Oct 1 Sxhatx.- The Senate at 12 30 resumed oonaid ' eration of. Mr. Hale's resolution on General Benet's circular as to dis charges from arsenals and armories, and Air. Teller opened discussion upon it. The debate which followed was participated in by Messrs. Teller, Salisbury, Stewart and Dawes. Ia its course Mr. Salisbury remarked that he had not much respect for civil service ; reform. He believed that the party in power ought to see that its agents were men of capacity, of integrity, of honesty and fidelity. That was the kind of civil serrioe tht he believed in. If he had the power he would repeal the civil ser vice statute, and revoke every order made under it. Mr. Dawes said the revelations of the debate upon the pending resolu tion (as to political favoritism and corruption) ' were but by the fulfil- ment of prophecy. When the civil servioe law was un der discussion in the Senate the very evils were foretold of it which had been unfolded under the present ad ministration. It was not easy to work a oure of an evil that waa cura ble only by conversion. The mire into which the civil servioe law could be dragged was to be measured only by the disposition of those who were (for the time being) clothed with the pow ers of its administration. So it had been thought. So it had been put on record when the law was under discussion, and so it had proved in' the first administration called upon to execute it- Mr. Stewart said he had come to the conclusion that the civil service law was a bad one, and that it ought to be repealed. It was a law to pro mote duplicity, and a lying law, the very execution of which would breed a' race of rascals. Under it there was no responsibility anywhere. He knew of no better class of men to hold re sponsible for good appointments than members end i Senators, who made recommendations under the old svs tern. He thought that an act of ob livion ought to be passed at the pres ent session of Oongress and the old system resorted to, so that the respon sibility for appointments might be fix ed. So long as the civil service law ex isted there would be aoandal nndee any administration.. The resolution was then agreed to without division. As adopted it directs tha Secretary of War to traaamit full information as to Gen. Benet's order what neces sities of the War Department re quired such order, why it was marked "UonfldenUal all changes of em ployees made under it in arsenals and. armories, especially whether at the, Bock Island ' Arsenal the wife and children of a former Union soldier were removed," and what me ores, if any, were taken to learn the political opinions of women and children; also directing the Secretary of War to transmit eoDies of anv further orders Or eircu? lars relating to the appointment of persons in any 1 part of the War Dei partment sinoe' the fourth of March. 1885, with copies of any corresponds ence relating to the politics of em ployees i . . - The bill adjusting the salaries of fourth-class ! postmasters waa then passed, after being amended so as to take effect July .1, 1889. The Senate bill for the donation of Fort Brooke military reservation at Tampa, Fla , for free schools was, on motion of Mr; Call, taken from the: calendar and discussed. During the discussion, Mr. Ed munds moved that when the Senate adjourn today it be till Monday next. Mr. Blair appealed to the Senate not to agree to that motion bat de vote at least tomorrow to public busi ness, as on : Monday debate on the" tariff bill would begin, and after that there would be no likelihood of hav ing other business attended to. He considered the proposed adjournment a "trilling with pabue interests. On; division, there were twenty Senators' voting "Aye," and Mr. Blair then de manded the yeas and nays. Mr. Harris notified Mr. Blair that if he persisted in that demand, and if the absence of a quorum should be revealed ne (Harris) would require a voting quorum on every matter of business that might come np here after. j Mr. Dawes Do I understand that to be a threat that unless the Senate adjourn over till Monday no business can be done T Mr. Harris My statement was that if the Senator from New Hampshire insists on a further count and' devel ops the absenoe of a quorum I wiH be here and see that no business! ii done without a quorum. After farther discussion, in which Mr. Blair complained of being made a " poor dog Tray" in the mat ter, a vote was taken by yeas and navs. and the motion to ad journ over was agreed to yeas 34 nays iu, tne nays oemg jaesarB. uiauy Call. Chandler. Dawes, Hoar, Mitch ell, Sawyer, Stockbridge, Vanee and Yoorhees. The discussion of the Tampa bill was then continued for ait hour, when the bill was passed. lne majority and minority report on the tarur bill (as well as Air Beck's views) were presented and ordered printed. 1 A furtner conference was ordered on the deficiency bjlL and Messrs; Allison and Oockrell were re-appointed conferees. ' I After a short executive session, thi Senate, at t:35, adjourned till Mon day.- . . ' - . Hoosav Mr. Dunn, of Arkansas, asked nnan imdus consent for the immediate con sideration of the Senate bill to incor porate the Maritime Canal Company of Nicaragua. 