ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
Bold Attack ON a Watchman of a I
Street-Car House.

boid ACtack on Watchman of a
Street-Car House.
SAN Francisco, March 9.-This morn
ing at $3.50 O'Clock the watchman at the
Haight-street car-house, at the terminus
OF the road on Stanyan street, was busily
engaged in the Office cleaning the lamps,
which is part of his duty, when he was
surprised by hearing knock at the door.
He didn't open, but called out, asking
what was wanted.
a mans voice replied: "We have had
. an accident. Our carriage is broken and
we would like to borrow a monkey
wrench to fix it with. There are some
ladies in the carriage and theyare scared
to death.''
The watchman's suspicion was aroused,
and he refused to open the door. "You
can't get any monkey wrench here" he
said, and went on with his work. At in
teryalS he noticed shadows passing the
window. Suddenly he heard the sound
OF breaking glass, and turning round
saw the muzzle of q SiX-shooter pointed
at him.
What do you want?'' he asked.
"We want you," was the reply, accom-
panied by a bullet.
The Watchman, who was armed, drew
his pistol and returned the fire. All at
once shooting began in another quarter,
and turning around he saw gun stick
ing through another window. He retreat
ed from the cross fire and got behind the
cars. The men on the outside emptied
their weapons at him, and he returned the
fire until there were no more cartridges
in his revolver. Then he sneaked around
back of the cars and got another revolver.
In the meantime number of conductors
and gripmen who live in the vicinity,
awakened by the shooting, rushed out,
1t was only miracle that prevented some
body from being seriously hurt in the
melee. About thirty shots were fired,
and for time the neighborhood was in
state of terror and excitement. 1t is not
believed that either Of the two men who
began the shooting was hurt.

THE PASSPORT DECREE.
LONDON, March "a Times Berlin
correspondent makes a long statement
claiming to represent Emperor Williams
reasons for his passport decree. The cor

Emperor was misinformed as to the state
of affairs brought about by his mothers
sojourn in Paris.
The correspondent says: 1.-The courtesy
he the Emperer) sought to establish was
merely that of combatants politely bow
ing before crossing swords. He never
had an idea that reconciliation was possi-
bic, but from the moment his action was
interpreted as a sign of weakness by a
handful of howling dervishes who sue
ceeded in making the whole nation giddy,
it was his duty to resume dignity as the
head OF the German nation.
1T was not the Emperor's business to
look TOR the motives of these outbursts.
The measure is merely temporary RAM
part, behind which he can safely await a
not distant day when the opinion of the
French people will pass Judgment on
these useless indications. Then, when
the French people have recovered their
independent spirit, will the barriers be
again lowered.''
