IT is noted as an impressive coinci-
dence that almost at the same time that
the half-witted young man shot a pris-
oner in a New York court room the
other day for having made a criminal
assault upon the young mans sister,
another prisoner was being tried in an
other room in the same building for the
same offense. The prosecuting officer
in addressing the jury was saying that
had the victim been the daughter of a
millionaire, instead of a child of pow
erty, the community would be raised to
pitch of intense excitement which
might lead vindictive men to overstep
the bounds of the law. Then someone
among the spectators shouted in husky
and passionate voice, "Who's got a
rope ?" and the police tried to interfere
to prevent trouble. The two incidents
go to show that there are some crimes
that would be visited with swift pun
ishment if the police were not handy to
vindicate the majesty of the law.

MIR HARRISON Is STUBBORN.

Mr. Harrison has long been known as
a very stubborn man and by two very
conspicuous actions, this week, one pub
lie and one private, he has emphasized
his right to the title. His public act
was the nomination of John w. Foster
of Indiana, to be secretary of state, in
spite of the protests of leading republi-
cans and in the face of his already hav-
ing one Indiana man in the cabinet.
This is unsatisfactory to the Blaine ele-
ment, for two reasons. First, they be-
lieve that Fosters spying upon Mr.
Blaine, at the instigation of Mr. Harri-
son, had no little to do with driving
him out of the cabinet, and lastly they
believe that it indicates determination
upon the part of Mr. Harrison to give
the vacancy on the bench of the SUI
preme court to Attorney General
Miller, although it is thought that he
will not dare to do it until after the
stubbornness.
What he did in private is of far more
interest to democrats, and will be a
factor not to be overlooked in the de-
feat of Harrison and Reid. Public opin-
ion having shown SO Enthusiastically its
aversion to any revival of the attempt
to bring the force bill to the front again
a number of republicans. including
several senators who are opposed to the
force bill, called on Mr. Harrison for the
purpose of trying to persuade him that
it would be good politics to defer to
public sentiment, and announce in some
unmistakable way that if reelected ht
would not use his influence as president
to have the force bill passed. He a
once assumed his most frigid manner
and told his callers that the force bill
was the one measure which he intended
to see enacted into a law, if the repuhli
| cans controlled the next house,

Cream and Neill and the London Fiend
May be the Same.
NEw.YoRK, July a.-The police of this
city are interested in the report that
the Thomas Neill, now in custody in
London for murder and blaekmail, il
native of Quebec by the name of
Dr.. Thomas N. Cream. It is stated on
good authority that Cream was in Lon
don at the time of the Jack the Rip
per outrages, and that he was in Cam
ada when they had entirely ceased. A
prominent officer at police headquar-
ters said that is is quite possible that
Cream, or Neill, is Jack the Ripper. /,
Cream is the son of a wealthy lumber
merchant of Quebec, who died some
years ago. He swindled his fathers es-
tate out of several thousand dollars,
and was charged with having killed sew
eral women in Kingston, but was &C.
quilted. He was later confined to the
penitentiary at Joliet, ILL.,, on a life
sentence for having murdered a woman,
but was released about two years ago.
There IL strong corroborative evidence
that Neill is the man who has this rec
ord on this side of the ocean. He calls
himself Thomas Neill, and Creams
name Is Thomas Neill Cream. Besides
this, the only picture Of Miss Sabbatini,
the woman who was engaged co Neill,
and who is now the chief,witness against
him in this country, was given by DR..
Cream to a friend of his in Quebec.

SILVER In The SENATE
The Stewart Bill Passes by q
Vote of 20 to rs.
HILL VOTES IN THE AFFIRMATIVE.

Generally Believed That the Bill VIII
Pierce and General Tracey Hold Differ
emit Views ON the Subject of Ats Passage.
WASHINGTON. July 2.-The Silver bill
has passed the Senate.
Senator Hill voted in the affirmative.
1t is thu general belief that the bill
will now pass the House, although Gen.
Tracey, who will lead the fight against
it, says tnat he can successfully
filibuster against it, unless the
House should adopt cloture
rule, which he does not believe they
will do.
The Senate refused to recommit the
Silve bill to the Finance Committee by
vote of 81 to %. This was a test vote
and a victory for the silver men.
Mr.. Hill voted against the motion to
recommit, because he believed it to be
in violation Of the agreement entered
into.
MIR. Vest moved to postpone the bill
and amendments to the first Monday in
December, and ON the motion a roll call
was ordered.
Mr.. Stewart and others insisted chat
this was in violation of the agreement.
Mr.. Blackburn move d to lay the mo-
ton to postpone on the table, and on
that motion called for the yeas and
nays, which resulted: Yeas, %; nays
%; so the motion was lost
The question then came up on the mo-
Uion to postpone until the first Monday
| in December.
The motion was lost without divi-
sion. Then Mr.. Stewart offered his sub
| stitute bill as an amendment.
Mr.. Morgan moved to amend this by
adding a provision requiring the Score
| tory OF the Treasury to coin all the sill
| yer bullion in the Treasury. Mr.. Hale
moved to apJourn.
MIR. Blackburn demanded the yeas and
| nays on the motion.
The vote was: Yeas, 10; nays, 81. So
| the motion was lost.
The yeas and nays were called ON a
number of other motions.
| Then the roll was called on the final
passage Of the bill as amended, and re-
suited: Yeas, 20; nays, rs. So the
bill passed.
Representative Pierce, of Tennessee,
one of the leading silver men in the
House, is ju bilant over the passage OF
the Silver bill in the Senate.
Speaking OF its chances in the
House, Mr.. Pierce said that he
had 80 Democrats pledged to force
| the Com mittee on Rules to bring
in a special order fixing a day fol
the consideration of the bill.
If this is not done they will block all
further legislation until their demand
Is agreed to.
Congressman Catchings, a member OF
the House Committee ON Rules, which
committee will very likely take d promi
nent part in the fight for or against the
speedy consideration of the Silver bill
says that he does not know what action
the committee will take in the matter

Queer Legal Decision.

A decision has been rendered In
Helena, Mont, by Judge Knowles,
United States district judge. to the eff
feet that beer is not spirituous liquor.
The case on trial was that of a man who
had sold bottle Of beer to an Indian
on the Grow reservation The federal
statutes provide penalty for selling
spirituous liquors and wine to an Indian
on the reservation. By the interpreta-
ton of this federal judge beer was held
not to be included within the mean
ing of the statute and the offender was
discharged. If this decision is sus-
tanned wide door will be open for the
liquor traffic in the Indian country,
which the brewers and beer sellers will
not be slow to take advantage of, and
which must result in much additional
drunkenness, disorder and peril on the
frontier.
