WASHINGTON, July ia committee
of five from the Republican National Ex-
ecutive COMMITTEES, consisting Of Chairman
Quay, Vice Chairman Clarkson, Treasurer
Dudley, Mr.. Fassendsn and Mr.. Hobart
has been in conference here for three days
with a view of harmonizing the troubles in
the Republican party in Virginia. To-day
a conclusion was reached by the National
Committee, approving of the call for Q
State Convention to be issued by VIM.
Malone as chairman Of the regular com
mittee, and Mr.. Brady, ON behalf oi the
other side, eoncurred in the action of the
committee. The complaint of the anti
Malone Republicans was that they had
been allowed to have free and open con-
ysntions in precinct, county and State
that the chairman Of the party committees
APPOINTED by General Mahone's chairman
slweys named the temporary chair
man and secretary of the pre-
cinct and county conventions,
and did not give free and open conventions
for the expression Of individual Rspubli-
can pIeferenees. The call for the State
Convention to be held on the 22d Of Au-
gust. is so broadened as to give the protee-
tion thus asked. 1t provides that the pre-
cipc. and county conventions shall elect
their own officers, aud that their 1erms-
nent chairman and secretary shall certify
the delegates elected 10 the chairman of the
State committee 1t also provides that the
frsl duty of the State Convention after the
reading of the call shall be to have read a
list of the delegates certified by the County
Conventions 10 the State committee. 1t
also provides that dissenting delegates
shall be admitted to seats on the floor OF
the convention.
The National Committee gives approval
of the call in a public card. Chairman
Oaay and vice Chairman Clarkson, IN con-
Tersation with a representative OF the Aseo-
ciated Press, this evening said; I'VE found
both elements sincerely anxious to effect a
party unity. Mr.. Brady and Mr.. Groner,
and their friends, submitted themselves to
the arbitration of the National Committee,
and in every way showed themselves not
only reasonable, but intelligent and anx-
ious to accomplish complete harmony:
I Cen. Mahone and his friends showed equal
sincerity in trying TO unite the party. The
whole session of three days bad been har-
mouiOus and nothing in the least unpl Gag
ant has occurred"

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The reports OF
Col. Merrill, of the Engineer Corps, upon
river and haIbor work on the Ohio, Mon
ousahela and Allegheny rivers, have been
received. The report upon the Ohio river
Is quite yoluminous, going into minute de-
tails as to the Davis Island dam and all
Others. It recommends an appropriation
Of $779, 600 for next year.
II is the design of Congress 10 continue
the improvement OF the MOnongahela Iiver
in accordance with the report Of 1875. The
time has now come for making begin
ming, for which an appropriation OF $780,
600 will be required. Fifty thousand dol
lars are asked for operating and care Of
lock and dam No. on the MonOr ahela
river. Authority was granted to raise the
lower part Of the lock walls to an eqaal
height with the upper, and to increase
the guard. 1t was found imprac-
ticable to complete this work in
one season. Both lower buttresses
were raised 81 feet and the height OF
the lower lock gates increased the same AID
the apparatus of the stone valve adapted
to the new conditions. To complete this
work il will be necessary to raise the
chamber walls by one course on the land
side and two courses on the river SIDE, ana
to fill it and pave behind the land wall.
The upper arm of the upper lock gate is
decayed and must be replaced, and few
stones should be added to the abutment.
The flood of July carried away the lock-
keepers house and other buildings, and
new house must be built, but is not imme'
diately necessary, ss the present keeper
occupies his own quarters.
Ii is determined to expend further ap-
preparations in the construction of dikes
and low dams wherever the abnormal
width of the river or the existence OF du-
plicate channel makes it advantageous
There is a balance remaining Of $4,000,
and $50. 600 is wanted for next year for the
purpose. A special appropriation Of $685.
coo is asked for lock and dam at Her1's
Island. The subject of continuing and
improving the system Of locks and dams IN
the Ohio and tributaries have been especi-
ally examined by the chief of engineers
aad will be treated at length Ia his forth
coming annual report.
Fifteen thousand dollars is asked for the
improvement of the hsrbor at the mouth Of
the Muskingum. A summary Of the
commerce of Muskingum river shows that
:, ,3l6 steamers, 1902 barges ard $50 mis-
eellaneous craft passed through the locks
during the year 1889.

naut who started out Tuesday from New

somewhere for the purpose of creating q
sensation and securing advertising, still
Others believe him safe and that he will
turn up all right in a few days. Hogan

no matter in what predicsmeat he finds
himself, never loses self-control. He was

was an ordinary pocket knife. He carried
no other weapon. He declared that he

himself with a military air. His actions
indicate that he is insane.

The identity of the man taken into Gus

picion Of being the Whitechapel murderer
is carefully concealed for the present by
the authorities, He he's confessed that h'
murdered all the womsn whose bodies
have been found in and about the White

victims, the dates upon which he killed
them and all the CHASTITY and indecent de

The police believe that he is lunatic
but that possibly the story he tells is true
and that he is the man for whom the.
