BERLIN, June 3.-At 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon the Emperor William was driving
down Unter Den Linden, toward the Thicr-
garten. When opposite No. 10, in that
great avenue, two shots were fired at him
from a second-story window. As soon as
the first report was heard, a chasseur, who
was sitting on the box with the coachman,
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 badly
wounded by the first fire, thirty small slugs
entering his body, chiefly lodging in his
arms and face. The most dangerous wound
of all is in the wrist, and from it the En-
peror lost much blood. The carriage con-
tanning the Emperor was turned immedi-
ately and was driven to the Palace, the
chasseur who had so gallantly risked his
life for his sovereign supporting the
wounded Emperor in his arms.
Having entered the courtyard, the car
riage stopped before the main entrance, and
the Emperor was then conveyed to his apart
ments and to bed. Herr Wilmens, an emf
nent surgeon, was at once summoned, and,
after consulting with several other physi-
clans, declared that the slug wound in the
wrist was very serious and that the great
loss of blood had already rendered the En-
peror's condition very dangerous. The sur
geons extracted the shot and siugs from the
Emperor body. He was in great pain, but
did not lose consciousness at any time
After 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 building took
place. The people followed the police into
the house and up the stairs, to the door of
the room in which was the assassin. The
man had barrcaded the door, and when it
was beaten down he defended himself with
a revolver, shooting the proprietor of the
house. and then, seeing that resistance was
useless, he attempted suicide by placing the
pistol to his head.
The ball inflicted painful but not NOR
tai scalp-wound, and he was overpowered
and conveyed to the nearest police hospi-
tai.
1t was with difficulty that the police and
military officers who accompanied the cul-
prit could keep the crowd from the pris-
oner. Shots and curses greeted his ap-
pearance on the sidewalk, and vast throng
ran after the cab into which he was hur-
ried. The name of the assassin is Karl Ed
ward Nobling, aged thirty years, orig
inally from Dresden, but for some time a
resident of Berlin where he has been act
ing as the editor of radical Socialistic
journal.
The Emperor William was resting qui-
city at last accounts. UP till the hour of
sending this dispatch great, silent throng
has been standing before the palace, wait
ing for the hourly bulletins that are sent
out announcing the Emperors condition.
PROGRESSING FAvoRABLY.
BERLIN June 3.-Dr Nobling, the would
be assassin of Emperor William, is jour
nalist, aged thirty years, and has attended
the meetings of the Socialistic Club in this
city. Nearly the whole of Berlin tiocked
towards the Imperial Palace last night, but
refrained from any noisy demonstrations
when told that the Emperor wanted rest
and quiet. The Emperor has preserved en-
tire consciousness throughout the night and
is progressing very favorably considering

body.

Nobling is supposed to be dying.

An examination shows that none of the
arteries of the wrist were severed, though
the missiles are in dangerous proximity to
the main artery.
The Emperor is able TO talk comfortably
and is cheerful. The fever which had been
apprehended has not appeared, and his ply
sicians consider his progress satisfactory and
encouraging.
The excitement throughout Germany over
the attempted assassination of His Majesty
is unabated. All the Prussian royalty are
fastening to Berlin to personally express to
the Emperor their sympathies over the at
tempt upon his life, and congratulations on
his escape from death. The would-be assas-
sin, Noblng, in his examination, confessed
to being Socialist, and said he intended to
assassinate the Emperor week ago, as he
inferred it would promote the welfare of
the State if the Emperor was killed.
Nobling will die of his injuries, The
physician says he will not probably survive
forty-eight hours.
