PERSIA'S MINISTER, !
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. .
Mutsu, the Japanese representative. His
costume was hidden by a heavy cashmere
robe, which glistened with jewels and the e
various insi^u'a of his rank.
When President Cleveland ent red the r
room the Persian prostrated himself before c
him. Then followed a p rfonnance com- r
mon enough in the Orient, but never before t
witnessed Ura Before a hand could be raised
to prevent him, the Minister bumped his 1
head gravely three times against tho floor, i
and then, as if san>fled thnt he had done the
proper til ng, he htraisrhten"d himself up and t
awaited the President's pleasura For a *
moment tho two nun?the Chief Magistrate ?

sentativb of the nc.uut Eastern despotism?

Then the Oiiental representative spoke. (
His address w;is delivered in the Persian
tongue. At tho conclusion of the Minister's
address the President bowed low and reipondod.

The Most Horrible Series of
Crimes of Modern Times. 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 ~

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. The Court that sentenced him
th;s time will probably not have another op- o
portunftv, inasmuch as it is hardly lito-ly, in
the general order of things, that they will ol
live until "Awful" serves his term of ten
years. It

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

government for our acceptance, and which j

The President concludes by recommending *
to bq approptiatioa of $276,619.75, to be turned 1
OR over to the Chinese minister at Washington tuc
lai as an indemnity to his government for losses wej

EDISON'S BEMEDY. ~ ??!

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."
