THE SITUATION AS PICTURED FROM A REPUBLI- CAN STANDPOINT—A8 MANY DEMOCRATIC as REPUBLICAN VOTES LOST IN THR FIFTH DIS- TRICT—THE SITUATION IN THE STATE. There is no doubt 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, been a matter of the greatest interest to citizens here. Representative Mudd was found by ® reporter of the Stan at republican headquarters today and talked freely about the working and effect of the new law. “It has been and will continue 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 FOR THE FIFTH DISTRICT. “The new registration law found its birth in the fifth district, which I represent, and was originally intended to apply only to the coun- tiew of that district. The bill was so intro- duced in the Maryland legislature and so reported from the committee. The demo- crats perceived, however, tho hopelessly un- constitutionality of legislating against certain counties in the matter of registration and the law was extended to apply to the entire state, The fifth district, however, is what was aimed at and where by far the greatest number of names have been struck off. In the district I should say 2,600 or 2,700 names have been stricken fron the registration list, DEMOCRATIC LOSSES, “T have no doubt that the democratic party had an idea that they were going to strike the republicans of the fifth district a death blow by their law, but when the names which have been cut off from the lists are counted up it will be found thatthe losses by this means will be just about equally divided be- tween the two parties. In the 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 the judges ruled that those hold- ing federal office, those whose parents resided in the district and those who had left their fam- ilies in the district should not be {cut off by carriers, 8,576 copies were sold by newsboys, and 1,514 copies were sold over the counter, in the business office, This is one copy of Tue Stan purchased and paid for by every seventh per- son in Washington—young and old, little and big, lettered and unlearned! These figures should be studied by ad- vertisers.

He will leave on Monday evening for New Mexico, where he has important mining inter- ests. Some of the new machinery on his prop- erty will start up about that time, so he pro- poses to go down and see how it. works, Ho will be absent about three weeks, Prnsonat.—H. H. Breckman of Jacksonville, from voting it resulted in again for the a licans, Likewise nearly all the appeals which were being heard before the circuit court were from republicans, and on account of 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 have the effect of adding 300 to the repub- lican vote in the fifth district. THE REST OF THE STATE. “No, the restof the state did not suffer in respect anything like this district, I pre- sume there wero as many hames stricken off in the fifth asin all the rest of the state put together. But in nearly every section the law will prove a bomerang for the democrats. “Ob, yes, the demozrats will gain one Con- gressman in Maryland. The fourth district now represented by Mr. Stockbridge was ger- rymandered in such @ way as to leave very little hope for a republican, but rest assured I am going to be elected in the fifth.” TALK ABOUT THE CENSUS. A “Star” Reporter’s Chat With Super- intendent Porter. THE CENSUS OFFICE CAN TAKE NO ACTION IN THE NEW YORK CASE UNTIL MAYOR GRANT SENDS IN HIS TESTIMONY—THE CENSUS FORCE TO BE REDUCED. If there is a human being in this city who could conscientiously sit for a picture of health that individual is Robert P. Porter, superin- tendent of the eleventh census. He was down at his office this morning in good season, re- Fla., Addison Lysle of Pittsburg, Cadets Pendle and Arnold, Mr. and Mrs, 0. M. Hunaly and Mrs. A. 8. Fletcher and daughter of Hunts- ville, Ala,, J, J. Chew, P. Carson and Dr. R. W. Knox of Houston, Tex., Hon. H. C. Bliss of Boston and Mr. Benjamin L.

Then there were floral greetings. The division of manufactures contributed a magnificent willow vase-shaped something, which was painted white and gold and filled with roses and maiden hair fern, From the eleventh divi- —that which wrestles with statistical infor- mation as to tarms. bomes and mortgages— came a basket of fruit; pears and grapes and apples aud bananas and oranges, Individuals had also contributed to the beautiful producta, which scented an atmosphere that but a few days ago was heavily laden with New York pro- fanity of a peculiarly lurid variety, one pri- ly presented basket being noticeably lovely. irlie ork at ihelomasas aa moving along quite smoothly.” said he to a Sranreporter who called, “Everything is progressing satis- factorily.” THE NEW YORK CITY CENSUS, “What about the New York census?” queried the reporter. “That is entirely out of my hands,” replied Mr. Porter, ‘{ 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 take no action, and yet Mr, Grant has appealed to the Secretary of tho Interior. His action in the matter would be very much like that of » lawyer who would appear in court, make an announcement of that fact, then get mad with the judge because testimony was de- manded of him and finally say: ‘I won't make my case plain; I will appeal toa higher court.’ ‘The New York caso is not a matter with which Ihave anything to do; there is nothing in it for me to consider.” COMING REMOVALS, “When will reductions of the census force commence? Maybeabout the ist of November, erhaps not until the 15th, The removals will te gradual and will only take place as the work lessens in quantity. I did not expect to make discharges so soon, but there was great pres- sure for place and the force has been larger than I had originally intended it should be, By the end of ember there will probably be less employes by 500 than there now are. At present the pay roll has 2,300 names on it.” CLOSING UP THE CAMPAIGN. Confidence at Republican Headquar- ters—Talk of Using Money Lavishly.

