Death of General Rurt.


 SARATOGA, April 21.-General Burt died at 130 this morning. The remains will be talk en by special train Saturday night. Funeral Monday in Boston.
 SYRACUSE, April 21.-During his illness 8 report has been circulated that the late Gen eral w. l.. Burt was to retire from the man agement of the Boston, Hoosac Tunnel and Western railway at the annual meeting in August next, and also that B. W. Paige had brought about many of the legal difficulties with which the com pany has had to contend. Acting Chief Engineer Charles K. Stone, who is in this city, today stated that had General Burt lived an English syndicate would have arranged with him to push and complete the construction of the road to Buffalo despite the suit of the Attorney General and George F. Comstock of Syracuse, as the syndicate had the greatest confidence in the ability and integrity of the late General Burt, and that even now that the General is dead they had such confidence in the management of Mir. Paige as attorney for the company that they had decided to complete the construction of the road at the earliest possible time. The death of General Burt will necessitate a re- organization of the company. His plans are likely to be carried out. Three interests are associated with the railroad company, the New York Construction company, the London syndicate and company of Boston capital ists. They all understand the embarrass- ment of the company and will wait as patti ently as possible for the courts to relieve it.

 The Senate Foreign Affairs committee has stricken out of the Chinese bill which passed the House on Monday the section which for bids naturalization of Chinamen and the sec- tion which forbids the immigration of skilled Chinese laborers. The Pacific coast Senators say that they will make strong effort to re- instate those sections, and the action of the Republican Senators in caucus this morning indicates that they will support the bill as it passed the House. The Pacific coast men are very indignant that eastern merchants are signing petitions against the Chinese bill, and threatened to Boycott all eastern mer- chants who sign such petitions.

Y, whose remains were inferred recently in the Fair Haven cemetery The deceased, it says, left college about a year ago on account of failing health.

RniIroad Accounts.

The Committee on Railroads have unani- mously made report in which they exoner- ate the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company from the charges brought by Mir. Goodwin that it had made ''inaccur- ate and untruthful returns to the railroad commissioners tending to suppress and con- ceal the amount of net earnings" The com. mittee say that they have heard the testimo- ny and have visited the office of the compa- ny in New York and examined it's accounts, and that the accusation against it is not sus- tained.
 Of the $30O,OOO of surplus, $160,000 was expended within sixty days of the time the report was made, and the balance was needed for repairs and purchases. The manner of entering the surplus in the accounts by the auditor was corrected as soon as the matter was brought to the attention of the president of the company. It is correctly stated in the report to the stockholders. The committee also find that there was no irregularity or wrong doing in the collection of through fares and freights, and in the purchase of stock of the Canal Railroad company no law was violated The committee further find that the railroad commissioners have been diligent and faithful in the performance of their duties in conformity with the letter and spirit of the laws. They say that no ad- ditional legislation is necessary in regard to railroad returns.-Hartt0rd Times.

Reception Class of 's2, ainhouse High school.

Graduation week at the Hillhouse High school was brought to close last evening by the brilliant reception given by the class of 1882 in the school hall: No receptions have been given in the building by graduating classes since 1876, at which time the Board of Education forbade the use of the hall for that purpose. Since the custom has once more been inaugurated 1t is probable that succeeding classes will hold their receptions in the same place. The promenade in which there were about 25O couples began at S:3O p. m. and the dancing was kept mp until midnight. The settees around the large hall as well as the stage and gallery were filled with the parents and friends of the young graduates. The programme on the covers of which were tasty floral designs, contained fourteen dances, and music was furnished by Geo. Robinson's best. The ex- ecutive committee were: Misses H. L. Rice, E. E. Talmadge, D. I. Corbett Messrs. 5. L. Bradley, s. w. Scott and F. H. Benton. Floor director, H. L. Bradley floor commit tee, R. Sargent, J. S. Pardee, D. D. Lam bert, A. D. Barnes, F. H.
