BERLIN. Feb. 27.-The impression Ia gain
Ing ground that the sronb'eI Ct Thursdsy
and yesterday we're not due entirely t tle
socialists nor to the resident WorkingmeL
OF tho city. There !s IL Berlin ceita!D
GLASS that only wav sn opportunity 10 pi..
lage, and TO them can be attributed much OF
the trouble that has caute1 SO much excite
ment here. No doutt many wofkingmen,
some OF whom were socia. ists. took par; 10 The
rioting, but 1t Is believed that the rough
and iaWless element will he found to have

the unemployed.
The action of the Emperor, In maklag bis
appearance yesterday when the streels were
filed With the e1ct 4 populace, is highly
commended. 1t ia oe. t lin that he created
good impression on the mob as he rode
through the Utt.r den Linden. His Msj ssty
betrayed no consciousness t lat he was In any
danger OF personal violence from h!e excited
sut .cts. He was es cool ar collected az
though no event CT unusual occurrence had
taken place and he repeatedly touched his
military cap In response to the "hoohs"
with which he was greeted. Even the rougbs
we're moved to openly expressed sd mirsticr
TO. the perfect coolness Of tia Emperor.
The city to.dsy ia fax mare trarqoil than
1t has been for two dye pact. Up 10 til
h,ur, hat past o'clock, there have been
no disorders. The authorities have much
bate cor t'ol, and several small gatherings
were essly difpsrsed. The streets are
crowded, but the people are animated
chiefly with curiosity to look upon the de.
srutt'o wrought by tha mob. The police
are vigilant, and though no further disturb
ances are anticipE I'D, icy keep the crowde
moving and will allow OF the holding OF no
eetlngs on the Streets.
At half past one band Of loafsrs cren;sd
disturbance near the museum. When tie
police attempted to dispense them they re.
sisted and short. though fierce struggle
followed. The police were finally the vic.
tors and The losfsrs sought escape from 81
Iess by taking 70 their heels. At hslf par t
two tie Emperor in an open carriage. &C.
compsnisd only by an aide, took drive
about the city. Shortly after his return to
tae castle the Empress went driving. Both
the Emperor and Empress were greeted |
quietly and respectfully BY tae crowds Of
promenaders. It is the general opinion ths |
the trouble Ia all over.