1 - 4 iMx. .Barnes,., of Missouri, then called up the conference report on thi general deficiency appropriation; bill. Mr. Barnes called attention to the amendment appropriating8,000 for the Industrial Christian Home Asso ciation of Utah, an association for the benefit of dependent women and chil dren who desire to sever their allegi anoe to the Mormon church. Mr. Morris, of Tennessee, objected, on the ground that the measure : was too important to be considered by auoh a omul I number of members as was now m attendance. j I 0"a ui )tu n A Mr. VandeviviT, of Calif rn n, tho. Sr cute bill woe pKSsed, provid :i.g tat the gecretary if the Treasury may p -rrait He use of pe troleum as fuel on Rteararrs without the oert(ficat of ih" nipt-; vjfos of the district where vckIb are t be used. The movement fot an adjournment met with an unexptctd ci ck in the afternoon, when Mr. B 'ckim-due, of Arkansas, reached the Capitol lie is now the ranking member of tLe wa a and means committee and at once set himself at work to oppose j adjournment.- He believes that by ar gument and persuasion be has suc ceeded in checking the movement so that while it was probable before his return that a resolution providing for an early adjournment would be intro duced today in the House the pros pects are now that it will be indefi nitely delayed. This brought on a long debate : po litical and devoted principally to the question of which party, had done most to suppress polygamy in Utah. Finally the conference report was re jected in order to enable the confer ence committee to change the lan guage providing for an. investigation of toe Washington aqueduct matter so as to enlarge the Scope of Inquiry. SMr. Breckinridge, of Ark., moved at when the House adjourned to day it be to meet Monday next. Mr. Moriran. of Miss cave notice that he would demand a quorum on the motion to adjourn over, and Mr. Ureckinridge thereupon withdrew it Mr. Allen, of Mississippi, served notice on Mr. Morgan that no bills could go through tomorrow without a quorum and then at A - o'clock! the House adjourned. I TBI TARIFf. T Majaritjr Baavr Upam ta ScMata WasbihotoKi D. 0 , October i The majority report upon the Senate tariff bill is a document of fifty print ed pages, exclusive of voluminous tabular appendices. The minority report makes twelve printed pages, or about 5,000 words, and Mr. Beck's statement embraces about one thou sand words.: The majority report declares that the demand for a care ful and thorough revision of our reve nue laws is imperative- - I First To reduoe the national reve nues, which are now excessive, j Second TO protect honest import ers and domestic producers from the disastrous consequences resulting from fraudulent undervaluations of imported merchandise On which ad valorem rates of duty are levied, j Third To remedy the defects and incongruities which have been from time to time discovered in the tariff schedule, or which have been' created by erroneous decisions of the Treas ury Department j FourthTo secure a proper re adjustment and equalization of tariff rates' rendered necessary by modified business conditions, improvements in methods of production, ! radical changes in prices, or by new elements or sources of competition. j fifth to give relief and protection to.many industries which are how suf fering on account of inadequate rates levied on competinir products. The majority expresses its convic tion of the inadequacy of the House bill as a remedial measure for the re a- sons: 1. That it would probably increase instead oi reancea toe revenue. 2i That it providee no remedy for undervaluations, but on the contrary, invites and gives immunity to fraud by substituting ad valorem for epe- eifia Jntia. nri .." : 3. That it does not remedv any! of the inequalities or anomalies, or cure any of the defects of the existing law. The minority, report says: The Bepublican majority of the commit tee not being willing to accept tne House bill as a basis of revision of the existing revenue laws and to or rect existing evils, decided to strike out all after the enacting clause and report an entirely new bill. in preparation of: this substitute no member of the minority of the committee waa consulted or informed as to its provisions until it was Ire ported to the full committee on the 25th of September, 1888. The chair man of the committee in May last Ap pointed a sab-committee to near such persons as wished to be heard upon the revenue question, and much tune has been consumed and thousands of pages have been printed of statements, arguments and appeals of manufac turers and others who demaand (hat th present high rate of tariff taxa tion shall be maintained and ' in most instances increased:; prompted, not by any revenue nesessities out alone for the purpose of increasing their own profits at the expense of sixty miluon tax-payers. It is safe tossy that all interests benefited by the hicrh protective tariff have been fullv heard and have had much influence in shaping this substitute, while the great body of the people, tax payers, and victims of this policy, have ; not appeared and hare not been heard.

