THE EMPEROR WAS SEVERELY INJURED Attack on German Ruler by an
 Epieptic STRUCK ON RIGHT CHEEK Wound Is Not serious-The Act of Ir- responsible Man-Messages of Coincidence and Sympathy
 Pour Into Berlin.
STRUCK ON RIGHT CHEEK

Berlin, March 7.-Emperor William ar rived here at s o'clock this morning The Empress and Count Buelow met him at the station. When they reached the cas- tie, Professor Bergman visited the Elm peror. His majesty has abandoned his intention of visiting the riding class of the officers of thf Potsdam cavalry regi- msnt.
 In the attack upon Emperor William by Dietrich Weiland, while the former was driving from the Rathskeller to the railway station the Emperor was struck on the cheek just below the right eye. He was not seriously injured and refrained from commenting upon the subject. The Burgomaster, who accompanied mem Der of the staff to the station, pointed out that his majesty's cheek was bleed ing.
 The assailant of Emperor William in trying to escape fell under the horses of the escort riding behind the carriage. The members of the escort handed the man over to the police.
 During an examination at the town hall, the assailant of the Emperor suffered 1IO1u SeNtIdl epllcpiiC ltss LAA AAi6 eAS AAA- tervals between these attacks he replied to several questions, but did not give out any important information. The motive of the outrage was evident when the pock- cts of the prisoner were searched, medi- cine found in the pockets showing that he had been a chronic sufferer from epi- leptic fits.
 Nothing new was discovered in connec- tion with the examination of Weiland. Weiland apparently pretends to be weak minded.
 After the surgeons visit to his majesty a bulletin was issued follows: 'The wound is in the right cheek and about an inch and a half long. It passes over the zygoma and penertates to the bone. It has the character of a confused wound There has been much bleeding but the wound has been closed with bandaging without sewing. The Emperor passed fairly good night; is free from headache, and his general condition is good.
 'LDUTHOLD,
 "BERGMANN,
 "ILBERG."
 The Emperor has been obliged to forego his projected visit to Koenigsberg.
 Count von Batstreem, president of the Reichstag, in communicating to that body today the news of the attack on Emperor William, expressed, in behalf of the House. the horror felt at the abominable act, thanked God for having preserved the Emperor and the country from a grievous misfortune, and prayed that their beloved monarch might soon be re- stored to health and that God would keep His Majesty under His protection
 The members of the Reichstag in at tendance stood during the presidents speech The Social Democrats were not present.
 In the lower house of the Prussian Diet the president, Herr von Kroecher, an nouneed that the Emperor's wound was not serious, but that he would be obliged to keep his bed for a few days. The presi- dent also expressed horror at the damna- ble act and called for three hooks for His Majesty, which were given with enthusi- asm.
 Emperor William received Chancellor Count von Buelow in audience at noon today.

NUMEROUS INQUIRIES
Pour Into Berlin-Calm Comments In
 the Press.

Berlin, March .7-Inquiries. congratula- tions and condolences poured in through cut the day from the whole diplomatic corps including the United States em- bassy, as we'll as from many thousands of Germans, including the municipalities of Berlin, Charlottenburg, Potsdam and Kneigsburg.
 The opinion prevails that the Emperor will suffer much pain and probably some fever and inflammation for the next few days, and that 1t will require at least a fortnight before the wound Is healed Prof. VanBergman has ordered the rooms, in which the Emperor Is to be kept, darkened, because the eye may be affected. The Alsatian Diet unanimously resolved to send the Emperor congrat- ulatory telegram.
 A reporter of the Associated Press spoke today with several highly placed members of the Kajsers entourage, who expressed the opinion that the prevailing system of police surveillance over the Emperor was inefficient and nsedlessiy on erous to him, and that hereafter he would insist upon the public being entrusted with large share in preventing such outrages as that of last night, which. If one of the surrounding police had been quick and intelligent, would not have oc- cured, or if the sight seeing public had had free hand would have nipped it in the bud.
 The Empress received a terrible ner- vous shock on learning of the attack at midnight.
 The German press today calmly com ments upon the event. The only paper which has thus far endeavored to incul- pate the Socialists is the Deutsoher Tages Zeitung, which claims that Weiland had become crazed with subversive literature.

 The law to increase the public school term to five months and to make the schools absolutely free for that time, was the most important one created by the Legfsla ture. It was introduced on the sec o1ld day of the session, and had a rough time all along the route. The House passed it on the third day of the last ses- sion and it went to the Senate. The Sen- ate committee on education held it un- til few days before the adjournment, and it was passed by that body after g o'clock on the last night of the session. l think this bill was the last one signed by the Governor and I know he has not signed one more far reaching in its effects or one that will do him more honor This law Is pre-eminently one for the benefit of the people.
