AprohIbItIon state sp.ls STORY.

A few days ago james Campbell and Fred
Braig went to Government island, opposite
Bellevue, Iowa, on a cunning trip. They
had not rome more thar 200 yards from
their landing place when Braig, who had tax
en- the lead, discovered a huge snake lying at
full length a few feet in front of them. Braig
instantly cooked his gun and leyeiing it at
the snake pulled the trigger. The Weapon
failed to 80 OF, however, and while he
WAS in the act OF putting on a fresh cap
the reptile started toward Braig and his
companion, who turned and fed precipitately
toward their boat, the snake pursuing and
gaining on them rapidly, as they discovered
by looking back over their shoulders. They
barely had time to jump into the boat aud
push it from shore before the reptile reached
the landing place, and gliding into the water,
continued it's pursuit OF BrGiS and Campbell,
who were nearly paralyzed Will fear. The
snake swan rapidly, and, reaching the side
OF the boat, had raised it's head to the rail
when Braig struck it across the neck with
ono OF the oars. and surcreded by a wclI-dircct.

u moceasin, and measured eight feet in
length, its body at the thickest part being
IVA inches in circumference.
A party of three white men, J. d. Smith,
Vim. Eastman and E.. ]. Jordan, all residents
OF Memphis, were strolling in the suburbs,

marked that he would take a ride. As he
approached the animal Jim Conley, a negro,
called out to them TO let the mule alone, at
the same time applying opprohrious epithcts.
Couley was seated in his yard, and Smith
and Eastman started toward him. Conlev
ran into his house and shut tie door. A
second afterwards n shotgun was thrust
through the window aud discharged. The
contents struck Eastman IN the head, killing
him instantly. Smith ran over to where
Eastman was, and as he was bending over
the body, the other barrel of the gun was
discharged. He was struck in the left side
with several buckshot. and ia mortally
wounded, Conley, after the shooting, fed.

The two women found murdered near the
scene of the former hutcheries in Whitechapel
in London have been recognized as dissolute
characters who have long frequented that
vicinity. One of them was found in Berner
street with her throat cut from ear to ear. The
other was discovered lying in Mitre square.
She, like the first mentioned victim, had her
throat cut, but in addition she had been dis
s~mbuweled and her nose had been cut on.
The murderer had evidently been disturbed
in his work in Berner street, and had no time
to mutilate the body of his victim. Tn DIS
cOvery of the bodies completely paralyzed
the police, ard Gen. Sir Charles Warren, chief
commissioner, was at once called cut of bed.
He repaired Immediately to the scene OF the
murders, and gave orders to have the police
force in that district strongly reinforced.
London is in q fever of excitement and the
denizens Of Whitechapel are in n state OF
terror, owing to the resumption
Of the horrible butcheries, the
fourth of which it was hoped, and quite gen.
orally believed, would be the last of the
CHASTITY series. The police are positively
helpless and their tacit admission Of
failure to find any clue what
soever to the perpetrator Of the
terrible crimes only serves 10
add to the CONSERVATION of the unfortunate
creatures whose calling has manifestly made
them the objects of the inhuman butchers
fury. The number OF theories advanced us
accounting for the murders and seeking to
establish the identity Of the murderer is pos
lively bewildering. but none of them is ac-
cepted by the police as the correct one, al
though the Scotland Yard detectives have
nothing more plausible TO oferior themselves
in a letter, which is written in a ~scrawliEg
hand, familarIy addressed Dear Boss" and
signed, Jack, the Ripper" After Boosting
that he committed all OF the W~hitechapel
murders, the writer continues:

The President signs the ELL.

