In tie Senate late yesterday afternoon Mr. Dolph
submitted * Joint resolution to "authorize the
Executive and oilier Departments of the Govern
ment, the National Museum, the Geological Sur
ve>, and the Smithsonian Institute to use for ex
hibition at the Paris Exposition of ihho such arti
cles and cases as may be on hand and for which
spnee ? in be obi allied." Mr. Dolph stated that
the resolution w.is handed to him by an officer of
the Male Department to be Introduced: that he
(Dolpn) l?ad consulted all the members of th> for
eign relations commit tee who were at the Capllol,
and all of them aaseuted to lue immediate passage
01 the resolution.
Mr. Hoar remarked that the resolution was
"pretty vague m description.'* and bad It read
Again. After the he M reading he said: "I do
tot understand wnat tue pnra.se means,'lue Ex
ecutive and other l>-par. uients ol the (A?*ern
nieni. Wait are me -other Departments?'"*
Mr. Do.ph ? xpialried thai the articles proposed
to t>e exhibited at Paris are those now on exhibi
tion at Cincinnati. lie sent to the clerk and had
trad a letter from Assistant Secretary laves, of
the State Depart in nt, staling that 11 was pro
po?sl to transfer tiie articles now ou exhibition
at Cincinnati to Parts, and that the unexpended
b*j -rs - of th- appropriation made lor the Clncln
UU Exposition woui i cover ,ui expense^ of pac*
ln.-. transportation, tc; that all thai was wanted
was authority to make that use of the money and
the artlc.es.
.Mr. Hoar, with a tone that indicated that his
critical lasie had be?-n oflended, said: "The Joint
resolution is slovenly, unmeaning, and utterly un
worthy of the scuate or of a legislative body.
The Sen itot fr m urtjoo ougnt to pui it in proper
shape bet'Tc it is passed." He then quoted irom
the re-? lutlon. and u-dted: "What is 'the Geologi
cal Survey as an ufliclaiT" lie said the resolution
aid not state where the articles are which it pro
posed to send to Paris. He added: "It seems to
me T?ry extraordinary legal phraseol gy to say
that the Ocologlc.il surrey is authorized to send to
Paris Sueu article's and cases us may be on hand.' "

Mr. Dolph then got an opportunity to complete

The Jlnddox Hill Veto.
?istobt op a ctmocs claim-the presidents
OBJECTIONS TO PATIKtt IT.
The President's veto of the Maddox claim, men
tioned in yesterday s Star, Is a serious disappoint
ment to a g'>od many persons In Washington who
feel a friendly Interest In the beneficiary, Mrs.
Laura E. Maddox. This claim has been coming
up regu.arly before eaca succeeding congress for
some years, and It liao liad the support of some ot
the most Influential members of both branches of
Congress.
TEEMS OP TH* CONTRACT.
During the war Josepn E. Maddox contracted to
?ell and deliver lo the I'nlled Stales certain goods
then In the rebel states and to be procured there.
President Lincoln approved the contract by issu
ing an order directing that produces moving In
compliance with and lor fulillmeiit ot the contract
with Maddox should be free Irom seizure or de
tention. and that officials and u^eiilsof the In I ted
Mates should furnish tree and unmolested passage
for such products. With Mr. 11. A. His ley, agent
of the Ireasury Department. Maddox, tor himself
and several others, made a contract for tLe sale of
6.UU0 boxes of tobacco, 1130 barn-Is of turpentine,
and TOO bushels of roslu. which were to be trans
ported to New York or Baltimore. Some of the
goods were seized by the In Ion forces. Another
portion of the goods was detained at Richmond,
and was either, it was alleged, taken and used by
I'nlnn forces or destroyed by tue tires that pre
vailed there about the time Of the evacuation of
the city by the conf--derates, and soon alterwar.l
Maudox brought suit ae;uu-t tue Government
baaed upon his contract Willi klsley, but the Court
of claims held that ihe coutract was void, and the
Supreme Coirt, on appeal, atr.::ied that decision.
Then Congr.-ss was appealed to upon Ihe equities
of the case. The claim was passed upon by com
mittees of different Cong e .-*s- s, and several times
passed one Uc-u -e or the other, but never succeeded
In getting through both until lu the present con
gress.
THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.
The President "falls lo appreciate the equities
which entitle this claimant to lurther hearing."
and therefore vetoes the bill. He says It was
expressly provided in the Maddox-lilsley con
tract thai ?' nothing In this contr. ct con
tained shall be construed as incurring any
Jlabil.ty on behalf ol the I" Li led Mates."
He aiso says that hau Maddox examined
the regulations of the Ircas'.ry he would have
seen that they absolutely prohibited commercial
Intercourse with localit.es b- .oul the lines of
actual military occupation. 'Ihe veto concludes
as follows: "Not t. lug satisfied mat tlierp are
any especial equities walch entitle this claim to
more couslleraiioti than many others where
equities mlgul be c almed In behalf ol those who
long ago violated our non-intercourse laws. I am
unwilling lo sanction a precedent which. If fol
lowed. m.ght substantially wtrk a repeal of these
laws regarded necessary and expedient by those
charged with legislation during the war of the
rebellion and who had la full view ail the neces
sities of that period."

