The hopes Of the London police of catching
the Whitechapel mu rderer, which had almost
entirely died out, were raised to the acme OF
buoyancy in consequence of the testimony at
the Kelly inquest of George Hutchinson, a
groom, who had known the victim for some
years, and who saw her with male compan
ion shortly before O'Clock on the morning
of the murder. Hutchinson testified that he
he saw II well dressed man, with q Jewish east
of countenance, accost the woman on
the street at the hour mentioned
on Friday morning, and the circum.
stance of his acquaintance with her
induced him to follow the pair as they
the mans face as he turned to accompany
the woman, and followed them to Miller
court out of mere curiosity. He had no
thought of the previous murders, and GER
tainly had no suspicion that the man con-
templated violence, since his conspicuous
manifestations of affection for his COM
panion as they walked along formed
to keep them in sight. After
the couple entered the house Hutchinson
heard sounds of merriment in the girls
room, and remained at the entrance to the
court for fully three-quarters of an hour.
About O'Clock the sounds ceased and he
walked into the court but finding that the
light in the room had been extinguished he
went home. During the hour occupied in
standing at the entrance 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 reliance
upon his description of the man, believing
that it will enable them to run him down.
The witness who testified to having seen the
woman enter the house with man with
blotched face was evidently mistaken as to
the night, as his description of her compan,
ion is totally unlike that of Hutchinson's ip
every particular.

At their session in indianapolis, the
Knights of Labor heard the reports of the
general officers and committees. There

ganizations are represented by Mrs. l.. NJ.
Barry of Philadelphia, general organizer and
lecturer, Mrs. A. p. Stevens of Toledo and
Miss Mary Burke Of Bellaire. Ohio. A ses-
sion was almost entirely devoted to the re-
ports of the treasurer, Frederick Turner of
the general Investigator of woman's work
and wages; Mrs. L. NJ. Barry, and of the exec
utive board. The general treasurer gives
an itemized report of the receipts and expen-
ditures for the year ending June 80, 1888,
and in supplementary report up to Oct 81,
1893, as follows:
The receipts in the frst from supplies, per
capital tax journal, charters, special defense
assessment, appeals. and miscellaneous, ag-
grpgate 1922 ,507 90. The expenditures were
1922 ,507.09. including $75,O19.11, dona-
tions; $49, ,83O.67 in salaries; $23, ,OO5.9 .98 in
printing; $14 .959, so in mileage and smaller
items for paper, hotels. railroad fares, badges
and buttons, expressage, etc. For the four
months covered in the supplementary re-
port the receipts were $50 .591. ~, and the
expenditures $42, ,926.63. In conclusion, Mr..
Turner says according to the receipts for
tax the membership has decreased about

year, dIu dU tHt pFeStHC tIIue tuc Teccipub

count of her work during the year in visiting
different parts of the country; her under
standing of her work being that 81 was to do
everything in my power that would in my
Judgment have a tendency to educate and

therance of her work, she has lectured and
also has investigated the work done and

Gus Industries all over the country. Mrs.
Barry gives prices paid women and girls in
various parts of the country visited and
describes the disadvantages under which
they work. She found much to criticise and

dreds of letters are received denouncing the
president. They are consigned by the secre-
taries to the furnace.
The department of state does not antici-
pate any serious results from the complica-
tions between this country and Peru. grow
ing out of the seizure of the building in which
is situated the United States consular agency
at Molendo, Peru. The building which was
seized was the property of the Areguipa
Railway company, the agent for the company
being also the United States consular agent,
and n room in the structure was occupied as
the consulate. The Peruvian government
took possession ofthe buildingin the absence
of the consular agent on instructions from
Lima, alleging that the building had been oc-
cupied solely for a protection. The consular
records were not disturbed. As the action
appeared to be a technical discourtesy to-
ward the United States an apology was re-
quested, but was refused by the Peruvian
government on the ground that it had done
nothing to warrant an apology.

A Mexican Boundary Dispute.

