VOL. 37. —NO. 130 THE CRY FOR BREAD Renewal of the Rioting in the Streets of Berlin. A Tranquil Day Followed by a Stormy Night. Many Workingmen Participating in the Disturbances. Sunday Expected to Be the Stormiest Day of All—Bread Blots in Differ ent Parts of the Fatherland— The Bnd.Not Yet. Associated Press Dispatches. Beblin, Feb. 27.—The city today was far more tranquil than for two days past. Up to 3:30 o'clock there had been no disorders. The authorities had better control and several small gatherings were entirely dispersed. The streets were crowded, but the people were an imated chiefly with curiosity to look upon the destruction wrought by the mobs. The police were vigilant and kept the crowds moving and would not allow the holding of meetings on the streets. At 2:30 the emperor, in an open car riage, accompanied only by an aide, took a drive about the city. Shortly after his return to the castle tbe em press went driving. Both the emperor and empress were greeted quietly and respectfully by the crowds on the prom enades. RIOTING RENEWED. Scenes of Thursday and Friday Nights Re-enacted In X crl ill. Bbblin, Feb. 27.—[Copyright, 1892, by the New York Associated Press.] — Despite the quiet aspect of the streets this morning and this afternoon appre hensions were teit for the evening. The situation seemed to be under the abso lute control of the police until nightfall, when rowdyism renewed its tussle with the authorities. The first encounter oc curred at the Hae Mesche market, where a noisy mob assembled, consisting of young workingmen, probably excited with beer, and largely, also, of the most rowdy element in Berlin. The patrols got so blockaded in the masses of the crowd that they sent for rein forcements. Then they charged the mob with sabres drawn, driving them to wards Neve Friedrich strasse and Am or Ainienburger strasse. The several thousand rioters thus split up by the police tactics re-assembled later on the streets in the northern quarters. Ro senthal strasse became the next focus for rioting. The position at 9 o'clock appeared critical. A great mase of people assem bled in groups listening to socialist speakers who violently denounced the government, the police and everything comprising tbe existing order of things. The police made another charge and re peated it again and again, but the crowd, after giving way a little at each charge, reclosed their ranks and fought the police with desperate energy, using as weapons sticks, stones, heavy billets of wood, and anything they could lay their hand? upon. When the police found toe tide of battle turning against them, they did not hesitate to use the edge of their sabres. A large number of rioters were badly hurt, and taken to the surgeries in the vicinity where their injuries were at tended to. By 10:30 the Rosenthal mtilee was over and a large number of rioters were in the police stations. As on Thursday, some of the rioters took advantage of the uproar to smash shop windows and seize upon the goods displayed in them, or anything else that came within their reach. A feature of tonight's rows has been a large increase in the numbers of work ingmen mixed up with the mob. Hith erto the greater part of the crowd con sisted of men never known to work, pro fessional agitators and the dregs of humanity. Tonight, however, there were many genuine workingmen in the crowds. This must be attributed to the fact that today was pay day. The advice given the Socialists by their organ, Vorwaerts, does rAt seem to have had much effect. The paper appealed to them to act in an orderly manner, and keep away from beer shops. All the police available are concen trated tonight in the northeast districts of the city. After the fight in Rosenthal strasse, several collisions occurred in Brunnen and Frankfurter strasse. As the rioting increased, the authorities issued an order calling upon people to remain in doors. The order, however, did not suffice to keep the curious off the streets, and many spectators suffered with the members of the mob. At a late hour the central authorities were warned that the disorders were spreading to Tegal, an outlying suburb. Mounted gendarmes were aIBO called out in another district. Tonight closes with worse prospects for tomorrow. The authorities believ ing that the spread of the rioting is likely, have taken extended precautions to meet the trouble. All the troops are ordered confined to the barracks, and Sunday ia anxiously awaited. It ia believed should a serious disturbance occur tomorrow, it will be necessary to call on the military for aid. The origin of the riots is found in the appeal of unemployed masons to Burgo master Forckenbeck for employment in municipal work. The under burgomas ter declared that the municipality au thorities could not give them work, and referred them to the superintendent df public works. The latter promised to use his influence with