Emperor William Peaceful.

The German reichstag reassembled on the
23d. Emperor William opened the session
in person. In his speech he said that the
tours he had recently made had convinced
that the desire for imperial unity was
deeply rooted in the people. He referred to
the inclusion Of Hamburg and Bremen in the
German customs union, and to the conclu-
sion of a commercial convention with Switzer.
land. He was g~ratiied to know that trade
had improved, and said that the prospect of
higher prices for farming products justified
the hope of an improvement in agriculture.
He emphasized the pacific character of Ger
many's foreign relations and policy, and
said that his visits abroad, which had
been undertaken with a view to effect
ing all understanding in the interests OF
peace, had caused universal confidence in the
maintenance of peace. The emperor made
no reference to any military bills or credits,
and touched but briefly upon East African
affairs. The emperor says: l do nothopeto

The president then called the body to order
and the budget was presented. 1t balances
at 949, 1O3, 9O7 marks. 1t includes ap.
preparations for the several new
war ships to be built in adj
dition to those already building.
The additions comprise four iron clads, nine
smaller armed vessels, seven corvettes, four
cruisers, two dispatch boats and two torpedo
boats. The budget committees announced
that the existing war ships were still service
able but were becoming unadapted to the
times. Therefore they urged the necessity Of
creating the nucleus OF q irst-class navy,
comprising ships of from 5000 to 10000
tons, extending under this head 16, 900
marks, to be distributed over a period Of ten

secretary.
Mrs. Sadie Walters, we'll dressed, rather
goodlooking and twenty-eig h years old, was
before the Insane Court at Chicago. She is
the vile of a t~raveling-man in comfortable
circumstances, who lives on the North Side.
Mr.. Walters and his wife's brother, George
Stang, told the Court that Mrs. Walters had
become insane through the excessive use of
cigarettes. She had been mentally deranged
for nearly a year, and five months ago she
became helpless. Her mania was to buy ar
ticles of clothing for her husband, and she
had stocked the house with enough to last
all his life. A few days ago she became
violent. Two years ago she suffered from
hay fever. and somebody recommended cubeb
cigarettes. From the seshe went to tobacco
cigarettes, which she had smoked constantly.
She was adjudged insane.

The Whitechapel Murderer.

London was thrown into intense excite
ment again by the report that another VIC
tim had fallen under the hand of the White
off communication with that quarter.
Crowds of people gathered to learn all the
CHASTITY details of the tenth murder and
mutilation, but it was all a good deal of q
"scare." No murder was committed, but
one was attempted and frustrated. Accord
ing to@the story of the woman upon whom
the assault was made, the man lac accom-
panied her to her room, struck her once with
a knife but was frightened away by her cries
for help. The woman claims to be fully able
to identify the man.
The police are 10th to believe that this at
tempt was made by the original murderer,
and many are of the opinion hat the woman,
who is of the very lowest class of abandoned
creatures, inflicted the wound herself while
drum k, as she only sustained a slight abra-
sion of the throat.
The principal reason given by the police for
their belief that the mornings attempted
murder was not the work of the real White
chaple fiend, is the fact that both the would
be murderer and his intended victim drank
themselves into a state of inebriety, a condi-
ton that the perpetrator of the previous
crimes was obviously eefrom, and then went
to an ordinary lodging house, at the DOR of
which q government Inspector is always in
attendance. This circumstance, together
with the fact that the time of attempting to
kill the woman was as ill,judged with refer
ence to the escape of the murderer as the
place, induces the belief that the man is a
maudlin imitator of "Jack the Ripper" who
will be exceedingly unlikely to repeat his
performance. Nevertheless, if he is caught in
the vicinity of Spitalfelds, he will certainly
be lynched. 1t is significant, however, that,
in spite of the asseyerations of their con-
viction that the assault upon the woman can
not be connected with the chain of White
chapel butcheries, the police are, if possible,
putting forth greater %exertion than ever to
accomplish the arrest of her assilant. The
really interesting incident of the day is
another letter from "Jack, the Ripper"
dated Portsmouth. Here it ia:
Dear Boss:
sit is no good for you to look for me in
London, because l am not there. Don't
trouble yourself about me till I return, which
will not be very long. / like the work too
well to leave it long. Oh, that was such a
jolly job, the last one. / had plenty of time
to do it properly. Ha! Hal The next lot 1
mean to do with a vengeance-tocutof their
heads n arms. You think it is a man
with a black mustache. Hal Ha! Hal
When l have another you can catch me; SO
good bye, dear boss, till / return. Yours,
JACK THE RIPPER.
The letter is in the same handwriting as
the one received just before Mary Kelly was
murdered.

