SENATOR HILLS TOUR.
Cordial Welcome by Citizens of Bir-
fnfnglIanl. Alabama.


BIRMINGHAM (Ala.), March 16.-The
city is filled with enthusiastic Democrats
to welcome Senator Hill, who arrived
this morning from Jackson, Miss. They
cheered him as he proceeded to the hotel
as guest of the Hill Club of this city.
At 1880 he was escorted by 900 promi-
nent citizens, and proceeded to the opera
house, which was lavishly decorated.
when he was introduced by Colonel
Hewitt and delivered an address.
AS heretofore, Hill opened his address
with praise of the South and the treat
p:ent received at the hands OF the South
erners. He delivered several sentences
teeming with enthusiasm at the prosper
ity of Birmingham, its resources and
future. He was glad the inhabitants had
not forgotten the principles laid down by
jefferson; glad they had not forgotten
the facts that the great and valuable
acquisitions Of territory in this country
were all acquired through efforts of
Democratic statesmen, and that the great
foreign wars which the country waged
We're under the auspices of Democratic
leaders. He denied that the Republican
party gave lustre to the history of this
country. [Applause.l The principles Of
Jefferson, which hadibecome theessential
principles OF Democracy, formed the
guided Democratic steps through an
age o. revolut on and reform.
The campaign of 1883 was reviewed ex-
haustiYely. Regarding the coming cam
paign, he said the Democracy would be
victorious if stood by the old principles
and did not run after new and untried
things. 1t is not essential who the candi-
dates of the Democratic party may be.
The great point is to achieve victory for
Democratic principles. lApplause. II
pledge you the State of New York. I
pledge New York's electoral vote for the
Democratic party. [Great applause

ageous fight, will exert the influence of

pies are essential I'd the welfare OF the

After extending thanks for the atten-
ton received, the Senator withdrew.
amid vociferous cheering. In the even
ing Hill and party We're guests of the
Hill Club at a banquet. Several speeches
were made. The party left late Tonight

Roads In Dilemma Over Two Court
Decisions.
CHICAGO, March 16.-On petition of the
Wichita Board Of Trade, United States
District Judge Rivers has granted tenn
porary injunction against the Atchison,
Missouri Pacific, and st. Louis and San
Francisco roads, restraining them from
taking out rates on sugar, coffee, beans
and canned goods. ordered into effect by
the Kansas Railroad Commissioners.
Between this decision and that of an
Atchison County Judge restraining them
from putting the same rates into effect.
the railroads are in a dilemma. TO obey
Judge Rivers order they will be com
PEELED to put the Commissioners rate
into effect to-day, yet they cannot do so
legally, the law requiring them to issue
tariffs and file them with the Interstate
Commerce Commissioners at least three
days before they can be made effective.
Advices were received to-day that at a
meeting of the steamship agents of New
York a definite agreement was reached
to reduce the commissions charged
Western roads on immigrant business to
S. from Chicago to California, and So to
Colorado points. This action is the re-
suit, it is said, of fear that the Atchison's $
threat to reduce rates west of the Mis-
sonri River would deprive them of all
commissions on business unless the COM
missions were voluntarily reduced.

LIVERPOOL, March l6.-The police have
been pursuing an inquiry into the disap-
pearance of woman and children who
formerly lived at Rainhill, a part of
Liverpool. The inquiry was started in
connection with the arrest at Melbourne,
Australia, of man named Williams,
charged with numbering woman there.
This morning the hearthstone of the
house at Liverpool where the missing
family formerly lived was raised, and
the bodies OF woman and three children,
partly consumed by quicklime, was un-
earthed.
A plausible theory has sprung from
these discoveries. The further the mat
ter is investigated the stronger grows the
belief that Williams is none other than
the worldwide known Jack the Rip
PERI Williams, while resident OF
Liverpool, made frequent visits TO Lon
0on. The police have traced his move
Ilents between the two places, and it has
cen found that his visits 10 London cor
respond with the times when the un-
fortunate women III the Whitechapel
district were found with their throats cut
and bodies mUtilated in the shocking
manner characteristic of the crimes of the
'Ripper." 1t will be recalled that a de-
scription was given the police of the ap-
pearance of the man when seen in COM
pany with several of the unfortunate
women whose bodies were subsequently
found lying in pools of blood in the
streets of Whitechapel. This description
tallies exactly with the appearance of
Williams as given by the people of Liver
pool well acquainted with him.
The question as to who Williams really
is, and how he lives, remains a mystery.
When he first came to Raineville he
was hail fellow well met with the in
habitants, but he never gave an inkling
of his personal history. After he rented
the villa, an unk nown woman with
children arrived. Nobody saw them
arrive or depart. About the same time
another woman whom he said was his
sister arrived and visited him at the hotel.
She was seen twice, and then also
vanished. After being absent from the
hotel all day he used to frequently re-
turn covered with dirt, explaining his
untidy appearance by saying he had been
putting new floors in the house. After liv-
ing at the villa few days, he returned
to the hotel, saying he could not stop
there; that his sister and children had
gone away, and his plans were unsettled.
Search for victims will be continued in
other rooms tomorrow. The brutality
OF the murderer suggests the ferocity of
Jack the Ripper"

to obtain heavy damages Tor the injury of

don to st. Helena. He also unsuccess-
