through deserted street. A body OF the
police had been drawn across near the
imperial residence to prevent any one but
the guards from entering the castlesquare.
The roughs tried to breek through this
line, and violent encounter ensued. The
soldiers marched through to the castle,
still needless of the row between
the mob and the police. The latter
stood with drawn sabers and as the mob
made their onslaught they struck right
and left with their sabers, inflicting severe
wounds on those who came within reach
of their weapons Finally a detachment
of mounted police that had arrived on the
scene rode down on the mob, which broke
and scattered In every direction. Many
OF the flying roughs were knocked down
and trampled upon by the horses. but the
policemen had no mercy Cd the fugi-
tives and drove their horses at headlong
speed over any OF the mob who stood in
their way. The rout was complete.
The Emperor Greeted with Cheers.
Many things have been said for and
against Emperor William, but he has
never been accused of cowardice. Though
he is no doubt greatly disturbed by the
events of Yesterday and today he does not
show any anxiety In his face as to what
the final outcome will be. There was
great excitement in the vicinity OF the
castle at $3.50 this afternoon, when his
majesty. attended by one aiGe and pre-
ceded by two mounted policemen,
emerged on horseback from the castle
courtyard and rode slowly through the
streets. notwithstanding that they were
packed by excited masses of people. He
was loudly and enthusiastically cheered
by the masses through which he proceed
ed. He rode along Inter den Linden
to the Thiergarten and was everywhere
the recipient of most hearty welcome
from the excited populace. Some of his
legislative measures may be bitterly
opposed by the people, but the action OF
the people as whole this afternoon shows
that personally he is great favorite. His
appearance in the streets during a time
like the present is apt to have good effect
in the direction of cooling the anger OF the
excited workmen.
Alta quarter past O'Clock, Prince Henry
of Prussia, brother of the emperor, left the
castle and drove in an open carriage
through the Inter den Linden. He was
loudly cheered by dense crowds that
moved up and down the streets.
As the day wore on the riotous element,
evidently tired out by their long and re.
peated efforts to make as much trouble as
possible for the police, began to dispense
and make their way TO their homes. At
80 D. m, the crowds had thinned and
the streets were gradually taking on their
normal appearance. The authorities have
concluded that the outbreak has spent its
force, and so confident are they there will
be no more trouble that they have with
drawn from duty the extra police who had
been called upon to aid in suppressing the
rioting.
Late this afternoon a crowd attempted
to hold q meeting on the street. in front
of Dresdener bank, but the police dis
persed them without much trouble. NJ
merOus crowds gathered throughout the
afternoon in the central part of the city.
As soon as they gathered they were dis
persed by the police with little resistance.
but IN a few instances serious encounters
occurred and number OF persons were
injured.
The newspapers warn the people against
over estimating the importance of the dis
turbances, which, they say, are due to
roughs, who are always ready to commit
outrages. The TGge5iqh saws that the dis
turbarces are senseless and without
special significance. The BOrsn Cou let
expresses the belief that the rioters were
not the persons who attended the work
mems meetings. The socialist paper, the
goricqts, IN an article on the troubles. dis
claims on behalf of the socialist leaders

but was dispersed by the police. Several
arrests were made Crowds of youths and
roughs also assembled in the Lustgarten
but were speedily dispersed by mounted
police before they became dangerous.
The damage done yesterday amounts to
thousands of marks. Ambulances were
kept busy all the afternoon ana evening

Conflicts between the police and a mob
OF 5000 rOughs continued in the Rosen-

police attacked the rioters with their sa-

the weapons.
