The clamor about the republican party
favoring free whiskey" has no founda-
ton in point of fact. The platform adopt
ed at Chicago proposes the repeal of taxes
upon tobacco and alcohol used in the arts,
which would produce greater reduction
in the revenues of the government than
the Mills bill would if it should become a
law, and probably sufficient reduction to
put an end to all fear from the surplus
until the.meeting of the next national re-
publican convention. But if the proposed
reduction should not prove sufficient. the
platform then favors the repeal of all
internal revenue taxes rather than the
surrender of any part of our protective
system at the joint behest of the whiskey
trust and the agents of foreign manutac-
turers." This is perfectly consistent with
the attitude of the republican party as the
party of temperance and the only effective
opponent of the combined and con-
solidated forces of whiskey and de
mocracy. Congressman Taylor of
Ohio put it rather bluntly but truth
fully when he declared in debate the other
day that "the man who would coldly,
and with his judgment in his hand, assert
that the republican party was in favor of
free whiskey, might be developed, accord
ing to the Darwinian theory, for count
less cycles of time without mounting in.

HARRISON'S INAUGURATION.
District Republicans Already Discuss.
ing Plans for t. Ball, Etc.

1t may appear to be trife early, but among
the republican residents OF the District the ar
rangements for the next Inauguration are al
ready being discussed. 1t has been the custom
to organize committee OF citizens, which ap-
point subcommitteeS to take charge Of the VA
rious details, such decoration Of the city, the
inaugural parade, the ball, fire works, the care
of visitors, &c. To meet the expenses of the
entire demonstration, the contributions of citi-
Zens and the sale Of ball tickets have been in
the past the only sources Of revenue. The
amount usually collected and disbursed for in
auguration expenses by the citizens committee
ia between g35,OOO and S40,000, although on
some occasions that sum has been largely ex-
ceeded.
THE LAST INAUGURAL COMMITTEE
WAS designated by the chairman, James G.
Berret, who had been selected by the national
democratic committee. The preceding inaugu-
ration, that Of Garfield, was managed by a
committee appointed at public meeting OF
citizens. but this result was not reached until
two rival meetings had been held and two COM
mittees appointed. This episode was exceed
ingly unpleasant, and in order to avoid the
uncertainties Of public meeting the demo-
Gratis last time adopted the course they did.
1t is proposed now that a number OF respect
able citizens be called together for the purpose
Of considering this matter. The Republican
League Club will also discuss the subject and
it is thought that the leading republicans will
be able to come to an understanding. Some Of
the leading republicans are in favor of the
plan adopted by the democrats at the last in
auguration. They are of the opinion that Mr..
Quay. some one representing Mr.. Harrison,
should designate some citizen to be chairman,
and he could select the other members of the
committee.
THE QUESTION OF HALL.
In view Of the fact that the hall Of the PEN
sion building, where the last inaugural ball was
held, will soon be occupied by the city post
Office, ii is concluded that the use Of that hall
is out of the question. In this event the only
alternative left is to erect a building ON the
White Lot fronting 18th street. 1t il thought
that such building could be put up for less
than e20, ,000. For the last two inaugural balls
the committee have had the use Of Government
buildings and have been saved the expense OF
erecting special building. A larger sum of
money will be needed for this Inauguration
than for either Of the two preceding, but it
| Is believed that II an economical manage
ment Is guaranteed that there will be no diff
hcuity about securing generous subscriptions.
The money subscribed toward the expenses of
the Garfield Inauguration was returned to the
subscribers by the committee, and the same
was done at the last Inauguration.
Among those who are mentioned as likely to
be chairmen of the general committee Is Mr..
John w. Thompson and Mr.. n. M. Parker.

ANOTHER LONDON MURDER.
The Body Of a Woman Found Cut to
Pieces in Spitaifieids.

