ing thereof by senate employee.
Hoar, referring to the contemptuous man.
| ner in which Vest had heretofore spoken
| of civil service reform, said that the civil
| service of the country ought to be divorced
| from politics. The present administration
he admitted, had been no worse than former
ones IN the matter of appointments and re
niovals; but it had certainly been no better
MIR. Mckee, he thought, had just the same
right to express his opinions by publications
and to affix to them his official title as thu
senator from Maryland had to ISSUE pamphle
editions of his speeches over his title as sena
Tor.
Vest said there was no parallel between
the cases. 1t was the duty of senator t.
express his views on public questions, but n,
such duty was imposed on librarian.
Hoar, abiding to bill introduced by
Voorhees, in 1884, making it an offence for
civil officer to contribute money for cam
paign purposes, said that under that bi
President Cleveland would be liable to i'm
parchment voorhees, had said in his speec
in support of the bin that officers who mad

The WhitecbapeI Butcher,es.

LONDON, Oct. 1.-Several persons have been arrested on suspicion of being the Whitechapel murderer. The Financial News has offered a reward of 300 pounds for the capture of the murderer, and there is talk on the Stock Exchange of offering fur ther reward.
 The Lord Mayor has offered reward of $500 for the arrest of the perpetrator of the Whitechapel murders.
 Dr. Henry Forbes Winslow, Sir Risdon Ben- nett and other medical experts are more than ever convinced that the murderer is a homi- cidal lunatic.
 It is asserted that the medical testimony, which will be given at the inquest on the body of the women found murdered in Mitre Square to take place on Thursday, will prov ( that the same particular organs were removed by the murderer and have not been found.

CRAWLING AND sAoHEm.

A Pretty Race at tNeNvpOrt-The Former
 Wins by Less Than a Minute in a
 TWenty-FOur Mile Race.
 NEWPORT, Oct. 1.-The first of the races to-day between the schooner yachts Grayling and Sachem was one of the prettiest and closest races ever sailed here, the two yachts starting less than minute apart and there being at no time over three minutes between them. The weather was disagreeable for pleasure yachting, but fine for racing. The Sachem came out under mainsail ,foresail and both jibs, but the Grayling carried only one jib. The preparatory signal was given at 11:25 and the Sachem at once raised her maintopsail while the Grayling put her other lib up and also hoisted her maintopsail. Both yachts kept we'll over to the west as the wind was from southeast and the course was therefore twelve miles in that direction and return. The starting signal sounded at 11:40 and both yachts, being well up to the line, were both over inside of two minutes, the Grayling leading by about fifty seconds. As they crossed the line both flung out their foretopsails. The first stretch was about due east and was 8 long tack of nearly an hour The Sachem outpointed the Crawling, keep ing up to windward better.
 Wind and sea were both increasing. The Grayling rounded the Stake boat 1 minute 40 seconds in advance of the Sachem, having thus gained 50 seconds on her in the first half of the race. The yachts now furled their top sails and got out spinnakers, while stand ing off on the home stretch. The Crawling did the best work in this manoeuvre, getting her spinnaker set in 5 minutes, while the Sachem was 13 minutes getting the wind into hers. This lost the Sachem the race, as she could easily have made up the Gray lings lead on the home stretch. As it was she recovered the advantage gains ed by the Crawling by the early use of her spinnaker, and finished only about the same distance behind her rival which she held st the turning point. The run home before the wind was lively one. the twelve miles being covered in about one hour and twenty minutes. The second race will be sailed to morrow if the weather permits.

RRPURLICAN GAINS.

 SEate-Dem Ocrats Get a Drubbing Tn
 Democratic South NOrwalk.
 HARTFORD, Oct. 1.-The little town elec- tions, which took place throughout Connec- ticut to-day, are of no general interest, ex- cept an indicating the political drift. No ef- fort is made to secure full and prompt re- turns, as in State election. At the Cour- ant office at midnight, returns had been re- ceived from one-third of the State, including scattering returns from all sections. The
 Republicans have for years controlled ma iority of the towns, and the returns show they have not lost by to-day's election. On the contrary such changes as have taken place are, in the great majority of cases, fa- vorable to the Republicans.
 The city of South Norwalk heretofore largely Democratic elects Republican may or and five of the six couneilmen. The Democratic majority in MerideD has dropped from 500 last year to 80. The result in Hartford is substantially the same as last year, the Republicans electing two select men and the Democrats three. The vote was small drought the State owing to the bad | weather. In most towns the chief contest was on the license question. A large nnsJor- | ity of the small towns, where local option if | in force, voted for no license. The larger towns and cities are for license. The pro- | hibition is no larger than heretofore.

rNnIANA nIsAPPOTNTED.


 Because MT. Elaine May Speak Twice
 Instead of Five Times.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Oct, Tt is authoritative ly stated this evening by members of the In- diana State Republican committee that the National committee has notified them that owing to the demand for MT. Blaine in the east, his appointments for Indiana would be confined to two speeches instead of five, as at first announced. The National committee did not indicate which of the five appoint ments MT. Blaine would fill, leaving their se- lection to the State committee, who have named the first dates-Goshen, October 10, and Indianapolis, October II. Chairman Houston, in an interview with the Associated Press correspondent, tonight on the subject, said the cancellation of three of MT. Blaine's dates was a great disappointment to the State committee, and would be disappointing to thousands of Republicans throughout the State, who had anticipated hearing Mr. Blaine. He further said his committee had protested to Chairman Clay against this cur tailment of Blaines canvass, and there was probability that on the receipt of his pro- test the National committee would reconsider their decision.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-James G. Blaine left the Grand Central depot at 6 p. m., in Gov ernor Alger's private car, for Detroit. The time of his departure was not generally known, and few people were present at ths depot when the train moved out.
 A later dispatch reports that the protest oi l the State committee against the cancellation of any of MT. Blaine's appointments In th' | State has had it's effect on the national com | mittee, and the original programme will b' permitted to be carried out.
