FIERCE STRUGGLE WITH THE DESPERADO Alex Borkman, a New York Anarchist, and His Bloody Decd. FRICKS COOLNESS SAVES HIS LIFE £hot Two Times and £tabied Four Times, He Makes a Plucky Fight. HIS ASSAILANT BEHIND PRISON BA'S Pittsburg Exclted Over the Affair—Sup- pused Cause of the Assault—Sympathy for the Victim—Magnanimity of Mr. Frick—The Detuils, Pir1spure, Pa., July 23.—A desperate and almost successful attempt was made this aftornoon to assassinnto Henry Clay Frick, ctairman of the Carnegie Steel company, limited. His assailant was Alox Berkman, a Rus- slan Jew, who camo here from;New York Wwirth the evident intentuion of removing the man who has peen the principal one of the employers in the great strugglo now goiug on between capital aud labor in this eity. [t was a few mioutes before 2 o'clock this slternoon when a dark complexioned young man with a Jewish caste of countenance, of medium height and fairly well dressod, en- tered tone elevator in the Chrovicle-Tele- graph buiiding, which is also occupied by the Carnegie Sterl company, limited, and asked to be let off at Mr. Frick’s oftice. I'he young man had been a frequent visitor dur- ing the past few days, and David Fortney, tho elevator boy, tuought nothing of tho request, but stopped at the second floor und pointed out the way to the chairman's pri- vate room. Startied by Plstol Shots. Two minutes later the occupants of the building and passers-by on Fifth avenuo were startled by three pistol shots, fired in rapid succossion. Intuitively the victim was divined and “Frick is shot!” “Frick is shouv!” were tno words soon passed from mouth to mouth on the street. 2 was true. A man believed to be acrank had nssailed the great steel master, but the latter, notwithstanding two bullet wounds and four ugly gashes from a dagger, still lives and will probably recover. As was his custom Mr. Frick took lunch at the Duguesne club ut noon today and re- turned to his oftice at |:3) this afternoon. Hewent to the fifth floor, whore he re- mained but a few mioutes. Ho then came down the elevator to his private room on the second floor, fronting on FKifth avenue, where he seated bimself at his desk. The office of Mr. Lelshman, a business partner of Mr. Frick's, adjoins that of the latter. Mr. Leishman came in and the two were bolding @ privato conference, no one ciso beiug in the room. The Would-Be Assussin Appears. A few minutos before 2 o'clock Harry Heckley, the office boy, noticed & man hastily push open the swinging gate in the railing that ruus botween the public portion and the enclosure where the desks of the stenographers and clerks are located. There was no ond noar the private oftice door and thoe boy hurried up to ask the in- truder what ho wanted, but ho was too late, 8s tho stranger had already ontered the private apartment. As he entered the ofice Mr. Frick looked up, as did also Mr. Leish- mun, to seo who it was. Mr. Frick was examicing a bundle of papers. The man sprang within about. five feot of Mr. Frick aud quickly drawiug his rovolver pulled the trieger. The first cartridge did not explode, tho second shot entering the back of Mr. Frick’s neck und glancing downward, passed to the putside below the armpit. Frick made au exclamation and jJumped to the circular window on Fifth avenue and.iried in vain to open it The assailant passed in front of tho desk, and approaching close to Mr. Frick, fived again. The ball entered the muscle on the left s1de of the neck and passed around to a lodgement under the right ear, where it was later reached by the probe, Desperate Struggle with the Desperado, At this wstant Mr, Leishman threw him- self on the would-be assassin and wrestled for possession of the revolver. Mr. Leish- man clutched the barrel and pointed the muzzlo upwara, as the cartriage exploded the ball entered the plastering near the glass partition. With agility the desperado drew 8 dogeer and attempted to stab Mr, Leish- man, who was holding the assallant by the shoulder and body. Mr. Frick saw the gleam of steel, and al- though staggering from the shock of the two wounds and bleeding profusely, jumped be- tween the men and seized the maw's arm. Tho lutter freod himself from Leishman's grasp sud plunged tho dagger into Mr, Frick's right side just above the hip, mak- fug on ugly wound threo luches long. Ho made another lunge and this time the koife struck higher up, but the poiat struck a rib aud glanced down without inflictivg much of au injury. Twice ngain was the knife “thrust at Mr. Frick, but he was merely scratehed by these last attempts to kill bim, ‘Phe struggle was in full view of those on the street. By this time the oMce boys and Devuty Sheriff May, who just entered as the first shot was fired, threw themselves on the mssassin, vlek Saves His Assailant's Life, May