MovEMENT-THE INNKEEPER MISTAKEN FOR
THE ASSASSIN.
The Emperor William continues to make
steady progress toward recovery, although
apprehensiOns exist that on account of his
great age a reaction might set in were the
physicians to attempt to extract the pei
lets still lodged in his wrist. 1t has
been ascertained that Nobiling was a pro-
nOunced Democrat and was in correspond
ence with Germans holding like opinions
in London. His examination has been sus-
pended owing to his feeble condition. It
is stated on good authority that he
admitted to the police that he was a member
of conspiracy, and that it devolved on him,
by lot to assassinate the Emperor. He re-
fuses to name his accOmplices. The
probability of Regency is mentioned.
The Pope has sent sympathetic message to
the Emperor, and advises the Catholic clergy
in Germany to oppose Socialism.

FEvER-A GREAT CROWD NEAR THE PALACE.

ing During the day be has repeatedly slept calmly
and taken nOurishment with some appetite.
THE PHYSICIANS ACTING CAUTIOUSLY.
LONDON, Tuesday, June 4, 1879.
The official accounts Of the Emperors condition
continue favorable. The German Embassy here has
received telegram stating that the Emperor feels
much less pain The doctors thought it unnecessary
to publish bulletin at o'clock this evening, as
the patients condition was unchanged since the is-
suance of the bulletin this morning. There are, of
course apprehenslons about the strength of one
aged as the Emperor to rally from such shock. It
is this account that the physicians have not at
tempted to extract the remaining pellets, which are
lodged close to artery in the wrist, fearing I'M
fammatiOn and also that further loss Of blood
would occasion serious enteeblement. The Crown
Prince and Princess visit the Emperor hourly.
