Narrow Escape of United States . Minister Mizner. Shot At by the Daughter of the Late General Barrnndia. The Bullet Buried la the Leaves of a Law Volume— Letter of Protest to President Harrison. Special Dispatches to The Morsiso Call. N_c*w VoiiK, Sept. 2.— A Herald Guate mala dispatch says: A daughter of General llarruudia, who was shot dead In the cabin of the Acapulco at San Jose de Guatemala last week, attempted to shoot United States Minister Mizner to-day. Mr. Mizner was at his desk translating a guarantee given to him by this Government that Bar rundia's life would be spared in case be was surrendered, when a young woman came into the office. As the Minister looked up from his work she was standing within four feet of him with a revolver In her hand. She saluted him saving: "Are you the American Minister?" M /ner replied: "1 am; can I be of any service to you*.'" With flashing eyes sin. ac cused him of having been directly the cause of her father's death, and announced that she meant to kill him. Mizner took the - .natter coolly and tiled to reason with the girl, who was apparently almost crazed with excitement, and who in the most tragic manner poured on hits the bitterest invective of which the Spanish language is capable. At last she pulled the trigger of the pistol. Mizner hai taken uo a heavy law book, which be with apparent carelessness held between him and the girl, and the bullet which was meant for his heart was caught iv the leaves of the book. The shot at tracted attention, and before tlie sec ond shot could be fired assistance ar rived, and the pistol was taken away fiom the young woman. Throughout the en tire exciting interview Mizner maintained the utmost coolness. Policemen were called in. and the young woman was quickly arrested. She proved to b; Christian Barrundia, daughter of the murdered 'Genera!. As soon as President Barillas beard of th- occurrence, he sent his respects and -.Hexed ie power of his Government to protect t^e'-Ajuerican Legation. Mizner de- c._._ hsc-fer and will not prosecute the tlady, ana in lists ttiot no further steps shall bs taken. It is generally believed here that B-irrtiadia would have bein in no danger of death had he not resisted arrest. According to the Herald's Washington special. Assistant Secretary Wharton was greatly surprised when informed of the attempt on Mizner's life. '" Why, we have received nothing on the subject," said he. '*.' Is it possible tlfttt an attack has been made upon our Minister, with intent to take his life? Poor fellow, he is certainly having a bard time of lt. I suppose we -hall have a dispatch from him to-morrow, giving full detail?, if the report is true. The State Department officials are anx iously awaiting dispatches from Mizner. A Herald dispatch from Mexico says that the widow of Barrundia has sent long cable message to President Harrison, in which she says: "The wife and children of Jose Martin Barrundia protest before you with greatest indignation and sorrow, that our beloved husbaud and father hi- been vilely assassinated on bonrd an Americau steamer at San Jose, where he was found under shelter of the American flag, and his capture, illegally consummated by the Government of Guatemala, i- due to the officious and criminal co-operation of Minister Mizner, who or dered the captain of the steamer to deliver up the General. We protest before you against this savage deed, and we expect, from your rectitude and the justice that be longs to our demand, due reparation for the outrage of which we are the inconsolable victims." . UIOT AT VALPARAISO. E teres Plundered and Citizens Muidercd by a ___-_ Panama, Sept. I.— A letter from* Valpa raiso. Chile, gives an account of,' rioting that characterized (he recent strikes there. It stems that the launchuien and stevedores struck in the morning, and soon .compelled the workmen in the Custom-house to cease labor. The strikers demanded payment In coin, not in notes, and this demand caused the doors of the Custom -house to be closed, a step which was promptly followed by most of the business houses throughout tho city. The strikers then formed a mob and visited several manufact uring establishments, doing much damage. A number of citizens appealed to the authorities to act. but they remained pas sive for several hours, during which rioting and plundering was going 00. Finally, after eight men had been wounded and twelve killed the authorities determined to send ■ out military pickets and defend the public offices. By this time the mob, which had divided in three sections, was busily encaged in plundering and destroying the stores in the streets not visited in the morning, compelling workmen .in all places to quit and lighting where lhey resisted. At a bakery in one street twelve men were killed. The bakery and several adjoining stores were sacked. Finally a picket of soldiers appeared and asked tho plunderers to withdraw. As they did not do so the soldiers withdrew. Similar scenes were at the same time being enact*- ln other quarters of the