LONDON. Nov. e-The murder hend has
added another to his list Of victims. At IL
O'Clock this morning the body OF woman cut
into pieces was discovered In q house on Dor
set street, Spitalfelds. The police are en-
deavoring to track the murderer with the aid
OF bloodhounds.
MuTILATED LIKE TUE WHITE cHAPEL vIcrrns.
The remains were mutilated In the same hor-
rible manner as were those Of the women mur-
cered in Whitechapel.
rRrGHrFuL MUrlIArIoy
The appearance OF the remains was frightful
and the mutilation was even greater than in
the previous cases. The head had been severed
and placed bonoGth one OF the arms. The ears
and nose had been cut of. The body had been
disemboweled and the flesh torn way from the
thighs. The womb and other organs were
missing. The skn had been torn of the fore
head and cheeks. One hand had been pushed
into the stomach.
THE VICTIM A DIssoLurE WOMAN
The victim, like all the Others, was a prosti.
tute. She was married and her husband was o
porter. They had lived together at spasmodio
intervals. Her name is believed to have been
Lizzie Fisher, but TO most OF the habitues Of
the haunts she visited she was known as Mary
Jane. She had a room in the house where she
was murdered. She carried q latch-key and No
ono knows at what hour she entered the house
last night, and probably no one saw the man
who accompanied her.
80 ONE SAW THK MURDERER,
therefore il is hardly likely that he VIII ever be
identified. He might easily have left the house
at any time between 1 and O'Clock this morn
ing without attracting attention. The doctors
who have examined the remains refuse TO make
any statement until the inquest is held.

Three blood-hounds belonging to pflvste cit
izens were taken TO The place where the body
lies and placed on the scent of the murderer.
but they were unable TO keep il for any great

AN INSPECTOR WHO ACKNOWLEDGED RECEIVING
PRESENTS FROM TUNNEL coNTRAoroR-HR
SAYS IT WAS FOR WORKING ovERTIME-AN IN
sPECToR WHO WAS SURPRISED THAT HOLES
WERE FOUND IN THE PACKING OVER THE ARCH.
There was large supply of witnesses on
hand in the War Department corridor this
morning waiting for the opening of the tunnel
court of inquiry. Work was begun at 1880
O'Clock by the calling Of Samuel E. Boyce, who
testified that by trade he was bricklayer, and
that he was employed as subinspector in the
Rock Creek shaft of the Aqueduct tunnel.
He began work in February, 1887, and con-
tinued until the work was shut down in Sep
tember. His instructions were to see that the
work was done well, and he had other duties
to perform under the colonel" Wit
ness had read, and understood, the
specifications. He went down in the tunnel
every morning at about 7:S0 o'clock with the
workmen, remaining until lunch time, after
which he returned and continued at work un-
til 8. The night inspector, Masters, came on
at o'clock. Witness had charge Of the mixing
of the mortar, which was dry-mixed on top.
Occasionally he found that there was too much
sand used, and he ordered more cement put in
before 1t was given to the workmen. some
times he heard complaint OF the mortar from
the workmen, and had it fixed. In his opin-
ion
THE PACKING WAS PRETTY WELL DONE.
There were three brick masons and one packer
in the gang under his charge, and they did
nearly one center day. The distance between
the top of the arch and the roof Of the tunnel
averaged about feet. The specifications called
for packing laid solidly in cement mortar, and
a man could do ''right smart" Of that kind Of
work. It was not exactly such ''stone work" as
would have been done outside, but was, in his
opinion, well done. To his knowledge there
were no holes in the packing. Col. Kirlin gave
him instructions TO see that the packing was

VARIOUS LONDON TOPICS.
The Long Drawn Out Parnell Inquiry
Gen. Warren's Unpopularity.

Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAs
LONDON, Nov. Notwithstanding the Times
notice that its case is likely to last until Christ
mas, it is still thought that Judge Hannen viii
interfere to prevent an indefinite number OF
witnesses about outrages. Parnell intends to
call tenants who have suffered by the rapacity
Of landlords, also probably some landlords like
Clanricarde.
The return moved for by Mr.. Buxton shows
that the attorney and solicitor-general receive
f20,000 per annum, almost equally divided.
Thus each receives double as much salary as
the prime minister.
Gen. Davis, tory member, intends TO bring
forward in parliament the question of the en-
forced resignation of Monro, chief detective
of the London police. Gen Warren is increas-
ingly unpopular. The defense. in his article in
Aurroys, which he made to Matthews, is dis
ingenious. Nobody doubts that his reference
to an ex-minister smiling on the mobs refers
to the action of Gladstone and his colleagues in
voting against the edict of expulsion from Ira
falgar Square.

lating in favor OF pension on the civil list TO