1t is learned at the department of state at
Washington that the conflict over the course
of the Rio Grande river at Ell Paso, between
the inhabitants of that place and the Mexi
can dwellers at Paso del Norte on the oppo
site side of the river. is not a new question,
but that the matter has been the subject oi
correspondence between the governments oi
Mexico and the United States for the past
two years. The first complaint came from
the Mexcans and was to the effect that the
Ell Paso Land and Improvement Company
had constructed works along the American
shore OF the river which were resulting in
heavy erosion of the Mexican bank. To pre-
vent this the Mexicans constructed a series
of dams on their side which projected slight
ly into the river and arrested the process OF
the erosion there but transferred it, as it is
asserted by the Americans, to the Texas side.
The Texan authorities complained of this
state of affairs, and meanwhile the Mexicans
retaliated with charge that the Ell Paso
water supply pipe had been projected faI
enough into the river to affect navigation.
The matter is still under discussion between
the two governments. The treaty of 1884
forbids the construction of works on either
bank that may interfere with navigation OF
change the course of the river. so that the
questions at issue are largely those of facts
as to whether or not the operations op
either side have or will actually result in in
terfereaee with navigation or erosion Of the
banks,

and went into camp. Auditor Harris and q
few other Indians were at Gainesville prepar-
ing for the fray, which they said would come
of, Guy having ordered his men to surround
the Byrd party and exterminate them unless
they surrendered without resistance. These
Indians left at noon for Tishomingo to join
Guys forces, who they say will number 700.
The non-citizens have espoused Guys cause
against the Byrd party. Unless the United
States government interferes it will be war

The United States supreme court, through
Chief Justice Fuller, has rendered an opinion
of unusual interest to holders oflife insurance
policies. Thomas l.. Hume, Of the District
of Columbia. died in 1881 totally insolvent,
but leaving $35, 900 in life insurance policies
The policies were by their terms payable tc
either the widow or children of deceased. The
administrators and creditors of Hume's es
tate sought to force application of the pro
ceeds of the policies to the payment of the
debts due the creditors, on the ground that
the premiums paid by Hume were fraudu
lent transfer of an insolvent estate, and
void as against creditors, and that conse
quently the proceeds of the policies should
insuretg the benefit of Humess estate, and
not to the henefciaries named in the policies
The supreme court holds that the beneficial
ries are entitled to the proceeds ofall the poll
cies without sny deduction whatever on &C
count of premiums paid, holding that q hus-
band and father has a full right to insure his
life in the interest of his wife and children,
and that where such policies are affected in

therefore, cannot be regarded as afraudulent

Iowa Dairy Interests.

The butter, cheese and egg convention
opened at Waterloo, Iowa, with discussion
on Pastures, Drainage and Grasses" The
discussion was animated and exhaustive,
but President Gates seemed to voice the sen.
timent of the major portion of the conven-
ton. He said:
The fertility of the soil of Iowa can be
maintained only by grasses; therefore grasses
should receive all the fertilizers put on the
farm. Dairying is the best business for the
farmers of Iowa, because it takes less fertility
from the soil than any other line of farming.
Dairying is surrey and not slowly enriching
the farmers of the state. Good grace is the
basis of good diary farm, and for this and
adjoining states red clover is the best of all
grasses for the dairyman.
The most interesting feature of the whole
convention thus far, was the address ofH. II.
Heat of Illinois, the originator of the dehorn
ing process. He said three-fOurths of the
abortions in cattle are due to horns. There
is O saving of one-fourth OF the food fed de-
horned cattle, because cattle without horns
eat, drink and sleep together always in
peace and equality. There is no
boss of the herd and none SO weak as to be
driven from food and shelter, as the case in
herds of horned cattle. The address OF
Dairy Commissioner Sherman showed that
the number of creameries in Iowa has in.
creased from 465 In 1887 to $40 in 1888
Cheese factories have grown from SO to 60,
separating machines from 215 to 3S2. The
sale of oleomargarine is decidedly unpopular
in Iowa. no dealer having been known to
take out q second sellers license.