MB. SCREE APPEALS PROM THE COMMISSIONERS TO
TUX PRESIDENT.
Mr. J. B. Burke, the ex-commander of the de
partment ol the Potomac, G. A. K., has sent a
letter to the President, appealing to him against
the ruling of the District commissioners in the
matter ol the appolntmeut of tx-l nlon soldiers
and sailors to positions on the District police
lorce.
Mr. Burke holds that wnat is known as the
Army and Navy clause, providing tbil appoint
ments on th- police lorce shall t>- made from llio-.e
holding honorable discharges from the Army or
Jiavy requires such appointments u> t>- tnaae from
honorably discharged Union soldiers and satiois.
The commissioners have made on age limit winch
Eacllca.ly excludes veterans of the late war
jbx appointment. Mr. Burke argues that If
there is any force in the argument for
Bxlng the age limit for appointments at thlrty
etght years. It weighs as strongly Tor the discharge
of all who are en the force as fast as they reach
thirty-eight years as against the appointment of
men over that age, for a man too old to be placed
on the force is too old to be retained on it. He
argues that the limitation made by the commis
sioners Is unjust and unwise. He holds that the
proved courage and cooiuess, which the honorably
dlschaiy d soiller or sailor Is a.most sur to pos
sess should * elgh much in his favor. He claims
that the limitation Is illegal, as it would. If eu
f reed, nullify a law of Congress. The President
Is asked to see that the law is executed, and not
permitted to be nullified by negllgeLceof the com
missioners, in plain conflict * iiu the statutes.

WHISKY MONOPOLIES.
Mr. BlalDe spoke on the subject of trusts at
i.oshen, Ind., yesterday. It is estimated that
40,uu0 people were assembled to meet htm. He
said:
???Stop, thief! stop thief!' Is the cry, not en
tirely confines to the criminal classes. The coun
terpart of the trick is known in political circles,
and Is especially noticeable in the present course
of the democratic party respecting trusts. In
President Cleveland's famous free-trade message
of last December, he warned the country of the
dangers of trusts, and argued that they were the
offspring and result of the protective system es
tablished by the republican party; at
time, wnlle assalllug In the wldesweepof his ac
cusation almost every ludustrial l"^r^' (lll ,0

one-fourth of the customs revenue tor the yean
When Mr. Cleveland penned Us message he Knew
that
ON? or TBI LARGEST TRCST8 BVBR ORGANIZED
In the world?the sugar trust?was In full opera
tion, and tnat, If protective tariff was helpful to
that trust, he was giving it all the aid, both
official and personal, in his power. If the words
of his in ssage are true, he is himself responsible
tor levyin-' these countless millions upon the
Dockets ol "all consumers ot this country for an
article ot universal uso among the families of the
land. [Cheers.] Nor was Mr. Cleveland's silence
the oniy boon which the sugar trust received.
When Uie MUls bill was under consideration the
president 01 the sugar trust (Mr. llavemeyer), a
w. ll-Knowu active democrat of New York, ap
De ired be I ore the ways and means commUtee and,
according to the statement made in open senate
r>y Mr Mllsou, ot Iowa, obtained such an arrange
ment ul the uuiy as was equivalent to $6,000,o00
in the pockets of the trust. If, therefore, tue price
of sugar has been unduly advanced to the con
sumer. the reprehensible parties, according to the
President s uoclrine, are the President nlmseif
and the ways and means committee who con
cocted 1 he bill In tne interests of that trust I
think, moreover, that whenever you And oue of
tue necessities of lne cornered and controlled Dy

Cleveland at the head ot the movement. Sugar

necessities ol lite. Ae all know that
A SALT TRl'ST
exists In this country, and the man who is now at
the head of It, openly and avowedly conducting
Its a A.rs, Is Wellington li. Burt, the present demo
cratic candidate lor governor of Michigan. Mr.
burt Is earnestly advocating the removal of all
utitles for salt. This would seem another form of
contradiction of the President's theory, that pro
tection is the tlrst cause ot all trusts; and It like
wise tully Justifies the ground taken during the
cmvass, luat trusts exist more ireely lu a free
trade country than in a protective country; more
trec.y in England than in the United states. I am

