ASSASSINATION OF EMPEROR
WIIIIAM

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF EMPEROR
WILLIAM.
A Berlin dispatch dated June 3rd,
SAYS, yesterday afternoon the Emperor
William was driving down Inter den
Linden toward the Thiergarten. When
opposite No. Is in the great avenue
two shots were fired at him from a
second story window. As soon as the
first report was heard, chasseuer, who
was sitting on the box with the coach
man, sprang into the vehicle and threw
himself over the Emperor, SO that the
slugs from the second shot touched
only the arm Of the Emperor.
His Majesty was, however, badly
wounded by the first fire, thirty small
slugs entering his body, chiefly lodging
in his arms and face. The most dan
gerous wound of all is i'll the wrist near
to the main artery, and from it the
Emperor lost much blood. The car
riage containing the Emperor was
turned Immediately and was driven to
the palace, the chasseur who had
SO gallantly risked his life for
his sovereign supporting the wound
ed Emperor in his arms. Having
entered the courtyard the carriage
stopped before the main entrance, and
the Emperor was then conveyed to his
apartments and to bed. Herr Wins,
an eminent surgeon, was at once sum-
moned, and, after consulting with sew
eral other physicians, declared that the
slug wound in the wrist was very serious,
and that the great loss of blood had al
ready rendered the Emperor's condition
very dangerous. The surgeons extract
ed the shot and slugs from the Emper-
ors body. He was in great pain, but did
not lose consciousness at any time. AT
ter the wounds had been dressed
the Emperor was ordered to be kept
very quiet. Meanwhile, terrible scenes
were taking place in Unter den Linden.
Immediately after the shots were fired
a great crowd gathered before the house
No. Is, and a desperate assault upon

THE latest advices from Europe show
conclusively that the great difficulties
between England and Russia have been
adjusted, and the prospectus good for
an early and permanentpeace through
out Europe. The place for holding the
congress of the great powers is to be
Berlin. The invitations to the powers
will soon be sent out and the congress
will assemble at once. The Russian
government submits all the points of the
San Stefano treaty to the congress; but
all the fruits of her victory over Turkey
are to be conceded. The Christians of
Turkey are to be guaranteed immunity
from the Bashi Bazouks. The province
of Bulgaria where most of the Christians
are will not be wholly under control of
the Constantinope government in fu-
ture,

TuE CHICAGO BOARD of Trade

TIE Chicago Board of Trade, at
meeting last week, adopted Il resolution
deprecating The proposed reduction of
the army, which has been forwarded to
congress. The resolution states that
the army, if reduced, will be unable to
protect the frontiers from the depreda-
tions Of hostile Indians and the lawless
element along the Mexican border, and
that the labor riots of last year have
impressed the country with the neces-
sity of having an ample army, discon-
nected in sympathy from the instiga-
tion of such riotous proceedings, able
to maintain order and enforce obedi-
ence to law To accomplish this result
congress is petitioned to increase the
army to 100 regiments of 1000 men
each.

Paving for the Riots.

The suit for damages of Gibson, Son
& Co. VS.. Allegheny county, growing
out Of the destruction by the mob, dur
ing the riots at Pittsburg last summer.
oil merchandise and other property, was
concluded III the Beaver county court
on Wednesday by a verdict for plaintiffs.
A number of offers were submitted by
counsel for defence, to allow the admis-
sion of evidence proving the Pennsyl-
vania Rail- Dad Company guilty of i'm
proper conduct in the course taken to
subdue the riot, and that their action in
regard to the reduction of wages, &C..
was the proximate cause of the destruc-
ton of property, and the company was
therefore liable for losses. Objections
for this were taken by counsel for plain
tiff, which were sustained by the court
after long discussion on each point
The evidence in the case of Gibson &
Co. was then admitted to the balance of
the cases, and the jury charged to rend-
er a verdict for plaintiffs in amounts
claimed, which they did. The cases
will be taken in the supreme court

THE BLOODY COMMUNE.
Money Enough to Equip an Army--A
Battery of Six Guns and Four Com
panieS of Cavalry Made Ready to Meet
thp RiOtprS
Chicago Times, May 9th.


The formidable rumors which have
prevailed for some weeks past regarding
an uprising of the commune have caus-
ed all thoughtful people to consider
what means of defense are within reach
and what could be accomplished in case
of an extended riot. A movement was
started four days ago, which has already
assumed definite shape, the purpose of
which Is to complete the equipment of
all the militia commands III the city
and provide other measures for defense.
This has been done quietly, and not so
much through fear of a demonstration
on the part of the red element, but to
guard against trouble in any form. The
evidences of coming trouble in all the
other western cities has done much to-
ward causing the citizens to inaugurate
the present movement.
The first step was to forward the forma-
ton of a battery of artillery. Six guns
have already been ordered from New
York. Four of these pieces will be
twelve-pOunders, one Il three-inch Ma
pOleOn, and one three-inch rifle. With
the exception Of the rifle, the others
will be brass pieces. They will be
placed under the care of Capt. Tobey,
az experienced artilieryman, vino will
at once organize company of men to
handle them. The equipment of the
battery is to be made complete with the
exception of horses, and the fire depart
ment will be drawn upon for sufficient
number of animals in case Of necess-
slty.
The committee has also arranged for
the full equipment of the four COM
panies of cavalry recently organized in
this city. The necessary orders were
sent to New York three days ago for Il
sufficient number of revolvers, swords,
saddles, brides and saddle-cloths to
equip two hundred men, and the vari-
Gus articles are expected to arrive with
in week. In addition to this suffi-
cicnt amount has been subscribed to
purchase fatigue caps and blouses for
the men. This will complete the equip
ment, and should make them capable
of performing good service if called up
on. In addition to this large number
of breech-loading Springfield rifles have
been ordered, which are also expected
to arrive within a week

The movement of grain from the
west to the south and east continues to
AK to the utmost all the transportation
routes. From st. Louis immense guam
titles of wheat and corn are shipped
down the Mississippi river to New
Orleans and from thence it goes abroad.
Chicago received and shipped over a
million bushels of grain on the 2Sth
ult., the largest amount ever before re-
ceived and shipped in one day, by that
or any other city in the world.

WAR brings out the devil in man,
wakes up the hellish legion within his
fallen nature, and binds his better facul-
ties hand and foot Its natural ten
dency is to hurl nations back into bar
barism, and retard the growth of every
thing good and holy. When undertaken
from a dire necessity, as the last re-
sources of an oppressed people, it may
become heroic. and its after results may
compensate for its immediate evils; but
war wantonly undertaken, for self-in-
terest, ambition or wounded pride, is
evil, only evil, and that continually
