THE KAISER'S WOUNDS
The Subject Of Numerous Cable BulIe-
tins-ThOugh Net OF Dangerous
Character, yet the Cause OF
No Little Anxiety TO
his People.
The SeIf-W Ounded Assassin in Too Pre-
cariOus a Condition TO Admit OF
ExaminatiOn-He Admits his
Sympathy with the So
eialists, but Gives
No Names.

BERLIN, June 4.-Late last night thou
sands of people thronged the neiRhborhood
of the palace, waiting for the bulletins of the
emperor's condition. The space from Char
lottenoshrass to the palace of the Crown
Prince was kept clear by the police, to insure
perfect quiet. Their services were scarcely
necessary, as the crowd was quiet and patient
to a degree. 1t seems that after the shoot
ing of the emperor, on Sunday, when the en-
ragged populace broke into Noblings apart
ment he fired vice at them, severely wound
ing Holtfener, an inn-keeper. The crowd,
seeing him bleeding, supposed he was the
assassin, and fell upon him, and he was so
roughly handled before the people discovered
their mistake that his life is despaired of. At
ter the second shot Nobling shot himself.
He was instantly seized and placed in the
prison van. AS the driver passed rapidly
through the archway at the entrance of the
house, his head struck the arch with such Vi
olence that his neck was dislocated, he dying
almost instantly.
The examination of Nobling cannot be con-
tinued on account Of his precarious condition.
Dr. Nobling admitted his earnest sympathy
with 1.-The ultramontanes and socialists; had
accomplices, and though he had no reason to
spare them, he would mention no names just
then. The Office of shooting the emperor de-
volved upon him by the drawing of lots, and
he believed that 1t would be to the public in
terest were the head of the state to be re-
moved. The town continues in a state of the
greatest excitement and of affection. The
crime will produce grave consequences.
FREE FROM PAIN.
The official bulletin, issued at ten o'clock
tonight, says the emperor has been free
from pain this evening. During the day he
has repeatedly slept calmly, and taken nour-
ishment with some appetite.
THE EMPEROR ABLE TO BE MOVED ABOUT.
The emperor was able to be removed to
another bed to-day. The police have made
domiciliary visits to the residences of Schap-
ria, Rackouse, Most and Auer, editors of the
socialist Berlin Free Press, and confscated
various documents. Search is proceeding at
Ebenfeld for workmen who, on Sunday
morning last, stated that an attempt to as
sassinate the emperor would be made that
evening.
HIS CONDITION CONTINUES FAVORABLE.
LONDON, June 4.-The official accounts of
the emperors condition continue favorable.
The German embassy here has received a
telegram stating that the emperor feels much
less pain. The doctors Thought it unneces-
sary to publish bulletin at FIVE o'clock this
evening, az the patients condition YVES I'M
changed since the issuance of the bulletin
this morning. There are, of course, appre-
tensions about the strength of one so aged
as the emperor rallying from such a shock.
1t is on this account that the physicians have
not attempted to extract the remaining pei
lets. which are lodged close to an artery In
the wrist, fearing Inflammation, and also that
further loss of blood would occasion serious
enfeeblement. The crown prince and prin
cess visit the emperor hourly.
