PiTTsnuiia , Pa. , July 2 . The criminal
riddle In the cc.ntral police station here ,
called indifferently the "anarchist , " Alwc-
nnder Bergman ( not Workman ) and blmon
Upnchmnn , Is still un solved. His antecedents
nro unknown , and whence became nnd why
ho shot Mr. Frlck are matters ot conjecture
only. No ono , even of the shrewd detectives ,
or the shrewder newspaper men , who have
been nt work on him over since bis dospornto
attempt nt nssasslnnlon have got anything
but contradictory or trivial information from
him. Ho stated today thnt when ho was
ready fwhich would not bo until nftor his
transfer to the county Jail ) bo would make a
written statement for the Associated Press
nnd until then bo would decline to answer
any questions.
Ilnppy ana Whistling.
Ho was whistling n sentimental air with
some accuracy when the correspondent was
ndmlttod to the calaboose. People who ro-
mntnbcr the appearance of Maxwell , tbo
murderer of Proller , can form on accurate
impression of him by making tbo nose more
Semitic. Ho la n fclight but wiry-looking
youtn. 22 years old , nour-siehtod and wear-
ingglasses. His mo t peculiar feature Is tha
mouth , which Is largo and sensual and has
two curious flaps of flesh which form the
lips , and whiuh , when his mouth is open ,
still partially cover bis upper teoth. His
dim is strong , his forehead excellently
shaped and the ears stand out from Iho head.
Ho may bo n printer , or ho might bo a school
teacher or n mportor. The only fault to bo
found with bis appearance is the shifty , fur
tive manner in which ho usoi bis oyos. Ho
would not bo n notable man in a crowd , nnd
would bo classed liullfforontly a * n
Gorman Jew of sorno education.
That he is secretly pleased with tbo notoriety
whirli ho bus gained Is evident , but that bo
is a dreamy fanullo who bad pone crazy over
nnntrhUtic literature Is also probablo. Any
study of his character must fall until some
facts about him are brought out und those are
bolng eagerly sought. Ho lw been photo
graphed twice , inking Iho oporalion good
nalurcdly enough , nnd evidently trying lo
got n good picture. Ho roads Iho papers

dently suffering from the heat.
Will \VrJto n Letter to the 1'rcss.
"I can say nothing yet , " ho said , "tboro Is
nothing to say ; no good will como from any
information lhat I may glvo. When I urn
readv ' , which will not uo until I go to Jail , I-
will 'write a letter to the Associated Press
wh'.ch will tell why 1 did this. "
It wus noticed that while ho talked hia
German accent wavered us though it were
partially artificial.
" 1 have already said to tbo police all that
it is necessary for them to know now. I
Imvo committed no crlm'u , I have ub re-
crols.1
"What is the truth about your connection

