Mr. Mudd Says the Maryland Registra tion Law U ? Boomerang. THE SITUATION AS PICTUBED FRO* A BEPCBLI CAN STANDPOINT?AS MAST DEMOCRATIC AS BEPUBLICAN VOTES LOST IN TBB Kirm DIS TBICT?THE SITUATION IS THE STAT*. There is no doabt that Maryland has a larger representation in Washington of persons claiming residence and the right to vote in that state than has any other state of the Union. The new registration and election law in that state has. therefore, boen a matter of the greatest interest to citizens here. Representative Mudd was found by a reporter of the Stab at republican headquarters today and talked freely about the working and effect of the new law. "It has been and will contiuue to be unsatisfactory to both parties," said Mr. Mudd, "Since that party has been able to Judge in a measure what the effect of the new law is going to be. I think the democrats are as much opposed to the law as the republi cans. intended fob the fifth distbict. "The new registration law found its birth in the fifth district, which I represent, and was originally intended to apply only to tho coun ties of that district. The bill was so intro duced in the Maryland legislature and so reported from the committee. Tho demo crats perceived, however, tho hopelessly un constitutionality of legislating against certain counties in tho matter of registration and tho law was extended to apply to tho entire state. The fifth district, however, is what was aimed at and wbero by far the greatest number of names bave boen struck off. In the district I should say 2,600 or 2,700 names have been stricken from the registration list democbatic losses. "I have no doubt that tho democratic party had an idea that they woro going to strike tho republicans cf tho fifth district a death blow by their law, but when the names which have I been cut off from the lists are counted | up it will be found that the losses by this I means will be just about equally divided be I tween tho two partieB. In tho counties in tho fifth directly bordering on Wash ington more democrats have been stricken off than republicans while in the lower counties the opposite is found. When tho judges ruled that those hold ing federal office, those whose parents resided in the district and those who had lelt their fam ilies in the district should not be (cut off from voting it resulted in a gain tor the repub licans. Likewise nearly all the appeals which were being beard before the circuit court were from republicans, and on account ol these ap peals a number of names have been put back on the lists. If the appeals are decided in a fair manner I think the new registration law will havo the effect of adding 300 to tho repub lican vote in the fifth district. THE REST OF TUB STATE. "No, tho rest of the itate did not suffer in this respect anything like this district I pre sume there were as many names stricken off in the fifth as in all the rest of the state put together. But in nearly every section the law will prove a bomerung for tho democrats. "Ob. yes, the democrats will gain one Con gressman in Maryland. The fourth district now represented by Mr. Stockbridge was ger rymandered in such a way as to leave very little hope for a republican, but rest assured 1 am going to bo elected in tho fifth." TALK ABUUT"*THK CENSUS. A "Star" Reporter's Chat With Super intendent Porter. THE CENSUS OFFICE CAN TAKE 50 ACTIO* IN THE NEW YORK CASE UNTIL MA YOB GRANT BENDS IN HIS TESTIMONY?THE CENSUS FORCE TO BE BXDCCKD. If there is a hurann being in this city who eould conscientiously sit for a picture of health that individual is Robert P. I'orter, superin tendent of the eleveuth census. IIo was down at his office this morning in good season, re vived by his trip to England, and met with a welcome that would have been futiguiug to any man not in the best physical condition. Every body suid tbey were glad to see him and every body looked or seemed to look as though they were truthful up to the average. Then thore were fiorul greetings. The division of manufactures contributed a magnificent willow vase-shaped something, which was painted white and gold and filled with roses and maideu hair fern. From the eleventh divi sion?that which wrestles with statistical infor mation ns to farms, homes and mortgages? cume a basket of fruit; pears and grapes and apple* aud bananas and orauges. Individuals had also contributed to the beautifuUproducts, which scented an atmosphere that but a few days ago was heavily luden with New York pro fanity of a peculiarly lurid variety, one pri vately presentod basket being noticeably lovely. "The work of the census is moving along quite smoothly," said he to a Stab reporter who called. "Everything is progressing satis factorily." THE NEW TOBK CITY CENSUS. "What about the New York census?" queried the reporter. "That is entirely out of my hands," replied Mr. Porter. "I have nothing whatever to do with it The office requested Mayor Grant to produce testimony in support of his claims, but this he has failed to do. Without such testi mony the census office could tako no action, aud yet Mr. Grant has appealed to the Secretary of tho Interior. His action in the matter would be very much liko that of a lawyer who would appear iu court, make an announcement of that fact, then get mad with the judge because testimony was de manded of him and fiually say: 'I won't make my case plain; I will appeal to a higher court.' The New York caso is not a matter with which I havo anything to do; there is nothing in it for me to consider." COVINO REMOVALS. "When will reductions of the census force commence? Maybe about the 1st of November, perhaps not until tho 15tb. The removals will be gradual aud will only take placo as the work lessens in quantity. I did not expect to mako discharges so soon, but there was great pros sure for placo and the force has been larger than 1 had originally intended it should be. By the end of December there will probably bo less employes by 500 than there now are. At present the pay roll has 2,300 numos on it" CLOSING UP THK CAMPAIGN. Confidence at Republican Headquar ters?Talk of Using Money Lavishly. News was not an article of the most extrava gant abundance at the republican headquar ters today. What was to be found was of a very general character. The committee are espe cially busy just now in closing up the cam paign, mailing the final documents and putting things generally in ship-shape order for the 4th proximo. There can be no doubt that confidence in a republican victory this year is to be found in large quantities at headquarters. The managers, how ever, say that during the last few days the democrats have been making a lavish use of money in all the doubtful dis tricts. Iu one district, H is said, f 5,000 has been put in by tho democrats in the last few days. The republican managers look on this as the prearranged democratic program to hold the cash until near the end of the canvas and then flood the country. Where all this money is coming from or exactlv where it Is going the republican managers ao not state. War Department Changes.

