Avsvey, N.Y., August 5.—There was an event at the state prison this morning in striking con- trast with the impending tragedy. A big- boned, healthy-looking man, six feet three inches in height, stepped out of the prison gate @ free citizen after twelve years and four months of steady confinement. William Burns was only seventcen years old ‘vhen he was sent to state prison from Syracuse under sentence of life imprisonment for murder. While under the influence of liquor, believing that two men were trying to steal his employer's team of horses, he assaulted them and one of them died of the injuries received. Strong efforts were made to obtain executive interference and they were finally successful. This morning the messenger from Aibany arrived with the par- don, a casting aside the prison garb which he had worn all through the years of his early manhood and donning the garments of civiliza- tion, Wm. Burns walked through the doorway of the prison and passed the great iron gate—a free, happy man, ee eee PANICKY BUENOS AYRES, Although the Insurrection is Quelled Everybody is Excited.

The Citizens’ Committee and Mr. Porter Talk to Secretary Nobie, For some days past a committee representing the chamber of commerce of St. Paul have been at work in the Census Office examining the evidence upon which the recent order for a recount of the population was ordered. Today they presented the results of their examination to Secretary Noble, An interested group was gathered about the Secretary’s desk while the conference was in progress, The St. Paul committee, consisting of Mr. George Cochran, ex-Sénator McMillan and Messrs, Castle and Driscoll, were seated on one side and gH ertcieteger Porter, Prof. Gannett, Mr, Chittenden, Mr. Wardle, Mr. Hyde and other census office officials oc- cnpied the opposite side. A fringe of news- paper men surrounded the group and two or three stenographers recorded what was said. THE COMMITTEE'S REPORT. The report of the committee was presented by Mr. Cochran, who had been made a special agent of the Census Office in order that might have free access to the schedules, The report dissected the evidence of irregu- lariti as = shown a the Census Om and which were based mainly on an insurance map of the city. It was shown very conclusively by the committee that the map was unreliable, but it was frankly stated that the returns from nine districts were so im- perfect as to warrant a recount ora thorough verification before the final count was completed, It was argued that the imperfec- tions existing in the St, Paul census were prob- ably neither different in quantity or quality from those found in the census of other cities, and which might be said to be an incident of the present method of taking the census, The committee expresse: ratification that the Secretary and the census ofticials had made no imputation of fraud upon the citizens of St. Paul, and stated that they had been given every facility, SUPT. PORTER'S STATEMENT. Supt. Porter in his reply stated that any in- accuracies discovered in the St. Paul census re- flected upon the Census Office and not upon the people of that city, as the work was done by the Census Office. He said that including the nine districts admitted by the committee to be defective —_it was found that there were thirty-four districts where, owing to duplications of names and to other causes, the echedules were so defective as to jaatity him in maintaining that there should e an entire recount of the population of the city. In verifying the results thero had been made in the Census Office ah alphabetical arrangement of the names put down on the schedules, and whilg this work was not as yet complete, still in the letter G alone they had found duplications amounting to3 per cent. As rapidly as possiblo, he said, this examina- tion would be completed and the results made known. THE SACRETARY WILL Walt. Secretary Noble, in symming up the results of the conference, said that his order direct- ing ® recount was of course founded upon in- formation furnished by the superintendent of the census. He said that Mr, Porter had conducted the arfairs “Wof that great bureau with skill and‘ judgment, and the accuracy and efficiency of the work was, in his opinion, something marvelous, He, there- fore, was not prepared to rescind the order, The evidence. upon which he had baved his order, even upon the ad- mission of the committee, was sufficient to cast suspicion upon the entire census. He therefore wanted the investigation that was now being made by Mr. Porter of the St. Paul schedule to be continued and when that was done then he would determine whether to rescind bis order or not. ‘This terminated the conference and the com- mittee, after thanking the Secretary for his at- tention, withdrew. THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. The Ground for a Store House for the Government. Mr. Milliken from the committee on public buildings and grougds has reported a substi- tute bill for the one Thtroduced some time ago by Mr. Wright providing for the purchase of lot 10 in square 683 in Washington. ‘The substitute bill provides for the purchase of the same lot, but alters the price considera- bly. The original bill appropriated €20,842, whereas the substitute provides that the Secre- tary of the Interior be autuorized and directed to purchase all of lot 10 lying north of the por- tion of lot 11 recently purchased by the United States, together with a strip of the same lot 20 feet wide running to Delaware