aud the rioters
continued at intervals In different parts
OF tho city. mostly. however. In the
eastern districts. Heads were broken
right and left, aud the police captured
many more prisoners.
Throughout tho night the entire no.
lice force Of the city was kept on dntx.
and. in several quarters detachments
OF troops were kept under arms. IL is
difficult To picture the state OF wild cx-
citemcnt which prevails here. and ac-
cording TO the newspapers OF this city.

are beginning To- feel convinced that
the damning words recently attributed
TO tho emperor must be tho vaporinRa
of crowned mailman. aud that the
ruler of tho German empire il suffering

This Is the conclusion that the pcopi.
here are gradually coming To- and there
Is mo- doubt that the empire Is in dan
ger. II " not intended by this to
intimate that IL Is probablc that tho
empire will soon bc swept away by the
waves OF u revolutionary movement;
the time for that uphcaval has not ar
rived
IL Is felt ON all sides that the emperor
by announcing practically to tho
Brandenbcrgcrs that he had flung down
the gauntlet To the people. aud that no
would drive from their homes and into
the exile Of emigration all those who
opposed his will, gave the signal for
the struggle between himself. as ~ am
the state and the people OF the en-
pirc who are asserting their right To
have their wrongs rcdrcsscd by their
sovereign
The emperor. Il u recalled, at a
previous Brandenburg banquet ex-
claimed.
There is only one ruler ia the
country; ! am that ruler. and will
endure no other"
These and other such sayings credit
ed to the emperor have not passed un.
needed In Germany, and have left rank
ling sores In tho hearts OF the people.
In spite OF the efforts OF the police 20
dispcrse all such gatherings, IL became
evident Friday that trouble was again
brewing About noon body OF three
or four hundred men gathered toge Their
and sang the "Marseillca." after which
their number having been considerably
augmented, they marched through the
Brandonburg gate To tho Untor den Lin
den, shouting: Give us work or brcadr'
Give us work or brcndl' I'VE and our
families are starvingl"
These cries were followed by the
more alarming one OF ITO the cnstler'
which was heard so frequently aud
loudly Thursday about the same place.
The majority OF these men were simply
unemployed workbench; but the adj
vanced socialistic element was 20 be
found among them In the directing of
the movement
When the rioters then mum boring
about 200 men, reached n spot well up
the Inter den Linden, they joined in n
loud shout OF ITO the Castlel" and. led
by few men who seemed 20 be the
lenders OF this demonstration. they
pushed on toward the empcrors cnstle.
They had not gone far however.
when they were met by n strong force
OF police. who advanced upon them i'm
n most determined manner. There was
n short, sharp fight. and the rioters
were put to night, melting away like
snow beneath the sunshine.
Popular sympathy Is overwhelmingly
In favor Of the people. and there is
little doubt that the matter complained
OF by the svorkingmen will soon be
ventilated ia the reichstag. where n
most lively debate is anticipated.
