Retirement of Pauncefote.

Washington, May 4.-Cable reports
from London stating that the British
ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote,
would be succeeded by Sir Thomas San
derson cause general regret in diplo-
matte circles. 1t has been understood
that Sir Julian would remain here until
next September, as the age limit for
diplomatic service does not operate
against him until then. Moreove his
service has been unusually notable and
his term has been twice extended by the
British foreign Office. The settlement
of the Venezuela question, the arbitra-
ton of the Behring sea question and the
signing of the general treaty of arbitra-
ton between the United States and
Great Britain are among some of the
notable occurrences during his career.
1t is the general feeling in diplomatic
circles that If Sir Julian retires he will be
honored for his service in Washington
by becoming a member of the peerage.
Under the British diplomatic system an
ambassador upon retirerSent receives a
pension of $500 annually, as against
$50, 900 annually while in active service.

shumed OFF the Coil.

New York, May 2-For various rea-
sons, more or less commonplace, six per
sons, becoming tired of life, committed
suicide yesterday. William Hoimsots
AZ years old, hung himself in his apart
ments. He was the proprietor Of a NUM-
Der of saloons. No reason was assigned
for the suicide other than that he had
been on debauch for several days and
was insane from the use of liquor.
Hugo Waller, jeweler, 45 years of age
living with his wife and two children
became respondent because of his fail,
ure to secure employment, and com
mitted suicide by inhaling illuminating
gas.
Louisa Tiger, 50 years Of age, COM
mitted suicide by inhaling gas. She
had been bedridden for several years
and dependency from this was the
cause of her suicide.
Ill health was supposed to be the cause
of the suicide of Frederick Frauzman
who killed himself in Union Hill by TAX.
ing carbolic acid.
Mary Hill, 30 years of age, committed
suicide in Hoboken by shooting. Fail.
ure to obtain work was given as the
cause.

New York Man Murders His Children
and Gashes His Throat.
New York, May A house on Morton
street was the scene of a bloody tragedy
Tuesday afternoon for which two causes
are given-one by the author and the
other by his friends. Jacob Gran1m. so
years old, murdered two of his children,
mortally wounded a third and inflicted
fatal wounds on himself.
During the absence of his wife. whom
he had sent to hunt for a new fiat
Gramm told woman who had been left
in charge of the children that he would
take them upstairs and put them to
sleep. Gramm's son, Edward, returned
from school at o'clock and was sent to
awaken his father and the children. The
chamber door was fastened, and when he
climbed the escape he discovered the
butchery through a window. Gramm
lay on the floor, and the three children
upon bed.
The children had been frightfully
slashed with an ak. Their father had
used a breadknife to cash his throat A
note found beneath the bloody ak, writ
ten by Gramm, indicated that his act
was caused by jealousy of his wife. His
friends state that he was temporarily
deranged by intense suffering from
rheumatism.

Came to BE Disappointed.

Washington, May 4.-Labor Commits
sioner Powderly called at the war de-
partment yesterday to see Secretary
Alger in behalf of a friend who seeks an
appointment in the volunteer army.
While waiting the commissioner re-
marked that the prospects of the present
war seemed to have had the effect of in
creasing the immigration to this coun-
try. Many of those who came believed
that the enlisting of great number of
men in the army would cause vacant
positions that would have to be filled by
others and acknowledged they had come
here believing more work was to be had
because of the war. The figures for
March show that the increase in immi-
grafton for that month over the CORE
spending period of the preceding year
was 5000

A Peculiar Accioent.

Haverhill, Mass, May 3.-Arthur Syl-
vester, aged % years, employed in West
Bedford as farmland. went to his work
Monday and took with him a heavily
loaded gun and placed it in an appar-
entity safe position near a tree. Soon
afterwards he had occasion to drive a
wagon in that vicinity. The hub of a
wheel knocked down the gun, which was
discharged, the contents entering Syl-
vester's leg above the knee. A terrible
wound was inflicted, and amputation of
the limb was deemed advisable. The
unfortunate man died before the work
of the surgeons had been completed.

Discovery of Dynamite.

Springfield, Ills, May 4-Experts who
tested the contents of package found in
one of the company boxes of the Third
Illinois guard pronounced it dynamite.
A rigid examination was made of all
equipment and baggage in the exposi-
ton building where the regiment is
quartered, but nothing else suspicious
was discovered. Besides the Third in
fantry, the Sixth regiment is also quar-
tered in the building. 200 men in all.
Many of the men believe that they have
