It announced that Captain Yocum hnd boon pardoned by Governor Uoyd. She was much uflectcd by tbo Infermatlon although It had been expected and she maul' tested bar Joy qulto already. The message was then taken to the jail und handed to Captain Vocum through tbo bars. Captain Vocum began shouting ana laughing , whllo the other prisoners In jail crowded around litin and warmly congratulated him. On the street the news spread rapidly. This uctlon on ttio governor's part was not unexpected but U caused much comment.

Yooum , who WAS yesterday sentenced to ono year in the peni tentiary for the killing of Myron Van Fleet At Hastings on February 23 , U today a free man , Governor Boyd bavincr signed a full and free pardon a few moments after 10 O'clock this forenoon. A brief telegram was 'Tent to the wtfo of thu condemned man in forming her of her husband's ' paruotrand the bnrifT of Adams county and Warden Mallon of the state penitentiary were uotlllod. The latter precaution * were taken to prevent any fcction looking to Captain Yoeum's incarcera tion before the now of the pardon could be received at Hastings. General Yifquam then tartod for Hastings a tbospocltlniimeiiger Of the governor to convoy the ofltoiat pardon. To the reporter * for the several ttato pa pers Governor Boyd this afternoon made the following statmont in roforcnco to his notion In pardoning Captain Yocum : ' After patiently listening to the statements ot counsel for nnd against , as well as to spe cial pleas by ladles and gentlemen , many of whom could hare had no other object but to express their sympathy for a man who , knowing that there is no law or statute to punish tbo Instigator and writer of slander ous Romp and newspaper articles assailing tha goou nama of members of his family , and vrho , to protect bb home , tooK the law Into | bl > own hands , I bare concluded 1 will bait xcrciso the pardoning power vested in mo { Within the intention of that investment br kpardonlnx A. D. Yocum lor tha slaylug of /Myron / Vantlcot. It is unnecessary hero to review either tbo testimony or the pleading * . The killing was not denied. It U therefore evident tbat but for mitigating circumstances the verdict i tuust have been murder in tha first dogroo. I'Xbejury of twelve men which sat through the wbulo trial found a verdti.it for man slaughter , a verdict which , in my ludgmont , practically exonerates Cup tain Yooum for rtbo killing. The trial judge also went as far ai tbo cold letter of the law will allow him In fxtonuatlng the kilting bv Imposing tbo iight- ? t sentence contemplated by the statutes ono year. I am convinced that theao men , viewing It from the standpoint ot immediate proximity , bavo mailo it incumbent upon mate to view it in the same broad spirit of mercy. " 1'ho question that confronted mo us con trary to the natural promptings of tbo human heart to bo merciful was , would my oxerolso of the executive prerogative encourage crime , or the counter proposition , would this father's incarceration prevent crime ? Care ful deliberation and earnest thought bavo led mo to bcliovo that tno cause of good gov ernment would not bo subserved in a meas ure to warrant It by the incarceration of Captain Yocum within the penitentiary walls. Neither do I boliavo that his full una free pirdon will lend any encouragement to llko crime. Indeed , I hope this case may serve as a deterrent to that class of people who esteem a woman's chastity too lightly or who too carelessly trifle with a woman's good name. "Tho taking of human Ufa ii an awfu tbinc ; but so , too , is tbo destruction of vir tue and the assassination of good men. The man who , as the head of a family , would shirk the responsibilities of tbat headship is unworthy to bo considered a mau ; ana whllo it is far from my purpose to extol Cap tain Yocum for bis rash act , yet I am firmly impressed with the belief gained from hun dreds of loiters , petitions , conversations , nowsprpor editorials , etc. , that public senti ment bestows upon him Its approval. It has boon said : 'He did wrong that ho might ao right , ' and to this public sentiment I yield tbo assent of executive clemency. " Scnsutlomil C'uscs ut Clay Cantor. CI.AT CEXTEK , Nob. , April 10.

In connection with this complication and thu possibility of tboro being a" necessity to make a selection of school lands In lieu of these sections , the possible aban donment of Fort Kundntl mili tary reservation was investigated at the \Var department.

Iu < iuiry among democratic anil republican congressmen alike by TUB BEE correspondent today con firmed the fact , well known In congressional circles , that it u an old custom for tbo com missioner to recognize the calls for candi dates for congress within bis own party and also for nt least ono term for the retiring momoers of congress , whether he be in tbo majority or minority party. Commissioner Black , without a slnglo ex ception , honored the pension slips of demo cratic congressional nominees during Prosl- Qont Cleveland's tenure , and the practice was so old that not a single republican thought of malting complaint. Furthermore , it Is the custom for heads of departments to consult the rotlrrag members of congress within their own party as to appointments when tboir successors are of the opposite political complexion. A majority of tbo fourth class postmasters appointed during tbn past two years In districts represented by republicans in the last , but democrats In ttiis congress , were appointed upon the recommendation of the ox-congressman , nnd In the coming con test tbo republican nominees for congress will bo reco'gnlzed properly and according to custom in appointments nnd in pension busi ness.

Senator Paddock's position on the subject of appropriating $100,000 for the entertain ment of visitors to the Grand Army of thu Republic encampment hero next fall wa-i endorsed today by the Washington Post , which declares the appropriation .should bn made from the treasury of the District of Columbia and not from the public treasury. It contends , as did tbo senator , that it Is n local matter , and that thu city should pay whatever may bo contributed toward the comfort of the veterans. Senator Paddock was totally unaware of tbo fooling of In.t constituents upon thu subject when ho took tbo position be occupies , and naturally ho feels much elated to Hud that it is fully on- darned by bis constituents. The nonalor has procured a full copy of the promises made by the committee representing this city when it sought the oncaiiipmoat in a contest with Lincoln and it discloses tbo fact that the committee promised to raise $7"i,000 and as much inoro as was necessary in order to en tertain Its guests. The senator believes , as a matter of Justice to Lincoln , that Washing ton should oo compelled to ao what Lincoln would bavo uono bad the encampment gene to Nebrasua. In this matter the sonatoi ap pears to bavo fully anticipated the wishes of bis constituents. It is probable that the bouso will amend the i-miatii's proposition and lotto the appropriation out of tbo treas ury of tbo District of Columbia. May Dof.iiit thu Antl-Ojitlnii Hill.

MiNXEAi'OMH , Minn. , April 1C. Assistant General Superintendent Williams of the Milwaukee road uaiuo homo this morning from thu SUscton reservation. Ho wan there during the excitement yesterday and says the newspaper accounts have not been exaggerated. "Our apodal train , " said ho , "reached the line about two minutes before 13 o'clock , anu wns stopped by ttio government ugonts , who placed lias across the track. Soon a puff of xmoko was seen to rise , followed by a faint report. It was the signal gun from one of the plckots above. The picket Dulow fired upon bearing the report , and so the signal passed on ( tow n the lino.
