THE BOOK -TREATO ATTOUB WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 18881. t THE DAILY V11GUS JOHN W. POTTER. Wednesday, January 28. 1889. The United States navy will aoon be in a condition to compete with that of any nation, unless the republican adtniolstra Hon and congress again adopt the policy by which in twenty four years they auc ceedcd in destroying it, while spending millions of dollars with favored contracts ors. The house committee on naval af fairs has Just completed the navel appro priation bill, which amounts to $20,000, 000. The bill authorizes the construction of a dynamite cruiser on the pattern of the Vesuvius, which on iis recent trial trip attained the greatest speed of any vessel afloat, and a 8.600 ton cruising monitor on the plans prepared by Repre nonUtlve Thomas, of Illinois. Oakota as Two fotatea. From tho Chicago Time. The effort o( a territory to come into the union with four United States sen a tors is such au fr.jrt as could only be made in the name or a political party whose creed begins and ends: "The land belongs to Uiti salats. We are the saints." In three great ran vasxes 1884, 1886. 1888 the nmionnl republicans have worked the Dxkota business. It began with the Sioux Fulls convention of 1883 which demanded the admission of the southern htlf of the territory with the undiminished nnme of Dakota, leaving congress to provide a territorial form of government and a name for the northern half. That proposition not being enter tained at Washington, the popular cry went forth in the campaign of 1884 that the democrats wi re "keeping Dakota out of the union. lie then IStnator Harri son, of Indiana, whs among the vigorous ones to set it forth to the people that the democrats were "keeping Dakota out Of the union." Two ex-federal officials of the United State. Moody and Edgerton appeared at ashington as titular sen ators of Ditkota. According the pnvi leges of the floor by the United States senate, they proceeded to warm them selves on the senile sofas and to cool their heels elsewhere In due time Moody and Edgerton tired of their job and re turned to the nosom of their constituents Tho game of Dakota for the southern half of Dakota had not worked, and was not apparently destined to work. Then a convention was held at Huron, pretending toclnini less but ren!ly claim ing more. It dripped the whole of the title of Dakota titiil would be content that the name be divided between South Dakota and lorth D;ikot. Upon this modest pretense "division and admis sion' was demanded at onre, and a state government for South Dakota was set up under Gov. Mellette, which for a time threatened to declare war upon the Unit ed States. That war did not eventuate, but still it was urged by every republican orator that the democrats were "keeping Dakota nut of the union." That portion of D tkota which most iorously proclaims iiself as being kept out of the union (Smth. DKota) is now apparently the least populous, prosper ous. or progressive half of the territory The north Dakotitns they of Fargo, and Grand Forks, and Bismarck are not overwhelming in favor of division, but are in favor of admission. Therefore the remaining powder in the south Dakota magazine must be used for all it is worth, and is being used in a final attempt to keep up a show. The south Dtkotians, who once elm rued all, now only claim precedent over north Dtkota. The north Dakotians, who were once to he relegated to the selection of some other name for their puta'ive territory or state, are now preparinejthemselvegto 'claim everything ' ine territorial bills will certain! v fail at this session of congress, and will be a thorn in the side of the flm congress to assemble under President Harrison. The two uaKoias uavb already become one too many. It is doubtless true that Vermont, with 830,000 population, heartily seconds the idea of four United States senators for two states of Dakota, hut that New York with 8.000,000 and Pennsylvania with 4.000,000 and Illinois with 3 500.000 should agree to such a liberal spread of senatorial honors is surpassing strange. Neither the territorial area nor the popu lation nor the promise of population can warrant the South Dakota claim for "division and admission." If its counter part claim should be set up by the Pan handle of Texas the state of Farwell, for instance such a cry of pain would be raised as would shake all the republi can presses and pulpits in the land from Bangor to Yankton, and virtuous repub lican senators would hasten to assure the country that such a division of Texas must not be entertained. And yet Texas is believed to have the Inherent r!ght to create four additional states within Itself by its treaty of annex ation. The Texas politician, however, who should seriously propose to divide that great state would most likely be killed on the spot and buried without a monument VERY WARLIKE PRCPARATIONS.

Washi.vctox City, Jan. 2.'! The senate concluded its long talk on the tariff measure at about Hp. ut yesterday with its passage hy a strictly partisan vote. The consid eration was begun wtth a speech on the general subject of tariff by Morrill. He had sought the floor, he said, main ly for the purose of preservinit the symmetry of the Republican record in relation to its '' ncHun on flirt TJtrirT 8ENATOK MORRILL. He criticised the course- of Democratic senators in opposition to the bill, who had assaultt-1 it, he wnd, by a chorus of vituperative epithnta as haish to thH ear as the discordant tones of a calitliiinipian concert He was persuaded, however, that the American people, prosicroiis as they would be under the con tinuanee of a fair and reasonable protective policy, with a reasonable reduction of rev. enue, would be abl to appris-inte the fnert that it was "a condition and not a theory" that now most troubled, his Democratic friends. He euuiuerated the various tariff reductions made by the Republican party as sufficient evidence that the Republicans, so loni? as they held legislative power, were neither idle nor Inattentive to any proper re ductions of the war tariff end of tho public revenue. liie Mills bill was an nlmudnitinent of protection.

