Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch. 7
NEW YORK, May l2-The inquest into the
death of 'Old Shakespeare, - the victim of New
York's Jack the Ripper, which had been ad-
Journed was again put over till Wednesday
morning. At the request of the police and dis
trict attorney, the coroner said to-day the in
quest would bring out some startling features
OF the case which unto the present time have
been kept secret by the authorities. II was
rumored that some remarkable evidence had
been unearthed in Brooklyn and that another
suspect had been arrested there, but the
Brooklyn police denied any knowledge of such a
state OF affairs, as did also Inspector Byrnes.
The Oak street police are reported to have dis
covered two additional Witnesses in the great
murder case. Edwin Smith. who answers the
description of the man who took s'Shakes-
peare" to the East River hotel, is believed to
be one of the new witnesses and the other is a
woman committed named Nellie English Just
how these two people will figure in the case is
still police secret.

Census Bulletin on the Debts of the World

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The census bureau
has issued a bulletin upon the debts of the
world as far as can be obtained. The debt of
foreign nations in 1890, less sinking fund, was
So, 1896 076 CO. an increase over 1889 of s., 1884,
sos, 655. The debt of the United States for the
same time shows dscrease of 81, co., ass, 900, or
more than half the amount OF debt in 1850. The
decrease in the debt of states and territories for
the ten years TO 1890 was 81, $4,000 In the same
time the debt of counties increased Sill $40, COO.
Relatively the burden OF debt is far heavier
upon the inhabitants of the principal foreign
countries, exec ot those OF Germany than upon
this country. While the individual fluctuations
in the amounts of Indebtedness of seyenty-nlne
foreign nations reported have been considerable
during the decade, the aggregate Indebtedness
shows relatively but little change, especially if
compared with the increased population. Aggre-
gazing the national state and county inpebted-
ness per capita, 1t shows decrease from 1869
In is 80 to $50 46 in 1890 The aggregate surplus
receipts for another decade like the one Just
passed would relieve the country from nearly
all national state and county Indebtedness,
could they be distributed for that purpose

No News of the Charleston

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Up to the close of
business hours, no news was received at the
navy department of the movements of the
Charleston. The Itata started from San Diego
last Wednesday-six days ago-and if pushed
to the highest speed, must be nearly out of coal,
so she must soon put into port somewhere, to
replenish her bunkers. The Charleston is also
probably nearly out of coal and news from one
or the other vessels may be expected very soon.
Some comment is caused among the state de-
partment people by the telegraphed statement
that the CHILEAN insurgent cruiser Esmeralda
is now at Acapulco. The fact that her presence
in port is tolerated, is regarded here by some
officers as quasi-recognition by the Mex
lean government of the insurgents as belgger-
ents. If this recognition should take formal
shape it might have important results for the
insurgents, for, under the neutrality laws, their
vessel would find an asylum in Mexican ports.

rohjections to j. H. Scott as Baptist Minister
ESpecial to THE HERALp-Examiner Dispatch. l

BRlDGEPoRT, Conn, May 12.-The reason
why the Baptist council which convened here
Sunday night declined to admit John H. Scott
to the ministry has Just been made public. Mr..
q Scott has been preacher of the Congregational
church for number OF years, but recently en-
braced the Baptist faith and studied with
view OF becoming minister of that denomina-
ton. When his application came before the
council last Thursday, opposition to favorable
action was presented on the ground that the
candidate was unfit to be ordained a Baptist
minister by reason of the fact that he had OBJ
tanned divorce from his wife on other than
Scriptural grounds. The divorce was obtained
twenty years ago on the ground of deSertion
and ten years afterward Mr.. Scott again mar
ried. Therefore in the eyes of the church, so
some OF the directors urge, Mr.. Scott was a big
