Berlin, Feb. 26. — The authorities
have taken great alarm over the occur
rences of last night, and have been on
the gui vive, expecting that far more
serious disturbances would follow the
discovery of their own strength by the
workinguien. Laat night every police
man was on duty. The chief of police,
in company with several of hia aides, on
horseback, visited different parta of the
city that have been the scenea of dis
turbances. The disorders on the out
skirts of Berlin are more serious than in
the center of the city.
Inflamed by their successes yesterday
and last night, the rioters, many of
whom had passed the whole night on
the streets, began to renew their dis
turbances thiß morni' £■ The law-abid
ing resicrenta of ihe city have taken
alarm and many of thorn do not dare
to leave their dwellings.
At an early hour menacing crowds of
wt "kingweu began to assemble in Unter
den Linden. The strong force of police,
present, kept the crowd of idlers con
tinually moving. By noon the crowds
were augmented to such an extent that
the police were compelled to charge
them to clear the streets. They met
with determined resistance, but they
finally dispersed the rioters.
The mob in Kaiser Wilhelm strasse
were especially determined to bold their
ground. The police charged several
times with drawn swords, and finally,
after determined resistance on the part
of the riotera, who fought with aticks
and atones, they were routed. Quite a
number of members of tbe mob were
severely hurt, and all tbe leaders fell
into the hands of the police. Several
socialistic meetings were held in the
vicinity of the bourse, and this fact did
not have a reassuring effect upon the
participators. It waa feared that they
might attack the headquarters of specu
lation, which are held by many to be
partialy responsible for the bad times
* existing.
During the course of the morning, dis
orderly workingmen assembled at sev
eral other points of the City, notably in
the vicinity of the Brandenberg gate,
the museum and the square in front of
the opera house, but when ordered to
disperse by the police, they did so, mut
tering threats, but offering no resist
ance.
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.
Seven ringleaders of this mob were ar
rested.
It is evident that the soldiers will be
used against the riotous element only as
a last resort to establish order. It is
believed by many people, owing to tbe
inadequacy of the police force to handle
the disturbances, though thus far their
conduct merits the highest praiae, that
the government should adopt sterner
measures to put down the trouble at
once for all.
Roughs tried to break through the
line of police at the castle gate and
almoat succeeded, when a force of
mounted officera arrived and broke up
the crowd, riding down and injuring
many of them.
Emperor William does notshow any
anxiety as to the outcome of the present
trouble. There was great excitement in
the vicinity of the caatle at 3:30 this
afternoon when hia majesty, attended by
aides and preceded by two mounted
policemen, emerged from the castle
court and rode slowly through the
streets, notwithstanding they were
packed by excited masses of people. He
was loudly and enthusiastically cheered
by the masses through which he pro
ceeded.
Conflicts between the police and a
mob of 3UOO roughs continued in Rosen
thaler strasse until 10 o'clock tonight.
The police attacked the rioters with the
flat sides of their sabers. The mob was
at length routed and dispersed into the
aide streets, where the scattered bands
began the work of looting the shops of
butchers and bakers. It ia asserted
that only a fo,w genuine workmen took
part in tbe demonstrations.
It was remarked today that the police
were leas self-controlled than yes
terday. They attacked the mobs in a
more violent manner, and did not
scruple to uae the edge of their
sabers. The result is that the number
wounded ia larger than yesterday. In
Michaelkirche strasse the crowd be
came so enraged at a policeman who
drew a aword that he was disarmed and
dragged to a near-by canal. Had it not
been for the arrival of a detachment of
mounted officera, he would have been
drowned. As it waa, he waa badly
beaten. A rttrong force is guarding the
palace «nd patrolling the streets tonight,
and every precaution is being taken to
meet further outbreaks from the rioters.
Curiosity brought out at least 30,000
per £> today. Throughout tbe afternoon
the streets leading to the castle garden
were crowded with people who greatly
hampered the police, and this fact
served to cause exaggerated ideas of the
extent of the disorder. The press of all
shades of politics appeals to the police
to remain in doora.
The emperor assumed an air of the
greatest nonchalance when he rode out
today. .An attempt waa made by the
demonstrators who shouted for bread
and work, to organize a procession to
follow him, but they were prevented by
the police.
The emperor's brother, Prince Henry,
drove in ah open carriage through Unter
den Linden thia afternoon and waa
loudly cheered.
Tbe damage done yesterday and today
amounts to thousands of marks. The
newspapers warn the peopltTragainst
overestimating the importance of the
disturbances, which, they say, are due
to roughs. Socialist papers disclaim on
behalf of the Socialist leaders any con
nection with the rioters, and declare
that the members of the mob belong to
the lowest drega of the population.
Thursday night's riotß were extremely
serious. A number of shops were en
