siore Changes in Il. & o. onlces-PresIdCnt
Mayer to shake up the Department.
BALTIMORE, Dec. l4.-The Garrett
party, it is said, will make general
change in the officers OF the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad.
Not only will Mr.. Spencer have to go,
but also one OF the Vice Presidents and
several heads OF departments under
him.
The new President, Mr.. Mayer, will
shake up the departments generally, and
there will be changes all around. q. X.
Lord, who was promoted from General
Passenger Agent to Third Vice President
by President Spencer, may possibly re-
tain his office. There is talk oil the re-
turn OF n former Vice President. Thomas
NJ. King, to the position OF First Vice
President, in which event one OF the
vice Presidents may be dispensed with.
The Second Vice President, 0rland
Smith, will likely be sacrificed aud Mr..
Lord be promoted.
A director said to-day: "This reorgan-
ization is necessary in order that there
shall be entire harmony OF view among
the officers in the management OF the
property, as well us in the stockholders
direction. The New York syndicate has
ceased to have any other relation to the
company than that OF welI-secured
creditor"
A new banking house, that oil Brown
Il Lowndes, has been brought into inti-
mate relations with tue B. 4. o. through
the election OF Col. j. Wilcox Brown.
The day the new board of directors was
chosen resolutions were adopted TO guar
antee two long loans-one OF the bonds
to construct the branch from Roselle to
Arthur Kill bridge, for about 100000
and the other iOr Sl,000,000 for the
branch to shorten the distance in Penn
sylyania which connects the b. q o. and
the Reading. the work OF the branch
in Pennsylvania will reduce the time
from thirty.fve to forty minutes aud
save the delay in the angle in Wayne
Junction, and the B. & o. will have Il
way to New York at Jersey City or Sta
ten Island.
1t is understood that Robert Garrett,
owing to his present state OF mind, has
not been consulted in the new arrange
ments, and that hO knows nothing about
the changes. Mr.. Mayer, the new Ptesi.
dent OF the company, is the executor OF
the estate Of the late I. Harrison Gar
rett. Judge Friek represents the inter
esls OF Robert Garrett and his sister,
Mary Garrett, and Messrs. Frick and
Mayer are accordingly the controlling
powers in B. & o. affairs.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE Erenfng Post
contains the following: The Canada an
nexation resolution introduced in Con-
gress by BENZ. Butterworth, Of Ohio,
have greatly moved the Canadians both
in the United States and across the st.
Lawrence. Erastus Wilnan said to-day
TO u reporter, who asked him what he
thought Of Mr.. Butterworth's scheme:
"I'm knocked between the eyes. !
never saw such fatal mistake. can't
conceive how Butterworth came TO do it.
The idea l have is that there never was
SO contented a people sthe Canadians"
Mr.. Wiman then took upa copy OF the
address he delivered Wednesday night
at West New Brighton, l.. L., read M ex-
tract from it, beginning thus:
$50 pronounced is the sentiment in
Canada against annexation that to.mor-
row it would be utterly impossible to
elect constable to office, much less a
member Of Parliament, who openly nd.
voCated this measure" With that for n
text Mr.. Wiman continued: II am
very much disturbed at Mr.. Butter.
worth's move. He says there are two
parties to every bargain, In this case
there happens to be three, viz: the
United States, Canada, and England. II
two out OF these three parties are un.
willing To trade, trade is impossible.
There has not been the slightest sign on
the part OF these two for political union
Until there is such a sign it is submitted

WAR RELICS DESTROYED.
Great Damage Done by u Fire IN Boston.
Loss S2OO,OOO.


BosroS, Dec. 14.-Shortly after . o'clock
this morning the Everett block in Hyde
park, n iarge stone front building, was
discovered on fire. The fire started in
the Boston cash market, in the base
ment, and spread quickly to the upper
stories. The firemen were hampered in
their work by the frozen condition of
the llydr1nts and the fire attained con-
siderable head way before any water had
been thrown upon it. On thethird floor
was the town hall in which was val.
liable collection OF war relics and oil
paintings and in the room adjoining q
Grand Army fair was being held and
many relics, ETC., were also gathered
here, numbering over 1000 articles. All
these were destroyed, together with oil
the booth and fancy articles connected
with the fair. Everett Block IS com
pletely gutted and will be a total loss.
1t was owned by A. II. Holway ald
valued at $4,000. The Boston cash
market will lose its stock in trade in
meats and groceries. Gleason g hard
ware and tin store will be in bad conli-
lion from both fire end water. 1t cannot
be learned what insurance there is on
the building and stock at present. The
war relics and oil paintings are destroy
ed, it is believed, to the extent OF Sl25,-
900 worth. 1t is understood that Tin.
othy Ingraham, Post l2, &. a. X. has no
insurance on its goods.

