Dem. is elected by about 900 MAORI
ty. It is now believed the republicans
have elected three out of every four
congressman, with the fourth in
doubt. In every county and precinct
the republicans have gained, and as
the matter now stands the legislature
is doubtful. 1t may be it will be a
tie, with Senator Can, Green Oacker,
with the deciding vote on the joint
ballot, and the republicans claim
everything, and the democrats are
very blue.

Whitechapel Started Again.

LONDON, November 9.-The murder
fiend has added another to his list OF
victims. At IL o'clock this morning
the body of a woman cut into pieces,
was discovered in house on Dorset
street. Spital Fields police are en-
deavOring to track the murderer with
the aid of blood hounds.
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 beneath one of the arms.
The ears and nose had been cut off;
the body had been disembowled, and
the flesh was torn from the thighs;
the womb and other organs were mis-
sing. The skin had been torn off the
forehead and the cheeks and one
hand had been pushed into the
stomach.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS. FRIDAY NOVEMBER g. 1888
THE APPROACHING FAIR.

The election is over and every ener-
CIV should be directed towards max
ing the international fair, which
opens next week. the most attractive
ever opened in this state. 1t is in the
books to do this. The grounds are
superior in natural beauty and loca-
ton in any in the state. The exhibits
are not equalled by those of any fair
ever held in this section of the union.
The Mexican products will form a
most attractive feature and the Next
can national band will be strong
drawing card. The skin games, and
gambling devices, and pooling frauds,
and snide shows which were so loud
lv complained of at Dallas will not be
admitted here, and the management
are wide awake to the necessi-
ties of keeping these nulsances
in the back ground. An intelli-
gent supervision of every department
is insured, and strict observance
of every regulation for the
government of exhibitors, holders of
forced. The rains of Tuesday night
came ulOSG oppOIUulely, SeGtlinS thc
grounds and tracks, and being follow
ed by bracing uorther, the air has
become purified, and the promise of
fine weather is as favorable as the
most sanguine could expect. The
number of visitors from abroad will
be unprecedented, and every pre-
caution has been taken to prevent the
visitor during the fair weeks from be-
ing fleeced, as is too generally the
case on such occasions. Our people
are taking a deep interest in this fair,
and all its officers and managers are
straining every nerve to open the
gates next Tuesday to the finest fair
and exposition Texas has ever opened
to the world.

WHAT WILL ENGLAND Dor

The report that Emin Pasha and
Henry NJ. Stanley have been captured by
the Arabs, who offer to deliver them up
provided the English will deliver to them
the Red Sea port of Suakim, seems to be
generally credited in Europe Indeed.
it cannot be well doubted, as the Arabs
produce documents or copies of docu-
ments which Stanley had in his posses
sion, and as it is the most reasonable
way of accounting for the whereabouts
of Stanley, who disappeared nearly a
year ago, and has not reappeared at any
of the places where he might before this
time be expected TO reappear. The ran
som the Arabs ask for the men is a large
one, if we consider what it cost the
English in blood and treasure TO take
Suakim.
But that is not probably the view that
will be taken. The town is not only
practically worthless to its captors, but
is the source of continued expense and
anxiety to them. 1t is the fruit of an
otherwise fruitless war. 1t was taken

government may see its opportunity to
surrender with honor what it does not
want and cannot hold, except at a sacri-
fee and at great expense, and close
with the Arabs on their own terms, par
ticularly as they do not back their prop
osition with threat or any show of mil
itary force.
Interest in this country in the outcome
of the situation over there is intensified
by the fact that Stanley is a native OF the
United States, though the fact, it seems,
is not of sufficient importance to war

eminent in his behalf,
