Indianapolis Don't Believe Blaine Has Re-
ceived the Offer Yet.
INDIANAPOLIS, December 13.-For a
time this afternoon Gen. HarrisOn's house
was besieged by newspaper correspondents
who were in fiutter of excitement over O
report published in New York this morn
ing to the effect that Mr.. Blaine had
been offered and had accepted the
State portfolio. Efforts on the
part of correspondents 10 induce General
Harrison to talk upon this subject, proved
a flat failure. He said: II say In all
kindness, but hope is will be understood
sill sronnd that will not allow myself to
be placed in the position of determining
the trust worthinees Of any report, no mat
ter how important or from what souTcs it
comes"
Outside of newspaper circles here the
report is treated with absolute indifference
aud even levity in some csses.
Hon. John c. New, when asked his
opinion of the Blaine report, said he
had no reason for believing 1t.
He thinks Gen. Harrison has not positive
ly fixed upon any member Of bis cabinet,
and if he has, he has kept the mat
ter entirely to himself Chairman
Huston says he does not place any
reliance in the tIuthlulness of the
report, but knows nothing about it. In
fact all of the prominent Indianapolis peo-
pie believe the report to he q pure down
Eastern" fabrication.

JACK The RIPPER.
Medical Experts Believe That He is sane

Medical Experts Believe That He is sane
Man.
New YORK, December 14.-The Society
Of Medical Jurispsudencs discussed the
White Chapel murders last evening, with
the result, so far as evidenced by the talk,
of concluding that Jack the Ripper" is
of sound mind. Lawyer Austin Abbott
read paper which set forth that there are
barbarous instincts in the man, preserved
with remarkable persistence by the laws
of beredity, from unciyilized ancestry.
"The crimes show" said Mr.. Abbott, IS
hand accustomed to rapid work, to expert
celeriiy. Now, these qualities imply q
considerable mental development on the
part Of the murderer. The chief
source Of error in the investiga-
ton of lunacy is the tendency
OF medical experts TO infer disease from the
nature Of the crime itself.
The Wbitechspsl murderer has not been
caught, ard his condition cannot therefore
be diagnosed While admittinipg the pos
sibility of insanity, it is well to consider
the inilueuce Of heredity upon man, or the
persistence of the barbsrous disposition.
The survival in civilizsd life Of savage traits
is not entirely outsrown. These slaugh-
tiers are wholly within the lines of habitu-
al conduct OF barbarous ancestor, ipdulg-
ed for the plessursbls sensation of witness
ing human torture. As We view the per-
sistence or survival of the laws OF blood
shed and mutilation, the WhiteChspel
murderer may appear to be not very far re-
moved from that exhibition in history. DR..
SpitZka multiplied instances Of humble
crimes of the White Chapel variety, some
Of them committed by the Roman Empsr-
orr, some in the present century, in all Of
them he observed one element plaialy
marked-sexusl perversipn. Medical
authority, he said, has not been accustom-
ed to regard men like Jack the Ripper in
sane. He recalled the straugs Texas muir
deTs Of two years ago, and suggested that
the mysterious Texan, and Jack are one
and the same, he may begin his operations
in some other city before long, he declared
The nice London crimes are certainly not
his first, they show too much good p!ac'
tics.
This barbsrOus element is present in
greater or less degree in every one Of US. II
is well known that criminals frequently
haunt the places where thsir deeds are dis
GUS ed. SO it is entirely within the range
of possibility that :he Whitechspel muir
derer il now present in thia room.
DR.. Irwin, who was in London when
some of the murders occurred, declared his
belief that as civilization advanced and
men found that simple, painless killing was
an insufficient punishment for murder,
there would be return to the old idea o!
inflicting some measure of torture.

Conl.us4 CiaI linton.

Conl.usI cisI Uni0u.
MONTREAL, December 1.-THE publi-
cation here ofths resolution introduced by
Mr. Batterworth, mas had startling
etr,c.. Everybody is discussing it, and
everybody il looking forward snxiously
as to what course the Senate and House Of
Representatives will pursue. Never since
ths famous annexation manifesto OF fifty
years ago hiss there been such an express
sion of publiC feeling ss during the past
two months. Annexation" Is almost the
topic in political circles. Bot 1t was re-
gsrded simply as q growing issue and not
one to be Immediately oealt with. Com
msrcfal union and unrestricted reciprocity
were recognized % convenient Synonyms
for the more expressive terms.
Now the Buttsrworth resolution IS re-
gsrded as bringing the matter to focus.
A leading commercial Union member OF
Parliament told reporter that undoubt-
edly the issue at the next general election
would be annexation, and thai il was an
open secret that it Would be the leading
plank in the Liberal platform. Batter
vorth's resolution had put q different
phase on the question. lie did not think 1t
would Pass both houses without good
deal of delsy, bat the probabilities were
that the United State would invite Great
Britain and Canada to appoint 8 commits
sion. 10 that casa il would be an impO3-
sibility to "Scn'cd" the question in Par
liament and Liberal chances ofgetting in
to power would be poportionately
st,sD gthened. Whether the Conservatives
would take the chances Of defeat by
blind opposition, he was not p7epred
to-day. Il Was likely when the Tories
came to realize the situation fully, the
strength of public feeling on the sutjs sct OF
anuexa' ion, they would advocate CONNER
cial union, and come to q sort Of an amica-
BILE compromise which would settle the
present commercial difficulties with the
United States, thus doing away with the
immediate necessity for annexation.
The great objection OF conservative poll
ticians 20 annexation is the loss Of power,
aud the couIse outlined above might give
them renewed lease of Office for n few
years. .
"The mask is of Mt last" said Mr..
Tsillon, Conservative leader iu the Pro-
yiuCial Parliament. I'VE have held all
along that commercial union was disguised
annexation, and here now is Mr.. Butter
worth, the most pronounced advocate OF
the former policy, coming out boldly for
annexation. Loyal Canadians will have to
kill the pigmy coon, as it is fast growing
into giant"