TORONTO, Dec. l4.-Commenting on
the Butterworth resolution the Empire,
the leading government organ, calls it
an insulting overture, and says it is the
leaders OF the Canadian opposition who
have by their conduct and their words
OF sympathy invited this insult to their
country.
The Globe, opposition, says: "one
thing can be said for Mr.. Butterworth's
curious proposal. Its adoption by Con-
gress would probably lead to a thorough
exposition and understanding Of politi-
cal union with the United States. We
have no doubt that the judgment Of
Canadians in the matter would be such
Us to cure our neighbOrs OF delusion
that has long kept them from trying to
make the best possible out Of the politi'
cal separation Of the two countries"

Eminent insanity Experts.
is JACK THE RIPPER" CRAzY2
\ Question Gravcly Considcred-Tl Q
Survival of Savage Traits in
Civilized Lirc-Dr. spitzka's
Interesting Theory.

NEw York, Dec. 1.-THE Society of
Medical Jurisprudence discussed the
White Chapel murders last evening,
with the result, SO fur as evidenced by
the talk, of concluding that "Jack the
Ripper is of sound mind. Lawyer
Austin Abbott read a paper which set
orth that there are barbarou' instincts
in man, preserved with remarkable per-
sistence by the laws of heredity, from
uncivilized ancestry. 1.-THE crimes"
said Mr.. Abbot, "show hand accus-
toned to rapid work, to expert celebrity.
"Now these qualities imply consider
lble mental development on the pnrt OF
the murderer. The chief source OF error
IN the investigation OF luDacy is the
tendency of medical experts to inf,r
lisease from the nature of the crime it-
self The White Chapel murderer has
not been caught and his condition CAN
not therefore be diagnosed. While adj
mitting the possibility OF insanity, y IS
well to consider the influence Of heredi'y
upon man, or the persistence OF the bni-
barous disposition. The survival n
civilized life OF savage traits is not eL-
rirely outgrown. These slaughters are
wholly within the lines of the habitu.l
conduct OF barbarous ancestors, INDUCED
Tor the pleasurable sensations Of wit
Messing human torture. AS We view
the persistence Of several OF the laws Of
bloodshed and mutilation, the White
Chapel murderer may appear TO be not
very far removed from that exhibition
in history"
DR.. Spitzka multiplied instances Of
horrible crimes of the White Chapel
variety, so 40 OF them committed by the
Roman emperoFs, some in the present
century. In all Of them he observed
one element plainly markcd-sexual
perversion. Medical authority, he said,
has not been accustomed to regard men
like "Jack the Ripper" insane. He re-
called the strange Texas murders OF two
years ago, and suggested TINT the mys-
terious Texan and Jack are one and the
same. He may begin his operations in
some other city before long, he declared;
the nine London crimes are certainly
not. sst; they show too much good
pratt,se. This barbarous element is
present in greater or less degree in every
one OF us. 1t is well known that crimi-
nails frequently haunt the places where
their deeds are discussed; so it is entire
ly within the bounds OF possibility that
the White Chapel murderer is now pres
ent in this room. DR.. Irwin, who was
in London when some of the murders
occurred, declared his belief that as civil
ization advanced and men found that
simple, painless killing was an in
sufficient punishment for murder, there
would be n return to the old idea OF in
tlicting some measure of torture.

ment Noted Everywhere.
New YoRK, Dec. 14-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The
most important event of the week in
the financial world, the failure of the
Panama Canal, has not as yet been felt
in this country. The amount of securi-
ties held here is not large and there is a
general belief that the French govern
ment will be obliged to do something to
avert widespread disaster. The supply Of
money in all parts OF the country is good.
and the heavy disbursements OF January
are so near at hand, that there is an un-
usual feeling OF confidence.
In hardware some disposition To pur-
chase in expectation of higher prices ia
noticeable at Cleveland. The furnaces
in blast were OF the capacity of l4s,3l3
tons per week, according to the New
York report and 1S0,2S2 according to the
Pittsburgh report, Taking the former
as maximum and the latter as a mini
mum in either case the increase in No
vember was was about 5000 tons. In
rails contracts are said 10 have been
at S27 30 with eastern and
$50 80 with Pittsburgh mills. The
volume of production is on the whole
increasing. Wheat has advanced lie
on small speculative transactions. Corn
and oats have declined lc each. Coffee
declined &c, and oil has risen 9c. The
general average for all commodities is
about lc lower than week ago and
slightly below the level Of November /.