avenue, in square 633, lying on the west side of Delaware avenue between C and D streets northwest, and balers lot 11 in same square, now the prop- erty of the United States, and containing 8,675 square feet, at a price not exceeding $1.25 per square foot, and the sum of $10,843.75 is ap- Proprinted for the purpose, i ‘The ground is to be used for a building for gener: AMONG THE STATESMEN. The Report in the Breckinridge Case Adopted by the Committee. Tho House committee on elections this morn- ing adopted the report drawn up by Mr. Lacey declaring that Representative Breckinridge was not clected from the second district of Ar- kansas. By means of telegraphic notices a full attendance of republican members was ob- tained this morning and the report was adopted, with buta single dissenting vote against it, that of Representative Maish, the only demo- crat present. TO CONFIRM INDIAN AGREEMENTS, Senator Dawes today introduced three bills toconfirm and ratify certain Indian agree- ments with the Sac and Fox Indians of Okla- homa, the citizens’ band of Pottawatomics and the Iowa band of Oklahoma. The bii carry a total appropriation of $1,060,000 to con- firm the agreements. DECIDED IN FAVOR OF GoopRICH. storage business for the Capitol, The majority report of the House committee on elections in the contested case of Goodrich vs. Bullock, from the second Florida district, was yesterday submitted to the House by Chair- man Rowell, The report in the main discusses allegations concerning the alleged misconduct and illegal practices of the officers of election in obstructing colored voters, The committee decided that Goodrich is entitled to the seat, and the usual resolution in contested cases is appended setting forth this fact. LABOR BILIS IN THR HOUSE. It is almost certain that the various labor bills pending in Congress, especially the cight- hour law, will receive consideration in the House within ort time. Both the Speaker and Mr. MeKinley are said to be favorable to the measures, and Mr. Henderson of Iowa, in his specch yesterday, referred to it as an as- sured fact that the labor interests would receive recognition at the hands of the majority ina very short time. COMMENDING THEIR SENATORS, Both Senators Plumb and Teller today re- ceived many dispatches from the people in their respective states commending their utterances in the little talk on the tariff bill last night. HE WON HIS POINT, A War Department Clerk Who Would Not Accept a Reduced Position. A. P. Dunlap, s clerk of class three in the P.M.G. office, War Department, was assigned to duty in the office of records and pensions, and consequently reduced to class one in that office. Not desiring to remain on duty in that grade he tendered his resignation, which was accepted as of class one, a8 published in Tur Sraz of July 1% Mr. Dunlap objected to being regarded as a clerk of class and insisted thst he resigned from class 3. The Assistant Secretary of War, Gen. Grant, held that a clerkship of class $ wae the only ition that he could resign, as he had filled {t up to the date of his resigna- tion. which was tendered because he was un- willing to accept the reduced position, He therefore ordered that the resignation should oe a from class § and the records a MR.

OPPOSITION TO HIS POPULAR RECIPROCITY PROPO- GITION FOUND TO BE FUTILE—TEE PRESIDENT AND THE SECRETARY—THE QUESTION XOW 16 HOW TO AMEND THE TARIFF BILL, HIS HEAD NEARLY OFF. A Patient at Dr. Hammond’s Almost Decapitates Himeelf. SUICIDE OF ‘WHO WAS UXDER TaEaT- maRST WHILE RIS BROTRER was a5- SENT Fnom Bis SIDE KE CUT HIS THROAT WITR A RASOR—A SHOCKING SIGHT. There shastly sight at Dr. Hammond's Senitarium Pedro Pastonzo's dead body was the object. He had used a razor in taking his own life. Had he used much more force than he did he would have severed his head from his body. Pastonzo was about thirty-seven years old and was from Houstun, Tex. He was reputed to be one of the finest electrical engineers in the southwest and had charge of the elec tric lights in the City of Mexico.*While in that section of the country he was taken sick, and fearing he could not get well again he came here with his brother to be treated by Dr. Hammond. The combination to crowd Mr. Blaine out of the cabinet and party has failed to come to anything. It is very generally understood at the Capitol now that the ways and means com- mittee are weakening in their opposition to the Blaine reciprocity plan, The attempt to drag the President into an attitude of active antagonism to Mr. Blaine has failed. Whatever may be the natural antagonism be- tween the President and Mr. Biaine, they are at this time necessary to each other. Mr, Blaine is necessary to the administration. To make war on him is reckless short- sightedness, There is a very general impressionamong democrats and republicans alike that Mr. Blaine is one of the strongest men who hasever been at the head of the State Department. The republican leaders in the House see in Mr, Blaine’s reciprocity plan danger to the McKinley bill and they are fight- ing against it, A MENACE TO TARIFF REDUCTION. The democrats sce in these suggestions, if adopted, @ menace to their position on the ‘THEIR ARRIVAL SUNDAY. They reached the sanitarium Sunday efter- Boon and were given an airy room onthe second floor, and two beds were put inthe room so that the patient and his brother might be together. Yesterday morning Dr. Hammond made careful examination of the patient, whom found suffering from h’ hondria, and assure tariff, for the