FRANCE MUST EXPLAIN.
Falsely CharginGthat the Kaiser Killed
an officer.

LONDON, Aug. IA Berlin dispatch
says that Count Won Munster, the Ger
man ambassador at Paris, has been in
structed to ascertain the origin of the
story published in French newspaper
accusing the Kaiser Of having killed
q lieutenant in drunken orgie.
on the Hohenzollern. Although the
German imperial family have
been accustomed to ignore libels
in tho French press, it is said
that Chancellor Caprivi, urged by
the ex-Empress Frederick, considers
this attack in q prominent paper too
serious to be ignored, and it is possible
that, if an apology is not offered, the
French ambassador at Berlin may be
given his passports, not with view to
war but as an evidence of the indigna-
ton of Germany. 1t is understood that
the Kaiser himself has not yet been
made aware of the stateme nts of the
French press, and that when he is
there may be q scene in which the
French legation will figure.
1t may be remembered that the Gar
of Russia, who usually ignores what
foreigners say about him, was accused,
some years ago, of numbering one of his
officers in fit of senseless rage. The
Gar was deeply moved when he heard
ofthe report and caused it to be circum-
stantially denied throughout the world.
1t is believed that the Kaiser, who is
much more sensitive to public opinion,
will have something to say about the &C
cusatlon against him.
Advices from Hohenzollern repre-
sent that the voyage has been without
10 a
kaiser's knee, and that the Kaiser has
found the trip most enjoyable
and refreshing after the exhaus-
ton of his English reception.
1t is said, however, that Emperor
William will be compelled to remain at
that place for fortnight in order that
his knee may have rest and receive
proper medical treatment. The
news has created a feeling of ap-
prehension in Berlin that the
condition of the Emperor is
much worse than it has been repre-
scented in German official circles. The
fact that tn - dispatch above referred to
also brings the information that the
Emperor will, by reason of his crippled
condition, be unable as usual to
adds materially to the anxiety of the
people concerning the actual condition
OF their ruler.
Scrupulously exact in his attention to
even the most important of his military
duties, the Kaiser has been so particu-
lar in the matter of personally review
ing the guard that it is be-
lieved nothing short Of the most serious
disability could compel him to depart
from his practice in tn at regard. The
announcement that he will later attend
manmuvers of the Bavarian and Aus
TRAN troops does not serve to dispel the
fears that are felt for His Majesty's
health

JACK AGAIN AT WORK.
The Terror of WhitechapeI Returns to
Deeds of Blood.

LONDON. Aug. Great excitement
was occasioned in the Whitechapel dis
trict this morning when q rumor was
rapidly passed from mouth to mouth
chat the dreaded "Jack the Ripper"
had again appeared and committed one
of the butcheries that has made his
name a household terror in this most
ill-favored portion of London. That
there was reason for the excitement
there can be no denial.
At all early hour this morning, as one
of the denizens Of Whitechapel, an old
woman named Woolfe, was passing
through one of the numerous dark al
legs with which the region abounds,
she was set upon by an unknown man
armed with a sharp knife. The place
where the assault was made was dark
and dismal one, and as the hour
was early the usual providers had
sought refuge in doorWays or
under arches where they lay in drunken
slumbers. AS rows are of nightly, al
most hourly occurrence in Whltechapel,
no attention was paid, if, indeed, any
taken for one of the usual drunken
scuf11es But for the old woman it was
O scuff}e for life.
From what can be learned Of the
circumstances surrounding the attack
it appears that the man, whom the
people of Whitechapel are firmly
convinced was the famous "Ripper,"
oh
He grasped the woman by the head, and,
drawing her backward, with one hand
across her mouth he silenced the cries
she would naturally have tried to make,
while with the other hand he drew the
keen-bladed knife across her tightly
drawn throat, inflicting terrible
ger, he plunged it into her body again
and again. There is deep wound on
the woman's arm which it is believed
was received while she was atten pting
to ward off the furious blows aimed at
her body.
When released from the grasp OF her
assailant the woman dropped to the
ground with the blood pouring from
her wounds, and when shortly after
ward she was discovered by passing
policeman she was unconscious and in
dying condition. She is 70 years old.
The police are, as usual, hunting for
some clue that will lead to the identi-
fcatton Of the murderer, but, as in all
the other Whitechapel crimes, the as
sassin has disappeared, leaving no trace
save his mutilated viesim.
One man has been taken into custody
on suspicion of being the assass'@, but
the evidence against him is very weak,
and no Importance is attached to the

