MORTON'S PROMISES.
His Predictions About tho Maine Election
and How They Were Falsified.

His Predictions About tho Maine Election,
and How They Were Faisifed.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Sept l6-President Cleveland
is rapidly losing faith In the assertions Of his
subordinates. The latest ono to convince the
President that his officials are not absolutely re-
liable when they make political promises is that
tried, trusted and true patriot, Morton, Com
missioner of Navigation. Morton, it will be
membered, was the leader of the dirty-work
brigade in Maine in the campaign of 1884. As q
reward for his services he was selected as post
master for Augusta, but the Senate convinced
the President that it would be useless to try to
force such appointment on the people, and
MI Mortons name was put down for the impor-
tant post of Commissioner OF Navigation Sir
Joseph Porter, in Gilbert Sc Sullivan's comic
opera, "Pinafore," gives as advice for obtaining
the highest place in the British navy. those lines
which every music lover knows so we'll:
Stick fast to your desks and never go to sea,
And you may be rulers of the Queens navee.
Morton did not know a marlin spike from q
hawser, and this is probably the reason why he
was selected as chief Of the Bureau of Naviea-
tion. At least this was one Of the reasons.
Another was his supposed ''pull" among the
politicians of Maine. Mr.. Morton promised all
sorts Of things this year, among others the de-
feat OF Congressman Reed and the reduction of
the Republican majority of 1854 by at least so
per cert In some Of his most enthusiastic
moments it is understood that he even went so
far as to predict the election of Putnam, that
great diplomatic to whose mammoth brain was
due, in part at least, ths conception of the fish
cries treaty, to the governorship Of the State.
Morton tried TO fulfill his promise. He worked
far more faithfully In the interest of the Democ-
racy in Maine than be did In the interest of the
people at large who have business with his
bureau. Mr. Morton left no stone unt1rned to
gain Republican votes, and within three days of
the election Is reported to have informed the
President that the prospects exceedingly
bright; that Reed would certainly be defested,
and that there was not the fsiutest possibility
that the Republican majority would exceed
5000. The President has learned that it is un-
safe to put your faith in commissioners. and
that there some things in Maine politics
which even Morton does not know.

THE wBITECHAPEL FIEND.

Tho British Capital Waiting to BE Startled
by Another Hideous Crime.
London Cable Special to PIttsourg Dispatch.
This huge town presents an odd spectacle. II
is waiting for murcar to be committed. It
firmly believes that murder will come, that it
will cone IN a certain locality, that il will
be very horrible. The Whitechspel murderer.
whose blood-thirsty methods of killing fout
women were described to you last week. has
probably by this time become imbued with
firm conviction of immunS " from police vigil
ance, and, unless he intendft to let his average
fall of, be must, within day or two, come out
with fresh killing more startling than any Of bis
previous crimes. The performances OF the far
famed Scotland Yard in their hunt for the
murderer have been exquisitely ridiculous.
They have gone miles from the scene of the
murder TO arrest individuals who. having been
drunk and ousrrelsome over night. ehanced to
awaken with bloody heads and noses But they
knew nothing OF the bloody tracks leading from
the scene of one Of the murders through several
adjoining yards until these were pointed out by
q little girl, who had appointed herself q detect
i've. The theory still holds that the man must
be insane who brutally murdered four women
simply from love of bloodshed. but, il he is
maniac, he must be fairly clever one to have
escaped even the clumsy vigilance of Scotland
the rest OF London immensely.
One effect of the series of murders has been
TO increase tremendously the popularity of

ders, and one which hstters the vanity OF the
perpetrator, is that they threaten no less than
the overthrow OF one of ber Majesiys Cabinet
officers. Home Secretary Matthews is local head
of the police. aud upon him the popular indig-

PERCY'S PERILOUS TRIP,
lie Passes Through Niagara Rapids. Losing
His Boat, but Escaping with His Life.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NIAGARA FALLS, Sept 16.--After many trials,
c. A. Percy made his second trip through the
whirlpool rapids this afternoon. At 2:25 o'clock
bis boat was taken down to the old Maid Of the
Mist landing and launched. At AIS everything
was In readiness, and Percy, dressed in rowing
suit stepped in and rowed toward the cen
ter Of the river. At 40 be fastened the
oars to the boat. stood up and waved goodbye
to the crowds of on-lookers. At 4:23 he stepped
into the air chamber, and at 4:26 passed under
tho bridge. At almost the first toss the ooat
went out Of sight and rose bottom VI. 1t
seemed edge before it righted itself but

The trip was very similar to the one Percy
made on Aug IS. 1887. He arrived at the whirl-

maiued in the whirlpool until $40. when
he was towed across the lower
reef and started on his trip
to Lewiston. The rapids below tie whirlpool

those above Just as he was passing Foster
flats, about mile below the pool, huge breaker
dashed in the door of his air-chamber, filing 1T
with water. He was at once compelled to take the
center of the boat, but before he could properly
secure himself be was thrown OFT in the rapids.
He managed to catch the boat to which he
clung for half q mile. whom he was dashed away
just where the rapids are most fierce. Having
on a life preserver to buoy HIM up. he started
for Lewiston, three miles below. Two miles
was through the rapids, and for near
ly al hour he battled with the waves.
When he reached calmer water several
boats were on the lookout for him. He was
picked up just under the old Lewiston
bridge, and brought ashore aud carried into the
Wsggoner House, nearly exhausted. Had il
not been for bis life-preserver he would have
been drowned. The boat has not yet been
picked up. Percy has uniutentionally performed
feat never before attempted, that of swimming
