city was under arms, and was ready for
any emergency. During the night. IL
was added, a battery of rapid-fire guns
had been smuggled into the castle, and
many other preparations had been made
to mow down the people. should there
be any opportunity given the authorities
to do SO. The report also had it that
the emperor was in favor of teaching
the rioters
Lesson They Would Not Forget,'
hence the desire of the leaders of the
people that there should be no further
demonstration. But these wise coun-
sells, while having due effect upon the
masses. were not listened to by the more
excited portion of the men who had
taken part in the fighting, and as the
day wore on the small groups of people
became larger, in spite of the efforts of
the police to disperse all such gather
ings, and it bacame evident that fur
ther trouble was brewing. At about
noon Q body of three or four hundred
men gathered together and sang the
Marseillaise, after which, their num-
Der having been considerably aug
mented, they marched through the
Brandenburg gate to the Unter den
Linden, shouting, "Give us work or
bread. "Give us work or bread. :"
I'VE and our families are starving"
"On to the Castle"
These cries were so on followed by
the more alarming one, ''to the castle" !"
which was heard 30 frequently and
loudly Thursday about the same place.
The majority of these men were simply
unemployed workmen, but the advanced
socialistic element was to be found
among them in the directing Of the
movement The cries mentioned were
mingled with bitter denunciations OF
the emperor, of the police and of the
authorities generally. When the riot
ers, then numbering about thousand
men, reached a spot well up to the
Unter den Linden, they joined in . loud
shout of ''to the castle" and led by q
few men who seemed to be the leaders
| OF this demonstration, they pushed on
towards the emperor's castle. They had
not gone far, however, when they were
met by strong force OF police, who ad-
vanced upon them in most determined
manner. There was short, sharp fight,
and the rioters were put to fight, melt
ing away like snow beneath the SUM-
( shina. The police made show of pur-
suing the fleeing rioters, but it was evi-
dent that the authorities were content
| with having dispersed the mob, and that
aregular pursuit was not on the pro-
i gramme.
There was not much real fighting dur
ing this encounter between the police
and The people. The engagement was
very quickly over and the rioters were
soon convinced that the authorities were
completely masters of the situation. A
few rioters were captured, 1t is true
and they were very roughly handled by
the police, but the demonstration die
not compare with that OF the previous
day, either in point of size or signifi
canoe. It was more hks +so ...o tast re
mains OF a rio. than a riot in itse'.
| The other districts of Berlin are quiet
but the full force of police is on dut,
and extra men are guarding the public
buildings.
They Have Popular Sym path.y.
Popular sympathy is overwhelmias a., :.
in favor of the people and there is httl
doubt that matters complained of b,
, the workingmen will soon be ventilated
! in the reichstag, where most livel,
dehave 10 anticipated. The socialist dep
uties propose 10 make a most bitter ar
raignment of the police, who ar,
credited with having behaved with ths
utmost brutality towards women a.
well as men in suppressing the demon
stration Of the unemployed. Nobody
imagines that the trouble is ended
There may be no further rioting at pres
ent, but struggle between the emperor
and the people is admitted to have com
menced.
] 1t is known that the emperor is fu.
rious with rage caused by the popular
outbreaks. and especially at the story
circulated to the effect that he was
trembling with fear while standing al
the window looking at the battle be.
tween the rioters and the police. A
military Gordon has been established
preventing the approach of anyone
within 300 yards of the castle.
/ Intended to Use Dynamite.
1 There is another rumor circulating. II
is to the effect that the Gordon of mill.
tary and police around the palace is due
to the fact that the secret police have
obtained trustworthy information that
plot exists among the anarchists to
make an attempt to blow up the castle,
or at least destroy portion of the
buildings with dynamite.
i 1t is added that among the men ar.
rested was one who was dressed like a
4 4 wenaaa, and that he had concealed be.
meath his clothing three large packages
of dynamite. 1t is alleged that this man
was only one of number who were
similarly equipped and that their inten.
tion was to mix among the rioters.
watch their opportunity for rush at
the castle, and then, combating their
stocks OF high explosives, cause terrific
explosion which might even have caused
the death Of the emperor.