HURST WITHDRAWS FROM THE RACE.
Just before the ballot opened S. H.
Hurst, Ohio's candidate, asked for rec
ignition. "The state of Ohio, said he,

New York is now united on candidate,
and [ desire to withdraw my name and
second the nomination of Palmer, of
New York" Cheers and applause..1
HOW WEISSERT WAS BEATEN.
Palmer's election was accomplished
by the solidifying of the New York
vote, backed by Pennsylvania, making
total of 1913 on the start. Had New
York remained divided as it
was up to its caucus this morn
ing, Weissert would have won.
The first ballot gave Palmer 322, Weis-
sert 270 and Smedbury III. The an
nouncement of the ballot with Palmer
so far in the lead indicated the certainty
of his ultimate election. Great enthusi-
asm was manifested by the New York
delegates during the second ballot,
when Palmer led from the start. Each
gain was greeted with applause. At
the conclusion, when the result was
still somewhat in doubt, the Cali
fornia delegation changed its en-,
tire vote TO Palmer Prolonged
cheering greeted this announcement,
which meant Smedbury's withdrawal
and Palmer's election. An enthusiastic
delegate at this juDcture moved that
Palmer's election be declared unani-
nous, and it prevailed amid widest
enthusiasm.

iii KIis War Ships Reach Chilli Safely He
Will be Victorious.
SAN Diego, Cal, Aug. An officer
ofsflle United States steamer Pensacola,
Whoarrived yesterday from Chill, states
thatthe progress made so far by either
party in Chill is small. The Congress
siOnal party has plenty of money, while
BalrraCeda is flooding the country with
paper money. Should Balmaceda's
new cruisers arrive from Europe in
good shape to enter engagement the
iEsurgents will be defeated. Both par
ties are we'll supplied with arms and
ammunition. So far only three engage
ments have been fought, and the insur-
gents have been victorious each time.
The insurgent vessels Esmerelda and
Cochrane joined in an expedition
against Coquimbo, and just before the
Pensacola left Iouique it was reported
they had been victorious. The report
of the sinkingof the Pensacola's launch,
Capt. Kantz said, was erroneous. The
blowing up of an insurgent launch by
torpedo was probably the foundation
for the story.

ALEsTINE, O., Aug. IA disastrous
rairoad wreck occurred about fifty rods
west of the depot at APO this morning
The New York and Chicago limited ex-
press, east bound, ran into an open
SWITCH and crashed into four heavy gon-
do cars standing on the siding. The
united consisted of five cars. The
three front cars were thrown from the
tracks, partially wrecking the front
coach and totally wrecking the engine
and freight cars. Engineer Ike
Richie was seriously injured. his left
leg being badly lacerated and his back
ininred. Fireman William Corner
WAS also seriously injured. Elmer
Clupper, resident Of this town, was
Instantly killed. The passengers, num-
bering about fifty, all escaped except
d few bruised. The switch is thought
to have been left open by some of the
night crews. The accident occurred in
i deep cut, and how the passengers es-
capped death is almost miracle. The
front coach was thrown almost to the
t0p#of the embankment and rails are
broken as though they we're pipestems.
United States Senator Moody, of South

LA CROSSE JAIL BREAK.

Four Prisoners Saw Their Way Out-Not
Bad Criminals.
LA CROSSE, WIS, Aug. 6.-Ten prison
ers escaped from the new county
Jail last night, and none have
yet been captured. They had the
run Of the corridor, and by
means of fine saw cut out
piece of window frame, knocked
out half dozen bricks, and had the
way open to liberty. Four were bound
over, but not for serious offenses,
and the balance were serving short
Jail time. The prisoners are locked up
at s o'clock, so this escape took place a
few minutes before that time, and as
the jail is isolated nobody saw it.

II. Encampment.
CHICAGO, H., Aug. For the next
thirty days the scalpers viii reap a
harvest as result of the Grand Army
encam pment. The Michigan Central
failed to make arrangements to have the
return coupons of the Grand Army
tickets stamped at Detroit so that they
could not be used by scalpers. In the
contract of the Western roads it was
provided that the tickets should be
stamped for return passage, and If the
action of the Michigan Central had
escaped observation every veteran from
the West in Detroit this week would
have been compelled to pay his fare
home out of his own pocket, as his
ticket would have been worthless. For
tungeIy this condition of affairs was
discovered, and the Western roads SO
modified their arrangements as to make
the tickets good for anybody until the
thirty days limit had expired. This
saved the veterans, but it was harvest
for The scalpers.
