Consular and Diplomatic Appropriation Biil Reported in the Senate Debate on the Copyright Bill-The Legislative Ap propriation Bill Considered in the House. Vy Telegraph to the Morning Star. SENATE. Washington-, Feb. 13. Consular and Diplomatic Appropriation bill reported with amendments and placed on the cal endar, Mr. Hale giving; notice that he would ask for consideration to-morrow. Mr. Jones, of Nevada, from the Com mittee on Contingent Expenses, re ported a resolution, which was agreed to. authorizing the Committee on Naval Affairs to sit during the coming recess for the purpose of considering various bills before it relative to the personel of the Navy, etc. The Senate resumed consideration of the Copyright bill, the pending question being on Sherman's amendment to strike out the word "prohibited," and insert the words "subject to duties provided by law;" so that foreign editions of books, etc., which are copyrighted in the 1". S. may be admitted to this country on payment of the regular tariff duties. Mr. Piatt, who has charge of the bill, said that the friends of the Copyright would recognize the fact that passage ot the bill was imperilled by trie amend ment already agreed to, and that further amendment to it would probably defeat its passage at this session. Mr. Reagan spoke oh the subject of the amendment ot which he had given notice yesterday, and said that, while rie favored an international copyright. the pending bill was a mere sup plement to the protective tariff. The effect of its passage would be to increase the cost of books and put restrictions on iKibhcations and a tax on knowledge. Mr. Vance did not know that he would have had the temerity to oppose the pending bill if it had not been that in the course of debate and of votes he had thought that he ' discovered an old acquaintance. He thought that he felt the hair of his friend protectionist E-isau although the voice was that of Tree-trade Jacob. Being emboldened by tatt recognition of an old acquaintance, he expressed himself and his fortunes. hke the lady in the play who on leaving the room said. "I bid you good-bye. la dies, and leave my character with you" to the combined hostilities of authprs ot literature of the two leading nations of civilization. He would rather be the means of placing a cheap book (a book printed and published and sold cheap) in the hands of one poor ambitious bov that would stimulate him to greater ex--ertions, than of placing a million dol lars in the pockets of the Harpers by the passage of the copyright bill. The scheme to make a man pay a dollar for a book which he could now get for fifty cents was quite as dishonest as the scheme to appropriate the work of an other man s bram. It was as dis honest a scheme as had ever been manufactured by a publisher in publish ing books without authority. If he could he would repeal the tariff duty on books, and would allow all books to come in freely. Going on to speak against the bill, Mr. Vance declared tnat when it was simmered down it would be found to be simply in the in terest of American publishers. That was the sum and substance ot it. He was opposed to it in principle out and out. Finally a vote was reached on Mr. Saerman's amendment, and it was agreed to. Yeas 25, nays 24. The Copyright bilf was then laid aside without further action. The President's message, announcing the death of Admiral Porter was laid before the Senate and the remainder of me atternoon was devoted-to eulogistic speeches upon his life. The speakers were Messrs. Chandler, McPherson and Hale. The Senate then adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. On motion of Mr. McMillen, of Ten nessee, the Senate amendment was non concurred in to the House bill to estab lish the customs district of Tennessee. The House then went into Commit tee of the Whole on the Legislative Appropriation bill. The Civil Service Commission paragraph was under con sideration and debate was limited to three hours. Mr. Cannon moved an amendment providing for a secretary and steno grapher at S1.600 each. This hp sairl would con ply with the terras of the or ganic law. Then followed a lively de bate in which Messrs. Cannon and Gros ve nor led the attack upon the Civil Ser vice Commission, and Messrs. Butter worth and Lodge were the principal champions. Mr. Dingley. moved th amend Mr. Cannon's amendment by inserting a provision appropriating 36,400 to en able the commission to execute the pro visions of the Civil Service act. Mr. Cannon called attention to the fact that this would merely be a contin gent fund and would not enable the commission to employ clerks. The amendment was agreed to, and Mr. Can non's amendment as amended was adopted. The committee then rose and report ed the bill to the House. The first ques tion was an amendment providing for clerks to members not chairmen of com mittees. The amendment was defeated yeas 72, nays 146 and the Speaker, in announcing the result, declared that the committee amendment was disagreed to by the House. The bill was then passed. The President's message, announcing the death of Admiral Porter was read and referred to the Committee on Naval Affairs, and then the House adjourned. CHILI'S REVOLUTION.

