night a man and woman registered
at a cheap hotel here as man and
wife. They immediately retired,

this morning, the door of the room
was broken in. On the bed lay
the woman, covered with blood.
She had been dead for hours. I ler
abdomen had been ripped open
with a dull, broken table-knife
that lay in the blood. The viscera
had been cut, and from appear
ances, tne part was iniss:i,g. The
man had escaped. A veiy imper
fect description of him was given
the police, and they went to work
on it with the utmost necreey and
speed. They think he is "Jack
the Ripper."
The coroner made a hasty exam
ination of the body and found that
the woman had been dead a num
ber of hours. He removed the
clothes from her face and neck
and revealed the ghastly visage.
The tciigue was out of the mouth
and the swollen eyes bulged from
their sockets; anil the nose was
flattened to the face, and about the
neck was a circle cf congealed
blood. The appearance of the face
convinced the coroner that the
woman had first been strangled

body over it was found that the
murderer had left his mark. The
broken end of the knife had been
used to make a large cross on the

A W A K-I.IKE MESSAGE.
The Itrltilt (iovernmeiit Will
Stand no XonaeiiHe.
Loxpox, April 24. One of the
results of the action of the Portu
gese officials in tiring upon the
British steamer Agnes and the
seizure of the two cargo boats at
tached to the expedition, has be
come public by the action taken
by the Portugese cabinet to-day.
It appears, in addition to the dis
patch of three British warships to
the entrance of the Pungwe river,
as announced by Salisbury yester
day, the British prime minister
has forwarded an ultimatum to
the Portugese government declar
ing that unless immediate facili
ties are afforded British subjects
to open the Puiigwe river in ac
cordance with the provisions of
the modus vivendi now existing
between Great Britain and Portu
gal, the British government would
resort to force in order to iicsure
respect on the part of Portugal to
her treaty engagement, and the
result would be disastrous to Por
tugese's interests in that part.
The Portugal's cabinet to-day,
under pressure of Salisbury's ulti
matum, gave consent to a free
passage up the Pungwe river.

London, April 24. There is
much congratulation among the
members of the commons, that
the conservatives have commit
ted themselves on free education,
but much diversity of opinion as
to how the new departure would
affect the party in future. Xo one
doubts the government has made a
coup with a view to the general
election. The conservatives who.
dislike the meaf ure but accept it
because of their desire to associate
the name of the party with an im
mense boon town working men,
and rural laborers.but the liberals
reason that the tory action cannot
take from tnem the credit of the
measure for which they have long
fought. No change is to be made
in the system of control except
that parents shall have the power
to elect part of the board. The
solid opposition of the liberals on
tbis latter point may give the con
servatives a disastrous check on
the eve of dissolution. The Eng
lish government is evincing the
greatest interest in the Chicago
world's fair and has decided to
make a handsome appropriation.
This is an unusual sign of friendli
ness, as no appropriation wae
made for Paris.

Pacific Co. for damages sustained

the Kumli case, decided in his
favor, but the motion was denied.
An apieal to the supreme court

that excessive damages had been
awarded. Kumli sued for $10,000
and got $1500.

Passadena, April 24. The pres

beautiful floral display this morn
ing during a two hours' drive
through the principal streets of
this "crown ot the valley. ' lliev
had a line escort composed of local
military and civic organizations.
The president and Mrs. Harrison
and Mayor Luckens occupied a
carriage decorated with acacia
blos3oms and drawn by four
horses wearing feathery plumes
The carriage containing Secretary

Wanamaker was ornamented with
orange blossoms and red, white
and yellow- roses. All the other
carriages displayed floweis.
Santa Bakuaka, April 24. Tin
presidential train made several
short stops between Passadena
and this city. Lverywhere the
president was received with the
greatest enthasiasm. At &anta
Paula there was displayed the
largest solid floral piece the party
had seen since they left Washing
ton. It was in l.he form of a sign
hoard, 12 feet long and three feet
wide, and was made entirely of
calla lillies. Across its face was
the word "Welcome" in large let
ters of red geraniums. A commit
tee of citizens boarded the train
and presented the president with
a five-foot model of an oil derrick,
made ol choice flowers. A speech
was demanded and the president
made a short address.
The visit of President Harrison
to Santa Barbara this afternoon
was celebrated in the most unique
and characteristic manner. It is the
first time in the history of that
ancient Spanish city that it has
been honored with the presence of
(he chief magistrate of the United
States. A procession was formed
at the Btation, composed of a cav
alcade of Spanish citizens in their
native costumes, grand army and
a brigade of children and citizens
in gaily decorated carriages. The
party was . first escorted to the
Promenade des Anglais, a beauti
ful drive, bordered on both sides
with mountatns, dotted with
picturesque villas. Here they
witnessed a battle of flowers, par
ticipated in by ladies and gentle
men in open carriages so covered
with flowers and green that they
were completely obscured. Each
carriage was provided with a pro
fusion of small bouquets, and as
they passed each other in con
verging lines, the occupants
threw flowers at each other with
zest and precision. The president
and party viewed the picturesque

$800 in the Commercial National
Bank in this city, Vallerti ter
suaded him that the bank was
about to fail and that he ought to
remove the money to another
bank. Fivre consented and two
men took the money and deposited
it in Ladds bank. Fivre under
stood no English so Vallerti trans
acted the business receiving the
certificate of deposit fcr $800 made
out to Fivre. Villerti gave Fivre
what the latter supposed was his
certificate, but it proved to be a
spurious one that Vallerti had
provided. Vallerti then took
Fivre back to the hospital and re
lumed himself to tfie bank and
drew the money. Nothing has
been heard of him since.
