The Oriental Diplomat Prostrates 1 Himself Before the President. The n:w Persian Minister, Hadji Hossein Kouli Kahn, has toon formally presented to f President Cleveland by the Secretary of | State. The Minister is very diminutive, and he will enjoy the reputation of being the shortest in stature of any of the members . of the diplomatic corps, not accepting -Mr. .

Tc i tri Numerous Women Butchered by ^ a Midnight Assassin, ly Whitechapel is one of the eastern suburbs q of the metropolis of London. It lies along the river Thames and contains the Tower of co London. In this district there has lately < been committed a series of crimes that rival th in enormity all that has ever been told before, either in fact or in fiction. Since last April eight women have been murdered under circumstances of such pecu bi liar atrocity that all seem to point to some ge one person as the perpetrator. All were dis solute women, and the mutilations of their yj bodies were all of a similar character. Their gp throats were cut, and they were stabbed and cut owjerwiso iu a uivav uui uum umuun. . . Three of these murders occurred between r* the first week in August and the first week in September, and all England has been aroused to a pitch of excitement and trepida- re tion rarely seen in any community, T1 The whole police power of the king-' dom has been brought to bear on be the detection of these crimes. Va- Si rious theories have been propounded in respect to these horrors, some supposing aE from their similarity that one person has committed them all; others that several parsons have been concerned in them together, . and others that the enormity of the first crime has led to imitations of it. Since the beginning of xhis century there have been fifty mysterious murders in this country and pi in England the perpetrators of which have th never been discovered. A late dispatch gives the following particu- cs lars: th The eighth victim of the Whitechapel fiend has been found, and all London is in a state of frenzy. The butcher who gloats in qi his ferocities and delights in the fiendish ? mntilation of human bodies is still at large. The latest victim discovered was evidently murdered some weeks ago, and the frightfully BC' butchered and decomposed body was found in a different locality from any of the other do unfortunates who have fallen under the bane of this mysterious fiend, who can with im- fei munity perpetrate his awful crimes and ter- es rorize a class of London's citizens. he The newest revelation suggests the thought that already he has executed bis awful threat, j), "Fifteen before I stop,'' was marked on the pj body of the first victim, and already eight ^ have been found. Six of them were discovered in the Whitechapel district, the seventh at New Castle on Tyne, but the eighth, and that not a recent one, is found in a section not here- ~ tofnre invaded by this maniac, whose record " of mutilation and butchery appals a great metropolis, baffles the police and creates a Ai consternation in government circles. th Early Tuesday morning the body was found CI on the embankment of the Thames where ex the Grand Opera House was to be erected. The person who discovered the eighth victim recoiled in horror at the sight A headless trunk of a woman, mutilated and gashed beyond the conception of the most blood- i, ln-o- nn t.hn hank in an advanced state of decomposition. p The scene of the murder is, in the day time, p one of the busiest localities in London. Thou- p sands pass there at all hours of the day, ? hundreds of drays move in continuous pro- y cession, and many of the large business places of the city are located there. London is terror stricken as it has not been for a generation, and demands that some- ? thing be done. So suspicious-looking char- ~ I acters, and they can be found by the thou- ^ sands in the East End, are taken into cus- ~ tody in a blundering way, held for an hour ? or two until they can establish an alibi, and ~ then discharged. ? The curious disposition to connect the ^ I crimes with an American has been carried to au absurd extreme. "An American hat," "an American medical student," an American what notl Hordes of people rush to the dark, damp i quarters where the murders have been com- w< mitted, by day and night. The wanderers, , men and women, who have always been about those streets, are there yet, having cn aowhere else to go. Other people, drawn by curiosity, go to see?what if They sea be ?nothing. But now and again comes a new murder It happened, perhaps, while the ha erowd was still gaping about; yet no one saw , or knew of it, and the assassin has vanished ^ as completely as one of the grotesque shadow ~ figures made in the fog by the uncertain light from the street lamps. _ B< MORTON'S LETTER. ha K The Republican Nominee For VicePresident Accepts. . of i P Morton the Renublican nomi- nf nee for the Vice Presidency of the United States, has issued his letter of acceptance. He 13 Bays that the resolutions adopted at the Chicago Co lvention, unequivocal and comprehen. ac rive in character, rtfl ct his personal convic- cj< tions and have his hearty approval. The controling issue in the campaign,he says,is the ouestion as to "whether the protective tariff W( duties now in force shal be so reduced as to destroy their e.'Iiciency or whether these dutes sh-ill be retained, with sach modifica- j ?. tions and adjustments as shall better adapt them to the great end of protecting the vast and important industries of the whole couu- M try.'' be "The Republican platform," Mr. Morton continues, "while recognizing the necessity a of reducing the revenue, declares that this 11 reduction must not tie made at the expense of these industries and of American labor." After ascribing the present prosperity of m the country to the operation of protective jei tariffs Mr. Morton says: "The pressing reason given for once again trying the old experi- _ ment of a revenue tariff without protect.on ,J as a. motive or end is that the present CJ tariff has produced or is producing a surplus in the Tre-.sury. But it is not easily within the wisdom of Congress to fe adjust the national income to the li? national expenditure without sacrificing or fit even imperilling an indu trial system which has brought untold advantage to the country. e<j Admitting that the present tariff by lapse | in of timo and the large expansion of trade | w which it has stimulated needs revision, is it j ! not wiser and more patriotic to revise it with ! a careful regard to the interests of protection " tlian with the purpose ol' lessening its pro- ~v tective features; 811 "The industrial system of a country is as sensitive as it-s public credit. A hostile move- & ment creates distrust in the public mind, and ce confidence, the only basis of successful trade, becomes impaired. New enterprises wither 2, in the bud, capital grows timid, the field of labor is contracted, and pressure f or employ- st ment inevitably reduces the wages of all ct working men " n( Acain express ng himself in hearty accord d? with the declarations of the National lie- b< publican platform Mr. Morton mentions espe; iallj7 the questions of silver, the settie- | D, ment of the public lands, better coast de- ?j femes and the duty owed to the shipping interests of the country. He de- p( clares that the Kepublican plat- ?c form proposes a distinctly American policy and says that the American people, "with no spirit of narrowness toward other f1 peop'e, but rnther in the highest interest of all. should find under their own flag a field of P1 limit!e>s advance in the direction of the improvement, the prosperity and the happiness a of man." PILLORY AND LASH. Ten Colored M'-n and Si\ Whites Whipped in Delaware. ti The whippings :<t New Castlo (Del.) jnil a j few days since were remarkable for the number of victims, the heavy penalties, and the ? number of lashes, laid on. Not f jr many years have such a large number been marie ? to "hug the post" in one day. There were ten colored victims and seven whites. One c man got forty lashes, four twenty lashes, nine ten lashes, an 1 three five lashes. In all there were 225 blows struck, an average of over 13 blows. In add tion to the whippings five men were ? compelled to stand for an hour in the pil- | lorv. "Sugar Awful," one of the colored p men, was whipped f or the sixth time with n eight years, lie has been a thief fortwolve ,.A years, and has been before the Chief Justice eight times.

