A Berlin dispatch dated June Sd.
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 rs 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 wound
ed by the first fire, thirty small slugs
entering his body, chiefly lodging in
his arms and face. The most danger
GUS wound of all is in the wrist near
to the main artery, and from it the
Emperor lost much blood. The car
rage containing the Emperor was
turned Immediately and was driven to
the palace, the chasseur who had
SO CALAMITY risked his life for
his sovereign supporting the wonnd-
ed Emperor in his arms. Having
entered the courtyard, the carriage
stopped before the main entrance, and
the Emperor was then conveyed to his
apartme nts and to bed. Her 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 condi.
ton very dangerous. The surgeons ex-
tracted the shot and slugs from the En-
peror's body. He was in great pain.
but did not lose consciousness at any
time. After the wounds had:been dressed

beaten down he defended himself with
revolver, shooting the proprietor Of
the house, and then, seeing that re-
sistance was useless, he attempted
suicide by placing the pistol to his
head. The ball inflicted q painful but
not mortal scalp wound, and he was
overpowered and conveyed to the near
est Police Hospital. 1t was with great
difficulty that the police and military
officers who accompanied the culprit
could keep the crowd from the prisoner
Shouts and curses greeted his appear
ance on the sidewalk, and vast throng
ran after the cab into which he was
hurried. The name Of the assassin is
Karl Edouard Modelling, aged 80 years,
originally from Dresden, but Tor some
time a resident of Berlin, where he has
been acting as the editor of q radical
socialistic journal.