city. Railway shops were completely destroyed, as well as manufac tories in the vicinity, and their contents tittown into the sea. While tile mob was engaged in sacking the National Biscuit factory a picket arrived, and the mob not retiring, opened fire, killing one of the riot ers and wounding four others. Ky this . time, however, the crowd numbered at least 10,000, and although repeatedly charged by the police who employed sabres, it stood its ground, although some twenty of its members were killed and others seriously wounded. Viewed from the leach the scene on the hill was horrible, as the police were seen, sabres in band, charging here and there. The mob offered some re sistance and wounded some policemen. itut order was temporarily restored with the assistance of the reinforcement of the fresh pickets and by stationing another company of artillery near the railway station. Ky 5 o'clock in the afternoon the mob had almost disappeared to drinking -bops and proggeries. At the time the foregoing scenes Were beiug enacted, many others of a siiui The Morning Call. lar class were in progress In other part s. At 7 o'clock this evening a holy of police men charged on the mob and made five prisoners. At the same lime a baud . of rioters passed through Victoria street smash ing doors, windows, lamps, etc., and crying --pillage, pillage." They plundered many houses. During the night the streets wore pa trolled by troops. At 7:20 p. si. cavalry pickets made several charges in the Amandral, where stores were being sacked. In Condell street the mob attacked some jewelry-stores. The pickets arrived after all was over. At 9:30 o'clock p. ___, trains arrived wiih a battalion commanded by General Valdi vio-,0, and subsequently a corps of 500 strung. The Inteudente and Commander of Police had almost fraternized with the strikers. On the hills around Valparaiso many outrages and robberies have, been committed. At Santiago somewhat similar rioting occurred at the session of the Deputies. MAJOR KATHKOXIi'S SUCCESS-!.. Genera! Adam King in Possession of the French Consulate. Paris, Sept.

Boat was elected permanent Clie.ir raan. 1" his speech he said he believed Hen ry George always saw the hand of G d iv tlio single tix movement. The path Is broadening, and will broaden until the entire Democratic party is included in the movement. William E. Brooks of South Dakota was elected per manent Recording Secrbtary; K. G. Brown of Tennessee and John C. White of Illinois Assistant Secretaries; 11. F. Ping of Texas, William Lloyd Garrison of Massachusetts and A. 11. Stephenson of Pennsylvania, Vice-Presidents. Committees were appoint ed and the meeting adjourned. SENTIMENTS OF HENEV OEOBQE. The Press Committee distributed the inter view which follows as toe sentiments of Henry George. The questions were written out and scut to George, who filled in iho answers: lj.— Will you run fur Mayor? A.— Q.— Would you run if a monster petition, such as that of 1885, were presented? A.— No; 1 did that once under a sense of duty, but I think 1 discharged my duty then. Q. — Will you run for Congress? A. — Xo. y.— Under what circumstances would you run? A.— l would nut ran at all. I see no prospect of circumstances that would Induce me to run for anything. I have other work to do. Q. — Will you go to Pennsylvania to stump the State for Pallison ? A.— l have not beeu asked. Q.— Then if you should go would that commit the Democratic party to free trad-!? A.— l don't know bow it is within my power by doing or not doing anything to commit the Democratic parly. It is committing itself to free trade pretty fast, and if 1 could hasten its advance to the only logic 'l and truly Democratic position of absolute free trade and no tarilf at all, 1 would no further than Pennsylvania. ..— You have said the Salvation Army is inclined to assist the single-tax movement. How far has it gone in the single-tax direc tion? A.— That is hardly the way I put it. I have said that Iho Salvation Army is about beginning to .-nipple with the poverty and destitution which exist in all the cities Great Britain, and lam satisfied that any attempt of this kind must ultimately lead them to single-tax views. 1 think 1 am now breaking no confidence in saying that Mrs. Booth, who has been a sharer of all the General's labors, and who is now passing to her rest through the slow agony of an incurable disease, has been for years what we would call a single-tax woman. General Booth himself has not, I think, got so far, nor is the army In any way committed to the single tax, but it has beeu seen that the work of true Christianity can not bo accomplished until every on. is will ing to support himself by honest labor, should ho h .ye an opportunity to do so. (_.— ls tiiere any probability of a single tax candidate being put in the field in is.!'-''.' A.— l do not think there is any probability ol a single-tax party being in the field, for single-tax candidates will in many cases he run, and tho Democratic party is rapidly on its way to free trade.