contractors. It was doubted whether this would be of much importance to the men and their families, many of whom were on the verge of starvation. The meeting at Friedrichshain followed. ■One of the delegates told the men that there waß no immediate chance of the municipal authorities furnishing them with work. The meeting adopted reso lutions declaring, in view of the prevail ing distress, that the state authorities LOS ANGELES HERALD. might begin the erection of new build ings aud thus furnish work for the desti tute. There is no truth in the report that extreme Socialist views were ex pressed, and that the crowd demanded that the government furnish them with work or bread. Only the respectful suggestion was made that the condition of affairs required extraordinary exer tions on the part of the authorities to alleviate distress. The truth of the whole matter ia that the workingmen at first bad nothing to do with the demonstration. It was the lower strata of stragglers on the edges of the meeting that began the demon stration. As the excitement growing out of the conflicts with the police expanded, the ferment among the better clasa of workingmen haa grown. The emperor's advice to the mal contents to emigrate haa added fluel to the flames, and the end now cannot be told, though it ia certain if the soldiery are called upon that much bloodshed will follow. Berlin is not alone in trouble. Dis tress is prevalent in every populous center of Germany, and the cry for bread is clamorous. During the week bread riots occurred in Dantzic and Brunswick. Meetings of the suffering poor were held in Ham burg and Breslau. In scores of places the strikes that occurred during the past few months, always resulting in the de feat of tbe men and tbe exhaustion of the benefit funds, have assisted employ era to reduce work, causing further trouble for the men. The government members of the reichstag accuse the Socialists of play ing a double game, ostensibly restrain ing but secretly inciting the working men to violence. On the other hand the Socialists charge police agents with fomenting the riota in order to enable the government to execute a grand coup of wholeaale repression. WERMUTH IS WORRIED. THE WORLD'S FAIR PLANS DO NOT SUIT HIM. He Wants More Space For the German Department—Herr Krupp Going to Make a Great Exhibit of Guns—Pro fessor Virohow Championing Ameri can Fork.

At 11:30 the street car management called in all the cars and announced that no furthei attempt to run cars would be made today. This afternoon there was still much excitement on the streets, but the tem porary withdrawal of the cars served to make the strikers and their followers less demonstrative.

FREE COINAGE 18 THE SOLUTION OF THE MONEY PROBLEM. A New York Bank President's Ideas of Correct Finance—Gold and Silver Should Be Coined on Equal Terms and iv Unlimited Quantities. Chicago, Feb. 27.—A notable affair tonigbt was the annual dinner of tbe Chicago Bankers' club, a feature of which was an address in advocacy of free coinage of silver by President Wm. P. St. John, of the Mercantile National bank of New York. The words, "free coinage of silver," .he said, are the com mon but misleading terms for the pro posal to restore the coinage system of the United Stateß founded under Wash ington, advised by Hamilton, recom mended by Jefferson and ratified by Jackson. That system of equality, un restricted coinage of gold and silver, which it is now proposed to reinstate, > was maintained continuously for eighty- "one years, until overthrown unnotice ably in 1873, and yet no objections are now too paradoxical to hail from one and the same antagonist of silver coin age. St. John analyzed the monetary con ditions of continental Europe, as show ing that there is need of silver and the world'a insufficincy of gold. If Europe should desire to discard her silver, he aaid, the statistics of the world's con sumption of silver at preaent, including our treasury abaorption, would appear to be in exceaa of the world'a preaent production of Bilver; thia, in spite of the fluctuations of the price, would reduce India's absorption by over $17,000,000 worth of silver during nine mouths. He argued that the propoaed fixity of the price for ailver at our mints, would ao enlarge India's abaorption aa to assure the permanence of our law aucceasfully. In conclusion, he said the proposed reopening of the mints to gold and silver alike, besides maintaining the parity of the bullion value of our dollars, will provide an automatic issue of money, limited by the mine product of hard labor. The sole alternative suggeeted ia the ineatimable capricioua issue of limitless legal tender notes. Search for the Sedalla Rape Fiend. Sedalia, Mo., Feb. 27.—Search for the fugitive assailant of Mrs. Taylor still continues, but without effect. Large parties of citizens of all classes are out scouring the country in all di rections.