TBI STATUS OT TBI HOUil THFSBOH THI QCKSTIOX AS BrTWXXH TEX FAS TIES OTHtt HSWS. By Telegrapi to the Hew and Obaerrer. Washington, Oct 4 While there hau been no formal conference among Democratic members of the House touching the advisability of adopting the adjournment resolution, there has been an exchange of private opinion upon the subject, the majority of the members holding the view that the tariff bill having been reported to the Senate there is no longer any reason why the House should not adopt the resolution and allow the Senate to act upon it one way or another. During the course of today or tomorrow it is probable that at conference" will be called iiru order -hat these private opinions may be cfystalized into for mal action. The obstacle in the way of the adjournment resolution in the House is a suspicion that such reso lution if passed might be rejected by the Senate and used as an argument to show that the Democrats fear to await the action of the Senate on the subject. I If some positive assurance can be obtained that the resolution if passed by the House will be adopted by the Senate there is little doubt that such action will be taken. The deficiency appropriation bill now before the House in the shape of a conference report must bo included in any calculation touching adjourn ment Several members, dissatisfied with the conference report, have threatened to raise the point of no quorum, but it is believed that they can be pacified. Bepresentative For ney, who is acting chairman of the appropriations committee, freely ex presses the opinion that Oongress will adjourn Tuesday, October 16 th, which date will allow of the disposition of the deficiency bill and of a fair open ing of the debate on the tariff bill in the Senate. Soon after the assembling of the Senate Speaker Carlisle and Bepre sentative Turner (the only members of the Ways and Means Committee now in Washington) came over from the House and entered into earnest conversation with several Democratic Senators, presumably on the subject or adjournment. aaiaaeaaatavwafawawaaMa-M ii apponrraiBum Fa Han.

C, Sept 1st, 1888. T. P. Dtvertux, Etq Kaleiah, N. C: 8m: I have just received a com munication from you, of which the following is a copy: "Baltics, N. C , 31 Aug., 1888. I). W. Rainy Etq., State Trtatuttr: "Dxab Srx: I enclose you an arti cle clipped from the Raleigh Signal of theOth instant which I presume to be true, but, as I propose to use it on the campaign, would like to have official assurance of its truth. I do not ask for private information, but only such as I um entitled to as a voter and tax-payer. (2). Will you also be kind enough to inform me of any other public fund, if any, that was deposited in the State National Bank at the time of its coilapseT Your reply to this before Tuesday of next week will greatly oblige me. Yours truly, T. r. DiYxxiTx. In the article to which yon allude certain funds and the amount thereof are stated as having been to my offi cial credit in the State National Bank at the time of its collapse." Pre suming that this is the point upon which you desire official assurance as to its truth, I proceed to give you an official statement of the amount on deposit to the credit of the State Treasurer in the State National Bank when its doors were closed the 26th, of March last end I state it as fol lows : General deposit $14,212.97 Cashier's check given on ac count of partial payment of tax by sheriffs $2,600 The general deposit above stated was the balance of a check for $30,000 on that bank, sent to me by the Treasurer of the Noith Car olina Bailroad Company, on ac count of dividends due the State by that company. As the funds had previously been deposited by the treasurer of the : company in that bank, the check was transferred to my credit as State Treasurer. This fond is used, under the law, only for the payment of the interest on the new six per cent State bonds, and a part of the fund having been drawn oat in exchange on New York. lor this purpose, the balance remained in the banc for the convenience of hold ers of bonds resident in this State, whose interest has invariably; been paid at this office. ! mi iL - l i i i . Aue i orwi uarouna xnsutuuon ior the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind, had $4,068.19 to its credit As Treas urer ex officio of the several charitable and penal institutions of the State, and the Agricultural Department I observe the custom long ago estab lished, of keeping j the fund in sev eral banks. No part of the Hatch" fund was in the State National Bank. The Treasurer of the State is not Treasurer, ex officio, of the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arte. By request of the ' executive commit tee of that Institution, I consented to act as treasurer, merely for the convenience of the public, and with out compensation. When I entered upon the duties of that office I found that the funds of the college were on deposit in the State National Bank. Thay were passed to my credit and the account was continued in that bank. The balance to the credit of this institution was $8,344.08. The foregoing statement embraces all the funds I had any connection with whatever in the State National Bank, and the amount ia much smaller than the deposits I had in other banks at the time. : In reply to the question marked 2 I cannot speak from personal knowl edge, but I have heard, as doubtless you have also, that the sheriff and treasurer of Wake oountv (both of whom are Republicans) and the peni tentiary authorities (not the Treasu rer) had deposits in that bank. . I presume these officers will give too all the information desired: They, like many of the successful business men of the State, and especially of this city, entrusted their funds to the safe-keeping of the. State national bank, thus showing their confidence in its solvency and management Among the creditors of this bank were the other national banks of this city, about whose wise and prudent management there is no question. I have repeatedly, before this, answered enquiries as to funds remaining to my credit in the State National Bank. You say that you propose to use the matter in the camnaign. l assure vou that I have no objection to your doing so, and ask, in fairness and in justice to me, that you read this entire communication whenever yon refer to the subiect I presume you are aware oi tne " a a fact that the creditors have received 20 per cent of their deposits. I have assurances that the larger proportion will be paid. i Very respectfully, D. W. Baxx, State Treasurer. A Ovcrdpa Staaaaar SaTa. Br Cable to be Hewi and Observer.