Another Mysterious Murder in the "Whiter Chapel District of London A Woman the Viotim. Bv Cable to the Morning Star. London, February 13. Particulars in regard to a woman who was found dead in the White Chapel district this morn ing and who is supposed to have been murdered by the fiend known as "Jack the Ripper," show that she is about 25 years of age, and quite good looking for a woman of her class. She was found lying on her back with her head nearly severedvfrom her body. There was also a severe cut on the -.back of her head. caused, it is thought, by the severe fall she experienced when her assailant knocked her down. The scene of this, possibly the lastest of a series of "Jack the Ripper's" crimes, is a dark narrow archway, known as "Swallow's Gardens," and leading from Little Mint street to Chambers street. The archway referred to is, during busy hours, a well frequented thoroughfare, especially used by railway employes and stablemen in passing to and from their residences in and about that packed neighborhood to work on numerous lines of railroads or in the many stables scattered about that section of the city. At all time of night there are people awake in the houses and pedestrians passing about and through "Swallow's Gardens", but nobody seems to have heard any cries of any alarming nature during the early hours this morning, when the crime was committed. The murdered woman, judging from appearances, belonged to the abandoned class of females, and was fairly well dressed. Though her hair was untidy not been disarranged. The police theory is that the woman was murdered while in a standing posi tion; that the crime was probably the work of "Jack the Ripper," and that the murderer was frightened away by the approach of some person before he had time-to mutilate the body in the manner already described in previous crimes attributed to "Jack the Ripper.'" On the other hand it is known that resi dents of White Chapel in particular, and of London in general, are prone to give credit to "Jack the Ripper" for any murder or attempt at murder in White Chapel, when a woman is concerned. Large crowds of people naturally gathered around "Swallows Gardens" this morning. In spite of the efforts of scores of detectives and of u-niformed and plain clothes police of the division, there seems to be, as in so Thany other and similar cases, no definite clue to the murderer. No arrests were made. A railroad employe, it is true, says he saw the murdered woman talking to a man, apparently a foreign seaman just previous to the time the murder is sup posed to have been committed, and the police are now 1 1 O rA r rnr nrl rrH i ri cai t-o ri i t-i fx oil engaged vessels lyin l(T' in thp -1 horrific nr in many docks and about the part of London. The police who tound the woman reach ed the spot while the murderer was only a few yards away. The victim's lips were still twitching nervously and her eyes winking, when the officerbent over her, and a moment later sounded his whistle in a call for assistance, which must have placed any policeman in the neighbor hood on the alert. ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE. A Break in the Banks of the Eepublicans. By Telegraph to the Morging Star. Springfield, III., Feb. 13. The Republican party went to pieces in the joint assembly to-day. The Republican steering committee, when roll call was ordered for the first ballot, attempted to spring a little sur prise. Instead of continuing for Lindley, the mandate was silently circulated that the President of the F. M. B. A. should be dropped and the name of Richard J. Oglesby, regular party nominee, substi tuted. Manv Republicans who had not been consulted in the proposed change of programme repudiated the mandate of the steering committee and voted their individual preferences. The bal lot, resulted as follows: Palmer, 101; Oglesby, 81, Lindley, 16; Stelle, 2; L. C. Hibbard, 1; C. B. Farwell, 1; M. W. Mathtews, 1; and P. H. Connelly, 1. On the 8Gth ballot, the Republicans all came into line for Lindley and the yote was as follows: Palmer, 101; Lind ley, 100; Steele, 2; Hubbard, 1, The subsequent ballots to the 93rd were without material changes. CHICAGO REVIEW. Fluctuations in Prices of Grain and Provisions. By Telegraph to the Morning Stai Chicago, Feb. 13. The wheat mar ket averaged strong and prices closed higher. The opening price of May wheat was 97c. Later it advanced to 98c. The price of May gradually sagged to 98t98c and closed in theneighbor hood of 98c. There was very light business. The corn market was ins sympathy with the advance in wheat and closed at c advance upon yesterday's closing quotations. Oats The market was active early with prices advancing under buying by Hutchinson, but later he turned seller, causing a reaction and a quiet market for the remainder of the session. The short interest in May rye caused another sharp advance in that cereal. First sales of provisions showed some improvement over yesterday's closing quotations at an advance in pork of 10c over the opening figures. Sellers were more numerous. Lard and ribs followed the course of pork, the former closing with a gain for the day of 7c, and the latter of 5c. ADMIRAL PORTER. His Sudden Death at Washington Yester day Morning. Bv Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, Feb. 13. Admiral Porter died suddenly at 8.15 o'clock this morning at his residence. No. 1714 H. street.

