BIG HOWL RAISED AT BERLIN.
POPULACE INCENsED AT POLICE
BRUTALITY AT A PARADE.

Many Persons Killed and Injured on

cIuded the Public From Viewing
1.-THE Crowd so Exasperated That
1t HOOted the Kaiser.
Berlin, June 5-Several unusual features
accompanied the great spring parade on
the Templehof grounds last Tuesday BY
the rigorous police rule barring all traf-
fic from the streets leading to the Temple
hof the public was virtually excluded from
the sight, which for many years has been
a popular diversion. The orders were
brutally carried out by the police, many
persons being killed and injured on the
field. The number of carriages was much
smaller than usual. The emperor and
empress, while going to and coming from
the field, were not once cheered by the
populace which was in very ugly mood,
as the police policy was attributed to the
emperors orders. Several persons in the
dense crowd hooted the emperor, which
were instantly arrested by the police for
chilly dispensing the throng and arresting
a score. The empress was pale and nerv-
Gus, and was so affected by all these
scenes that she suffered from a violent
headache, and insisted upon returning to
the capital the emperor therefore stop
ping the parade before it was half finish
ed. In the jostle on leaving the Temple
hof the empress was again badly scared
Women of the lower classes suddenly ap-
peared at the horses head, and with a
threatening gesture one of the women
threw a petition in the face of the emp
ress. In the turmoil which ensued, her
majesty lost an unique decoration confer
red upon her by Queen Victoria and COM
posed of the queens enameled portrait
set with big diamonds.
The newspapers all condemn the severe
police measures adopted, in excluding the
people from such occasions and contrast
them with the course under Emperors
William l. and Frederick III.
The result of the Won TaCsch trial (the
ac0uittal of the former chief of the secret
political police amounts to a defeat Of
the minister for foreign affairs, Baron Won
Bieborstein. Emperor William is deeply
chagrined at the damaging exposures of
further weakening of police authority
through the use the socialists are prepar-
ing to make of the evidence at the cleo
tions. His majesty seriously blames the
minister for foreign affairs for precipi-
tating this gigantic scandal. There was
stormy scene between the emperor and
Baron Won Bierberstein on Tuesday.
At banquet given to the Reichstag by
the Hamburg Senate upon the occasion of
the horticultural exposition, the emperor
was not toasted. The reason assigned
for this was that there were a large num-
Der of socialist delegates present
Another serious difference, almost
amounting to quarrel, has arisen between
Emperor William and his brother, Prince
Henry of Prussia, said to be due to the at
titude of his majesty towards Great Brit
ain and Queen Victoria, Prince Henry ia
voring a more coneilia tory policy.
In a recent letter the emperor has per-
emptorily forbidden his brother to in any
way interfere in the politics of the empire.
The dominant party al court is frankly
and bitterly anti-British.