tered by the rioters, who smashed the
furniture, aud all kinda of goods were
carried away in sacks. In some cases a
regular trade waß carried on in the
streets, in stolen gooda.
An unfounded rumor was current to
day that an attempt waa made to force
an entrance into Empress Frederick's
palace.
All ia quiet at midnight. There waa
Borne disorder near the Schloae Freiheit
and the palace at 10 p. m. Several ar
rests were made. There was also a dis
turbance at tbe Eaat End about 11 p.m.
London, Feb. 26. —The Berlin corre
spondent of tbe Times declares that the'
laxity of the government ia due to an
attempt to minimize the extent of the
disorder in the eyes of the public. The
correspondent further says all telegrams
describing the rioting in terma offend
ing the German presa censorß are re
fused transmission, and no accounts of
the later excesses of Thursday could be
wired. The correspondent's own mes
sage breaks off in the middle of a sen
tence describing today's scenes.
Vienna, Feb. 26.—The office of the
Yolk's Presse was today again besieged
by hungry people, when 1000 loaves of
bread, bought with 300 florins publicly
aubacribed, and a quantity of flour
given by the bakers' committee, were
distributed. News of the Berlin dis
turbance caused a great sensation here.
LONDON CABLE LETTER.
THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY'S RAP
IDLY WANING- 'POWER.
A Hard Struggle to Maintain a Majority
in the Commons — The Government
Urged to Dissolve Parliament About
Easter—lrish Campaign Funds, Etc.
London, Feb. 26.—[Copyrighted, 1892,
by the New York Associated Press.] —
The Conservative commissioners who
are urging the government to dissolve
parliament about Easter, have their
reaaona enforced by the daily difficulty
experienced by the Conservative whipß
in keeping enough members together to
prevent the opposition from snatching a
division on anything like an organized
party struggle. By the time Chaplin's
small holdings bill is passed the house
will have no vitality left for prolonged
wrangles over the Irieh government bill.
Still, Balfour shows no disposition to re
cede from his intention to carry that
measure. In a letter to the Bristol
Unionist club, he says he hopes to com
plete the general acheme by introduc
ing a bill transferring to Ireland private
bill legislation. Lord Saliabury haa in
formed his supporters ot his intention
to hold a conference on the eve of the
day the Irish local government bill is
given to the committee. The opposition
tactics, he saya, under Gladatone'a lead
ership will then have developed, and
the Conaervatives will be enabled to de
cide what course to pursue.
lIUSn CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
Chancery proceedings are to open, fol
lowing a writ served upon Mrs. Parnell
and Justin McCarthy jointly, at the in
stance of Redmond, Harrington and
others, with a view to decide the cus
tody of the Paria funds. The special
fund which the Irish National federation
Btarted a year ago for electoral and other
purpoaea ia progreaaing. The total iB
now £12,000 and the fund ia growing
weekly. American contributions are
largely increasing.
AMERICAN IMMIGRATION RESTRICTIONS.
The proposals of Secretary Foster for
restricting European immigration to the
United States, are anxiously discussed
by the Atlantic steamship companies.
It ia auggested that increase of the tax
implies increased passenger rates. A
high steamship authority says while
the scheme will create positions in
European ports for a new class of office
seekers, at the cost of tbe Atlantic
steamship lines, it will impel immigra
tion to other countries, especially
lo Canada. The exacting of a bond of
$50,000 from steamship ownera, as a
pledge for the return of objectionable
emigrants within two yeara, he holda
will be impossible of observance.
SPURGEON's SUCCESSOR.
James Spurgeon, brother of the late
Chas. Spurgeon, haa proviaionally as
sumed the duties of the pastorate of tbe
Metropolitan tabernacle. Rev. _ Mr.
Pierson waa the mqst popular candidate,
but he is a Presbyterian, and the trust
deed requires a Baptiat. Pieraon will
continue to occupy the pulpit, and will
probably formally join the Baptiata.
INDIAN EXCHANGE.
The Need of Free Bimetallic Coinage
Felt in India.
London, Feb. 26.—A dispatch to the
Times from Calcutta says: An address
presented to the government by the
Bengal chamber of commerce, on the
subject of exchange, aayb it is impossi
ble for men in business to have any con
fidence in the future value of the rupee.
It adds that it is the belief of members
of the chamber of commerce that there
ia no complete remedy for the fluctua
tions in ratea of exchange except either by
the establiahmedt by an international
agreement of a system of free coinage of
both gold and silver at fixed rates, or
the adoption of the gold standard by
India. Failing in these remedies, they
Bee nothing in tbe future except the
gradual demonetization of silver by one
country after another, with violent and
endlesa fluctuations in the relative
values of gold and silver, and a fall in
the rupee to a level impossible to pre
dict.
Emigrant Bates.
Chicago, Feb. 26.—Chairman Walker,
on behalf of the commissioners of the
Western Traffic aaaociation, submitted
a decision today disposing of the Atchi
son application for a reduction on sec
ond-class passenger rates from the Mis
souri river to California points. The
commissioners could not agree and re
ferred the whole matter to the advisory
board.