. Young German-American, who

A young German-American, who
by four years residence in Africa is
entitled to add another to his list OF
n~ationalities, has just returned from
the Congo region. He brings back
with him a young African prince,
nine years old, whose father is king
in the LonagonC Country. The object
of this visit to this country is to
civilize the prince, teach him the
language and customs of the United
States, and then return him to his
native land. Bringing the lad here,
rather than to Germany, will teach
him our language and methods OF
Government, andundoubte dly better
fit him for usefulness when he returns.
But it does seem strange that an
ayowedly German colonization OF
Africa should take this course. ~

slaye.Driying in MASSACHUSETTS,

Charles r. Parsons, of Northampton,
Mass, notorious for hiring ignorant immi-
grants at Castle Garden and leasing their
services to farmers, was arrested for having
a Polander dressed only in o~yeralls, shoes
and asthin coat, chained to the seat of his
buggy and suffering intensely from the cold,
which literally froze the tears on his purple
cheeks. The people were greatly excited over
the matter, and Parsons arrest is all that
saved him from being mobbed. He will be
tried for assault, false imprisonment and
cruelty. Parsons stated in an inter.
view that the Pole was secured by
him at Castle Garden last Il May.
For the first few months the
Pole worked well, but later began to act
queerly and show signs of insanity. Finally
escaping, he was brought back to Northamp.

to work for him. but soon concluded from.
his queer actions that the man was insane
and decided to send him back to New York

to prevent him from getting away. Some
Holyoke Poles interviewed the victim Of the
affair and learned his story. He is twenty
years old, n came to this country

says he had to work very hard from
morning until111 o'clock at night while
Sunday he was kept ut work In the barn. He
had been promised $12.50ea month for His
services, but never received q cent. When
work failed he returned to Parsons, but was
not well treated, Parsons put him into the
wagon and bound him by force. On his Ways

times and left him so long that he was nearly
frozen when he reached Che city. His only

The Whitechapel Murder.

A man was nrres ted in London in conneo
ton with the Whitechapel crimes. He gave
his name as Dr.. Kumblety of New York. He
could not be held on suspicion, but the police
succeeded in getting him under the special
law passed soon after the "modern Babylon"
exposure.
Billy Pinkertown, the detective, of Chicago
noticing the account of the arrest of CDR.
Klumblety" in London as the supposed MUIR
derer OF the Whitechapel victims, gave some
"reminiscences of the man who was well
known in this country by the name of DR..
Washington when he was employed as gov
eminent detective in 1861. Twomblety was
then known as a vender of patent medicine,
and was placed under surveillance by the
army authorities for distributing so-called
medical works, among the soldiers, which
were very obscene books, tending to lower
the morals of men. 1t became SO unpleasant
for him that he left Washington and went
to New York. He practiced certain name
less things, which caused him to be hunted
out of every place in which he made his ap-
pearance, and Pinkerton several years after
wards ran across the anne fellow in all the
principal cities and towns of the Union from
New York to San Francisco. In 1874 he
saw him in E~ngland-in Liverpool and Lon
don. He says:
"People familiar with the history of the
man always talked Of him as a brute, and as
brutal in his actions. He was known as q
thorough woman Halter, and as q man who
never associated With or mixed with women
of any kind. It lie claimed that he was edu-
Gated as q surgeon in Canada, and he was
said to have been quite an expert in surgical
operations.
"Do you think heis the man who commit
ted the Whitechapel murders and that he is

practices as he is known to nave been, ia

Hammond-some time ago, when asked as
to whether or not he thought that the
Whitechapel murderer was an insane man,
said that when the murderer of those women
was discovered he would undoubtedly be
found to be a woman hater and a man
guilty of the same practices which I have
described DR.. Twombley, or Tumblety as
being guilty Of, and that such men were
crazy and 90 likely as not to murder
women
DR.. Kumblety is well known in New York.
His name, however, is Twomblety. Twenty
four years ago ht made his advent in that.
city, and has since been known only as CDR.
TWomblety,o a most eccentric man. He
formerly resided in Nova Scotia, where he
practiced medicine under the name Of DR..
Sullivan. About the time of his appearance
in that city he was q fugitive from Justice,
having fed from Nova Scotia to- escape
punishment for malpractice. Ever since. his
identity became known in New York he has
been under surveillance Of Inspector Byrnes'
knowledge OF his whereabouts. During the
past few years Twombley has opened q
branch office in Londo u, andhas been making
regular trips across the ocean at intervals
of Ave or III months. He was last seen in
New York about i've months ago.