A PaHfcet Carnival t Blad la fft WerlaVs 11 aThe Pailea Spp- raUy Paralraa. Copyright Cablegram to New Tork Ttma. Loxnox, Oct 2 The carnival of blood continues. It is an extremely strange state of affairs altogether, be cause before the Whitechapel mur ders began several paperi called it ten tion to the fact that there hare been more sanguinary crimes commit ted in London and its vicinity this summer than ever before known iin this city in the same space of time. The Whitechapel assassin has how murdered six victims and crimes oc our daily, but pass unnoticed in view of the master murderer's work in the East end. . Last Friday a man in PimlioO sharpened a knife in the presence of bis wife, threatening her all the time, and then cut off her head with, it This rather dramatic crime passed off Without particular notice, the papers giving it only a brief paragraph. This afternoon, however, a diacoTery was made which was even more hor rible then any of the recent deeds. . A few days ago the right arm oi la woman was found by some boys in the Thames near Waterloo Bridge. U belonged to a young woman, ras plump, shapely and graoeful, and had been rudely hacked from the shoul der. It was believed at first to be evidence of another murder, but" M no young woman had been murdered so far as known, the theory that It was a specimen from a dissecting room was generally adopted. ' Last week, however, another arm, corres ponding with it, was found in a yard behind the asylum in South wark, half a mile from Waterloo Bridge. The police took immediate posses sion of it end refused absolutely either to give any information con cerning its appearance, lor to say whether it pointed to a fresh crime. The boys who found it said it was a well-preserved human arm, scarred and excoriated in many places, as if from the action of quUVime. The police refused to say yes Vr no to this, but hinted or said that .it was all a mistake, and that the thing found was merely the old skeleton of an arm with no flesh on it ' ! j. This afternoon, however, a disoorr ery was made in Pimlioo, a mile up the river from where the arm was found, which throws some light on the mystery. There are some old buildings on the embankment, close to the Parliament House, and almost in the shadow of Westminster Abbey, and workmen are engaged in tearing these down to prepare a aite for the new polios station. As they destroyed an old vr.ult today they came upon j a shapeless mass, which, upon inspec tion, proved to be the trunk of the body of a young woman, perhaps 80 years old. The horribly mutilated' head, arms, and legsr had been eat off and carried away, only the trunk being left The body was not ripped, however, as in the Whitechapel eases It was very much decomposed, and In fact must hare been there ; many weeks. The polios removed it to A mortuary, and tomorrow morning the doctors will adjust the arms beside is, to see if they fit It is now admitted by the polios that the second ana found matched the first one. Should the arms belong to the body they may serve ax a elue. They seem in a thach better state of preservation than "the body, however, and, should 3 they not fit they will stand as evidence of i a second horrible crime yet unrepealed There is no clue to the identity of the murdered woman; in fact so' many people disappear daily in thiX'great city that the record of disappearances will not be Of much assistance.-' ftiia Minu. ainorl nr tAnh-la.a. it may be, has no connection wi IhJt Whitechapel murders. - Its method is different in every possible respect, and should it prove to be twa ma dere instead of one it will show jan independent operation of the White chapel nature. ; Pimlioo is two miles from W hitechapeL The master mur derer of the latter district has done aB his work in one small' area,1 and. there is no clue wnaiever to nun- Tonight a crazy - man, ' With blood stains on his coat, who was flourishing a a surgical xmves ana maxing a general BTeotacle of himself in Milk street tat the city, was arrested, but he proves to be innocent Another suspect arrested at COingfovd, Effing Forest,' today, bat be easily proved an alibi.
