Cotton Picking Progressing Rapidly
Frosts Result in Damage to Tobacco.
WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The signal office
weather bulletin reports that the weather
has been favorable for all growing crops
during the past week throughout the cotton
region, and cotton picking is progressing
rapidly In Northern Texas the crop is re-
ported as about two weeks late. Light
frosts occurred in the northern part of the
Gulf States during the first part of the
week. and some damage resulted to the
tobacco crop in North Carolina, Tennessee
and Kentucky. In sections of the last
named State one-fourth of the late tobacco
crop has been injured. In Tennessee the
weather was favorable for the seeding of
wheat and an increased acreage is reported.
The first heavy frost occurred in the middle
Atlantic States during the week, killing
all tender vegetables in New Jersey, but
most crops had been secured previous to the
frost. Killing frost occurred in New En-
gland, and slight freeze is reported in the
northern portions of this region, resulting
in some damage to the fruit The corn
crop is reported in fair condition

FROM THE OLD WORLD.
Many Arrests for the Whitechapel Muir
ders-R idiculing the BlOOdh ound Idea.

Many Arrests for the Whitechapel MUIR
notwithstanding the Bloodho und Idea.
LONDON, Oct. 8.-Saturday's telegraph
publishes two sketch portraits from descrip-
tions of the man last seen in com any of the
the Whitechapel murder fend. The result
has been the unceremonious arrest of every
man bearing any resemblance to the pic
lures, and a great deal of discomfort has
been caused by this new phase of police
activity. Many of the arrests are made by
self-constituted detectives or ambitious
vigilance committeeman. The victims are
generally discharged from custody as soon
as brought before magistrate, but some
are unlucky enough to be able to satisfy the
officials of their rectitude, and are subjected
to more or less annoying detention. One of
the men arrested carried bag
in which was found razor.
This subject is still held, and will
have to give very good account of himself
and his razor. Another perplexity attend
ing the Whitechapel muddle is due to the
fact that the regular police do not know by
sight the various amateur detectives, and
the latter are occasionally "held up and
their presence and mysterious movements in
the much watched district Experts ridi-
Guile Sir Charles Wa1el's determination to
use bloodhoudds in search of the murderer.
Scent training is now neglected art, and
only show points are cultivated in the blood
hound, making him the most stupid Of ca
nine varieties and useless in manhunting.
AT the noted dog show in Warwick two
years ago, though the crack dogs of the
kingdom were represented, only one blood
hound displayed even fourth rate gifts.
The dog that tracked Fish, the Blackburn
murderer, twelve years ago, was not, as has
been stated, a bloodhound of pure blood, but
a mongrel But even if a genuine tracker
were secured the dog would be useless in the
East End, where a trail could not remain
many minutes unfouled

TARIFF QUESTION.

Weather and Crop Report-Wash.
ingtOn News.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-The Senate will
begin consideration of the Republicans sub
stitute for the Mills bill to-day Senator
Allison, chairman of the subcommittee OF
the Committee on Finance that prepared
the bill, who had charge of the compilation,
will open the debate. He will be followed
by other members of the committee The
conference report on the general deficiency
appropriation bill will receive final consid-
GRAFTON in the Senate during the week, and
some attention will be given to bills of
minor Importance on the calendar during
The morning hour each day. There is no
probability that the House will have any re-
gard for the regular order during the week.
Tomorrow is committee suspension day,
but the regular order will not be recog-
nized. There is to be another effort made
to secure consideration of the bill to in
corporate the Nicaraguan Canal COM
pany. Republicans are indignant over
the opposition to the bill on their
side of the House during the past
week, and say there must not be further
objection The House will indulge in some
more talk over the general deficiency bill
when the conference submits its report to-
morrow, and with the final adoption Of that
measure legislative business of the House
will close, SO far as this session is concerned.
Opinion is about equally divided as to
whether the House will adopt concurrent
resolution during the week providing for an
adjournment or recess of Congress. Were
it not for about half a dozen Democratic
members who oppose adjournment or re-
cess until the end of the month, the House
would promptly take the initiative and in
dictate its desire for an adjournment by the
middle of this month. The Republicans in
the Senate say they will not favor a resolu-
tion providing for either adjournment or a
recess if the date is fixed earlier than the
2Sth or Goth inst.

He Wanted to Wed.

TROY, N. Y, Oct 8.--Great excitement
prevails at Stephenton over the disappear
ance of Chauncey Larkins, prominent
bachelor farmer of that place. Larkins
was anxious to marry, and proposed to
nearly every respectable girl in that sec
ton. Saturday evening he drove up to q
farmhouse in the neighborhood, and, when
the farmers daughter came to the door.
asked her to marry him. She refused to
accept, and he then offered to deed over to
her his entire property if she would wed
him. She still declined, when he departed,
saying he would kill himself. He has not
since been seen, and it is believed that he has
carried out his threat.

ITALY and France.

ROME, Oct. Sit is semi-oficially stated
that the decree of the Franco Tunistan Gov
eminent subjecting public and private
schools to inspection by the French author
tiles will not be accepted by Italy. In
Tunis the only schools organized are Italian.
A decree is, therefore, to be issued especi-
ally aimed at them. Premier Crispi has
instructed the Italian charge d'affaires at
Paris to inform NJ. Goblet, the French For
eign Minister, that the Italian Government
is studious to treat the question in the
calmest way and desires to come to an un-
derstanding. Should France persist Italy
will exercise reprisals by subjecting the nu-
merous primary and secondary schools in
Rome conducted by French religious con-
gregations to Italian inspection.

GENERAL LAND OFFICE REPORT

Over 83, 100000 Acres Restored During
the Year-Necessity of Survey.
WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-CommissioneI
Stockslager, of the General Land Office, in
his annual report for the fiscal year ended
June 3d. 1888; shows that during the year
$3.50, 1914 acres of land had been conveyed
or patented from the government The
statement Of lands restored to the public do
main during this administration is brought
down to the close of the fiscal year and
shows a total of SO, 1853, 900 acres restored,
and 65,020,533 acres recommended to re-
storation The commissioner discusses at
some length the necessity of extending the
public surveys and calls special attention
to the act passed March 8, 1887, peremp-
torily requiring an adjustment of the rail
road grants still unadjusted which he
says is impossible in the case of the
Northern Pacific and other Pacific railroad
grants until the land covered by the
grants are defined by survey. He says
also that the several surveys in which the
unsurveyed granted lands lie are interested
in having them surveyed, for the reason
that railroad lands are not subject to State
taxation until they are surveyed. Another
reason given for surveying granted railroad
lands is the fact that it is impossible to pre-
vent depreciation on the public timber with.
in the limits of railroad grants until sur
vey shall show what lands belong to the
government and what to railroads. The
decision in the Guilford Miller case is re-
ferred to, and it is stated that there are
1000 similar cases pending in the Land
Office, and that lands in the indemnity
limits of the Northern Pacific, the Atlantic
& Pacific, the Southern Pacific, the Cali.

follows: "Brandsly Hall, Evening World,