bad drawn hisrevolver and was about Lo shoot the fellow in the back when Frick eried out: *‘Don’t kill him, We've got him all right. Leave bim to the law.” The man broke away and triod to escape but was secored and taken to the Central police station, The prompt sction of Mr. Frick saved the lives of Mr. Leishman and his seif-appointed executioner. In tive min- utes a dozen surgeons, including Drs, Litch- ficld, MeClellund, Murdock and Joseph and John Dickson, were at hand., M. Frick was told 1o lie down on a lounge and after his clothing had been removed the wounds were wushed and the blood stopped. Duriog all this tiwe the wounded wan was calw, had o porfect command of his features mud appar- ently was loss excited ihau suy other persou u the roow. From time to time he wadesug- gostions as to how badly e was burt, and & If bour after the shooting directed a mes- suge io Andrew Caruegie about the assuult, in which he told him he thouglt he would bo Ml right. AL Mr. Frick's request sll communication R with his residence was shut off ana his | brother-in-law was sent to inforun his wife of his illnass and to reassure her. She had a son ten days ago and is still confined to her room. Sho was greatly distressed, but boro hiersoll bravely when told that thers was no apparent dunger, She «ent her sister, Miss Childs, 10 tho office with instructions to return at once and loform her of Me. Frick's actval condition. In the meauwhile Mr. E'rick was removed to tho back officy, where the physicians made a careful examination, and ac 4 p, m. the bullet was removed and tho wounded man was resting oasy. The news created intenso excitement aand telograms poured in on Mr. Frick from peopie high and low from various paris of the United States, At 1o tine did ke bolievehe beliove ho was fataly injurcd and, after tho romoval of the bullets, to four of his stenozraphors ho di- rected lettors and askod his chiofs about the condition of affairs at Homestoad and Desquesno.

Mr. Frick refused all medicine until 5 o'clock, when he was given a xedative and was soon sleeping soundly. No one was permitted to sec him for an hour before nis removal to bis home, which took placs shortly after 7 o'clock. Dr, Litchfiold felt confident: that Mr. Frick would recover, although a seri- ously injured wan, who had had & marvelous oscape from instant death, His phisiclans announced on his arrival at his home in the east end that ho had stood tho trip well and showed no bud effeots from it At 11 o'clock he was reported as resting easily and the doctors regarded his condition af favorable. Citizens Express Thelr Indignation, The news of ths attempted assussluation spread like wild fire and in a few minutes after the shooting Fifth avenue to Woou street yrere black with paople and the graat- est indignation was expressed at tho cow- ardiy deed. When the feliow was brought out of the buildiug by the police ofiicers to be token to the central station cries were heard of, “Snoot him now!” Some growled, “Let bim have what ne gave Frick,” while a better element stepped forward aud helped keep the assassia from mob violence. A large crowi followed the patrol wagou con- taining the priscner to the contral Lolice station and when the lock-up was reached, the police were compelled to shut the gates to the yard to keep out the people. The prisoner was so much exhausted trom excitewent that he could not answer tne usual questions for several minutes. He was tuken back into the cell department and In- spector McKelvie put him iuto o Cross-Examined the Prisoner, When the prisoner recovered suMciontly to speaks Inspector MeKelyio asked: **What 18 your name He responded @ “Agor “Pwenty-six years.” “Where do you livel” “Forty-second streot, New York city.” “Occupation “Compositor on a New York paper.” “What is the name of the paper on which you are employedi “The New York—,” Berkman started, but after hesitating a moment posilively refused 10 auswor the question. ““How long have you been 1n Pittsburg?”’ “I came on Thursday and have been stay: ing at the Merchants hotel on Water stre Questioned by u Reporter. Before Inspector Kelvie issued an order to exciudo all persons from the police station, except officers who were needed, Berkman was asked by an Associated press reporter: *Did you know Mr, Frick?” ho prisouer replied: *‘We all know Mr. Frick.” Whean asked to tell why he attempted the murder, Berkman responded: ‘Thats a queer question 10 ask; you know why.” Then Inspector McKelyie had the room cleared in order to avate the excilement and refused to ailow anyono to talk to the pris- oner. Tho prisoner said he was a Russian Jew and had been in this couutry for some years. After the crowd had disappeared the pris- oner was searched, but, boyond a few 85-cali- ber cartridges, some pieces of