not charge that any of tbe votes

but they think some cf Biebardsou's

The worst fet of disappointed

had it unexpectedly knocked down,
are tbe Democratic politicians of ttis
Sta'e. Per months they Lave been

of Armnrong and Agnew, for Gov

Berlin, May II At 3:80 this af
ternoon, as Emperor William was
returuiug from a drive with the
Duchess of Baden, several shots
from a revolver were fired at him in
the Avenue L'ater den Linden. No
body w as hurt. The city is greatly
excited. Great crowds assembled ia
front of tbe palac?, to whom the
Emperor several times presented
bimseif in acknowledgment of their
expressions of sympathy. Members
of the mioistry, foreign ambassadors
aud officers of the army hastened to
the palace, tendering tbeir congratu
lations upon thn Emperor's escape.
The would-be assassins are in tbe
hands of the police, who decline to
furnish any information. The char
acter of tbe perpetrators and motives
f r tbeir crime are unknown.
Mikniuht. Two ahots were fired
into the Emperor's carriage from tbe
sidewalk without effect. The assas
sin ran into the middle of the av
enue, followed by a crowd. On an
attempt to capture bim, be fired three
more shots and threw his revolver
away. He was then secured. The
Emperor's carriage was stopped and
the footman sprang from the box
and assisted at tbe capture. Anoth
er man, who, it ia alleged, attempted
to rescue the one who Gredthe bhots,
was arrested a few minutes after
wards in the middle of the avenue.
Tbe man who attempted to assasin
ate the Emperor is a tinsmith named
Emil Heiorich Max Hoedel, said to
be from Leipsic. He was taken to
the nearest police station, where a
preliminary investigation was insti
tuted. Tbe accomulice arrested is
named Krueger, a laborer belonging
to Berlin. There were unceasing
demonstrations before the palace
throughout tbe evening. Dense
masses were streaming in from the
remotest suburbs to manifest tbeir
lovultr. sinsintr tbe national anthem
The liaiperor went to the Opera and
Boval Theatre to-nieht and received
!?reat ovations.
Berlin. Mav 12 At the official
examination cf Hoedel, the prisoner
stated that he was a native of Leip
sic. and was born in 1857. He de
nied that he fired at tbe Emperor.
He afliruied that he was without
work, and intended to shoot himself
publicly to sbow the rich the present
condition of the people. He stated
that he fcbot onca at himself, and
could not account for the other three
shots which were wanting in the
chamber of his revolver. He
thought he might have discharged
them in his absence of mind. Tbe
prisoner was in possession of several
socialistic and democratic writings,
tickets of membership of several Ber
lin socialistic unions, and tbe like
ness of two socialistic leaders. He
declared he belonged to no party, but
was an anarchist, the enemy of all
political parties, tbe present condi
tion of society and public institutions.
It further resulted from the investi
gation that Hoedel formerly held
socialistic meetings near Leipsic.
The other prisoner, Krueger, ap
pears innocent, and is reported to
have been liberated. He wag arrest
ed because he endeavored to protect
Hoedel against tbe assaults of the ex
cited crowd.
Telegrams congratulating the Em
peror on his escape bare arrived from
all the German Princes and Europe
an sovereigns. To-day the Emperor
received the Koyal family, Ministry
and ill-Id Marsbals, wbo came to
congratulate him.
A Grand Fight Over the Delegates, and
Touches of Commnnfsm.fn Some of
the Speech-Making.
Philadelphia, May 8. Tbe Na
tional State Convention was called
to order in Concert Hall this morn
ing, at half-past ten o'clock, by State
Cbairman Deweea. All the counties
in the State, with a few exceptions,
had full delegations. Philadelphia
bas two delegations. The number
of delegates present was about two
hundred and thirty.
A delegation of women, represent
ing the citizens' Suffrage Associa
tion, was on the floor at tbe opening
of the proceedings.
Chairman Dewees, in bis address,
reviewed tbe condition of the party,
stating that from 5,000 votes in 187G
it had increased to 55,000 votes in
1S47, and that wito its thorough or
ionization there was no reason that
entire success should not be achiev
ed in the next campaign.
David Kirk, "Armstrong" candi
date, was chosen temporary chair
man, over Major Powderly, the
"Wright" candidate, who received
but 81 votes. Mr. Kirk, in acknowl
edging tbe honor conferred on him,
denounced the National Banking
system, claiming that tbe nation
should honor its own paper.
After tbe appointment of
mittee on Credentials, the
tion took a recess.
Upon reassembling, tbe
tion was addressed by John Siner,
for many years President of Jtbe Mi
ners' and Laborers' Benevolent As
sociation of Schuylkill county. Miss
E. S. Tarra, of the Citizens' Suffrage
Association, made a ebort address,
asking tbe Convention to insert in its
platform a plank granting suffrage to
women. She was followed by other
ladies from tbe same association.
A number or speecnes, some ol a
rather Communistic nature, were
made, when tbe Committee on Cre
dentials made a report in regard to
two contesting Philadelphia dele
gates, the difference being compro
mised by tbe admission of tbe whole
Labor delegation and ten out of for
ty-six of the Greenbackers. Commit
tees on permanent organization and
platform were appointed, and a re
cess taken till 7 o'clock.