Evidence given by the polico and others, who visited tho residence of the woman I iercey, showed that a terrible light must have taken place in the kitchen between the uifuri ated women. Tho windows were smashed, the furniture splashed with blood and the weapons used in the awful struggle were found with clots of blood and locks of got} hair adhering to them. It was also shown that after the com mission of the crime an attempt had beeii made to remove the blood stains. l'arafine had been employed in destroying the traces of the combat WIUTECHAPEI, POLICE BIDICrtED.

LIKE "JIM, THE PENMAN." Reviewing the Career of C. W. Robin sou, the 3Iassurhtisetts Forger. Bbocsto*, Miss.. Oct 27.?The che?kcred career of C. W. Robiiison. the stockbroker of this city, who has forged notes amounting to upward of $100,000, is being reviewed today by nearly every business man who had trans actions with him. It is known that Bobinson went to Boston Friday afternoon, since which time his doings and whereabouts are unknown Another fact came to light todav which shows that he lias pursued a criminal course for some months if not for years. In conversation with Mr. S. H. Howard, his partner. Bol>in?on ad mitted that within six months he had placed nearly *30.000 forged paper and had taken care of it, and if his partner would only keep quiet for a few days he would provide for the forced paper now out Considerable fault is found with the parties who hold this forged paper for not liiakine it kuown to his partners that they might be on the lookout for more such transactions, but these parties state that they considered Mr Kobinson an upright citizen and that they did not wish to blight the man's character for one misdeed. Messrs. Howard and Goldthwaite admit that notes held by the Home National Hank amounting to nearly tJO,000 bear their indorsements and will be met, yet the names of the makers of these said notes are forged. It is stated that tbe Brockton National Bank holds about *14,000 with Howard and Goldthwaite signatures which are forgeries. Mr. Gold thwaite admits losing about #30,000 by these transactions and Mr. Howard has lost fully as large an amount Several who have been unite intimate with the absconder think that losses will amount to more than *150,000. Sir. liobinson, as clerk of the police court of this city, has not rendered an account for sev eral months, it is thought that several crooked transactions will be unearthed. Mayor Douc las hold a consultation wiih Bobinson with re gard to this matter about ten davs ago, and tho latter agreed to furnish a statement last Satur day, but no account has yet been filed. Amon Bobinson s paper* was found ? carefully drawn sheet, showing some notes that are believed to be out, but where they are placed is a mystery as opposite each eutry are characters that can only bo read by him. These notes amount to several thousand dollars, and some are thought to be held in Taunton and Abington. It is ex pected that a more definite statement will be made public today, as certain parties are ex pected here who will throw some light upon the deeds that Bobinson has committed.

BLOCKING HIE WAY. i The Frankfort Treaty Prevent* Austro Gcrniuti Kcclproctty. London, Oct 27.?The proposition for com mercial reciprocity between Oeriuauy and Aus tria has met an unexpected obstacle in the Frankfort treaty, guaranteeing to l'rauce equal privileges as to cotnuiercc with thoae granted by Germany to any other power. Germany u not prepared for this, as her manufacturer*, crippled by the lo*s of American trade, would speedily be crushed by the coni|Htitiou of Uie more skillful French. These negotiations must therefore nece?ariiy fail. Oermany has also another difficulty of a com mercial nature oil haud with England. The English are maintaining a virtual embargo against cattle from Schlosswig-Uolsteiu, al though the province ia notoriously free from disease. Cattle from the llauisti Islands uud Jutland arc freely imported into England, wtiile the chief export of the 1'russiau prov ince is rigidly excluded. The motive for thia is hard to understand, unless it is a rcuiuant of the old Hanoverian dislike for Prussia. VEIiV NEAR DEATH. Frances Uuchulk Ueseued From the Engine W heels.
