Arrested on Suspicion.

DIR. FRANCIS TUMBLETY THOUGHT To BE con-
CERNED IN THE wHITECHAPEL MURDERS.
DR.. Francis Tumblety, who, according to a
cable dispatch, was arrested in London on sus-
picion of being concerned in the Whitechapel
murders and held on another charge for trial
under the special law passed after the Modern
Babylon" exposures, is known in nearly every
large city in this country. He has lived in
Boston, New York, San Francisco and in this
city at different times during the last twenty
five years. During the war he arrested
here, either in mistake for DIR. Blackburn or
on the charge of being his accomplish. Dr.
Blackburn, it will be recalled, was accused of
attempting to spread yellow fever in the north
by the introduction of infected rags. DIR.
Tumblety always charged that while he
was imprisoned in Washington Secretary
Stanton confiscated q lot of his securities
and did not return them when he was set, free.
He was in Washington last about year ago.
He is about fifty-tive years Old tall and rather
heavy. and looks as if he painted his cheeks
and dyed his hair, heavy mustache and side
whiskers. He is well off and peculiar, and is
the inventor Of a preparation for the cure of
pimples
DR.. Tumblety always attracted attention in
the street. Some years ago he used to go
about wearing jack boots, accompanied by a
large greyhound and followed by man servant,
who also rode after his master when he took
exercise on horseback.
The doctor used to tell a queer story about
himself, as if he believed it. He said he was
once dead, and proceeded to explain by stating
that when riding near Pittsburg one day he
was thrown from his horse and carried home
for dead. He claimed that he then lay dead
for three days, and was only brought to life by
the undertaken, who found him too long for his
coffin, attempting to saw off his leg.
A gold medal the doctor is proud of was
given to him by admirers when he left Canada.
He is said not to have practiced for several
years, and has been a familiar figure for sew
eral seasons at the White Sulphur Springs,
which he visited for some rheumatic affection.
To those who know him the doctor has always
been good deal of puzzle. He always ap-
peared to be well supplied with money but the
police were unable to discover the source of his
secret revenue.

1t is not Senator Sherman's oratory that
makes q speech of his great. He has none of
the tricks of the trained elocutionist He stands
in his place holding one two sheets of his
manuscript in his hand. which he has picked up
from the pile before him upon the desk. and he
reads in an almost monotonous tone, his voice
pitched high, and at q speed that it would puz-
zle any but a most expert stenogragher to fol-
low. Strong emphasis g placed upon the most
important words of each sentence, and now and
then the right hand with q vigorous
movement to the level of the eyes, all except
the index finger closed upon the palm This is
almost the only gesture.
But il is what Senator Sherman says, and not
how he says it, that commands the attention OF
his hearers and of the entire country Every
sentence of his speech to-day was a nugget of
wisdom, every paragraph a true fssure vein Of
truth 1t left absolutely nothing of the Presi-
dents message but the husks of the ignorance

English Pilgrims To Be Received on the 10th
Inspecting Jubilee Presents.
ROME Jan. 6.-The Pope has announced that
he will receive the presidents of the English and
American colleges in Rome, and the British pill
grims the 10th inst. Mgr. Clifford will make
the necessary arrangements for the reception.
The Popss jubilee presents were placed on ex-
hibition at the Vatican to-day, for the first
time. The foreign diplomates. number of
Roman aristocrats, and host of other guests
were present The Pope entered the hall where
the presents had been arranged. at
noon. followed by forty-eight cardinals
and the whole pontificial court His arrival
was greeted with great enthusiasm. The Pope
took seat on his throne, and Cardinal Schiaf
fno proceeded to read address. to which the
Pope replied, saying his soul was deeply moved
by the Manifestations OF love and veneration
reaching him from all parts Of tie world. He
regarded them evidence of the power of the
papacy, which the enemies of the church vainly
attempted to deny. The share taken by the
sovereigns of 1.-THE world in the jubilee proved
that they justly appreciated the Importance of
the papaey. He concluded by praising the or
ganizers OF the exhibition. The Pope afterwards

special gives very graphic picture of the tre-
mendous loss Of life in China from the recent
overflow of the Hoarg Ho river, and the tre-
mendous famine now threatened About one
sixth of the entire area of the Garden of
China, as Honan is styled, is now converted
into vast lake, with here and there pagoda
top, the gable OF some higher wall. rising
over the waters to mark the sites OF what were
q short time ago prosperous cities of
many thousand inhabitants. The rest of
the country is overrun with wretched refugees
who were fortunate enough to escape with their
lives. though with naught else IL hundreds of
instances men who a few weeks ago were men
of wealth to-day sit gazing the inland sea,
stunned, hungry. stupid and detected. without
hardly rag to wear or a morsel of food to eat.
The foundations commenced at little distance
from Kaifung Flu, one of the largest cities of the
province. and in one instant some four miles of
solid embankment of stone, brick, sand and clay
were swept away. In the districts Of Ching Chow
and Chencho no less than 5000 large villages
stated to have been engulfed in very few
moments. and scarcely any of their ill-fated
people had time to save themseles. The extent
of the disaster will be better understood when it
is told that the extent of the flooded country is
much larger than the principality of Wales and
cover nearly 10. 600 square miles. The survivors
are now perishing of famine. According to the
best and most trustworthy authorities the loss
of life will be numbered by hundreds of thou
sands, while the starving people must amount to
nearer millions. The Emperor has already con-
tributed 100000 taels, paid out of his privy
purse besides ordering 1000, 900 taels ont of the
imperial treasury towards the relief OF the suf-
ferers.