"Aro you n Hungarian 1"
' 'You will learn soon. "
Nor could more information bo gotten
\vhlcn amounted to anylbine whatever.
Ho was ready onongh to listen to anything
that micht bo said to him , but bis answers
wcio difllcult to got und spouon lu a low , al
most inaudible tone.
JMc.niH to Conceal Ills Identity.
Bergman is n very docile prisoner , obeying
orders cheerfully enough , but he bus uo vary
Etrong affection for tl : t polijo nnd ho avoids
thorn as much us hu cun. Waother ho bus
been tuo days or two weeks In Pittsburg is
not luioun. The clerk of the Mechanics
hotel has , identified the prisoner as Simon
Uonchmnn , who sluytd one night in bis
lioiihO. Tbo suit of clothes in which Berg
man made his furious attack on Frick was
bought hero. So was his hat. He says to
bought bis revolver In tnu liowery In Now
York , but Ibis was doubted. Nothing what
ever was found upon lnui which Rives a
clew. Ho booms to Imvo deliberately taken
every precaution to conceal his identity bo-
fnro trohiir to Frlck's ofllco. and had hU plan
ol committing BUicuio upon uriuit , uccn suc
cessful ho uould buvo remained n mystery ,
because the fulmlnlto cap would have blown
his fa co away , leaving uinuu corpse Unit no
ona could rocogmzo.
/f l''ollonoil hy n Curious Mob.
Much to bis own surprise and to that of
V everybody else. liergmau was transferred to
* the Jail at 8 o'clock this evening. Detectives
Blioro and Colson called nt the station and
quickly walked tha prisoner away , hoping
ttuis to evade any public attention. A couple
of sharp gnmlns standing at the corner of
Cherry alley recognized BorgiLnn and nt
on co begun to form n procession. The ofilcers
tried to drlvo them away and lo deny ihui
tdoir prisoner wus tlio notorious anarchist ,
but the bovH ' followed thorn , tolling ovorvouo
they met. At Fifth avenue fullv 100 people
\vcro eagerly crowding forward to see iho
man. und oy Iho llmo Ibo Jail gates \\cro
reached there must have been twice that
number on hand. Thcro was nn demonstra
tion of any sort , the people seeming to bo
actuated bv curiosity simply.
When Bergman wus turned over to
\Varnon MoAlccso ho was 'searched ami
no I ; I'd the usual questions , tin guvo his
iiuinu as Alexander Bnrgmnn.
"What is your other name , Alexander ! "
tno warden usked.
"Ob , this niiino will oo for the present. "
"Very well , Uorgnian It is. "
"I'm willing to stuy Bergman for u while ,

PiTTsnuno , Pa. , July 2-1. H. 0. Fnak slept
well during the night nnd rastcd odilly
today. Ills tumporuturo is OS and ho seems
to ba qullo cheerful and oonlldent of his re

cut was discovered today , which was missed
In tbo examination mndo Saturday. It is In

inoit severed the tondons. Ho complained
of a pain In the leg , out his attonilunts 1111 *
Uitlned that It was of tbo other' ' wounds ho

nnd relief followed.
Tbo patient has passed Iho day listening to

Ho has also wono over the papers qulto
closely nnd discussed their contents ,
H Is the Intention ot his associates m tbo

"I sula I would bo back at tbo ofllco on

Dr. LItchfield who is in constant attondnnco
nt the house says Mr. Frick Is doing nicely
and unless something now unlocked for hap
pens the patient will be up nnd about In n

There Is much more anxiety In the family
over Mrs. Frlck's condition than her bus *
band's. ' She became n mother twelve days
nco and has boon In n weak and nervous
condition , nnd yesterday the papers were
kept from her , and sno was given to under

DRUMMED OUT OF CAMP. .
Severe rnnlsliinent oln , Military Man Who
Cheered for I'rlcli'n AnHitluiit.
Pa. , July 21. Private la ms
of company 1C , Tenth rezlmont , shouted
yesterday afternoon whan tbo report of the
attempted assassination of Mr. Frick roacbed
thu brigade ; "Thren cheers for the assas
sin. "
Colonel Strootor , from his quarters , hoard
the incondlary shout. Ho burriod into the
camp and ordered the regiment to bo paraded
in double quick tlmo. Wnen his command
wus drawn up ho recited lo tbo soldiers the
remark no bad heard.
" 1 heard the volco distinctly , " the 'colonel ,
said. "I think I recognized it , nnd 1 xvant
the man who made the statement to advance
two paces. "
The colonel hud recognized lams' volco ,
and ho was standing directly in front of the
accused. Immediately Private lams stoppca
to the front. He was trembling Ilka an
aspen , nnd ho scorned unable lo hold his
gun.
gun."You offered three cheers for the killing
of Mr. Frtctt , did you not ! " the colonel
askoj.
lams did not answer. Ho huntr his head
and noddoJ In the nftlrmativo. Ha was or
dered to tbo guardhouse. Tno colonel nnd
his staff , including tbo surgeons , than wont
to the guardhouse.
Hunt Up by the Thumb * .
The ofllcor of the day took charge of the
criminal and ut the colonel's orders ho was
hung up by the thumbs for thirty minutes.
Tbo surgeons remained with the unfortunate
during nil his punishment ; ono of them koot
watch on bis pulse whllo another looked
after his heart , and nt the end of thirty min
utes Surgeon Neff ordered him taken down.
When released lams was limp and ap
parently unconscious. Tno surgeons re
mained with him for an hour , when ho wus
taken to bis quarters.
Tbo severity of lams' punishment was
duo to bis refusal to take baolc or apologize
for the expression. Today one side of his
bead was shaved and tha buttons cut from
bis uniform , of which ho was then 'tripped.
Ho was given a suit of cast-off plain cloth
ing , part being a pair of overalls , and was at
once drummed out of camp.
The proceedings were approved by General -
oral Snowdcn. Young lains lives nt

