letins published in regard to the at
tempted assassination OF the emper-
or: Modelling fred twice with
double -barreled gun. The emperor

his face, head. both arms and back
but this evening his general condl
tion had improved. Immense crowds
from all parts OF the city thronged
into avenue Unter der Linden npon
the news becoming known. The as
sassiu is Carl Edward Modelling, ma
tive of Lolleno, near Birnesoum,
aged %: is o resident OF Berlin, q
doctor of philolegy. and habituate
of democratic socialistic clubs. A
quantity of arms was found IN his
appartments. He fired on the per
sons attempting to arrest him with
a revolver, and then inflicted severe
wound on his own head. He con-
fesses his CRIME but ebstinately re-
fuses to state his motive. He is at
the hospital station of the Molken'
marke police district, attended by
his mother and daughters.
A later telegram says Modelling
confessed he cherished murderous
designs for eight days. because he
considered the emperor's removal
would be a public benefit. He de-
clared he favored socialism and had
attended socialistic meetings. Some
accounts gay Modelling is supposed
to be dying. 1t was known for days
that Modelling unsuccessfully ap-
piled for government employment.
The condition of the emperor con-
tinues satisfactory. The effect of
the news that another attempt had
been made on the life OF the emperor
was astounding. Outbursts of pub
lie feeling went far beyond manifes-
tations made on the previous occas-
ion, as Nobeling's attempt exceeded
that of Hoedel, in the seriousness
of its result. A vast crowd assem-
bled around thu palace and forced
its way into the building. 1t only
dispersed on receiving satisfactory
news of the emperor's condition,
and warning that their loyal mani
festations might aggrivate the suf-
fering from his wounds. An official
bulletin issued from the palace at
$50 this forenoon, reports that the
emperor passed quiet night. The
pain from his wounds has been ille-
waited. Physicians consider his con-
dition satisfactory.
The spot where the emperor was
shot is almost FIVE minutes walk from
the scene of Hoedel's attempt. DR.