Associated Press Dispatches.
San Francisco, Feb. 26.—The much
talked-of welter-weight fight between
Charles Kemmick), of Minneapolis, and
Hite Peckham, of Bradford, Pa., drew
a large crowd of spectators to the
quarters of the Pacific club tonight. It
had been announced that the winner
would be matched against the winner of
the Ryan-Needham contest for the wel
ter weight championship of Amer
ica, and the long list of
victoria of each man added
further interest to the event tonight.
The men were matched at 141 pounds,
with a limit of two pounds additional,
but it is understood they woighed in at
145 each. Betting shortly before the
fight was at odda of 20 to 14, with Kim

mick. Tim McGrath, Billy Smith of
Boßton and Geo. Lanigan seconded
Peckham. Purse, $1500. Time was

In the first round there was some light
sparring, 'followed by Peckham drop
ping on hia hands a couple of times near
the ropes in evading Kemmick'a right.
Peckham waa whipped in the third
round.
Dra. O'Donnell and Taylor, upon the
request of President Dougherty,made an
examination of Peckham, while the
crowd waited. They reported Peckham
in perfect condition, and announced to
the club that they had no hesitation in
aaying the fight waa faked on the letter's
part.
Kemmick waa aeen in the dressing
room, and aaid he would meet Peckham
for anything the club would give. He
expressed himself as disgusted with the
outcome of hia matches in San Fran
cisco, and claimed that thia waß the
second one he had .-been "jobbed"
out of.
Kemmick was previously matched to
meet McCann, at the California club,
but tne match was declared off, McOanu
being much overweight.
President Dougherty Btated, in an in

either man another match or anything

pet. Gibbs squirmed partly out and
then Gallagher clutched him about
the neck and squeezed Gibbs'a
wind-pipe until hia eyea protruded,
and he became black in the face.
Shouta of "foul" and "don't murder
him," came from the horrified apecta
tara. Gibbs's second attempted to res