It was stated that the Committee
on Platform would not be able to re
port until to-morrow. The efforts at
adjournment were defeated, and the
ballot on Supreme Judgeship was
proceeded witb, resulting in Bentley
receiving 114 votes and Agnew 91.
Tbe Committee on Resolutions was
sent for, and came into the ball. A
resolution was offered proposing that
the convention recognize no candi
date who bas any affiliation with old
parties. This was amended so as
not to apply to tbe judiciary. Ibe
amendment was lost and the original
resolution carried.
A SCENE OP CONFUSION.
Immediately there was a whole
sale denunciation of tbe candidates.
Wright was accused of being a Dem
ocrat dyed in the wool. Armstrong
was accused of being a Republican

platform, which generally enunciates
tbe principles adopted in tbe National
Convention at Toledo in February
last. They declare that tbe Govern
ment should furnish outfits to families
desirous of settling on public lands;
favored rigid economy in tbe admin
istration of public affairs; demand the
eight hour system of labor ; tbe aboli
tion of tbe prison contract system of
labor; a graduated system of income
tax, by which the wealth of tbe nation
rather than tbe industry of tbe people
should pay the expenses of the Gov
ernment; wholesome and permanent
laws for the protection of American
industry ; education should be free,
secular and industrial, and no proper
ty except what belongs to lbe Gov
ernment should be exempt from taxa
tion. They recommend that women
have equal civil ani p li ! rights;
also demand that National paper
money, or greenback?, based not
alone on the two metals, silver and
gold, bat upon tbe entire wealth and
integrity of ihe nation," bbould be
issued in rufficient quantities to re
vive our prostrate industries by enab
ling fhs people to associate freely
with each other
services,
thereby .ending the suffering and rnin
of oar people. This money should
be a legal tender for all debts, public
and private. As money represented
all branches of American industry,
which does not nosv exceed three per
cent per annum; this principle here
after to apply to all debts, and every
violation ot it to be pooisbea as a
misdemeanor.
At this hour (2 a. m ) the conven
tion is still in session. The reading
of the platform bas just been completed.
ADJOURNED 15 A SOW.
Philadelphia, May 9, 1878. Tbe
Convention adjourned amid a scene
of tnmult ontil this morning, when
the platform will be considered.
There are indications of a serious
split between the Greenback and
Labor sections, tbe Allegheny dele
gates especially protesting against
tbe adoption of tbe resolutions in
their present shape, and the bulk of
them on tbe floor demanding that
the Toledo declarations be the voice
of the Convention.
Tns candidates.
Samuel R. Mason, the nominee for
Governor, was born in Slippery Rock,
Yercer county, now Lawrence in
1827. After leaving common school
he taueht for a number ot years io
his native county, and with the same
indomitable spirit or perseverance
that bas characte-ized bis career in
later life he pnrsued bis studies under
a private tutor at tbe same time and
prepared himself for a sncces ful
course through Allegheny College.
After leaving college he began tbe
study of law in 1850 as a student
under Hon. John Hoge, then Sena
tor from the Mercer and Lawrence
district, and one of the ablest law
yers in the State. After two years'
bard study he was admitted to prac
tice at tbe. Mercer bar in 1852. And
in 1853, when only twenty-five years
ot age, be was elected District At
torney on tLe Democratic ticket in
the strong Republican county of Mer
cer, over J. II. Robinson, a promi
nent lawyer and tbe leader of tbe op
position, by nearly eight hundred
majority. Five years later, without
opposition, be became the Democratic
nominee of Mercer county, for Con
gress, after which be retired from
politics and devoted himself to bis
profession, and was not long in ac
quiring a leading position at tbe bar.
After tbe dissolution of the partner
shiv of Griffith & Trunkey, by the
election of Hon. John Trunkey to!
tbe bench in 1807, be became asso
ciated with bis present partner, Hon.
Samuel Griffith, in tbe practice of
law. In bis profession be is recog
nized as an able lawyer. In 1872 73
be took grounds in favor a national
currency and against tbe National
bank system, and acquired the title
of "Father of the Greenback party in
Western I ennsvlvanta."
CHRISTOPHER SHEARER.
The candidate tor Lieutenant Gov
ernor is a new man, suddenly sprung
upon tbe convention. He seems to
have been the choice of tbe labor ele
ment, and comes from tbe East
BENJAMIN 8. BENTLEY.
The nominee for Supreme Judge,
Benjamin S. Bently, was born in
New xork, and moved to Susquehan
na county, ia this State, when a boy.
After some years bo was admitted to
the Mountrose bar and became one
of its leading members. In 18CG he
located at Williamsport to practice
bis profession, and one year later
was appointed President Judge by
Governor Geary when Lycomini;
was a separate district, and at tbe
subsequent election came within a
few bundred votes of beating Judge
Gamble in tbe face of a strong Dem
ocratic majority. List year be re
ceived the Greenback nomination for
Supieme Judge at Williamsport, and
in February of this year was defeat
ed for Mayor of Williamsport, poll
ing 1 13 votes to 933 for Dr. Logan,
Democrat, and 824 for Col. Barrows,
Republican. Judge Bentley prior to
his affiliation with the Greenback
party was always a consistent Re
publican. He presided at a great
Greenback meeting at Williamsport
in 13C7, but voted for President
Hayes. On being nominated for Su
preme Judge, be delivered a speech
to tbe convention, wbea be said
Tbe debtor in this country has