The mutual agreement upon the re ciprocity clause in the Tariff Bill, it is be lieved, practically cut off all debate on the sugar schedule in the Senate and also in the House. It is said that only Mr. Kvarts of New York will oppose the sugar clause in the Senate, and that it will meet with no opposition of consequence in the House. Senators Maiiderson and Paddock, who have been fighting foreucour-tgeuientfur the beet sugar Industry, which is taking a foothold in Nebraska, in tended to make speeches against free sugar, but the reciprocity agreement secures their votes aud support. The agreement reached Saturday by the representative Republicans from "the two Houses insures not only the speedy adop tion of tho reciprocity clause in the Sen ate, but au admirable agreement in tho Con ference Committee, as the gentlemen who have reached the preliminary agreement will undoubtedly boon the Conference Com mittee, excepting, of course, Speaker Seed, The latter, while objecting to reciprocity at the outset, now accepts it very heartily. Major McKinley, who also, opposed reciproc ity ai the beginning of this Congress, falls into line gracefully. To President Harrison much credit is duo for the successful termination of what at first appeared to be a ions controversy. When the President came to Washington from Cape May, after his celebrated inter view with Secretary Blame, he was inclined to issue a message, urging Congress to sup port Secretary Blame's reciprocity plan, but he soon came to the Conclusion that lie could do more in his personal capacity than thtough nn official document. He, there fore, set about at the missionary work and urged individual Representatives and Sena tors as they came from day to day to the White House to come to an understanding on the proposition, nnd they have finally done so in a way that will prove very satis factory to Republicans at large and the peo ple ol tbe country generally. THK Tl-ItKITOIUES. A Committee to Report on Their Eligibility to Washington, Sept. I.— At a meeting of tlie House Committee on Territories to-day the subject of the consideration of bills for the admission of New Mexico and Arizona into the Union being uuder discussion, a preamble and resolution in regard to the matter, drawn up by Representative Man sur of Missouri was unanimously adopted.

An instance, he said, was in the Commissioner's testimony relative to tho Cincinnati Commercial Gazette interview, where the Commissioner interpolated words to make his testimony conform to that given by General Boynton. The committee instructed the stenographer to see that the rocord was complete. Smyser, a member of tho committee, was sworn. He said he was a stockholder in the Refrigerator Company. Tho proceedings in the liouse. resulting in the resignation of Smyser, caused a postponement of the in vestigation until the vacancy is filled. The Rational Debt Washington-, Sept.

Disposal of thi Wool Schedule— Blair Called to Order. Washington, Sept. I.— ln the Senate to day Sherman gave notice of an amendment which lie proposed to offer to the Tariff Bill, looking toward reciprocity with the Domin ion of Canada in coal and toward "extend ing trade relations between Canada and the United States." Blair and Hoar wanted to let the Tariff Bill go over, as it was Labor day, and "do something for labor" by considering the Labor Bill. Aldrich thought Blair and Hoar were in clined to buncombe, whereupon Blair char acterized Aldrich as the representative oi a monopoly. The presiding officer called Blair to order for unparliamentary language. As the bill could not be disposed of with out discussion Aldrich objected and the Tariff Bill was taken up, the question being on the paragraph as to wool and woolen yarns, to which the Finance Committee had reported an amendment increasing the duty per pouud from twice to two and a half times the duty imposed on unwashed wool of the first class. Paddock addressed the Senate In a frienly criticism of the Tariff Bill. There was no dissent in the Republican party to the dec larations it had heretofore m..de in its plat form, but there were differences of opinion as to the details of tbe tariff. There was no dissension as to such protection as would cover the difference in the cost of labor between the United States and foreign countries. He would be glad if ho could follow the majority of the Finance Committee but he regretted that he could not see bis way clearly to it as to all its secli.ns. The agricultural West, ho said, never favored high protective duties but it did favor -uflicient protection to cover the difference in wages, wliile at the same time the semblance at least of foreign markets was preserved. The West regard ed the revision of the tariff as meaning the reduction of the tariff whenever possible and not increases in the tariff, and he was confident the demand for a lower rata of duties would