Another Dastardly Attempt
to Assassinate Emperor
William, of Ger
many.
A Number of Shots Take Effect in His
Head and Arm.
His Wonidbe Assassin Attempts to Commit
suicide, and IL Reported Dead.

DEHLIN, June j. wv nile the LIN
peror was taking drive this after
noon some shots. apparently pro-
ceeding from a house in the Avenue
Utter der Linden, were fired at him.
The Emperor was wounded in one
arm and on the cheek by buckshot
and small shot. The would-be as
sassin is DR.. Modelling, occupying
apartments at No. Is U.er der Lin
den. When his door was forced
open he fired upon and wounded the
hotel-keepcr and
TRIED TO COMMIT SUICIDE,
but was secured. The Emperor's
personal attendant jumped into the
carriage and supported the Emperor
until the carriage reached the pal
ace. The Emperor was conveyed to
bed and several grains of shot ex.
tracted, causing great loss of blood.
The Emperor suffered great pain,
but never lost consciousness. At Z
o'clock this evening no serious ap-
prehensions were felt as to his con-
dition.
BERLIN, June 3.-The condition
of the Emperor continues satisfac-
tory. The effect of the news that
another attempt had been made on
the life of the Emperor was astound-
ing. The outburst of public feeling
went as far beyond the manifesta-
tions made on the previous occasion,
as Nobeling's attempt exceeded that
of Hoedel in the success of it's re-
suits. A vast crowd sembled
around the palace and forced its way
into the building, and it only dis
persed on receiving satisfactory
news of the Emperor's condition
and warning that their loyal mani
festations might aggravate the suf-
fering from his wounds.
Modelling was formerly in the
civil service of the kingdom of Sax
ony. He was regular contributor
to the agricultural journals, and
seems to have been in easy circum-
stances. He studied agriculture and
finance in Halle and Lelpsic.
DIR. Modelling came to Berlin a few
weeks ago from Halle. He hired a
furnished room on the second floor
of No. Is Utter der Linden, from the
window of which the shot was fired.
DIR. Modelling cannot recover fro al
the injuries he inflicted on himself at
the time of his arrest. He said he
had accomplices in the crime.
BERLIN, June 3.-An official bull
letin, issued from the palace at $50
this morning, reports that the EN-
peror passed a quiet night. The
pain from his wounds has been allie.
viatcd The physicians consider his
ondition satisfactory.
DIR. Modelling is neither a Socialist
nor an UItramontane out is Prot
estant of good family and fair means.
His brothers are officers in the army.
DIR. Modelling admits that his plan
had been formed for long time.
He had accomplices who had been in
communication with him on the sab
ject for six months.
THE EMPERoR's CONDITION.
LONDON, June 3.-The official bul-
letins issued from he royal palace
at Berlin up to midnight in reference
to the condition OF the Emperor are
more satisfactory. Some of the
shots in the arm have not yet been
extracted. The doctors have decid.
ed to leave them TO work their way
out, for fear of causing infamma-
tions. The statements made relative
to DR.. Nobeling's confession are con-
Trajectory. Specials alIege that No
being owned having been selected
by lot drawn by the conspirators to
shoot the Emperor.
A dispatch from Berlin says a re-
port is current there that DR.. Nobel
inc is dead.