There is not enough in tbe

years of age.

taken an active port in the transctions
of the party, being several times a

This dav was the worst of all. I
saw abundant proofs of men eating
clay or stones, and bought three
stone cakes. Tbe stone is the same
as our soft stone pencils. It is re
duced to dust and mixei with millet
husks, in different proportions, and
thed baked. It does not look bad,
but tastes like wta.it is dust Tbe
dead seem to-day to number more
than on any previous day, for there
were twenty-nine in eighteen miles
along the road, and the circumstan
ces were more frightful.
In one valley tbe road branched
into two, and my servant took one
while I took tbe other on each side
the stream. On bis road the servant
saw a woman lying in a ditch, after
being robbed of all she bad, and still
moviog, though unconscious of any
one passing by. Further on we saw
a man's bead cut clean from bis
body a cruel murderer's deed. We
saw among tbe dead some wounded
heads, but not done by tbe wolves,
dogs, or birds. Tbe dogs barked and
howled at as when we drove tbeui
off from the dead. Many of tbe
corpses seen when we were going
had disappeared, but their places
were more than supplied by others.
To these details of what 1 saw t
give you a briefer account of what
1 have heard. Some men coming
from Sicbum, on tbeir way to Pe
king, said that along the whole way
they saw dead bodies here and there.
Snow had fallen in Honan province
a foot deep, and about eight inches
in Shansi. to tbe west and north-west,
and none further north in that pro
vince. In all ttat region west of
this tbe cold bad been unusual. Tbe
soft stone is sold at from two to five
mills a pound, and bark from 5 to 7
mills per pound for food. Tbe roots
or sweet flags are dug. but they
cause the face to swell. Grain is
three or four times the usual price,
and turnips and cabbage five or six
times. Flour is 7, 8 and 9 mills per
ounce.
In every city I passed through the
report was twenty, thirty or forty
dying daily. At Ping Yang ten
great pits had been filled, and two
carts were daily employed in carting
tbe dead. One innkeeper told us
that one of his custom, rs reported
having counted 270 dead on tbe road
in three days' journey. Whole fam
ilies old and young, die in their hous
es and lie there unburied. In one
district a third of the population are
dead, and the people maintain that
ia many towns fully one-half have
perished, and tbey know villages
where formerly dwelt 300, 4UU ana
even 500 people, of whom not more
than a hundred remain.

Communists if tbey should avail tteiu

lice Commissioner Cbarliek u.-ed lo
believe, is slumbering over a volcano
of Communism, the city fcbows very
little concern. The metropolis, in
that respect, ia probably the safest
large city in the country. For a num
ber of years Communist societies
have been active, but so have the
police, aod tbe police force, though
far from perfect, has succeeded in
making itself feared. Tbe authori
ties are not so tolerant as formerly
of any practice of independent rights
of free cit'z'jns which may threaten
property and public peace. The sum

the life of the World reporter, has
been a caution to the F rench Com
