WASHINGTON, Sept. IO.-There is go
ing to be fun in the next congress and no
mistake. The Republicans have so slim
a majority that they scarcely will be able
to put through any measure of strictly
partisan nature, and the Democrats
could, if so disposed, obstruct legislation
at will This they viii only do, how
ever, to defeat such obnoxious schemes
rs the Blair bill and to resist the unseat-
ing of members of their party. The Re
publicans have lG4 members; the Demo-
Gratis. IGI. Should the Republicans
make a sweep of the new states,
Montana excepted, the status will
be l6S to 1872, or a majority Of six for the
Republicans. Out of this it viii be next
to impossible for them to get quorum
should the opposition refrain from yot-
ing, and consequently the tremendous
disadvantages under which they labor IS
apparent. With so narrow a margin it
will be the merest chance if the Demo-
cratic party succeeds in getting through
but the most formal legislation.
The attitude of
THE SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS.
too, is q matter of conjecture and gives
great uneasiness to the administration.
Should they band together TO capture the
principal offices they could force the
Northern colleagues to come to terms or
turn over the control of the house to the
Democrats. The latter would be too
bitter an alternative and it is thought
the Northern members would give up
everything rather than allow this.
A STRONG
fight will be made in the internal reve-
nue. system, and an active coterie of in
tluentiaI men will be here to lobby for
the repeal of the tax on tobacco.

WHITECHAPEL MURDER.
The LATEST the Most Fiendish of the Whole
Series of Murders.

The Latest the Most Fiendish of the Whole
Series OF Murders.
LONDON, Sept. lO.-At $3.50 O'Clock
this morning policeman found the body
of a fallen woman lying at the corner of
the railway arch on Cable street, White
chapel. An examination of the re-
mains showed that the head and arms
had been cut off and carried away and
the stomach ripped open. The intestines
were lying on the ground. A
Gordon of police instantly sur
rounded the spot, but no arrests
have up to this hour, S a. m.
been made. Policemen pass this spot
every fifteen minutes. Those on duty
last night say they saw nothing suspicious.
Physicians who examined the body state
that in their opinion the murder and
mutilation occupied nearly an hour. 1t
is surmised that the murderer
CARRIED OFF THE HEAD
and arms in a bag The murder is the
worst of the whole series of WhltechapeI
murders. The manner in which the
limbs had been severed from the body
shows that the murderer was possessed of
some surgical skill. The woman was
about thirty years of age, Her cloth
ing was shabby and she
was evidently spirit drinker
The remains here have not been iden-
titled. The most intense excitement
again prevails in WhitechapeI, crowds
surrounding the mortuary in which the
body lies.
Later details concerning the finding of
the body of the murdered woman show
there was
NO BLOOD ON THE GROUND
where the body was found, neither was
there any blood on the body, From this
it is evident the murder was committed
in some other place, and that
the body was su bsequently de-
posted under the railway arch.
The trunk was nude. A rent and bloody
chemise was found lying near the body
The arms were intact, but the legs were
missing. 1t is believed the woman has
been dead two days. Three sailors who
were sleeping under the arch next to the
one under which the body was found were
taken into custody by the police They
convinced the authorities, however, that
they had seen or heard nothing of a sus-
picious nature and they were discharged.

