Sion OF the territory, that portion of the
territory south OF the 46tl parallel Of
latitude to be admitted as the state of
Dakota, and that portion north Of
the 46th parallel to be organized as
Lincoln territory. He defended the
Sioux Falls convention which favored

The whiteehapel Fiend.

LONDON, Nov. 14.-The hopes of the
police of catching the Whiteehapel muir
derer which had almost entirely died out,
were raised to the acme of %buoyancy in
consequence of the testimony ut the
Kelly inquest of Geo. Hutchinson, a
groom who had known the victim for
some years, and who saw her with a male
companion shortly before 2 o'clock on
the morning of thu murder. Hutchinson
testifies that he saw a well-dressed man
with a Jewish cast of countenance accost
the woman on the street at the hour
mentioned Friday morning, aud the cir
cumstance of his acquaintance with her
induced him to follow, as they walked
together. He looked straight into the
mans face as he turned to accompany
the woman, and followed them to Miller
court ont of mere curiosity. He had not
thought of previous murders and GER
tainly had no suspicion that the man
contemplated violence, since his outward
manifestations of affection for his com
panion rs they, walked along formed a
large part Of the incentive Of keeping
them in sight. After the couple entered
the house Hutchinson heard sounds of
merriment in he girls room and re-
| manned at the entrence to the court for
fully three-quarters of an hour. About
B O'Clock tae sounds ceased. He walked
into the court, but finding that the
light in the room had been ex-
tinguished, he went home. During the
hour occupied in standing in the en-
trance to or promenading the court, he
did not see a policeman. There is every
reason to believe Hutchinson's state
ment, and the police place great reli-
ance on his description of the man, be-
lieving it will enable them to run him
down. The witness who testified to
having seen the woman enter the house
with q man with q blotched face, was
evidently mistaken as to the night, as
his description Of her companion is I'M
like Hutchinson'sin every particular. The
bulk of the evidence taken fixes the time
of the murder at between $3.50 and 4
o'clock. 1t has TRANSFERRED that in addi-
ton to the facial humiliation of the MUIR

seInbly was called to order by Grand
Master Workman Powderly. who did
not arrive until morning, the committee
on credentials reported six contests and
protests concerning delegates. District
Assembly 40 Of New York presents the
most serious case, arising out of the con-
tention between James &. Quinn and
Philip j. McGraff, both of whom claim
to be master workman of the district.
Quinn represents the Home club faction,
and favors Powderly's administration.
Dissension has cost the district many
thousand members.
A protest was filed against the admis-
sion OF George A, Schilling of Chicago,
who represents the socialists. He is de-
MED admission to the hall untilthe ques-
UioI is settled.
A large number of ex-general officers
attending the convention are entitled to
the floor of the assembly, but they were
excluded, pending disposition of the re-
port of the credentials committee. In
regard to this action T. b. Barry, who
Is Leading the opposition to Powderly,
said his case WAS n of appeal from the
action of the executive board, in expel-
ling him after he had resigned. He pro-
poses. to carry the fight to the farthest
limit.
Before the assembly will also come the
appeals from the action of master work
man klinesmith, in suspending Arm
strong and Commercial assemblies of this
city, for denouncing Ed Gould, who it is
charged was employed by the democrats
to circulate the charges against Gen.

matters of similar character. Gould is
the delegate from District Assembly I06,