IxDIANAPoLIs, Dec. 14.-For time
this afternoon Gen. Harrison's house
was besieged by newspaper correspond
ents who we're in fiutter of excitement
over a report published in New York
this morning to the effect that Mr.. Blaine
had been offered and had accepted the
State portfolio. Efforts on the part oil
correspondents to induce Gen. Harrison
to talk upon this subject proved a flat
failure. He said: 81 say in all Kindness,
but | hope it will be understood all
around that / will not allow myselfto be
placed in the position OF determining
the etrustworthiness ofHnyreport, no mat
ter how important or from what source
ii comes"
Hon. John G. New, when asked his
opinion OF the Blaine report, said he had
no reason for believing it. He thinks
Geneaal Harrison has not positively
fixed upon any member OF his Cabinet,
and il he has he has kept the matter en-
tirely to himself.
Chairman Huston says he does not
place reliance in the truthtulness 0t
the report, but knows nothing about it.

BUTHBRVORTH'S SCHEME
To Annex Canada Causes Great
Excitement in the Dominion.
THE SENTIMENT is GROWING
In Favor Of the ProJcct-Drirt of
opinion Regarding It-canadian
Statesmen and Newspapers
Express Themselves.

MONTREAL, Dec. 1.-THE publication
here of the resolution introduced by Mr.
Butterworth has had a startling effect.
Everybody is discussing it, and. every
body is looking forward 'aaxiously rs to
what course the Senate and House OF
Representatives will pursue. Never
since the famous annexation manifesto
OF fifty years ago has there been such an
expression of public feeling MS during
the past two months. Annexation" is
almost the only topic in political circles.
But it was regarded simply as a grow
ing issue and not one to be Immediately
dealt with. Commercial union and un.
restricted reciprocity were recognized aS
convenient synonyms Tor the more eX'
pressive terms. Now the Butterworth
resolution is regarded as bringing the
matter to focus. A leading CONNER
cial union member OF Parliament told u
reporter that undoubtedly the issue at
the next general election would be an-
nexation and that it was an open
secret that it would be the leading
plank in the liberal platform. Butter
worth,s resolution had put different
phase on the question. He did not think
It would pass both houses without good
deal of delay, but the probabilities were
that eventually the United States would
invite Great Britain and Canada to ap'
point commission. In that case i
would be an impossibility to scotch"
the question in Parliament and liberal
chances OF getting into power would be
proportiouately strengthened. Whether
the conservatives would take the chances
of defeat by blind opposition, he was
not prepared to say. 1t was likely that
when the tories came to realize the situa-
ton fully the strength OF public feeling
on the subject OF annexation, they
would advocate commercial union
and come to sort OF amicab!c compro-
mise which would settle the present
commercial difficulties with the United
States, thus doing away with the imme'
diate necessity for annexation. The
great objection OF conservative pOliti-
clans to annexation is the loss OF power,
and the course outlined above might
give taem renewed lease OF Office for
"ine Task is Off ut last" said Mr..
Taillon, Conservative leader in the Pro.
vincial Parliament. 1--WE have held all
..long that commercial union was dis
guised annexation, and here now is MIR.
Butterworth, the most pronounced ad.
vocate OF the former policy, coming out
boldly for annexation. Loyal Canadians
will have to kill the pigmy soon, rs it
is fast growing into q giant"

Tho Attorney General of Nebraska Enters
ForcIble Protest.
LINCOLN, NEB., Dec. 1.-THE Attorney
General OF the State is up in arms
against the proposition made in Con-
gress to extend the time for the pay
ment of the Union Pacific debt. He has
taken the matter in hand and in COM
munication to the Governor alleges that
the Union Pacific has taken by purchase
and condemnation proceedings, large
tracts OF valuable land in the State out
side OF any rights OF way granted to it
by Congress. and from this he argues
that the road should be amenable to the
State. Considering the billnow pending
in Congress to extend the time for the
payment OF the debt OF this road, the
Attorney General, after speaking OF the
great wrong which he claims would be
done to the people OF Nebraska by the
passage OF such an act, says: THAT il
this debt should be extended it willonly
prolong the burden now resting on the
people Of this State. The only fair
method Of solving this great Union Pa
cilic problem is for the Government to
order the road to be sold for cash. Then
the State could control it and allow such
rates for transportation as will yield u
fair percentage on its cash value"
