Socialists to take Advantage of yester

Ail last night tho streets of the suburbs
were filled with fiotera. Beyond tho
waving of red Hag? and looting of sev
eral beer saloons, they did no damage.
Whenever a party /of polices met rioters
the latter quickly disappeared.
RIOTING RENEWED TIIIS MORNING.
Inflamed by their excesses of yester
day and last night, they began to renew
their disturbance this morning. Tho
law-abiding residents of the city have
takeu alarm and lpauy of them did not
dare to leave their dwellings. At an
early hour menacing crowds of work
ingmen began to assoniblc in the Unter
den Linden. Thf re was a strong force
of police present, however, and they
kept tho crowd of idlers continually
moving. They would allow not the
slightest attempt; at speech-making, and
even a muttered reference to lawless
acts, if it fell upon the ears of a police
man, was a signal for the arrest of the

ROB THE CROWDS.
By noon tho jerowds had been aug
mented to such an extent that tho police
felt it would be dangerous to allow them
to remain in the streets, especially
threats of looting shops were being
made. They therefore charged the
crowds, but were met with a determined
resistance and repeated, charges w
necessary before tho crowds
persed. .
The mob thaft had gathered in
Wilhelmstrasso was specially? deter
mined to hold their ground. The first
charge of the police upon them had
effect whatever, and tho police were
compelled to withdraw, some of them
having been quite seriously hurt by the
Bricks and stones of the mob. Tlio police
then drew tthoir swords and again
charged the drowd, slashing right and
left. The mob still held their ground
and returned blow for blow, but finally
they began to slowly give way to the
onslaught, contesting every inch of the
ground.

The police, enraged at the resistance
of the crowd, rallied and made another
determined charge, and after a sharp
scuffle the mob broke and ran in every
direction, abject fear taking the place
of the brute courage that had sustained
them such ai short time before. Quite a
number of tlhe mob were seriously hurt
and all the leaders fell into the hands of
the police. In several other parts of the
;city tho same scenes were repeated.
Berlin, Feb. 20.—The disorders
outskirts of Berlin, to-day, were far more
serious than those that had taken place in
the centre of the city. In Weissetiburg
Strasse during the night small bodies ot
workingmen took possession of that
■ thoroughfare. Many of them carried red
the emblem of the Social Democ
racy, and they rushed hither and thither,
with no idea of anything save to defy the
Authorities. Finally their enthusiasm, if
it may be so termed, took another form

At the same time a mob numbering a

of their voices. Similar scenes
acted in the Koenigsthor district. Here
also could the red flag of socialism be seen
fluttering; defiantly to the breeze.

At 3.15 o'clock Prince Henrv of Prussia,
brother of the emperor, left tho castlo

Unter don Linden, lie was loudly cheered
be dense crowds that moved up and dow
the street.
As the day wore on the riotous element,
evidently tired out by *their2long amt
pent et 1 efforts to make'ns much trouble ns
possible for the police, began to disperse
and make their way to their homes. At
7.30 p. m. the crowds thinned ami the
streets gradually took on their normal ap
pearance.
The authorities have concluded that the
outbreak has spent its force, and so confi
dent are they that there will be no further
trouble tliut thev have withdrawn from
duty tho extra police who had been called
upon to aid in the suppressing of the riot
ing. Late this afternooi
tempted to hold a meeting
front of the Dresdener Rank, but the
police dispersed them without much
trouiile.
Tho Socialist paper, the Vorwärts in an
articlo on the 1(roubles, disclaims, on behalf
of the Socialist lenders, any connection
with tho rioters. The paper deelures the
members of the mob belong to tiie lowest
dregs of the city's population.
Numerous crowds gathered throughout
the afternoon in the central p
city. As soon as they gathered they w..
dispersed by the police, for the most part
with little resistance, but in a few instances
serious encounters occurred and u num
ber of persons were injured.
d
the
let i
of tho
owspnpors warn the peoplo against
over estimating tiie importance ot tho
disturbances which, they say, are due to
roughs who are always ready to commit
outrages. Tho Tagrblatt says that the dis
turbances are sen.seless and without special
significance. Tiie Boerten Courier expresses
the belief that the rioters were
persons who attended the workmen's
meeting.
Berlin, Feb. 27.—Tho impression con
tinues to gain ground that tiie troubles of
Thursday and yesterday were not due
tirely to the Socialists nor to the resident
workingmen of the city. It is. of course,
possible in Berlin, as in other places, ...
conduct building operations iu the cold
weather, und the result is that thnusumis
have to submit to long periods of
enforced idleness.
Tho î
Ol
: conditions prevail in the labor
markets throughout Germany, w ith the
result that large numbers of workingmen
have flocked to the capital, where they
found their position worse than if they re
mained at home.
It is thought that one effect of the
demonstrations, however, will be that
efforts will be made to furnish work to tho
unemployed. Already the Socialist
hers of tin*
unicipal council have pro
posed that a speeul meeting of that body
be held to discuss a proposition that em
ployment should be found i
by starting public works. The action d'f
the emperor in making his appearance
yesterday when (he streets were filled with
the excited populace was commended.
Berlin, Feb. 28.—Tho situation 1ms
greatly improved. The police have
completely regained the upper hand.
Although large crowds continue to col
lect before the Imperial Palace, the po
lice have little difficulty in keeping them
motion. Strong detachments of
mounted police patrol the disturbed
quarters.
In view of the more extensive
urcs taken to repress disorder, the alarm
of the general public has abated. Of

only 23 have been detained in custody.'

An attache of Forepaugh's circus is

"ill eventually have its Avinter head
quarters in this city. Should the aggre

says, it will be quartered hero next

The owners of Rio combination haA'o
two sites in view—SChuctzen Park ami
ly, the latter tho circuit
Ninth ward—and will
o of them. The park is the
's favorite site, because it is
near four linos of railway, the Dolaw
avenue lino and the Front, Fourth and
Eighth street routes, and because, it ia
asserted, they have been promised that
v utilize the purk the railway lines
no extended to the park gates.
Another reason why the park is favored
is because of its ncurness to the Balti
more & Ohio railroad, with which con
nection could bo made by a siding. The
selection of tho park for winter head
quarters would bo of great benefit to
Wilmington city raihvny company,
since performances would bo glveu
there almost daily, except when tho

Locating the headquarters here would