The president transmitted q message to
congress, in which he says: 81 nave this day
approved House bill No. Il 1886 supplement
tHry to an act entitled A act to execute GER
tain treaty stipulations relating to Chinese
immigration approved May o, 1850" The
news was received in San Francisco with a
marked degree of interest. Largecrowds con-
gregated around the newspaper bulletin
boards and discussed the situation, The
Chinese manifested considerable excitement.
The principal subject of discussion is a. to
what effect the measure will have upon the
several thousand Chinese who have arrived
within the past year and been
landed by the federal courts upon writs OF
habeas corpus and are on bail awaiting ex-
animation; and also upon the 1000 more
Chinese who are now on their way to this
port. About 200 Chinese arrived here on the
steamer City of New York. The Belgic will ar
rive with 800. Three other steamers n-a on
the Pacific with over 1000 celestials bound
for San Francisco. Collector of the port
Hagger expressed himself as being doubtful
Of the bills effectiveness. He said:
The present bill is intended to exclude
Chinese. So was the restriction act. But did
the restriction act exclude them. 2 II the same
principle is applied TO this bill as was ap-
piled to the other do not see thatit is going
to be any great Improvement. II the courts
can continue TO land Chinese on writs of
. Aii wa WI aAlu Dllo " VII ohI Bull VII
bail, that viii abrogate any kin of ~restric-
ton attempted by congress. When they are
allowed, they are in the country, and they
then forfeit their bail and remain herein spite
\ of the law.
The collector concluded By stating that In
all probability, when officially informed Of
the passage and approyalof the bill, he would
refuse landing to Chinese whether bearing re-
turn certificates or not, unless a writ of ha-
beas corpus we're issued by the courts, in
which case the matter would be out of his
hands.
United States District Attorney Carey
stated that in his opinion the bill could not
affect the 1000 Chinese now out on bail, but
he believed that those now on their way here
would be refused landing. He further stated
that he did not believe writs of habeas cor
pus would be issued, except, possibly In one
or two cases in order to make a test of the
matter.
4 prominent lawyer, who handles Chinese
cases almost exclusively in federal courts,
stated that in his opoinion writs of habens
corpus would still have to be issued TO
Chinese demanding them as il was a con.
stitutional right, and that bail also would
have to be issued as heretofore. He also
expressed the belief that all Chinese holding
return certificates could return to this conn
try in spite ofthe exclusion bill, as the United
States supreme court las decided on several
occasions that congress cannot annul exist.

The German-AmeFican voters in Ohio and
n the old Northwest are DESERVING the demo-
cratic party to a degree that is Aighly com
plimentary to their good sense. This Is
largely due to the ~Clearness, force and ability
With which leading German newspapers out
there have stated the great issue of the cam
paign. We refer to such journals as the
Chicago Stats Zeitung and the Cincinnati
Volksblatt and Freie Press. The first named
we have mora than once quoted from. No
clearer analysis of the inevitable Free Trade
tendencies of the Mills bill has been made
anywhere than has been given by this widely
circulated and powerful newspaper,
The Cincinnati yolksblatt has n very ef-
fective style OF exposing the sectional charac-
ter of the Mills bin, For instance it says
that the bin retains a tariff OF go per cent.
on sugar, and 100 per cent. on rice. Is this
done in order to reduce the necessaries oflife?
None but She sugar lords, as far as we can
see derive a benefit from il, unless 1t be
President Cleveland, to whose reelection
these gentlemen contribute literally"
The FTeie Press ought to know the drift OF
German-Ameriean sentiment in Ohio, n it
says that 1.-THE supposition that most OF
the citizens who nave been n%aturalized
since the last Presidential election will
vote for Harrison and Morton and
the protection Of home industry
is perfectly correct. These people appreciate
the benefits which they and the whole country
owe to protective Tariff. Their experience
and comparison with their position in the
old and new Fatherland will te2ch them that
to vote with the democrats and Free Trade
would be the lowering of their own wages"
These ore encouraging indications. The
Intelligent German-AmeTican yo~ters-whethel
they ike or hate acknowledgement him as
The greatest man living. and they know that
German experience has proved that he wa:
never wiser than when, in 1882. he urged q
Protective policy in the German Riehstag
because" said he, "it is my deliberate judg
ment thas the prosperity of America il
mainly due to it's system of Protective laws
[ urge that Germany has now reached that
. point where it is necessary to initiate th'
tariff system of the United States"

Emperor Williams Diary.

The Nachrichten, a German, newspaper,
referring Il the arrest of Prof. Geffcken, says
that the first stPps-the discovery and
arrest of the divulger of Emperor Frederick's
diary-were left to the prosecutor at Berlin,
chief prosecutor ut Iepsic. The Vossiche
Zeitung contends that an action for breach
OF copyright could legally be taken by the
heit7l of Frederick against the German pa
pers which published the diary, and that, under
existing copyright conventions, an action
could also DO brought against foreign journal
lists for the same oflense. The Heichsbote pub
fishes an extract from the diary written by
Emperor Frederick in 1859, during his travels
In the East, in which he treats OF bis visit to
Jerusalem. Portions OF Emperor Frederick :
Eastern diary we're published in July last in
the Darrnstadt military journal, and In
August in ths magazine Won Fels Zum
Nicer, without evoking comment. Prof.
Geffcken states that he bad the en-
pcror's permission TO publish the diary
months after his death. The examination
Of Prof. Geffehen lasted sevea hours. He was
calm. His wife, the daughter Of the Poet
I~mmermann, wns much affected by the inn
prisonment OF Der husband. The Prussian
government is negotiating with the free city
of Hamburg for the extradifion of Prof.
Gcacken. The Berlin Post recounts the an
eedotes OF Prof Gcffcken for tho purpose OF
showing that he has always been a system
attic and persistent adversary of Bismarck
and the Bismarckian policy. The Kreuz
Zietung says that Gefcken Is O decided free
trader.