Over f lltr People Reported Killed

A trlghtrul disaster occurred on the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad near While HmTen last night. The
number of killed, according'to the morning reports,
was nearly eighty, while the wounded numbered
over one hundred. The accident occurred at a
lonely spot, and information regarding it was dlf
Ocult to procure. It was caused by one train run
ning Into the rear of another.
The trains were excursion trains returning from
the celebration at Haxelton of the Catholic tem
perance societies ot the Scranton diocese. Thou
sands ot people went down to Hazelton from the
towns ot Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties. Seven
trains, with the cars filled to toe doors, passed
through White Haven In the morning, taking the
old route by Penn Haven.
On the return the first train lett Hazelton about
o p. m., the others following as rapidly as deemed
s iff. The first three sections came through with
out accident, the disaster happening to the fourth
and flfih sections. For some reason not explained
the fourth section was standing on the track near
the Utile station of Mud Hun, five miles below
White Haven, when the mtu section dashed
around a curve close behind and crashed Into It.
The cars were smashed and broken and hurled off
the track.
The road lies close beside the Lehlerh River, a
steep embankment eo feet high running down to
the water, several ot the cars rolled down this,
and others were crushed against the cutting on
the other side.
A dispatch from Hazelton says: The engine ot
the first section was disabled, and before a signal
could be thrown out, the second section, with its
large number of passengers, ran Into It. The en
gineer Jumped off Just before they struck. The
fireman was seriously Injured. About sixty people
were killed and as many wounded. Tweniy-nve
bodies have been taken from the wreck. News is
hard to geL There Is no telegraph at Mud Run.
The scene beggars description. The shrieks of
the wounded and dying could be heard lor a mile;
everything here Is excitement.
TUe people on the trains were from Plymouth
and Scrunton. Two car loads of wounded were
taken to St. Luke's Hospital at Bethlehem. The |
bodies of four children were taken from under the
engine Immediately alter the wreck, and the other
occupants ot the cars had to be cut out through
the windows and doors ot the cars. It Is reported
that some twenty boys, Father Matthew cadets,
are among the killed.
owing to the refusal of the railroad people to
give any Information or afford facilities Tor getting
It, but meaner details could be obtained of the
awful disaster, even at 4 o'clock this morning.

There is, of course, no question as regards the
Insanity ol the Whltechapel murderer. In the