FltlOK'S XKtlVtt.
To His Itomiirhnblo Self-Possession Ho
A.IOIIO Owen UlH Ilie.
P.Trsnono , Pa. , July U4. Mr. Frick was
nblo this afternoon to describe to a friend
more fully tbo Assault.
After the shots had been llrod Uorgman
still held his revolver in his right , while
with tbo loft baud he drew the knife. Mr.
Lclscbmun bad the maddened assassin by
the left band irying lo wrest the knife from
him und Mr. Frick iliad clutched his throat.
Thus the three men\ struggled und swayed
about the roam. Bergman in tno mcantliuo
lustily plunged his knife , culling deep on his
victim oo every opportunity that the chances
and changes of thostrucglo gave him. Three
of the wounds barely missed being fatal.
Nothing in his lifo has so thoroughly dem
onstrated Mr. Frlck's ' courage and self-con
trol us iho dastardly assault upon hl < Ufa and
the exciting scenes which followed. All who
wcro lu the ofllco trom tbo time tbo assassin
fired tbo allots until bo was removed to bis
residence In Home-wood agree lhat bo was
calmer and more soil-possessed than any ono
about him. Ho could hoar the newsboys on
Ibo streets shoullng : "All about tbo assas
sination of H. C. Fricid" and the voices of
thousands of people , crowded into ' 'Vtli nvo-
uuo about his ofllco , but ho was as little af
fected by ibis ns tnough It hid been a matter
in which bo was not directly interested.
Hu ICeinnlnoil bllent.
"It Is singular , " Mr. Frlck said later , "that
Dorgman did not attack mo in the hall in
stead of waiting to follow mo In tbo oftlce.
I saw him out there as 1 came down the
elevator. Ho was walking uo and down. I
saw ha was a bttanior , and I glaoccd at him
as I passed in. Ho did not seem excited.
It wns n curious thing that In the
whole of the attack on mo nnd the sub
sequent struggle tbo man was absolutely
HilenU Ho never uttered a word or a cry
from ilrst to last. I fancy be must have hud
n dynamite cartridge in his mouth , which
acted ns a gag. "
At midnight Mr. Frlck was sleeping
easily , there was no fever and everything
Indicated steady improvement.

WASHINGTON. D. C. , July 2
Thcro Is not a democrat or republican In
Wnsbicgton tonight who is not nauseated at
thu statements of Chairman Holman of the
ng the adjournment of congress and tnopro-
> osocl World's fair appropriation , it being
suggosicd that Holman is not only in bis
dotage , but that tboro is something radically
wrong about his calculator.
His first objection to the vVorld's fair ap
propriation was that there waa not money In
the treasury to meet it. It has never been
iroposed to take the money out of the treas
ury , but to Uke 83,000,000 of Old , ubrasod
and useless subsidiary coins nnd racoln it
ute souvenir half dollars.
It Is Knlo or Hum With Him.
Then tbo chairman of the commlttoo on
appropriations declares that rather than ap
propriate this useless money , the sundry np-
iropriullon , ono of the most important of all
.ho regular annual appropriations for the
support of the regular institutions of Iho gov
ernment , shall fail. Ho has sot his foot
.lioro and until his position bocaino known
t looked like bo would uofoat tbo bill and all
tboro is In it. Now the bcr.tof prevails that
this hostility to the World's fair provision
will glvo It strength and that the bill and
fair provision will pass this week.
The impression prevails now that congress
will adjourn a week from tomorrow.
It Is the belief of tbo bast minds m the
senate that the anti-option measure
will cither bo recommitted to tbo
sonata committee on Judiciary or
defeated. Tbo question of constitu
tionality has boon raised. If it goes to Judi
ciary committee again it will , of course , stay
tboro until next winter. If thU is douu the
bill may bo defeated on a direct vote. Tbo
opposition to the measure comes from demo
crats mostly. Tbo Jew republicans who op
pose tha bill are from the east , in boards of
trade centres.
Munlcy Hus Asplrntlona.
A report is In circulation that the object of
Joseph H. Mutiloy in resigning from the