reason that such re-| him that he would fully recover in a month's ciprocity well established would certainly | time. The brothers seemed devoted to each postpone their favored tariff reduction | ther, and this morniug they arose and went indefinitely. The anti-Blaine men in the House have failed to get Mr. Harrison to join them actively in a fight against the able Secretary of Stato, and it is becoming evident that they will have to abandonit. The Senate was first tosee the futility of an open fight against a proposition as popular as that advanced by Mr. Blaine and since the suggestion first came they have been trying to devise some compromise by which the plan might be adopted without destroy- ing the rest of the | McKinley bill. Having practically concluded that some such amendment as that proposed by Senator Pierce or by Senator Aldrich could reconcile the Blaine idea to the rest of the bill, they have been trying to reach some sort of under- standing with the majority of the ways and means committee to end the tugging at cross purposes, : THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE, The ways and means committee assumed & belligerent attitude at first and there has been adeal of planning and talking about driving Blaine out of the party. This war talk, which reachedalngh pite , has greatly subsided within the past few days, and members of the ways and means committee are understood to have given a sort of half-way consent to some sort of 4 reciprocity amendment if one could be drawn that would not mean too much, ‘The indications are the ways and means are preparing to let Mr. Blaine stay inthe party and to take the other alternative that seemed to present itself to them when they said they weaia have to “down” Mr, Blaine or surrender to him, out togother for a long walk. His LAST SHAVE. When they returned the sick one shaved him- self and remarked to his brother that he was feeling much better. When he had finished shaving his brother put the razor back into his valixe and locked it, placing it near the door, some distance from the front window, where the looking glass stood. “Here are some long hairs,” said the — pointing over his ear, “and I wish you woul get me a pair of scissors to clip them.” The brother, who was ready to wait uj invalid, lost no time in going for the rs. He only had to walk across the hall, a distance of less than a dozen feet, to the nurse's room to get them and wasabsent from the room only about two minutes, A SHOCKING siGHT, Returning across the hall his eyes fell upon ® blood-stained bureau and wall, and looking on the floor he saw his brother dying with the razor by his side. , The weapon had done effectively the work intended. Dr. Tompkins was called, but his services were unavailing, as the wounded man died in less than fifteen minutes, DELIBERATE AND DESPERATE. As soon as his brother left the apartment Pedro must have sprang across the room, secured the valise, which he quickly tore open, and got the razor. Then he stood in front of the glass to see that his bloody work was well done. The cut extended from the left side of the neck nearly uround to the backbone to a point on the right side of the windpipe. Both the windpipe, and jugular vein were severed and the razor cut ae deep as though it was driven by machinery instead of by a man’s hand. When the doctor reached him the gash across the throat had thrown his head back almost as much as if his neck had been broken, PROSTRATED BY GRIEF, The dead man’s brother was prostrated with grief and he is now under Dr. Hammond's care. ‘The remains of the deceased were embalmed by Undertaker Sigourney and will be sent to Houston for interment.

A deal of anxiety as to the fate of the tariff bill has developed in the Senate recently, and it has become evident that the party leaders in the Honse cannot afford to exhaust themselves in fighting the leader of the party in the State Department. CASTLES IN THE AIR, Members Whose Public Buildings are Suspehded Talk ot Bolting. The members whose public building bills are hanging in the air between the committee of the whole and the House are getting very restive under the delay and threatened non- action on these bills. There are $20,000,000 worth of public building bills on the calendar. About $5,000,000 worth have been provided for and thirty building bills have been passed through the committee on the whole and not been acted on by the House. The decision has been reached by the Speaker and his associates in command of the House that these bills shall not pass during this session because of ‘the expenditure they involve. This decision has caused much discontent among those whose bills are sus pended, and the Speaker has had to listen to many pleas and protests. Those interested in these bills have began to understand that they can expect nothing for their bills unless they act themselves, Acanvass has beeu made among them by some restless spirit and twenty have signed an agreement to turn and vote against the Speaker's command when an opportunity is offered and to strike out for themselves and see what they can do themselves toward passing these bills, Once or twice since the agreement was reached they have been on the point of bolting, but when brought face to face with the act they have hesitated about voting outside of the party. ‘They are still waiting an opportunity to as- sert their independence; it is yet to be seen whether they wiil have the courage to seize it, SUPPOSED TO BE HERE, —_—_—_ A Serious Runaway.