Sherman offered a proviso, which was apreed to. that the duty on fith fish shall not apply to fish caught by citizens of the L nited States on the high seas or in the open waters of the lakes forming a boundary be tween the United States and Canada. Numerous amendments were reriorted from the finance committee and ngreed to, among them the following: Amending the proviso to paragraph 152, so as to make it read ' That all iron or steel wire valued at more than 5 cents per pound instead of 10 cents shall pay a auty oi not less man : per cent, ad valorem;' increasing the rate on sheep and e. wt skins from 20 to 5 per cent ad valorem, and a long paragraph increasing the rate on stock ings, shirts and drawers, of cotton or other vegetable filter. Just here the vote began to break un a lit tle, more Republicans voting against their colleagues and similarly more Democrats vot ing against theirs. Brown moved to make the rate on cleaned rice 2 cents per pound; on uurlaned rice. 1 4' cents; on paddy, 1 cent, and on broken ri-e, or rice flour, 20 jer ad valorem. This was re jected, but on tho vote Cameron, Mitchell, Plumb, and Quay voted with the Democrats, and Bate. Berry, Blodgeft, Cockerell, Coke. Faulkner, Harris, Jones of Arkansas, Reagan, Turpie, Vest, and Walthal with the Repub licans. The paragraph was finally amended by making the rates l1, 1, and V cents Plumb offered an additional paragraph to the silk schedule as follows: '"Silk, raw or a. reeled from the cocoon, but not doubled, twisted, or advanced in manufacture in any way, and silk waste, 2-" per cent, ail valorem.'' This was also rejected, and the Republican senators voting aye were Blair. Dawes, Dolph, Hoar, Inpalls, Manderson, Mitchell, Paddock, Plumb, Quay, Stewart, nnd Teller The Democratic senators who voted no were Bate, Blackburn, Blodgett, Brown, Cockrell, Cloquitt, Eustis, Faulkner, Gorman, Gray,' Harris, Jones of Arkansas, Turpie, Vance, Vest, Walthall, and Wilson of Maryland. Dawes, who had originally aye, changed his vote to no; but on his colleague, Hoar, voting aye, Dawes again changed his vote to aye. Plumb moved to insert an additional par agraph creating and establishing in the treas ury department a commission to be known as the customs commission. Agreed to without a division. It provides for the appointment by the president (with the advice and consent of the senate) of five commissioners, to hold office two, three, four, five and six years, re spectively; not more than three of them to he of the nnme political party. The salary is to be C7,SI0 jer annum. The permanent ofllee of the commission is to be at Washington City. Reagan offered an amendment to the bill by adding a section lmoKiug an income tax. The amendment was rejected. Senators Brown, Payne, and Pugh voting no. The rate on oranges, lemoas, and limes was increased. An amendment offered by Allison was agreed to, repeuling the provision of law requiring a stamp to be affixed to every box of imported cigars to indicate Inspection thereof by the customs officers. An amendment reported from the finance committee to add to para graph 523 (putting diamonds, etc., on the free list) the words "and jewels to he used in the manufacture of watches," was agreed to. Plumb moved four amendments, all of which were rejected. The two first were to increase the duty on castor beans or seeds from 25 cents per bushel to 50 mid 40 cents; the third to reduce the duty on railway bars and punched iron or steel rails from M0 cent to 11-20 cent per pound; and the fourth to reduce the rate on beams, girders, etc., from 1 cent per pound to 9-10 of a cent.

St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 23. The "shadow of a great crime" was hanging over both houses of the legislature yesterday and they did not ballot for a United States senator. Tho trouble was the alleged bribery in con nection with the caucus nomination ofthe Republicans and which a senate committee is investigating with closed doors. There are fearful rumors of iolitical unrighteousness going tlie rounds, but nothing at all is known as to what testimony the committee has before it. The house adjourned for the day by reason of the failure of a report on the case and the senate took a recess until 8 p. m. The senate reconvened with closed doors at 8 p. in. and discussed the testimony taken by tho committee, but dropped that after awhile and confirmed governor's appointment. At 12:".(this morning a vote ou senator was taken. The Democrats and anti-Washburn men refrained from voting, the result being that Washburn received 24 votes: Knute NeLson, 1 ; Eugene M.

Estes claims that he spurned the offer, and it is known that he voted for Washburn. No sooner was this testimony submitted than Buckman, who is a small, lame man, was upon his feet.

Her clothing bad, as in the case of nearly all the Whitechapel murders, been thrown over her head, and the little crowd w hich had gath ered there ujx)n the discovery of the body were hoi-rifled to see that it had been muti lated exactly as had been done in the London cases. If anything further had been needed to make the horror-stricken crowd attribute the crime to the Whitechapel fiend it was found on a card pinned to the unfortunate woman's body by tho blade of a small pen knife. The card bore this inscription: "Jack the Ripper. Fourteen more, then I quit." Ot course a diligent search was made for the murderer, but he was not found. On the morning of Dec. 13, in a field, lying by and partially concealed under un old shed. was found a second liody. In this case the woman was a notorious creature of the lowest class, a negress called ' Mag." Her wounds were of the same nature as those inflicted upon the other. The authorities made a hur ried investigation and buried the body as speedily as jiossiblo, giving no one an oppor tunity to examine it. No nientiou of the crimes was made in the newsiiipcrs at the time, the officials endeavoring by every means in their power to hush the matter up and nave it talked about as lilt 1.. as possible. N trace was ever found of the murderer, und it was forgotten save by a few of the wretched w-omen who belong to that class among wbitb the unfortunates moved. The third Ixidy was found on the Friday be fore ew ear's day. This time the newspa pers were compelled to notice the discovery. The scene of this third murder was about midway lietween the places where the former discovoriMs hud been made, and the sailors in sist that the crime was in every w ay analogous to the others. There are comparatively few women of this class about Kingston or Spunish Town, but those who do live there are in a state of abject terror. I h mil merer has eluded the authori ties, and the sailors expect to learn of further atrocities on their return. A Mild Case of the Smir. Jamkstown, N. Y., Jan. 21 Gilbert W Hareltine, Jr., of this city, was arrested last night in a house of ill-fame for attempting to Kin one oi the inmates. 1 he bullet passed close to the woman's head and into the d'Kir behind her.