An Improvement Noted in Trade and the Peeling More Confident as Shown by Dun's Review. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, Feb. 13. There is some improvement in business at the East and more confident feeling, and at Chi cago the tone is. very hopeful. But at most Western and nearly all Southern points business shows no increase in volume and is rather hesitating. Pay ments through all cleariug houses for January show scarcely any increase over last year; although yearly and quar terly disbursements on account of pre vious business were very much larger than a year ago, and returns for Febru ary thus far exhibit substantially the same situation. The industrial outlook is modified by the great strike of the Connellsville coke workers which mbst cut off large supplies of iron if it lasts. The market for dress goods is particu, larly active, agents looking forward to a time of extraordinary prosperity. But orders for heavy goods are scanty, and clothiers, remembering the heavy loss of the past winters, are buying with great caution. Trade in cotton goods is fair in volume and print cloths are a shade stronger in and shoe trades provement as to prices obtained satisfactory. Sugar price. 1 he Doot show sound im- volume, though are not highly refiners are busy with ample orders for future delivery, though the present trade is naturally light. The grocery trade is fairly active and indicates no decrease in demand for consumption. Throughout the country the money markets are comparatively easy and un disturbed, though the demand is good and the supply hardly adequate. At Cleveland and at Omaha the market is close. Business failures throughout the country during the last seven days num ber for the United States 202; Canada 35. For the corresponding week last vear the figures were 240 in the United States and 62 in. Canada. THE WHISKEY TRUST. Further Developments in the Conspiracy Case Against Gibson. By Telegraph to the Morning star. Chicago, rebruary 13. it appears that the face value of the whiskey trust certificates which Gibson had in his satchel was $30,000, the market value o which, is about 15,000. which tallies with the amount that De War says Gib son promised him. lhis morning at torney William Barry, of counsel fo Gibson, appeared before Judge Blodgett with District Attorney Muchnst, and asked permission to examine the pack age said to have been delivered by Gib son to De W ar and supposed to contain explosives with which Shufeldt s distil lery was to have been blown up. Judge Blodgett gave the required au thority and Barry and Muchnst, with Inspector Summerell, Sergeant Brooks, Marshal Hitchcock and Captain Stu art. made the investigation. The package is about a foot long and six inches wide, and six inches thick, and was carefully sealed. A pint bottle full of a light bluish fluid was discovered. Its principal ingredient was phosphorus and it proved rather troublesome lrom its tendency to set fire to everything it touched, and from the suffocating fumes it raised. uur purpose in making the experi ment, said Mulchrist, was to find out if the fluid was the same that was in the bottle which Gibson gave to De War and such it proved to be. Milchrist said the result of the experiment is to fasten the chain of evidence securely around Gib son, and make it possible to indict him for attempted arson. THE WORLD'S FAIR. The Work of GradingInterrupted Strikers. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. by Chicago, Feb. 13. The , work of grading on Jackson park in preparation for the World's Fair is at a standstill. Late yesterday afternoon a lot of idle workmen finding that they were unable to induce Italians who were at work to strike for an advance in wages, attacked them and drove tfiem out of the park with kicks and cuffs. This morning a cjowd ot idlers gathered in the park to the number of 700 or more, and main tained such a threatening attitude to ward the Italians that the contractors thought it best not to attempt to re sume operations. Some union carpen ters engaged in building orhces and sta bles were not molested. Contractors say they will wait till they secure tele phone connections with thejpolice de partment when they will resume work, and if interfered with will demand pro tection. GAY GOULD.

What He Has to Say in Regard to Wat- teraon's Letter. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. New York, Feb. 13. Governor Hill, who is stopping at the hotelJNormandie, was shown Watterson's second letter this afternoon, and asked what, if any thing, he had to say about it. "I have only this to add, "said theJGovernor, "Mr Watterson now, affirms that thelatter felt to be offensive, in defence of me, and in the nature and role assigned to me, was in fact written by him, and in fact writ ten at the time of its date. My reasons lor believing the letter a lorgery were these. First, I had never read it. Sec ond, I thought Kentucky good manners would have required my receipt of a let ter and my assent before its publication. Third, it says the writer never held office, and I remembered Mr. Wat terson's brilliant career in Congress. I do not seek to fathom Watterson's motives and accept whatever explana tion he offers.