I si i to The President Sends a Message to A ,k- Congress Relative to the Bill. Y lifl The President has S9nt to Congress his apier Proval ?' the Chinese Exclusion bill, accom- 81 panied by reasons therefor in a special mes0f sage, and the suggestion that a joint reeola- j, tion be passed allowing the admission of such 'er Chinamen as are now on their way to this 00 country. A The bill, which was introduced in the to- House by Congressman Scott, forbids the g ms admission of Chinese into this country, whether for business or for the purpose of 1i8. travel. It revokes all permits heretofore A ok granted by which Chinese laborers on a visit to their native land are allowed to return. The bill was passed both in the House and T ,h Senate by substantial majorities, but final action was long delayed by the Senate | v owinc to some doubt as to whether j v or China had reiected the treaty by which >n. some of the benefits of the treaty were secured. I ive In his message to Congress the President ler says: "The experiment of blending the social g habits and mutual race idiosyncracies of the ng Chinese laboring classes with those of the * an great body of the people of the United States B has been proyed by the experience of twenty years, and ever since the Burlingame treaty of 18ii8, to be in every sense unwise, impolitic T and injurious to both nations." After tracing the history of negotiations -he with China, the President continues: t i1 '*The admitted and paramount right and duty of every government to exclude from jx- its borders ail elements of foreign population ou which for any reason retard its prosperity or Jl. are detrimental to the moral and physical a health of its people, must be regarded as a ( recognized canon of international law and jnp intercourse. "China herself has not dissented from this ' doctrine but has. by the expressions to which pla 3re I have referred, led us confidently to rely j upon such action on her part in co-operation . , tlu with us as would enforce the exclusion of u 1 Chinese laborers from our country. j at "Tliis co-operation has not, however, been jn ill- accorded us. Thus from the unexpected and led disappointinz refusal of the Chiuese Govern- j mens to confirm the acts of its authorized she re, agent, and to carry into effect an inter- , national .agreement, the main feature of [jg which was voluntarily presented by that PU1 government for our acceptance, and which j 12 had been the subject of long and careful de- -w A liberation, an emergency has arisen, in which the government of the United States 1 is called upon to act in self-defenc by the ex- has A# 5fo lam'clof.ivA nnwpr " .

I - ? flig EDISON'S BEMEDY. ~ ??! \l A WO >'.( How The Great Inventor Would "0 Destroy Yellow Fever Germs. ?] ):-j Mr. Thomas A. Edison thinks he has dis- rec $2 covered a remedy for the destruction of yel- his ^ low fever germs. His experiences have been 4 with familiar and cheap substances in use as mu >g disinfectants. "Mv experiments," says Mr. kit k( Edison in a recent conversation with a New Pot )2 York Herald man. "have been purely senti- i jo mental, and from the results obtained I ftf feel confident that I have at last found a P*e ;3 means of stamping out the fever germs. I hir *2 am convinced that the fever germs must be Idt fcj either of two things?animal organization or fungus growth, it ia not due to gases, or ' the whole of a district would be affected at los once." wh Mr. Edison then explains the virtues of jg < gasolene and rhingolene in the destruction of tea germs by the production of cold, and pro J ceeds: , cas jn . * 'Gasolene has the peculiar property also of va? displacing the water in all organic matter, I . causing it to perish. But as gasolene is easily absorbed by wet ground nnd would probably ' ^ fail in a measure to do its work, I have dis- hai L50 covered that caustic soda will answer the pur- cr; pose in these instances. Microbes being or- J. ed ganic must contain certain fatty acid, and irk caustic acid will saponify anything contain- ] ing fatty acid So, in the wet places, I would tis< ta liberally sprinkle caustic soda, which could 1C(. be done at a very small cost with the aid of a P street sprinkler. The houses and dry places 801 could be protected with gasolene. Th ien "Our experiments with microbes have been \ ibe encouragingly successful, and not havingauy Bu of the yellow fever germs to work upon we \ em can only draw our conclusions by analogy." ied j j* BUSINESS FAILUEES. ?'r' las 3ss More in the Third Quarter of 1888 j da ng Than in the Same Time Last Year, j , {b The business failures occurring throughout j the United States for the tnira quarter <ji ; iq the year completed amount in number to [ it ew 23.'?1, with liabilities of a trifle over $22,000,- i ri?