caudy and a nickel plated watch, nothing was found upon his person. That he was prepured to eund his own life, however, was developed later. Chewed Glant Powder Cap At 5 o'clock the prisoner, in charge -of Superintendent O'Mara, Inspector McKel- vie and Detectives Shore and Coulsen, was taken to the gymnasium in the station yard to be phowographed, Seatéd in the chair, the only action of the yoing man that indi- cated any nervousness was a peculiar move- ment of his jaws. This aroused the sus- picion of Iolice Surgeon Mober, who after- wards made a search and found a small shell in the wprisoner's mouth. The des perate man refused to ovaen his mouth and it was necessary to choke hium till he was black in the face before he would give the shell up. It was takon to tho establishment of Arthur Kirk & Sons, where it was pronounced to be a giant powder cup of the same kiud used by Ling, the Chicagzo anarchist, to kill himself, It was considerad a miracie that Berkwman was uot blown up. Recognized us un Anarchist, Several persons said they recognized him to be a wember of the anarchistic circle of Allegbeny, which bas receutly been ad- dressed by Herr Most. This mworning he called at Mr. Faick's offico at 10 o'clock ana banded his card to Harry Breckley, the ofice boy, who took it in o Mr. Frick. Oun the card was written : “A, Berkman, Agent New York Ewpl meut company.’’ Mr. Frick said he would see bim in a few mioutes, Berkman appesred nervous, and after stauding uround for & short time sud- deuly wheeled ubout and weut out.

Several months ago I pownted out to the readers of the Herald the aanger to the peace of Eurona that was to ba apprehondea from that quarter. I was not doceived. Sngland in Januacy, 1892, signed a treaty with Spain and Italy for the apportionment of Morrocco to the exclusion of France* France, howaver, has the right to be con- sulted in Moorish affairs, sinco Aigiers is contiguous to Morrocco. The Fronch diplomats said notning, but made & note of what was being done. England did not de- sire to put into overation the troaty made with the European powers, and o she tried to take for hersolf alone all the profit deriv- avble. With this end in view, she scnt to Morrocco Sir Charles Evan Smith, charged to conclade a treaty of commerce with the sultan, but this treaty covered almost every question, and if che sultan signed 1t, Mor- rocco would be placed virtually under an English protectorate. Aroused the British Lion. The negotiatiors, which lasted for several months, fell through because the suitan was not willing to accord England the right to establish stations upon Moorish territory. Allthe English newspapers wers furious. They accused France of being the cause of this crushing blow to English diplomacy. 1t would not have bsen possible to have takon the Englisff anger seriously if there had not come at the same time the news that disturbances had broken out in Morroceo and that Europeans were in danger. Soon English intervention became necessary to restore order, and it looked as if the sawo blow wonld bo struck as had been struck fn Egypt. Intorvention in Mor- rocco “to re-sstablish order” meant the prompt bring about of the occupatioa of tho country, and a little after its annexa- tion would be possible. Lora Salis- bury, who at this time was considerably hampared by the elsotions, yet in spite of them wantod to make a grand cou in the jingo line to demonstrato that the conservative party was very patriotic and to causo a new embarrassment to the *grand old man,” A dispatch last evening states that Sir Charles Evan Smith had (m barked at Tangior.

If England should land ten men upon the Moorish coast Krance wiil land twenty. No matter what happens, even should that be the immediate result, we cannot permit the ropetition of the historic Ezyptian Indi- dont, and public opinion will force the gov- ernment into action. ‘I'ne Moorish question, without very much disturbing the diplomatic world, yet gives cause for serious reflootion. It is said that Kngland and France wiil avoid as much as possibld a contlict, but it is possible that we nay see a number of skirmishes, Outside of this the European situation is one of tranquility. As the summer seuson rolls on the governments of central Burope are very much exercised about it, aud aro aking precautions against tho 1uvation of cholera, It is dificult to prevent the ravages of this plague, which has mude such frightful havoe in the south of Russia, As to the conflict between Emperor Wil- liam and Prince Bismarck we must wait for the return of the kaiser from his whaling expedition, to see what the pews will be, Then most likely we shall have a controve: of a stormy character, the youug sovere| and his old chaucellor being very much in- conses, the ous against the other.
