BERLIN, March 5.-The details of a most
horrible story have just been received in
this city. A man named Hageman in the
province of Hanover was convicted on the
charge of murder and was sentenced to be
put to death by the guillotine. Yesterday
was the day set for execution, and the
condemned man was brought forth TO the
place where the guillotine was erected.
When all was in readiness the knife was
released and fell on the neck of a prostrate
criminal. TO the horror OF the spectators
the knife failed TO sever the head and the
result was to leave the neck of the muir
derer in mutilated condition.
The awfulness of the scene was In
creased when the executioner raised tho
knife of the guillotine, and made horrid
attempt TO wrench Off the head of the un-
fortunate man with his hands, while the
blood gushed in torrents from the coping
wounds.
The executioner continued his task for
some time, but in spite of all his efforts at
the victims half-severed head, he failed To
tear it of, and he again placed the body
in position under the guillotine and tried
a second time TO behead the man by means
of the knife. Again the knife failed. The
executioner then procured a sharp knife
and began hacking at the back Of his vic
Tins neck. He finally succeeded in get
ting the head of.

The grand duke of Hess has been etric-
ken with paralysis, and to-day his condi-
tion was critical. One side is powerless
and the shock will doubtless prove fatal.

New YORK, March 5.-Jarnes Duffy, a
lunatic. made desperate attempt yester
day afternoon to kill Police Justice John
j. Walsh i'm the Butler Street Police
Court, Brooklyn. Duffy became violent
on Thursday night and he was arrested.
When Duffy was arraigned yesterday the
Justice committed him to Raymond Street
fail. Duffy became so violent in the
prisoners pen that Justice Walsh ordered
his removal into another room in the rear
of the building.
Policeman Quigley took charge OF Duffy
and while escorting him through the priv
vate Office OF the justice. Dufy broke
away from him aud made a dash for a
partially open door almost directly be-
hind Justice Walsh, who was presiding in
court As Duffy sprang for the door he
shouted "rll kin him, I'll murder him."
Duffy tried TO reach chair near the
open door when Joseph Mctiary the clerk
OF court who stood beside Justice Walsh,
saw him. McGary ran to the door and
with a mighty effort held the luneti-
against the door cursing until several
policemen reached the spot aud clapped
handcuffs upon him.
Justics Walsh is handsome young fel |:
low not much above 30. and obtained his
position n year or two ago on the death of
mis- father. who was one of the best-known
and ablest police court justices OF the
Metropolitan district. Young Walsh has
proved himself chip of the old block, and
is making himself an excellent reputation.

1t further cites a decision of the Su-
preme Court by Justice Miller, that Ito
lay with one hand the power of govern
ment on the property Of a citizen, and
with the other to bestow it upon favored
individuals to aid private enterprises,
and build up private fortunes. is none the
less robbery, because it is done under
forms of the law.n
The resolution was referred to the Ways
and Means Committee.
Mr.. Scott, in an. interview, said the
sugar bounty is contrary to the Constitu-
tlon and violates every principle of re-
publican government. If it is considered
American, patriotic and honest to donate
money out Of the treasury to enrich pri-
vate enterprises, there is no just reason
why corn, wheat and other great indus
trial interests should not be given a
bounty
Chairman Springer of the Ways and
Means Committee thought the resolution
should have gone to the appropriations
committee, as the law makes a perma-
nent appropriation for sugar bounties,
and the way TO reach the question is to
repeal this law.
Chairman Holman thought the subject
properly belonged to the Ways and
Means committee. A permanent apprO-
prlatlon had been made for fourteen years
TO meet this bounty. On account OF this
1t requires independent legislation, and
more properly belongs to the Ways and
Means Committee. Notwithstanding this
opinion of Holman, however, the resolu-
ton is likely to be referred back to his
committee.

dent ordered an investigation of the Cen
sus Bureau. The special states it was
tried to keep the investigation secret but
some of Porter's friends heard of it and
were very much incensed at that mode of
procedure. When the secret investiga-
ton was ordered, Porter was not in the
city and had been away for several weeks.
The reason for the investigation is said to
be letter from the President of the st.
Louis Furniture Board of Trade declar-
ing the bureaus figures on the manufact-
urlng statistics were inaccurate.
The Secretary of the Interior appointed
a. q. Connor, Appointment Clerk of the
department, and George Evans, Disburs-
ing Officer, TO examine into the condition
of the work of the Census Office, and to
ascertain its future needs. The Secretary
states that he has no suspicion of wrong
dong, and he takes this course to satisfy
himself as to the exact condition Of the

a CRISIS IMMINENT.

Trouble Brewing in President Carnot'S
Cabinet.
NEW YORK, Feb. ia Herald Paris
special says: Strange rumors have been
causing some excitement in politica! cir
cles tonight. It is asserted on what
seems to be good authority, that there is
trouble brewing in the French Cabinet
Constans, Minister Of the Interior, is be-
lieved to aspire to the portfolio Of Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs. The recent rabid
attacks of the English press on Ribot,
and the fact that the English newspapers
are known to be friendly to ConsIans
may tend to confirm these reports. The
journey Of Constans to Italy also lends
an air of probability to the gossip atloat.
Constans left suddenly for Milan and
Venice. He was expected to return
within three DAYS, and at the time of his
departure at Milan he received visit
from the local Prefect, to whom he said that
France and Italy were anxious to main
tain commercial and political peace. 1t
is now supposed that Constans' object in
making this remark was to convince the
world of his diplomatic tact and desire to
conciliate the European powers.
Once he had assumed the management
of the Foreign Affairs. 1t is thought
Constans would aim to succeed Freycinet
as Premier. The Premiership again
might prove stepping-stone to even
loftier honors-why not TO the President
ship of the republic.
1t is quite probable that Constans has
formed the ambitious plan ascribed to
him. but it is less probable that he will
live to see them realized, for within the
past year he has made great many enc
mics.
In any case, however, we may look for
a Ministerial crisis when the Chamber
meets again. The parliamentary out
look is less rosy than it was twelve
months since. Happily the country at
large does not pay much attention to
lobby squabbles and Ministerial rival
ries. France longs for peace at home
and abroad

to-day was consumed by discussion OF
the Chinese exclusion bill before the

tee has reported Chinese bill and there
is conflict Of jurisdiction in the com

Foreign Affairs Committee properly has
charge of the bills relating to the Chinese
question.
The first two sections of the bill were
favorably considered after some modif-
cations, but when the committee ad-
journed its meeting there was pending a
motion to reconsider one section.
The committee has made the bill a spe-
claI order for next week and hopes to
