By Telsgraph to the Newt and OMerver.
WiBHisaTOir, D. 0. 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to be repealed.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

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

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

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.

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.

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. !

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.

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.-'
