[By Telegraph to the Evening Journall
PITTsBURa, Pa, July 25-Chairman
Henry c. Frick of the Carnegie Company
\ aid not come down to his Office, as he
iokingly assured his associates that he
would when he was carried to the am
bulance on Saturday night. Nor is it
Il probable that he will be seen at his desk
for many months to come. Reports from
& his residence this morning are to the
effect that he passed restful night, de-
spite the closeness of the atmosphere
His extraordinary vitality was strisingly
demonstrated yesterday, for, although it
was the hottest day that Pittsburg has
experienced in nearly ten years, his
wounds gave him apparently little
trouble and mentally he was bright and
active.
His wounds were examined and dressed
this morning, but there were not the faint
est traces of blood poisoning or of any
greater amount of inflammation than
would be expected under the circum-
stances, and results of the examination
were decidedly encouraging, both to his
Il surgeons and their patient After the
examination Mr.. Frick asked for the
morning papers and read with interest
the accounts of the movements of the
would-be assassin during Sunday and
the interviews had with him.
As TO the future of the sufferer the sur
geons say that il will not be possible for
him to leave his bed even to walk about
the room for month or six weeks at
the earliest. It may be longer but unless
blood poisoning, or some other unlocked
for development should supsrvene, they
believe that he will improve rapidly and
recover completely. They are particu-
larly concerned about the gashes on the
knee. which were made by the assail-
ants knife. These almost severed the
tendons and will occasion excruciating
pains at intervals for many weeks to
come,
Although the corps of surgeons take
turns in attendance upon the wounded
man. they include the most eminent
skill in the city. It was decided last
night to telegraph to an eminent Ne v
York specialist, asking him to come her,
at once to make a personal examination
of the patient aud advise concerning the
treatment This morning, however, a
reply was received that the specialist il
question had gone to California. and
thereupon it was decided to seek the aiC
of another noted surgeon who is al
present in Washington.
The fact has been developed that Oi
Saturday Mr.. Frick received in his morn
ing mail a letter which informed hin
that he would die before the next day
He passed it over to one of his associate
with a joking remark: Il have bu
twenty-four hours to live" Afterward
he placed the missive in one of tn
pigeon holes in his desk. He referred t

however. to have any connection wit
Berkman's action.
The would-be assassin was quietl
taken last night from Central station
the county Jail where he will renal

booked for felOnOus assault, the max
mum penalty for which is but seve
years, but other charges are to be added

Berkman was not his right name, a
though he had borne it since his arriv,
in this country but the closest question
ing could not induce him to reveal th
name by which he was known in his M
tive land.
There is a good deal of mystery sun
rounding his recent movements. At th
time of his arrest he said he had con
