THE ENGINEER COMMISSIONER.
1t Is Said that Maj. Raymond VIII Ask
to be Relieved.

The appointment Of Major Ernst as superin-
tendent Of public buildings and grounds has
revived the story that Major Raymond may be
relieved as Engineer Commissioner OF the Dis
trict.
Recently Maj. Raymond, it is stated, told a
prominent army officer that unless the Presi-
dent took some action in his case he would ask
to be relieved. 1t has been known for some
time that Maj. Raymond was not pleased with
his position. His duties are arduous, and then
his relations with the other two Commissioners
are somewhat strained
When Col. Wilson was given the post at
West Point it was thought that Maj. Raymond
would succeed him as superintendent of public
buildings and grounds and that Maj. Ernst
would be detailed as District Commissioner.
1t is well known that the chief Of engineers
was in favor Of Maj. Raymond's appointment
to succeed Col. Wilson and that he was backed
by a member Of the cabinet
Now that Major Ernst has received his ap-
pointment it is understood that Major Raymond
will ask to be relieved. In conversation with a
STAR reporter today Major Raymond said that
he had not yet asked the President to relieve
him from the position of Engineer Commis-
sioner Of the District, but could not tell what
his future action would be.

THE DESTITUTE STRIKERS.
Women and Children in London Go
Whole Days Without Food.

LONDON, Sept. 10.-The destitution in the
East End Of London among the families Of the
striking dock hands is something appalling.
Many Of the women and children have been for
whole days without food and all the relief for
warded by the charitably disposed scarcely
makes an impression upon the distress, so
great Is its extent. During the first days Of the
great strike the wives of the men managed to
get an occasional meal for themselves and their
children by taking their few household goods
piece by piece and their clothing to the pawn
brokers' shop. But there are few now who
have anything left to pawn. The shopmen
have long ago been forced to refuse all credit,
and as result these poor unfortunates are de-
pendent solely upon charity for sustenance.
Notwithstanding their deplorable condition
the dockers wives are quite as determined as
their husbands in fighting their fight against
their employers to the bitter end, and it is even
said by those living among these people that
the strike would have been over week ago
and the men would have gone to work at the
masters terms but for the persistent obstinacy
OF the women, who preferred to suffer the
pangs OF hunger rather than permit their hus-
bands to submit to defeat
PETITION FROM THE CORN EXCHANGE,
Many members Of the corn exchange have
signed petition asking the home Office to put
q stop to the intimidation by strikers of men
who are willing to work.
AMEETINa TO-DAY.
meeting of the striking workmen was held
at Tower hill today. Mr.. Tillett, one Of the
leaders Of the strike, who founded the dock
laborers' union, addressed the strikers He
said he believed that the mediation of Cardinal
Manning between the men and the employers
would result in an early settlement Of the ques-
tons at dispute between them.
ASHAMED OF AMERICAN woRKMEN.
MIR. John Burns announced the receipt Of .
number OF subscriptions from Australia for the
benefit Of the strikers. He said that the work.
men of America had forwarded sentiment and
sympathy enough to encircle the globe if COM
mitted to paper, but not single cent to re-
heve the wants Of their fellow workmen. He
was ashamed Of the organized workmen of
America.
LIBERAL CONTRIBUTION FROM MELBOURNE.
The people of Melbourne have sent s10, 900
as contribution to the relief fund of the Lon
don strikers.
CARDINAL MANNING TO SPEAK.
Cardinal Manning will address a committee
OF the strikers at q meeting tonight A su-
preme effort will be made to effect q settle
ment Of the troubles

Gen. Rosecrans VIII STAY.

No credence is given to the story that Cor
poral Tanner is to be transferred from the COM
missionership Of pensions to the registership
Of the Treasury, succeeding Gen. Rosecrans.
The chances are decidedly favorable to Gen
Rosecrans remaining in his present position
throughout the term of President Harrison.
The Grand Army folks want this. It is also to
be considered that the general is Chauncey De-
pew's uncle, and Mr.. Depew wants him re-
tanned as register Of the Treasury. Mr.. De-
pew led tn New York delegation to Harrison
stands weil with the administration. It is
understood that the President has declared
that he has no intention of removing Gen.
ROsecrans.

THE WORLDS FAIR OF 1892.
Representative Norwood's Reasons Why
1t Should BE Held In Washington.

81 think the worlds fair of 1892 will be held
in Washington" said Judge Norwoodo of Georgia
to STAR reporter today. 1T is the proper
place for 1.-THE only place where it could have
a national character. If it is to be anything
but private speculation it should be supported
by the government, and here is where the gov
ernment would naturally holdit. There are two
reasons why think Washington will be the plAce
selected. First, a majority Of the members Of
Congress are not interested in any great me-
tropolis and would prefer the celebration to
be in Washington. Second, those who are in
terested in the cities that are fighting for 1t
will antagonize each other, and each city will
prefer to have the celebration held by the gov
ernment at the national capital to having it 60
to rival commercial city. The celebration
must be national, must be the celebration OF
the whole people-every man, woman and
child-and must be held at the national capital
The southern Congressman will be for Wash
ington."

BUTCHERED BY JACK THE RIPPER
A London Murder that Excels All Its
Predecessors for AtrOcity.

LONDON, Sept. 10.-At $50 this morning Q
policeman found the body Of an abandoned
woman lying in a corner Of a railway arch
spanning Cable street, in Whitechapel Exam
ination Of the body showed that the head and
legs had been cut off and carried away and the
stomach ripped open, leaving the bowels lying
upon the ground. The police authorities
Immediately placed a Gordon of officers around
the spot, but no arrests were made. A police.
man passed the place where the body was found
every fifteen minutes throughout the night and
saw nothing to arouse his suspicious.
THE medical EXAMINATION.
Physicians who examined the body believe
that the murder occupied nearly an hour and
it is surmised that the murderer carried the
head and legs away in q bag. The murder Ia
the most horrible of the whole Whitechapel
series. The dissection of the body showed that
the perpetrator possessed considerable surgical
skill The murdered woman was about thirty
years Of age and was evidently addicted to ex-
cessive use OF spirituous liquors. Her clothing
was shabby. As yet she has not been identi-
fed The murder has created tremendous ex-
element and large crowd Of agitated human
ity surrounds the morgue, whittier the body
was taken.
SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN KILLED TWO DAYS AGO.
Further examination reveals the fact that
there was no blood on the ground where the
body was found, nor were there any indications
of a struggle. This confirms the general belief
that the woman was murdered in a house and
her body taken to the spot where it was discov-
cred. The trunk was nude and q torn and
bloody chemise was lying near it. Experts
are Of the opinion that the woman was killed
two days ago.
THEY WE'RE ASLEEP NEAR THE BODY,
Three sailors were subsequently to the dis
covery Of the body found sleeping in the ad-
joining arch. They we're arrested, but con-
vinced the police that they had neither seen
nor heard anything Of the murder or the body
lying near them and were discharped