have to receive an early and favorable response from Congress. So long as a high tariff was needed to keep the wheels of Industry in motion it had been uncomplainingly supported and properly defended. But the sentiment was growing and the belief was becoming a fixed con viction in the 'West, at least, as to some of the protected industries, that the decreased cost of protection should vow be met by a gieater decrease of duties than the manu facturers bail yet been willing to accept, lie (l-00-OC*. iv-iili rvdnejv tin- AnU.es on the necessaries of life to the lowest point consistent with tho maintenance of home industries, and would demand the reasons for every import, reasons that would be specific and conclusive, not only respecting tne need of a duty, but as to the amount of such duty. The bill, as repotted, while much improved over the House bill, was something of a disappointment. He was certain that all. who were fa vored most directly by the maintenance of a high tariff would be better satisfied with a bill on the lines laid down by the committee than any other class. He be lieved in free sugar, but believed it should be secured through some such plan of re ciprocity as indicated by Blame and formu lated by tho Finance Committee. But what ever might be done in that respect, if a liberal bounty to home-produced sugar were assured for fifteen years there would be no occasion whatever thereafter for the impor tation of a single pound of sugar into the United State?. He would treat the proposed tin-plate industry iv the same way. lie felt certain it would be an act of wisdom and justice to adopt a bouuty policy rather than increased duties. After a long discussion the committee amendments were agreed to by a vote of 36 to 18. In the next paragraph, relating to woolen or worsted clothe, knit fabrics, etc., the committee reported nu amendment increas ing the duty lioui twice to three times the duty per pound on unwashed wool, first class. Agreed to. Ou motion of Carlisle the word " shawls" was inserted alter the words woolen or worsted cloths. To the next paragraph, relating to blank ets*, hats of wool and flannels for under wear, the committee amendment makes the duty the same as that, of a pound and a half of washed wool, lirst class, in addition to ad valorem rates. Agree! to. Finally the wool schedule was completed, and Vance offered as an additional section au amendment of which he heretofore gave not cc, allowing a reduction of the duty on goods purchased with the proceeds of American farm products sold in a foreign country. He will ask for an evening ses sion to-morrow in which to address ihe Sen ate- Schedule L, relating to silk and silk goods, was taken up, and the committee amend ments were agreed to; also one by Aldrieb, striking out of Paragraph 352 the words "spun silk" and adding "spun silk in skeins or cops or on beams, 33 per cent ad va lorem." Aldrich stated that the sugar schedule was the next tv bo taken up. The conference report on the bill relating to collisions at sea was agreed to, aud the Senate adjourned. THE HOUSE. firmer Resigns From the X mm Investigating Committee. Washington, Sept. I.— ln the House, Stockbridge of Maryland moved to suspend the rules and pass the bill providing lor Gov ernment inspection of iho coalmines iv the Territories. Agreed to. Cooper of Indiana, rising to a question of privilege, stated that one of the charges in the resolution offered by him for the investi gation of Commissioner of Pensions Katun was that the Commissioner was selling stock in the Refrigerator Company to tho employes of the Pension Office. To-day be learned that one of the members nf the Investigating Committee, Representative M. L. Smyser of Ohio, was one; of the stockholders. Cooper therefore uttered a resolution discharging Mr. Smyser from the committee. Smyser said he bad no intimation that be was going to be appointed on the committee until the announcement was made by the Speaker. As ft mcuibrr of the committee he entered upon the discharge uf his duly and bail done it faithfully and well, He did own some of the stock, but that fact in no man ner could affect the integrity ur the honor of an honest man. Smyser felt there was nothing in the charges against General Ranis in any way affecting him, but In order to satisly the other sido of the House and the country and asa duty to himself he most respectfully asked to bo relieved from further service on the committee. The request was granted. The Speaker stated that when heap pointed the committee he hud no knowledge cf any relation between the gentleman from Ohio and the company relerred to. The Chair had made the appointments from the Committee un - Pensions and Invalid Pen sions, because lie tin tight it would facilitate the disposal of the matter to have gentle men serving on the committee who had some knowledge of the Pension Ollice. - On motion of.
