which could be heard far and wide
Bread. Let us take bread if the
emperor will not give II to us. There"
pointing to a neigboring bakers
store, there's bread. Take it.,
With roar like that of a pack of
hungry tigers the men made rush for
the bakery, broke in the entire front of
the store and cleaned it of its contents
In about the time it takes to write it,
And they munched at the stolen bread as
u no food had passed their lips for days.
But this was not ALL The supply of
bread from the store was sufficient
70 relieve the hunger of only a small
portion of the crowd and number of
other bakeries, grocery stores and
Wine shops were broken into
and emptied of their contents.
Two butchers shops were also looted
before the force of police strong enough
20 quelf the riot could be summoned to
their aid. When the police did appear
the mob, evidently more full OF hunger
Than of fight, scattered in all directions
and left the police in possession of the
disnantled stores. The emperor re-
mained watching from the windows of
the castle schloss, surrounded by several
generals and half dozen aides-de-camp,
until half an hour after midnight, when
ne dismissed his staff, after receiving re-
ports by orderiies from all the military
and police districts. Previous to retir-
ing for the night the emperor dismissed
che Alexander regiment of the guards
which had been on duty throughout the
day with fixed bayonets, the troops,
however, being kept within easy call.
The Press Censor at work.
The fact has been made clear that the
press censor of Berlin has been busy at
work since Thursday altering ard
changing the tenor of riot dispatches
sent out OF Germany. SO much so, that
number OF newspaper correspondents,
the representative of the London Times,
Tor instance, have been informed from
Their home Offices that their dispatches
were, in some cases, almost ineligible, as
they had left whole sentences out, and
That their messages had breaks in them
which made their stories unconnected.
ihe Times man was indignant, and
made an investigation of the matter.
de indignantly demanded at the tele-
graph office TO know by whose author
ify the changes had been made, and was
calmly informed it was by order of the
press censor.
In view of this fact it may be ex-
planned that the correspondent of the
United Press, anticipating some such
action upon the part of the press censor.
caused his first dispatch announcing the
riots, which was twelve hours ahead Of
any other dispatch sent to the United
States, to he filed ct certain place out
saasof Bsrlin. thus eompletelya outwit-
ting the psess censor. In view of the
possibility that even these dispatches
may have been tampered with, though
sent by safe underground road, it
should be reported that the rioting was
of q very important nature, and that
the character of the conflict between the
police and the rioters cannot be much
exaggerated.
During the emperor's ride through
the Unter den Linden and around the
Thiergarten the mob twice threatened
to drag the young monarch from his
horse and he was frequantly greeted
with storms of hooting, and serious dis
turbances were only averted by the
large force of police present, who
charged in among the jeering crowds
and arrested number of them for lese
majestic.
The emperor tried to appear stoical in
face of these evidences of his unpopu-
larity, but his face showed that the
attempt was . failure. In spite of the
police, at the Thiergarten a young man
broke through the crowd escaped the
clutches OF several policeman, who made
grabs for him, and ran up to the
emperor, whose horse horse was going
at fast trot. Many people in the
crowd raised shout as they saw the
young man in expectation that he was
going to try and carry out the sugges-
ton, frequently heard, of dragging the
emperor from his horse. The stranger
did not approach too near to his
majesty, but contented himself with
keeping up at run with the emperor'a
horse for nearly half mile and shout
ing: "Work. Give us work, Wilhelm. "
The runner was finally captured by q
mounted policeman, and was roughly
hustled, off to the nearest guard house.
1t is evident from the number oi
heads and hands wrapped up in bloody
bandages which are to be seen in certain
quarters Of the city, that two or three
hundred people at least, have suffered
more or less injury ut the hands of the
police. The authorities have about two
hundred persons in custody, but thii
number does not include any of those
arrested on the charge of lese majestic
nor does it include arrests made Friday
night in various parts Of the city upor
information obtained after the riots ha<
ceased. This series OF arrests, 1t is ex
pected, will continue for some days Ii
come, a. it Is said that the anthoritie
