IN the vicinity of the castle at $3.50 O'clock.

pohcemen, emerged on horseback from
the castle courtyard and rode slowly
through the streets, Notwithstanding that

He was loudly and enthusiastically

proceeded. He rode along the Inter den

his legislative measures may be bitterly
opposed by the people, but the action Of
the people as a whole this afternoon show
That personally he is great favori.e. His
appearance on the streets during a time
like the presen. is apt to have good effect
IN the direction of cooling the anger of the
excited workingmen.
THE RIOTERS DrsPERsE.
AT 3,i5 o'clock Prince Henry of Prussia.
brother of the emperor, left tho castle and
drove in an open carriage through the
unter den Linden. He was loudly cheered
be dense crowds that moved up and down
the street.
As the day wore on the riotous element,
evidently. tired out by stheirslong 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
730 p. nj. the crowds thinned and the
streets gradually took on their normal APP
pearance.
The authorities have concluded that the
outbreak has spent its force, and so conf
dent are they that there will be no further
trouble that they have withdrawn from
duty the extra police who had been called
upon TO AID in the supprcssing of the riot
ing. Late this afternoon d crowd at
tempted to hold meeting on the street in
front of the Dresdener Bank, but the
police dispersed them without much
trouble.
The Socialist paper, the Torwarts, in an
article on the troubles, disclaims, on behalf
OF the Socialist leaders, any connection
with the rioters. The paper declares the
members of the mob belong to the lowest
dregs of the city's population.
=, Numerous crowds gathered throughout
the afternoon in the central parts of the
city. AS soon as they gathered they were
dispersed by the police, for the most part
with little resistance, but in a few instances
serious encounters occurred and mum
Der OF persons We're injured.
The newspapers warn the people against
over estimating the importance OF the
disturbances which, they say, are due to
roughs who are always ready to commit
oitrages. The Tagcbidn says that the dis
turbanees are senseless and without special
Significance. The Boersen Courier expresses
the belief that the rioters were not the
persons who attended the workmen's
meeting.
BERLIN, Feb. 27.-The impression con-

Thursday and yesterday were not due en-
tirely TO the Socialists nor to the resident
workingmen of the city. 1t is. of course
impossible in Berlin. as in other places, to
conduct building operations in the cold
weather, and the result is that thousands
OF men have to submit to long periods of
enforced ;dleness.
The same conditions prevail in the labor
markets throughout Germany, with the
result that large numbers Of workingmen
have Hooked to the capital where they
found their position worse than if they re-
manned at home.
1t is thought that one effect of the
demonstrations, however, will be that
efforts will be made to furnish work to the
unemployed. Already the Socialist mem
beers of the municipal council have pro-
posed that q SPECIAL meeting of that body
be held TO discuss proposition that en-
ployment should be found for the needy
by starting public works. The action Of
the emperor in making his appearance
yesterday when the streets were filled with
the excited populace was commended.
BERLIN, Feb. 2S.-The situation has
greatly improved. The police have
completely regained the upper hand.
Although large crowds continue to col
lect before the Imperial Palace, the DO
lice have little difficulty in keeping them
in motion. Strong detachments of
mounted police patrol the disturbed
quarters.
In view of the more extensive meas
ures taken to repress disorder, the alarm
OF the general public has abated. of
the 100 persons arrested yesterday on
charges in connection with the riots,
only 20 have been detained in custody.
The streets, however, presented an ami
mated appearance during the afternoon.
sIGHT-sEERs THRoNa THE STREETS.
The Inter den Linden and the ap-
proaches to the Thiergarten were
thronged with sight-seers and prone
naders, the groups of roughs being absent.
A few mobs led by men CARRYING naked
swords gathered last night, but were so
quickly dispersed that comparative quiet
settled down over tho city by . o'clock.
Two persons received dangerous sabre
wounds and were taken to hospitals.
An official report states that dozen
policemen were injured.
THE EMPEROR DRIVES OFT.
The emperor, accompanied by mem
bers Of his family, took his usual drive
in the Thiergarten to-day. lie was
heartily cheered by the populace nil
along the route. 1t is matter of COM
mon remark that during the recent dis
turbances the emperor and all the mem
hers of the imperial family have always
met with loyal reception whenever
they have appeared in public.
The troops, too, have always been
warmly applauded by the populaco
while marching through the Streets of
the city. This, it is claimed, proves
conclusively that the late troubles have
not had their origin in personal hatred
of the emperor, and that even the dis.
orderly portion of the population has no
animus against the army, upon whose
services the emperor would, of course,
have to rely in case of serious out
break.
BERLIN, Feb. 20.--Since Saturday
the city has been perfectly quiet and
there has not been a single disturbance
that called for armed police interference.
1t is believed that the disorderly
movement has spent its force and that
no further trouble is to be apprehended.