A Steamer Sunk in the North Sea With
All Hands Aboard.
London, Feb. 26.—Meagre newa of
the terrible disaster on the North sea,
by which a steamer went to the bottom,
carrying with her every soul on board,
with only one exception, was received
in thia city at a late hour tonight. The
Bteamer Longhbrow, (British), and the
Forest Queen came into collision off
Flarnborough, on the North sea, the
Forest Queen being torn apart. The
eea rnahed through the breaches made
in her hull in a great volume. She at
once began to settle, and in a very short
time plunged to the bottom. So quickly
did the Forest Queen founder, that the
crew had no chance to save their livea,
and all hands, with the single excep
tion of the captain, went down. The
dispatches give no information of the
extent of the damage done the Lough
brow.
CARSON AND COLORADO.
THE ROAD TO BE EXTENDED FROM
HEELER TO MOJAVE.
The Company Reorganized by D. O. Mills
and Other Capitalists—The Line to Be
Completed to Southern California to
Head Off the Rio Grande Western.
San Francisco, Feb. 26.—A complete
reorganization of the Carson and Colo
rado Railway company haa been
effected, and articles of incorporation
were prepared today to be filed at Sacra
mento. The purpoee of the arrange
ment ia for the extension of the line
from Keeier, in Inyo county to Mojave,
on the line of the Southern Pacific and
Atlantic and Pacific railroad. The con
struction of the line over the desert to
Mojave will be commenced in a short
time, material for that purpose having
been contracted for in the eaat and on
this coast.
The stockholders of the new company
are aa follows: D. O. Mills, Edgar
Mills, F. G. Newlandß, George Whittell,
Tboaawßell, J. B. Randal, Horace L.
Hillj H. M. Yerington, William 8.
Wood.
The articles of incorporation set forth
that $1000 ia actually aubacribed
to the capital atock, for each mile
of railroad intended to be purchased'
or constructed by the corporation
and that there haa been paid to George
Whittell, treaaurer, 10 per cent of the
amount aubacribed. One hundred dol
lars has alao been aubacribed for each
mile of telegraph along the line of the
road.
The plan of reorganization includes
the purchase or construction of 425 miles
of road. Of this 293 milea ia already
built, and 132 miles remain to be con
atructed.
D. O. Milla, the leading stockholder
in the concern, has contemplated an ex
tension of the line for several years. It
is believed that he baa been led to final
ly decide upon thia important atep be
cause of the Btrong indications that
another company, the Rio Grande West
ern, would reach down through Nevada
and connect with the/ Southern Pacific.
He will forestall this by building the
road himself, and will be first in the
field, as it would take a long time for
the Rio Grande Western to reach Cali
fornia.
The Carson and Colorado railroad
runs from a point on the line of the
Virginia andTruckee railroad, known as
Mound house, and the line is over one
half in Nevada and the rest in thia
atate. The company haa had a very
prosperous year, and is in better condi
tion than ever to extend ita line to
Mo j aye.
An Insurance Alliance.
San Fbancisco, Feb. 26.—The follow
ing circular waa issued by the Home
Mutual Fire Inaurance company today.
Relations have been eatabliahed«between
the Home Mutual Insurance company
and the Fireman's Fund company,
which will enable the formsr to do busi
ness in states in which it has no agen
cies, upon advantageous terms; further
more by which its policiea, present and
future, upon the Pacific coast, will have
the additional responsibility of the Fire
man's Fund company. It is believed
thia amalgamation haa been made to
light the wealthy Engiieh companiea
which have been" getting the cream of
the business.
A Diabolical Crime.
Vienna, Feb. 26.—Details of a horri
rible story were received today. A
band of masked men went to the house
of a young woman named Mary Lep
pers, in tbe village of Mmm; forced
their way into her bedroom and bound
the woman with cords. They then
poured a large quantity of petroleum
over her, applied a match and calmly
watched the horrible spectacle. The
victim'a shrieka and criea were blood
curdling. The motive assigned is that
the woman waa suspected of having
murdered her husband.
Loubet Forming; a Cabinet.
Paris, Feb. 26.—Bourgeoia has aban
doned the attempt to form a cabinet,
and President Carnot has summoned
Loubet to undertake the taak. There iB
a prospect that Loubet will complete the
formation of a new cabinet tomorrow,
by omitting Conatana and taking the
interior portfolio himself, Freycinet,
Ribot, Bourgeoia, Rouvier, Develle and
Roche retaining their present aeate.
Loubet will declare a policy that will
not allow the clergy to encroach upon
the rights of the state.

WHOLESALE. -*X- R ETAIL.
AMUSEMENTS.
Mr. Roland Reed ia unqueationably
at hia beat as Stuyveaant Filbert in The
Club Friend, in which he appeared last
night at the Los Angelea theater. The
play ia called a comedy, but it partakes
of ao much that ia serious, and ia ao
utterly devoid of the farcical featurea
that modern playwrights aeem to think
belong to comedy, that it has a decided
quality of dignity.
Mr. Reed has the role of a man of the
world, who is actuated by the kindliest
purposes, which are worked out by
meana of his shrewdness and knowledge
of life. It is a part that requires the
utmost skill to keep from being slow,
and necessitates excellent judgment to
prevent from becoming a burlesque.
Mr. Reed makes it thoroughly enjoya
ble, and pictures a character that is
both amusing and likeable.
In the last act Mr. Reed as Gilbert,
Miss James as Mabel Douglas and Mr.
Nash as Dr. Jarvis, act a scene which is
wonderfully Btrong. Dr. Jarvis gives
up all claim to a daughter, who does
not know that he ia her father, and who
thanka him for a weddingdowry, which
Gilbert, who haa brought the girl up as
hia adopted daughter, has extorted from
the unworthy father, he having check
mated every move made through the
play, by Nash, who is the villain, but
who, outwitted by the cool-headed club
man, ia at last brought to a repentant
frame of mind.
The company throughout did excel
lently ; the women were particularly at
tractive, their gowna being no Bmall
feature of the performance.
A pleasing detail waa the ingenuous
acting of Miss Cecile Jamea as Mabel
Douglass. She wae unaffectedly grace
ful and decidedly effective.
