Xdlo Tollers in Berlin March to the Castle Gatfis.

THEY ARE DRIVEN BACK BY POLICE.

A Fight in Which Mttny of Them Are Wouudml—Nearly a Hundred Are Placed Under Arrant—Cause of the Klot.

AT TUB KMPKIIOR'S IIOORS. BKIILIX, Feb. 20.—That the spirit of

discontent is spreading with alarming force among- the masses of the German empire was exemplified on Thursday wlien body [of S.UOO or' 4,000 unemployed workmen met by preconcerted urrunjrcincnt in a public square and passed a series of inflammatory resolutions denouncing- their.employers and the system of government which enabled the latter to crush the working-man beneath the iron heel of capital, and ca'litig- upon the government to take steps to protect the interests of the working classes.

A Demount rat Ion.

The news of this bold gathering in defiance of tho recent order of the authorities prohibiting such meetings spread 'villi electrical rapidity throughout the city. The result wus that the socialist agitators determined to take advantage of the excited, unemployed men to make a demonstration bofore the castle of the emperor. The police upon the spot tried to argue with the workmen, but without shaking their determ nation to carry out the project outlined. They were warned that such a demonstration would probably result in bloodshed but, led by the socialist agitators, the workmen formed in column and marched from the square mentioned in the direction of I"liter den Linden, the most celebrated avenue in Herlin.

Wot at the Cnnflc Oatpo.

Arrived upon the Utiter den Linden, beneath the statue of Frederick the Great, a halt was made and a socialist leader made a passionate address to the throng, urging thorn to carry their demonstration up to the gates of the castle. Loud cheers greeted the suggestion and the workmen, cheered by thousands who had gathered to witness the demonstration, marched toward the castle. They had nearly reached tho castle gates when a strong detachment of police suddenly threw themselves between t'.je rioters and the castle and made a determined charge upon the head of the working-men's column.

The Cnllfliut.

The latter for a moment or so, nerved by the roaring cheers of thousands, bravely and stubbornly withstood tho attack of the police and, pressed onward by those in the rear, actually managed to gain headway and to beat back the powerful police detachment. The latter, however, rallied and, hitting furiously right and left, woundod scores upon scores of workmen, who fell bleeding beneath the feet of the otlieers of the law. rut to i--ii£iit.

Somebody among the workmen called upon them to retreat and come again some other day, 100,000 strong and prepared to meet the "emperor's butchers." A retreat then commenced and soon developed into flight and into a panic. The police, after taking from eighty to 100 prisoners, seemed content to allow the remainder to escape, for there was no regular pursuit of the rioters, though small bands of them were chased down the side streets and dispersed.

Mnujr Wounded.

The sixty to seventy

rioters

who remained on the field of battle were then attended to at a neighboring hospital, and tho regular prisoners were put under lock and key.

A Second Free Fight.

Another row occurred about 5:30 p. m. near Brandenburg gate. About 300 tnen out of employment assembled with the intention of holding a demonstration, but they quarreled among themselves instead and a free light ensued. They were finally dispersed by the police. (itttlng Food by Force.

During the evening hundreds ol' unemployed persons carried by storm butchers' and bakers' shops in the Koepenik and Frankfurter quarters of the city, smashing windows and looting the shops of their contents. The police made repeated charges upon these disturbers of the peace, and were engaged in various conflicts with them until the mob finally dispersed.

More Trouble Looked For.

The riot is almost the only thing talked about and is looked upon as a sort of reply upon the part of the people to the emperor's remarks made to the "loyal IJrandeuburgers" Wednesday, suggesting that tintented should leave tic «o The ice. it is admitted. Ve'-ii broken and the socialist letuu is unsaid to be preparing fur a monster demonstration in the near future. The general! opinion is that the real struggle between the so-called socialists and the government is about to begin, the sigual for it having been given February 4, when it was' announced that no member of the socialist party had been invited to the reception given by the emperor to the chamber of deputies, while no discrimination was made against other delegates, though many of thorn were known to be bitterly opposed to certain government measures. It was then said that the emperor and Chancellor von Caprivi took this step in order to indicate their resentment of the determined opposition offered by the socialist delegates to the education bill. lllHmurrk In t.lie OpiKittHlon.

Emperor William's spcech at Brandenburg ..excites political circles, oeing held by some that a dangerous crisis is inevitable. It is reported that when the sectarian education bill in tho Prussian diet reaches theOberhaus. l'rlnce llismarck, at the head of the strongest party ever known in Germany, will oppose the government

The Vassischo Zeitutig observes that

THE DAILY JOURNAL

if all the discontented left the country as advised to do by the emperor in his Brandenburg speech the adherents of Prince liisiuarek would be included among those departing. The Vussiscltc article adds "The great employers of labor who are dissatisfied with the labor laws and the agriculturists injured through the new commercial treaties would also go. Nobody would be left but the Catholics."

The Tageblatt. reminds Germans that the "constitution concedes to every one liberty to express his opinion."

The socialist journal, the Vortwarts, says it declines, for socialists, "the emperor's invitation to emigrate." adding: "The emperor would rule over a desert if all malcontents left bis dominions."

What. They lrmninl.

During the passage of the workingmen through the. streets dodgers outlining the platform of the German socialist party were freely distributed among the people. This platform is as follows: 1. Universal suffrage without itisttncilon ot sex for all subjects of tlie empire over .M yours of ago direct elections by the people liy Hceref ballot the principal of One man one vote," awl biennial parliaments. 2. The direct participation of the people in legislation, with the is-lil to initiate or rejeet laws, and the annual revision of the scale ot taxation. 3. A wide extension of the principle of local government and the election of ail public o!«clals by the people, to whom such onlciais an to be held resimnslblc. 4. 'J'he training of the people in arms, so us lo form a national defense to tahc the place of a standing army. 5. The decision of !V!\ee nr war to rest with the representatives of the people international disputes to be decided by arbitration. (J.

SPELLING REFORM.

Coii^reHM Aftlel to 1'asn a I.aw Creating New Alphabet. WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Congressman Durburow (111.) has introduced in the house a memorial praviug congress to adopt a national alphabet for phonetic spelling. The originator of the alphabet- which is recommended for adop tion is Mr, ,lohn M. Mott, of 40J0 Rllis avenue, Chicago, and the memorial is signed by all of the Chicago type founders and by the manager ol the only New York house at Chicago. The memorial differs from the many other similar applications which have been made to congress iu the fact that no appropriation is asked. All that it asks is that congress adopt as the American alphabet a fnil phonetic alphabet, recommend its use by the people of the United States and direct the public printer to use the alphabet approved by congress in all government printing. Mr. Jlott's alphabet contains thirty-one letters, twenty-four of which are the same as those used in the present mode of spelling.

WORKMEN HORRIBLY MANGLED.

An Kxplosion Near Lliibon Kills a Number of Men, LISBON, Feb. 20.—An explosion occurred to-day in a quarry located but a short distuncc from the royal palace of Ajuda. There were quite a number of men working in the quarry at the time. The explosion rent huge masses of rocks from the side of the pit and tumbled them down upon the men below. Four workmen were horribly mangled and fifteen others are supposed to be buried beneath the debris. KfTorts are being made to rescue them.