that be U thinking of asking Ibat the

Tbo rumor at Bar Harbor is that Mr. and

Its 1'Inao In History.
This Fifty-second congress , whoso tint
sessiou Is "so near Its'ond , will pass Into his
tory nil the "Do-Nothing Congress.1' It
tried bard to carn'for itself the title of the
"Nickel Congress , " but it could not oven
accomplish that feat , the appropriations for
this session being so near to tbojo of Iho first
session of tbo last congress as to stlenco tbo
democratic onltuel , "the Billion-Dollar Con
gress. "
Tuo reason why this congress has ac
complished so little beyond making tbo abso
lutely necessary appropriations to carry on
the business of tbo government Is the exist
ence of the overwhelming democratic major
ity m tbo bouse und the determination of tlio
democratic minority in the senate to blooi
any legislation thnt could by any possibility
rolled any credit upon the republicans. Fo'r
ttiis reason , knowing how hopeless uuy effort
would be , the republicans have confined their
efforts to a comparatively limited number of
measures and to proven'ting Iba democratic
majority from enacting ovll legislation. For
example , the democratic senators , aldoj by a
few republicans from tbo sliver-states , were
able to send to the bouse a free coinazo bill.
13nt in the house Iho compact und solid re
publican minority was able to prevent 83 per
cent of Inn democrats from foisting free sil
ver upon the country.
Democratic Consistency ,
Notwithstanding the democratic cry for an
Increase of circulation tbo democrats buvo
succeeded by parliamentary Jugglery in de
feating tuo bill introduced by Senator Shor-
wuu , allowing Iho national banks to Usuu
notes to tbo full par value of their deposited
bonds , Instead of limiting tboir circulation to
00 per cant of the par value. Had this bill
become law it would huvo increased tbo cir
culation of national bank notes by 10 per
cent , or about 15.000.000. or about li.'j coats
per capita. Iho bill pissed the senate , and
was then so amended in Ibo bouso as to make
it necessary to send it lo a conforcnco com
mittee that parliamentary gravoyurd of so
many measures , notb good and bud. In Iho
conference committee the democrats voted
solidly against tiny agreement. Tno real
motive of the democrats in defeating this
bill was in the interest of Another piece
of financial legislation most vicious in Its
character. This is the bill to remove
the prohibitive Internal revenue tax upon
the Issue of paper money by atuto banus.
' 1 his bill Is in thorough harmony with the
Chicago platform , which plainly declares in
favor of such money. Many pcoplo will
remember the trouble , Inconvenience- and
fiequcnt losses caused by tbo old system ,
wbiub preceded Iho national oank system , of
state notes. Tbo bill which would make a
renewal of this system possible uas passed
by Ibo house , but could not of course pass
Ibo republican senaio. Of course , ihti reestablishment -
establishment of the stuta bank system
would be n fatal blow to the nallonal banks ,
as , oven though the slalo banks Issued circu
lating no 103 upon Iho same security a * na
tional banks united States bonds they
could and would issue 10 percent more upon
the same security jban tbo national banks ,
and with such a handicap no system could
live , Tbo state bunks would drive the na
tional bank * out of existence , and tbi > ro
would follow an era of as many different
kinds of paper currency us there nra * states ,
accompanied by un enormous increase- the
"green goods" business.
Talked to Ijouth hy the Democrats ,
Ouc most meritorious measure , which the
democrats In the house talked to death , after
it had passed the scnuto , wns Senator
Mandorson's printing bill. This bill pro
vided lor a complete reorganization of tlio
government printing ofllco and our present
s\stom of public priming. Under It the
publications of the government , of all Kinds ,
would bo iebuud witli greater system , with
inoro accuracy , nnd with less cost to thn
public The bill would save to the treasury
at least u quarter of u million dollars u year ;
but bccaubo It would have deprived demo
cratic congressmen of a little pally prUron-
ugo they belled their protcnsos of "economy
und reform" by refusing to allow this excel
lent measure to bucomo a law. Undoubtedly
tnoro were a tew of the shrewder domocratlu
loaders who appreciated the merits of this
bill and who would bavo lluod to sen it ba-
comoluw ; but they wore unublo to accoin-
plUh an ) thing , occauso. under thu rules , tlio
hungry rabble were nblq to block -iho busi
ness of tbo bouso at any tlmo , as ox-Speaker
Hoed so forcibly pointed out at the tlmo.
While thus refusing , for tbo euko of pat-
rouagp , to save the government & .VJ.OOJ u
yuar , the confdJnrato , brigadiers who con
trolled the bouso refused to concur in the
action of tbo senate in appropriating $100,000
to pay tbo expense of transporting the flour
contributed by tbo farmers and millers ol
ho weU to the starving peasantry of Russia.
This Inhuman notion [ Wns dictated bv the
most contemptible tnqilvcs of revenge , because -
cause tbo southern brigadiers romcmbarod
; ho friendly nlliludo ojf. .Uussla toward the
United States government during Iho rebel *

