IMPETUS GIVEN TO MUSIC.
Coed Results Expected From the
Late Inauguration Concerts.

Music and song are important factors
in every public function, and the immense
number of people that went 10 the Pen
sion Building to listen 10 the Inaugural
grand concerts during the last two days
would seem TO prove that leve Of good
music is rapidly becoming one Of the
characteristics Of the american people
1t is estimated that the concerts given
a the Pension Building were attended by
81 900 persons. and already the seed that
was sown by the chorus of 800 voices. the
Republican Glee Club. of Columbus, Ohio.
and the William Conueu Anthracite Giee
Club, is beginning to bear fruit
1t was said at the Pension Building last
night that q movement had been set on
foot in this city 10 combine the various
political and musical organizations in this
city and form a Glee Club similar to that
of the Republican Glee ClSlb, of Columbus.
Ohio
Another result Of the Inauguration con-
certs is the expressed desire OF the Inau-
guTatiOn chorus not TO disband. but 10
continue as such an organtza ton and offer
its services at great public ceremonies In
the future The Inauguration concerts
have given a great and lasting impetus to
music and song cultivating societies and
institutions.

WOUNDIHG OF THE KAISER
Excitement in Berlin Over the In

viii Have to Remain in Bed Sew
eraI Days-OGender an EpiEeptic.

BERLIN. March THE woundzng of
Emperor William al Bremen yesterday
has caused considerable excitement here
today, and several conflicting reports are
in CIRCULATION The story from Bremen
is that while the kaiser was driving from
the Rathskeller to the railway station a
nan threw piece Of iron into his car
Tiage, the missile striking the German
sovereign on the cheek.
The Kaiser drove on without stopping.
The man who threw the iron was ar
rested and gave the name of Diedrich
Weiland- lie is said to be an epiieptic.
and answers the questions put 10 him in
an incoherent manner
In the Prussian Chamber of Deputies,
the lower house of the Diet, this morn
iHg, the President announced to the Depu-
ties that he had received a message from
Chancellor Won Buelow, stating that the
Emperor had been wounded by lad
In the Reichstag Herr BaIie5trom, the
President notified the Deputies of the
Emperor's injury. adding, The wound is
not fnconsiderab BILE He said that the
Kaiser would be obliged to remain in bed
for several days.
The wound was closed by bandag1ng
without sewing. The President expressed
and called for three cheers for the Kai-
ser They were given with great enthu-
siasm
In consequence of the excitement, the
sitting was adjourned for half an hour.
It is officially stated that the wound in
the Emperor's face is four centimetrvs
long. The flesh is cut through TO The
cheek hone and the skin along the edges
of the wound IS much tora. The Empe-
ror has no fever and does not complain
even of headache.
1t is currently stated here, however,
that Emperor William was not wounded
and that the attempt Of the epileptic To
injure him was not a serious affair.
a somewhat similar attempt was made
at Breslau two years ago On the opening
of the canal when an aged woman threw
a stone at the Kaiser.
1t was noticed while the Emperor WAS
driving from the station this morning
that he had small patch OF plaster on
his cheek. If Weiland, the man Y no
threw the iron, is found to be insane, he
viii De incarcerated in the House Of De
tention. IF it is found, on the other hand.
that he is sane, he IS liable to execution
During the examination Of WeiIand at
Bremen, it is stated, he had several cpl
leptic fits.
Emperor William was not aware of the
action of the epileptic in hurting a piece
OF iron al him until ne reached the rail-
way station where a member Of his suite
pointed to his cheek which was bleeding.
The Kaiser thought this had been caused
By bunch Of viOlets which had been
thrown into the carriage.
