a total Of 144 The girls back was
broken and she had been unconscious
ever since the fatal leap.
The identification of another girls
body by strange arrangement of
buttons on her shoe brought the list
of unnamed down to IA. There
seems little chance of further identi-
fication and the Charities Board has
made arrangements to bury them in
the cemetery Of the Evergreens in
a plot owned by the city.
Assistants of the district attorneys

are conducting Investigations into the

Noted New York Jurist Will

GETS THE INSURGENTS VOTES
Mr.. O'Gorman Made Fine Record
on Supreme Bench OF New York
City--For 80 Years One Of
Tammany's Best Orators.

Albany, N. Y.-By an unanimous
vote of liz of LA Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature, Justice
James A. O'Gorman, of New York,
was elected United States Senator to
fill the vacancy caused by the expira-
ton of the term of Chauncey M. De-
pew. He is the first Democrat to be
sent to the Senate from the Empire
State since Edward Murphy was
chosen in 1898.
Fifteen Of the 80 insurgents re-
manned out of the caucus which pre-
ceded the election. All of them voted
for Justice O'Gorman on joint bal
lot When the election was over,
like Democrats of old, the insurgents
and regulars threw their hats in the
air together and agreed to work
shoulder to shoulder for the accom-
plishment of the important measures
which have been sidetracked by the
Senatorial squabble.
Confusion that almost approached
disorder and thunderous demonstra-
tions of relief marked the termina-
tion, of the remarkable deadlock,
which has held the Legislature prac-
tically at standstill for IA days
10h weeks. The end of the long,
wearing struggle came in the Council
room of the City Hall, with the legis-
lators. packed like sardines in box,
and with the Democratic leaders
standing by with eagle eye, worried
almost to the last for fear their plans
for settlement would at the final
moment be upset.
A recess has been taken until April
IL to give workmen chance to Ke-
pair the damaged Capitol. Meantime
the leaders will busy themselves. with
some of the important administra-
ton measures, and it is expected that
when the lawmakers reconvene on
the day after Easter legislation will
be put through with rush.
Governor Dix, whose business adj
ministration has been imperiled by
the deadlock, has expressed deep re-
lief that the warfare has ceased. His
expressions of qualification have
found echoes in the statements of
practically all the leaders. Republic
can as well as Democratic.

Mexico's Chief Backs Down
Before ReyoIutionists.
ADVOCATES NO REELECTION.
Message to Congress Commits Old
Ruler to Many Things De-
manded by the Revo-
Iutionisfs.

Mexico City.-With civil war rack
ing his domain from end to end,
President Porfrio Diaz, aged, infirm
ruler of Mexico, stood before the
Mexican Congress and declared his
readiness to concede the main points
demanded by his revolving people.
Trembling with age and weakness,
the ruler, in scarcely audible voice,
read his annual message to Congress,
recommending the reforms which
have raised the red flag of revolution
In his dominions.
He declared that he bowed to the
public opinion" and conceded
the main points urged by the revolu-
tionists. His specific recommends
tions were:
Effective suffrage for all.
No reelection to the presidency.
Reform in local, PROVISIONAL and
city government.
A division of the large landed
estates
Subdued and silent the general
legislature and brilliant gathering
Of government officials listened to the
remuneration of the iron tyrant. Not
sound interrupted the reading of
the lengthy document, and when the
President concluded a great sigh of
relief was the only demonstration.
Ministers, ambassadors and govern
ment officials declare that they see
the end of the present trouble in
Diaz's terms of surrender. The Whis-
pered verdict as the ruler was as
sisted from the congressional hall
was that Diaz win resign immediate
" upon the restoration of peace.
All Mexico City, usually a riot of
gayety of color, sank into somber
gloom in the expectations of a pos
sible defiance by the President.
Crowds gathered in the streets to
await the news from the Congress,
and when the details of the message
were announced they filed away
silently, without demonstration.