&lan mon-of-wnr in Untied States ports do-
[ orrcd iho Llrltlsh government from oponl.V
recognizing tha\coufoilcrncy , wltb which It
was in secret nnd Uiou1uiul | sympathy.
Another tt'ixld Meiiiuro Kilted.
Anothnr rocnsuVe of great merit which
passed the scnntd bul which the house suc
ceeded In swoinerlnlr In conference was the
bill for the reorganization of the army. This
bill would have saved the government $301)-
000 n year , and at the same tlmo would bavo
placed tba army tlpon u tnoro ofllclont basis
by making a larger skeleton organization ,
nnd would have increased t'io opportunities
fur deserving men to work their way up from
the ranks nnato attain the rank of commis
sioned ofllcorg. After passing thu sonata the
bill was antagonized in tbo house by n coun
ter bill , which pretended to have the same
nurnose. but which nil military exports
agreed in pronouncing" Wholly impraciicuoio
nnd worthless. Tha result wns a conference
committee , the democratic member : ) of which
have prevented any report. Tno southern
brlpndlors who control the house have nodr-
sira to increase the cfllclonc.v of tha federal
army , oven thouglf that were to bo accom
plished with on actual saving of expanses to
the government ; and so again they exposed
the holiowncis of their sham cry for "econ
omy nnd reform. " , '
More r lso Kconomy ,
Then there was ipb Paddock public bu'ld- '
intr bill , which proposes to glvo every eltv
having 5,000 population or an annual postal
revenue of $5,000 a federal building to bo
occupied by Us postofllco and other federal
oilces ! , tbo building nnd site 16 cost from
$ " 0,000 upward , tbo price to bo ccrudod ac
cording tn size of city or town or aggregate
postal receipts. It passed tbo ncnato early
in this session , and Wont to the house com
mittee on postofllcttt and post roadswhoro It
nas not been dignified by oven a slight con
sideration , nlthuuKh all of the members of
tbo committee urt familiar with Its pro
visions , sb populafifs the proposition and so
generally has it bpon discussed. It was
shown that , bos1n > s < glving quito nil towns
of 4,000 or 5.0UO pbnultufon a handsome post-
office bulldtncr , It would yield tbo govern
ment in rent , by-way of nn Investment ,
about U per cent , not counting tbo increase
of the real citato vollro.
Tension ulllt Defeated.
When the present pnnslons committee of
the house was unpointed last December , it
was announced by..tho southern brigadiers
that the union veterans would not bo per
mitted to enjoy the 'benellti of any general
pension legislation by this congicss. The
promise has boon kopt/ ( Not a single general
