the issue between General Miles and

of the beef supplied the army. and Oh
the request of General Eagan. the war
department has issued II special order
for the assembling of board Of officers

to the responsibility for the loss of 3O0.-
600 pounds of refrigerated beef sent to
Porto Rico when the expedition under
General Miles was there.
The 1000 pounds of beef referred to
was shipped from Newport News to
Porto Rico about the time that word
came from General Miles that he had
supplied himself with fresh beef taken
on the island. The refrigerated beef
made the trip to Porto Rico and back
but by the time it reached Montauk
Point it is understood to have spoiled
owing to the delay and consequent lack

RED KEY. Ind, Jan. 2.-An explo-

pressing station near here, caused a loss
estimated at 100000. Engineer w. E.

ragged until the building was destroyed.

DOZENS OF VICTIMS.
Joseph yachcr. the French "Jack the
Ripper" Guillotined.

Ripper. GutlIottned.
PARIS, jar. 2.--Joseph Nacher. the
French Jack the Ripper" has been
yullotined at Bourgon Bresse, capital
Of the Department of the Ain. He pro-
tested his innocence and simulated in
sanity to the last. Nacher. who was 20
years Of age. was condemned at the Oc-
tober assizes at Ain. Early in life he is
known to have brutally murdered four
boys. six women and girls and an old
widow. Most of the victims were tend
ing herds when Nacher came behiud
them and cut their throats.
The exact number of Vacher's victims
will never be known. but it is said that
q, assassinations have been brought
home to him in October last. and the
number was added to as time wore on.
In fact it is doubtful whether the mur-
derer himself knew the real number Of
his victims. He nonchalantly told the
story Of some fresh tragedy from time
to time to the examining magistrate as
the details came to his mind, and in
each case the investigation has fur
nished full confederation Of Nacher's
narratives. The bodies in each case were
found in the places he indicated-in
lonely thickets or in unused wells. He
seems to have killed merely for the sake
Of killing.

The center Of financial power crossed

imports about S6l7. 100000, against
1857 ,OOO. 900 in 1897. and in only two
previous years has the balance risen to
$500, 600. 900. In no past calendar year
have net imports of gold reached $'5.-
600. 600. but this year they have been
about $lAo, 200. November passed
all previous months in value of produce
exports over imports. but December has
gone much beyond November.
