taken great alarm over the occurrences
of last night and have been on the qat
UiUe, expecting that far more serious dis
turbances would follow the discovery of
their own strength by the workingmen.
Last night every policeman was on
duty. The Chief of Police, in company
with several of his aides, on horseback,
visited the different parts of the city that
had been the scenes of disturbances. The
disorders on the outskirts of Berlin were
far more serious than in the center Of the
city.
Infiamed by their excuses yesterday
and last night, the rioters, many MEM
bers of whom had passed the whole night
on the streets, began to renew their dis
turbances this morning. The law-abid-
ing residents of the city have taken
alarm, and many of them do not dare to
leave their dwellings.
AT an early hour menacing crowds of
workingmen began to assemble in Inter
den Linden. There was a strong force of
police present, however. and they kept
the crowd of idlers continually moving.
By noon the crowd was augmented to
such an extent that the police were COM
PEELED to charge them to clear the streets.
They met with determined resistance,
but finally dispersed the rioters.
The mob in Kaiser Wilhelm strasse was
specially determined TO hold its ground.
Il he police charged several times with
drawn swords, and finally, after deter
mined resistance on the part of the riot
ers, who fought with sticks and stones,
they were routed. Quite a number of the

the vicinity of the Bourse, and this fact
did not have a reassuring effect upon
operations there, as it was feared the mob
might attack the headquarter of specula-
ton, which is held by many to be partly
responsible for the bad times existing.
During the course of the morning dis
orderly workingmen assembled at sew
eral other points in the city, notably in
the vicinity of the Brandenburg Gate,
the Museum and the Square, i'll front of
the opera-house. but when ordered to dis
perse by the police they did So muttering
threats, but offering no resistance.
at noon another large crowd collected
In the Opera-house Square. The police
charged the mob with drawn swords and
dispersed them with little resistance.
Several of the ringleaders of this mob
were arrested.
1t is evident the soldiers are to be used
against the riotous element only as last
resort to establish order.
1t is believed by many people that ow-
ing to the inadequacy of the police force
to handle disturbances, though thus far
their conduct merits the highest praise,
the Government should adopt sterner
measures to put down the trouble once

CONFLICTS CONTINUE.
BERLIN, Feb. 26-The conflicts be-

roughs continued in Rosenthaler strasse
until 10 o'clock tonight. The police at

their sabers. The mob was at length

1t was remarked to-day that the police
were less self-controlled than yesterday.
They attacked the mob in a more violent
manner, and did not scruple to use the
edge of their sabers. The result is that
the number of wounded is larger than
yesterday.