STORM AT SEA.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Incoming YES
sells are anxiously awaited for news of
the great storm at sea which has been
raging the past few days. That it has
been the worst storm in recent years is
made evident by the high tides and the
storm waves which did such great dam
age along the coast. In this city the eel
lars and first floors of buildings along the
water front are all flooded this morning,
and the ferry boats have difficulty in
getting into their slips. Reports of great
damage done by the storm at high tide
last night all along the coast are coming
in, and as the tide this morning was
HIGHER THAN LAST NIGHT
it was evident an enormous amount of
property has been destroyed. Along the
Now Jersey coast the low beaches were
submerged and the railroad tracks in
iured. Thousands of spectators watched
the surf, which was the widest and
highest known in years.
Atlantic City, n . j e, is completely cut
off from the main land. Much of the
board walk and many bathing houses
have been ground into kindling wood.
Several payilions were lifted bodily from
their pilings and destroyed. Reports
from Coney Island show the storm was
the worst ever known. All night long
the waves dashed ever the breakwater at
Manhattan and Brighton beach
WITH A TREMENDOUS ROAR.
The Marine railway between the two
places was entirely swept away. This
morning not a vestige is left of the es-
planade in front of the Manhattan hotel
ant; the tide flows in and out Of the base
ment of the building. The concourse
has been swept away and communication
between the East and West Ends is rem
dered impossible. In this city some of
the piers were entirely covered by the
tide and some that are usually twelve
feet above high water mark have their
decks licked by the angry waves. The
bay and river are in an exceeding tuTbu-
lent state owing to high winds. The
ferry boats and general fotiIla were
tossed about like playthings and
WHITE CAPS WERE VISIBLE
as far as the eye could reach. The Jer-
sey shore was inundated in many places,
particularly in the vicinity of the Stand
dard oil company's works at Claremont.
On the East river front buildings from
Fiftieth street to Fourteenth street are
flooded in the great rise of water. The
rock opposite Fiftieth street. which has
heretofore always been visible in extreme
high tides, is now beneath the water and
the spindle buoy on Pilgrim rock at
Nineteenth street has for the first time
been almost covered. The lower end of
Blackwell g island is submerged, and the
keepers were engaged early this morning
removing patients from the frame out
buildings in that portion of the island.
The flood was discussed by all seataT-
ing men with considerable interest this
morning and it seems the general i'm
preston that the tide exceeded any that
we have had in twenty years.

SHERMAN, Tex, Sept. 1O.-The
bridge on the Houston and Texas Central
aEsChOctaw creek. five miles below this
city, was washed away at an early hour
this morning. The south-bound passen-
ger due here at 4 80 m. was stopped in
ChOctaw this morning on account OF high
water. The train men went down to in
vestigate matters and found the bridge
unsafe. While they were discussing the
matter the bridge was swept from its
foundations and carried into the middle
of the stream. The train was then pulled
back to Sherman and was kept until
1850 a. m. when it took the place of
No. 3 and went north. The creek is still
rising and it Will probably be q week be-
fore the bridge can be replaced. Mail
matter was transferred this evening and
arrived here about 6 o CLOCK. The wash
out on the Texas and Pacific west of
Denton delayed the Fort Worth train for
Several hours.

Montana Forest Fire

HELENA, MONT, Sept. 10.-Informa-
ton has just been received here of one of
the most destructive forest fires yet re-
ported in Montana. The fire occurred
Sunday night in the Stregis district, Mis-
SCUBA county, and the Cokely ranch was
made a barren waste in less than thirty
minutes. Cokely and the hostess of the
ranch mounted horses and barely es-
capedsEss with their lives TO
tte Ger, less than quarter of
= mile away, and reached the water
after having their clothes nearly all
burned from their bodies. They re-
named in the water over two hours, and
even there the heat and smoke were al
most suffocating. A Swedish prospector
named Anderson tied his horse IN a gully
about half mile from the Cokely ranch
and went up the hillside to his claim.
Both horse and man persisted in the
flames J C. Valdez, who has returned
from the Stregis country, says he feels
certain several men persisted in the flames
higher up the mountains.

The monetary situation is frightened by the large

the Bank of France lost last week only about
81 100000. II would be premature to suppose
that all danger of disturbance here from Euro
pean markets is over for the season. but ~ is AT
least clear in the weakened market for foreign
exchange that bankers no longer apprehend n
drain from abroad rs much as they recently dld.
Besides immense quantities of products, against
which bills of exchange were sold when monetary
pressure was first felt went forward in Septem-
Der. and now the even larger movement OF cotton
and other products must soon begin to tell upon
tho exchange market. The only considerable move
ment in securities recently reported has been some
purchasing on foreign account, but it is probable
that the ill-success of some trust operations may
check foreign inclination toward similar contriv-
ances in this country. The approaching session
of Congress is felt in financial circles this year
only as an encouragement because it is hoped that,
with both houses in political accord with the
President some judicious reduction OF the revenue
may be effected.