similar murders have been committed with
equally cruel mutilation by men whose sanity
could not be questioned.
Bui In this age a:id in the very center ot modern
civilization there could be no Incentive to such
horrible crimes in the b re as is ol sane men, how
ever unruly their passions or revengeful tlieir
natures. In the series of murders committed by
.Maximilian In He yulncey'a remarkable story of
"The Avenger," the incentives to the deeds, terri
ble as were the wrongs to his family and rate,
were scarcely adequate to such wholesale butch
ery. The story Is improbable, and were It true,
Us hero would necessarily be considered a lunatic.
The methods ol homicidal maniacs ure very
diverse, and otten dinicuit of analysis. Sometimes
It is a melitncuoly mother who destroys her
children under the delusion that she save* them
from some threatening disaster, or because a voice
commands her to sacrifice them. Sometimes it is
some moral imbecile who delights In torturing in
nocent people to death. Often It is the victim
of alcohol who "runs amuck," stabbing right and
lett through a crowded thoroughfare. Krenzied
outbursts of violence in acute maniacs and general
paretics are by no means Infrequent.
But there is a class of lunatics, lormerly known
as monomaniacs, but to whom now the term
paranoiac is applied, which constitutes the most
dangerous ot all the Insane classes. The word
monomania lias been discarded because mislead
ing lroui its derivation. Although the insane rnau
may have but one dominating delusion, yet there
are often minor delusions, defective reason ami
Judgment centering about the so-called imperative
conception, so that he can scarcely be said to be
Insane on one Solitary subject, as the word mono
mania would Imply. Paranoia is a form of insan
ity which develops In a person who from birth has
a defective mental organization. In paranoia tne
Intellect may be unimpaired; mere may
indeed be unusual intellectual capacity. John
Brown, Benvenuto Cellini, uulteau. King Ludwig,
ol B varla, and many others, both notorious and
fatuous. were uudoubted'y paranoiaci Society is
tall ol them in every class, high and low, educated
and Ignorant, and they vary In their characters
from tne mildly eccentric individuals to the most
troublesome "cranks." The popular term lor a
paranoiac Is a "crank," a person peculiar trom
birth lu his speech and conduct. '1 he great trouble
is mat most of them are so bright intellectually
or so useful, and injure society in general so little
by their presence that they cannot be Incarcer
ated, although they may be a life-long affliction
to their Immediate trlends and companions. Hap
pily their homicidal tendencies are upon the
whole aeveloped rarely.
The motives of homicidal paranolacs are also
various. For lnstat.ee, Duborgne, who, some years
ago, staobed a number ot women in 14th street,
had far other reasons for so doing than this White
chaiK-1 murderer. The former had delusions oI
persecution and lialluciuatloiis of hearing, lie
fancied he heard people revillug him as he passed
through the street, lie heard them say, "lucre
goes lue wretch who Is taking all the money out
. of the country."
The Whitechapei murderer is actuated by one of
i two motives, lie kills to satisfy a red.ious faiiat
! lcisui or because oi a perverted sexual instinct, or
j tneie may be a combination of the two impulses.
1 i he fact that his victims have been selected from
! tne lowest classes of immoral women In London
certainly inclines one to the opinion that his desire
! is to Immolate these creatures upou the altar of
| religion, his delusions being tuat they are the chief
emissaries of the devil in the spread of evil. U nder
I the fiendish penal code which he Las established
lis ems necessary to kill and mutilate these poor
creatures. If this be really his sole Imperative
idea, however, It will be the only example of Its
kind in history. The religious purauolac is not so
apt to concentrate his reforms upon one vice alone,
lie usually makes war upon universal evil, but
by insane uieluods; he harangues audlenc s, an
nounces himself as a prophet perhaps. Is cou
Biaiiiiy quoting the Bible to his associates, and
often incites rebellion and riot. Joun Thorn, who
caused the bloody Canterby riots lu 18.13, is an ex
ample in point of a religious paranoiac.
'1 he fact that women of this class are selected
should not be taken too seriously. That he selects
womeu is a more important point. That they
should be of a base type is quite as likely to be uuj
to the necessities ot the case. They are the oniy
women he can induce to follow him Into dark cor
ners In tne dead ol nlglit.
W neii, ou the other naDd, the motive Is excited
by pertersiou ol the sexual in*tluct with cannibal
Ism- or s.iuiiar Insane propensities tne crimes are
| limited to women and the lunatic Is lufr- secre
! live. Andreas Bicuel murdered young girls, cut
i open their Watil bodies, and ate their quivering
I flesh. '1 he Westphalia murders, a few years ago,
! with most shocking mutilation of the bodies, cf
' which more titan twenty youug women were the
I victims, are of similar origiu. Only recently In
| Texas there w as a scales ol butcheries of young
; wooien, all perpetrated under circumstances so
peculiar as to point to a homicidal lunatic as their
author.
1 he-remarkable cunning of the London parano
iac, his secretiveness, his ability to elude the vigl
' laiit omcers of Justice in one ot tne most crowded
quarters oi the globe, lils carelui selection of vic
tims ol oue sex, ihe singular mutilation to which
he subjecis theui, all indicate that he is actuated,
by motives partly religious perhaps, but more
than likely foi the devilish gratification ol per
verted sexual instincts, and at the same time
demonstrate him to be one of the most daring and
atri cious nomlcidal lunatics ot which nittdlcal
Jurisprudence has any record.
Tbe Afctor*.
From the Coemopoliun.
They are eternally adding to their possessions;
they have thousands of buildings?residences
omces, stores, warehouses?and may In time hold
title to the bulk of the town. No one, outside of
the immediate family, and but very tew in It, have
any Idea how this absorbing process goes on, month
alter month, year after year, generation after
gcueratlou. The Astors keep tnelr affairs as secret
as possible, they are reticent?men, women and
children?as a rock on that subject, though only
their head aud their manager have any definite
information. They know that they are superla
tively rich; that every day, every hour, every
minute, augments their riches, and with this they
are satisfied.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
"Ho you know that we bad a case In this city
which for ncudishness was a parallel to the Whlte
chapel murders?" said Detective John Schnucks
at poUce headquarters. "It was out in the West
End, and you will all remember the case. It was
that of a man who went around night after night
maiming horses. He would make a sneak into a
stable at night and hamstring a horse. He took
the greatest delight. It appeared, In cutting up the
poor animals, rendering them entirely useless,
and all had to be klUed afterward. That was
about nine years sgu It was a strange mania,
and before the fellow was captured he had carved
up about twenty horses. Then we got on to hhn.
lie proved to be ah old fellow who had been re
leased trom a lunatic asylum as cured. He had
gone insane from being kicked by a horse, and In
his devilish way sought revenge. He waa re
turned to the asylum, and Is there now."
Mr. Powderly, it is said. Is studying law.
