JACK THE RIPPER.
The Melbourne Murderer Suspected of the
Crime.

MELBOURNE, March 29.-COnsldernble
excitement has been caused here by the
statement published by the Argus, in
which it is declared that Demming, the
murderer, had made confession. There
has been Il strong suspicion entertained
here in England that Demming is none
other than the notorious "Jack the Rip
per-" SLAYER of Whitechapel, London, out
casts, and this suspicion is borne out in
measure not only by Demming's appear
ance, which closely tallies with the de-
scription given of the Whitechapel fiend,
but by his alleged confession.
The Argus is reliable newspaper and
there is no reason to doubt the truthful
ness Of the statement it makes to-day,
that Demming has acknowledged that he
killed his wife and four children ut Den
ham, at Rain Hill, near Liverpool; that
he murdered and mutilated the last two
women whose bodies we're found in the
purlieus of Whitechapel. Although he
has confessed that these two Whitechapel
women fell victims to his mania for MUIR
der, while not denying, does not admit
that he killed the other Whitechapel
woman, whose murders at the time at
tracted the attention of the whole world.
II is believed. however, that when he
finds all hope Of escape from the clutches
ofthe law cut off he willcontess, NOT only
these murders, hut othersof which the
police know nothing.
In his confession. the Argus saws Det,-
ming makes no mentjonof his object of
mutilatipg the bodies Of his Wiitechapel
victims aud removing certain organs. hut
it adds there is scnrcelsa Doubt that the
man Ia afflicted with disease similar in

PULITZFR'S SUPERSTITION.
Some Queer Fancies of the Owner OF New
York World.

For practical man Of the world and
the owner of big daily newspaper, JOS
eph Pulitzer, proprietor of the New ork
World is one of the most superstious men
living.
His supertitions are numeroua, but the
principal one is that on the 10th day OF
the month is his lucky day. He never
begins an important undertaking on any
other day of the month than the 10th. he
purchased the World May 10th lSS2, and on
November 10, 1887, began the publication
of the Evening World. Ground was bro
ken for his big building on the 10Th OF Il
month, the cornerstone was laid OH the
10th and the World moved into it on the
10th. On the 10th of the present month
the publication of Brooklyn edition OF
the Evening World was begun.
Mr.. Pulitzer will not start on Journey
on any other day of the month than the
10th, and every new feature OF his paper
is enaugurated on that day. The only
reason he can give for this is that the loth
is his lucky day.

NOT a CANDIDATE.
President Harrison May Decline ID Renom-
nation.

New YORK, March 2G.-The Commercial
Advertiser publishes the following special
from Washington: Some days ago Sena-
tor Proctor was quoted as saying that
President Harrison would not be a candi-
date for denomination. The publication
called forth number of denals, though
none from the President himself. The
statement was made to the Commercial
Advertiser correspondent to-day upon the
very best authority that Mr.. Harrison did
not want denomination, and that he was
very doubtful about letting his name so
before the convention at all.
1t was not asserted that Mr.; Harrison
positively would not accept. but i'll was
said that he was disenclincd to run again,
and that he would not accept the nomina-
ton unless it came to him without the
least opposition, and the situation seemed
to make his reelection reasonably sure.
1t is understood that Mr.. Harrison would
not object to the nomination of either Mr..
Mckinley or Senator Allison.

THE RACE PROBLEM.
Chicago Negroes Protest Against tho
Treatment of Their Race.

CHICAGO, March 29-One thousand ne
groes assembled at the Bethal A. NJ. Z.
Church last night to consider the recent
Southern ouirages upon their race" The
first sensation Of the evening came when,
after short address, Pastor Rev, Geo. w.
Gaines asked the audience to Join him in
singing "America." AS one man the au.
dence rose and refused TO sing that song
until this country is what it claims to be,
ssweet land of liberty" The pastor sub
stituted "John Brown" Several addresses
followed the singing
Among the speakers were State Repre-
sentative Morris who urged the colored
people to organize into leagues and asso-
Citations to resist by united efforts, out
RACES by the whites. F C. Barnel, speak
ing on the recent Memphis lynching said
"Memphis calls itself the Queen City of
South" and boasts OF its intelligence and
honor. Its inhabitants have all the wealth,
all the influence, all that poweror ayarice
could suggest, and yet, thus fortified. the
city permits men of honor and business
integrity, who have grown from infancy
to manhood about its streets; men who
never felt the law even to feather weight,
bnt were known far and wide as ndustri-
Gus, upright, creditablc citizens, to be
east into Jail for defending their property
and lives. This queen city stands to
their defense md utters no word of pro-
test. The jailor in charge ut ihs time of
the lynching was severely scored, as was
the white press" which, admitting that
it was nh unfortunate affair, warned the
negroes that an attempt to retaliate might
become serious"
The speaker closed by appealing to the
negroes OF the county to abstaii from
rashness, hut ousc calm calculation and
courage ard deliberate oyer Tie manner