A Conflagration in Which a Man Was A five-gallon can of gasoline and aclay pipe caused a fire in the cellar of William H. Brab- ler's grocery store, corner of 4th and H streets northeast, about 2 o'clock this afternoon. The damage to the stock and building was slight, but Michael Bernhardt, who was em- ployed by Mr. Brahler as wagon driver, was seriously and perbaps fatally burned. Bernhardt was down in the cellar attending to his duties. He hada pipe in his month at the time and it is supposed that spark from the pipe or a lighted match thrown down after lighting the pipe fell in tho wrong place avd caused an explosion of the gasoline. The noise made by the explosion attracted a number of persons to te fire, and when Bern- hardt emerged from the cellar his clothing was | mass of flames, An alarm of fire from box 67 brought the fire department to the scene of the confiagra- tion and the flames were oxtinguished before the building was badiy damaged. The driver who was burned was taken to his home, No. 731 4th street, and arrangements were made for sending him to the hospital. He was badly burned about the lege, stom- ach and arms, and his hands were also badiy burned in endeavoring to extinguish the flames, The horses attached to No.6 engine nearly gave out before reaching the fire ou account of the excessive heat. —»——.

A Postal Clerk Gone Wrong. MR. McCARTHY DRAWS OUT. ‘The Last Support Said to Have Bee@ Taken From the Ball Club. There is a rumor afloat today that Ma, McCarthy, the contractor, who is supposed te have his shoulder to the base ball wheel in Washington in « Gnancial way bes weakened and withdrawn. It is said his wife has such a dislike for the game as prevents Mr. McCarthy from follows ing his inclinationn The rumor asserts that the men, who were beginning te feel complacent over the situation once more, are again talking of going home on the strength of the beliet that Mr. Carthy's sup- port has been withdrawn, Laren.—A Stan reporter learned from @ trustworty source that potwithstanding the statement to the contrary, the Washington base ballclub, which is now in the hands of Mr. Sullivan, will ina few days totally collapse, The man whose name has been mentioned as principal backer of the club, un- der the new regime, stated positively this morning that he had not invested one een’ in the clab and did not propose to do so. The club will piay ite last game tonight by electric light unless the piayers conclude to ram it on co-operative pias, which, at presen finds littie favor. od ee KILLED AT TARGET PRACTICE, A Bowery Manager of a Shooting Gale lery Shot by a Customer. Two young men went into the little shooting gallery of Henry Zschernitz, at 223\¢ Bowery, New York, about 10:15 o'clock last night and amused themselves firing at a target withe 22-caliber pistol, which Zschernitz loaded for them. They handled the weapon carelessly and were evidently unfamiliar with its nse. One of them, who wore light clothes and stood nearest Zschernitz in front of the counter, beld the revolver pointed directly at him just be- fore aiming at the target. It went off in the usual way. The bullet struck Zschernitz in the left breast, over the nipple. He pressed his hands over the spot, exclaiming: “Ach! mein Gott!" and fell on the floor. Two young men ran out of the gallery and down the Bowery. one of them almost knock= mg down lienry Deguey of 418 east 14th street, who was passing. Policeman Herbolsheimer of the Eldridge street station was called to the place and asked Zschernitz who had shot him. He answered and said that it was accidental and that he didn’t want anybody arrested. Me said he could not recall the faces of the strangers. He merely knew thatone wore adark and the other a light nit, ° Zschernitz died fast after reaching the Gous verneur Slip Hospital. He was forty-nine years old and lived over ry mony d with his wife and alittle daughter. He kept a saloon there antil recently, but the competition of neighboring bars was too strong and he gave up the busi- ness and opened the gallery. Fifteen minutes before the shooting he told Poli in Herbol- sheimer that his new venture was paying and that he thought he would get # good living from it. —_— ooe- — WRECKED BY A WIND STORM.
