phone was disconnected, and very little In
formation was given out by those who
had charge of the door. One or another
of the surgeons was in constant attend
ance during the day, and the injured
mans wounds were frequently dressed.
The medical men were gratifed yestel-
day to find that so far there was no in
dication of inflammation or blood poisoning
At no time since the shooting has the
wounded man lost consciousness from
pain.
About 1 o'clock DR.. Litchheld dressed
the cuts made by Berkman's dagger. Thehe
are no less than six of these cuts of greater
or lesser degree. In addition to the two
serious ones on the right side, there was a
deep one in the calf of the left leg which
was not discovered till Mr.. Frick was utl-
dressed at home. This wound was made.
Mr.. Frick thought, when he tried to force
Berkmann against the wall while he tried
to disarm him. Besides this there are two
long cuts on the upper part of the left leg
and slight cut on the right hip.
There has been and is a good deal of talk
and speculation regarding the possible
effect of the shooting upon the manage
ment and affairs of the Carnegie Com
pany as we'll as upon the Homestead and
kindred strikes. In this connection a
gentleman who stands very close to the
corporation, and who knows whereof he
speaks from his long intimacy with Mr.
Frick, said this morning, $50 long as Mr.
Frick retains possession of his faculties
there will be no necessity for a temporary
chairman or even for the vice chairman to
assume control. Mr. Frick, on his back
to-day, is the same Mr.. Frick that sat i'm
his revolving chair in his Office Saturday
morning. Every detail of every section
of the gigantic interests under his care ara
at his fingers ends, and the corporation
will be run from his sick room with the
same promptitude and same unerrin o
judgment, the same instantaneous grasn
of the situation the same autocracy that
has always distinguished him. This was
evidenced Saturday by his pluck in insist
ing that the surgeons should stop probing
for the bullets in order that he might an
pend his signature to important docu-
ments, as well as by his action in calling
all his head men into the Office and giving
them instructions for to-days work.
GAS to the Homestead strike, am CON
fdent that this affair will not change his
policy one iota. He will go ON the path
he has laid out, although it may be
necessary to call in others to do work that,
under different circumstances, he would
have done himself"
The would-be murderer, Alexander
Berkmann, spent last night in cell No. 4
of the Central Station, and, awakening
bright and early, asked for some break
fast, particularly requesting that it
should include some eggs. A good meal
was given him, and after cleaning the
plates he put ON a clean, laundered shirt,
and standup collar and light tie, then
he lit a cigarette. He smokes necessarily.
One of his first questions to the guard
was concerning the condition Of Mr. trick
and when told that he was doing very well,
shrugged his shoulders and said that he
had nothing to say. Presently he asked
what the people, laying stress upon this
| point that he did not mean the newsba-
pers, thought of the affair. On being told
that it was the general opinion that ne had
no ground for his action, he replied ener-
getically; can the people will soon think
as | do. They say | am against the law,
but / say that man was against the law.
He was against the people, and when he
is against the people he is against the
State and therefore against the law.
he refused TO say whether he was an
Anarchist, or having known Herr Most,
and laughed heartily when asked if he had
lived on 42d street in New York. why.
am not rich enough to live there, he
said. IAN rich peOple--the big men live
there. / do not belong 70 thern." He