Loxpox, Oct. 27. lie P. Piercey, the Woman arrested on suspicion of having mur- dered Mrs, Hobbs, whose body was found fear- fully mutilatedin @ remote part of South Hampstead on Friday night last, was brought before the police court at South Hampstead this morning for preliminary examination. Hobbs, the husband of the murdered wowan, was placed upon the stand, and during the rigorous examination which followed admitted the existence of a liassou between the prisoner, Nellie Piercey, and himself, It was brought outin the testimony that Hobbs possessed a latch key to the woman's house. ‘le witness admitted that his visits to Lis mistress had been frequent, and that he had no suspicion of his wife's knowledge of his criminal relations with the prisoner. A TERRIBLE Front. Evidence given by the police and others, who visited the residence of the woman Piercey, showed that a terrible fight must have taken piace in the kitchen between the infuri- ated women. The windows were smashed, the furniture splashed with blood and the weapons used in the awful struggie were found with clots of blood and locks of gory hair adhering to them. It was also shown that after the com- mission of the crime an attempt had been made to remove the blood stains. Parafine had been employed in destroying the traces of the combat, WHITECHAPEL POLICE RIDICULED. This morning’s papers extol the activity of the South Hampstead police and detectives in the progress they have made in the direction of conclusively proving the identity of the murderer of Mrs, Hobbs and compare their ef- forte with those of the police of the White- chapel district in their search for Juck the Rip- r, to the disparagement and ridicule of the tter guardians of peace and socicty. a LIKE “JIM, THE PENMAN,” Reviewing the Career of C. W. Robin- son, the Massachusetts Forger. Bnocntoy, Mass., Oct. 27.—The checkered career of C. W. Robinson. 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- actiovs with hii It is known that Robinson went to Boston Friday afternoon, since which time his doings and whereabouts are unknown, Another fact came to light today which shows that he bas pursued a criminal course for some months if not for years. In conversation with Mr. 8. H. Howard, bis partner, Robinson ad- mitted that within six mouths he had placed nearly $30,000 forged paper and had taken eare of it, and if his partner would only keep quiet for afew days he would provide for the forged paper now out. Considerable fault is found with the parties who held this forged paper for not making it known to his partners that they might be on the lookout for more such transactions, but these parties state that they considered’ Mr. Robinson an upright citizen and that they did not wish to bhght the man’s character for ous misdeed. Messrs. Howard and Goldthwaite admit that notes heid by the Home National Bank amounting to nearly £30,000 bear their indorsements and will be met, yet the names of the makers of these said notes are forged. It 1s stated that the Brockton National Bank holds about $14,000 with Howard and Goldthwaite signatures which are forgeries. Mr. Gold- thwaite adits losing about $35,000 by these transactions and Mr, Howard has lost fully as large an amount. Several who have been quite intimate with the absconder think that losses will amount to more than $150,000. Mr. Robinson, as clerk of the police court of this city, has not rendered an account for sey- eral months, It is thought that several crooked transactions be unearthed. Mayor Doug- Jas held a consultation with Robinson with re- gard to this matter about ten days ago, and the ter agreed to furnish a statement last Satur- day, but no account has yet been filed. Among Robinson’s papers was found a carefully drawn shect, showing some notes that are believed to be out, but where theyare placed is a mystery, 48 we epee each entry are characters that can only be 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 partics are ex- ted here who will throw some light upon deeds that Kobinson has committed, —_——_——— CAUGHT IN A PULLEY.

Meigs & Vevers Lumber kG. liabil- Loxpox, Oct. 27.—The proposition for com- mercial reciprocity between Germany and Aus tria has met an unexpected obstacle in the Franktort treaty, guarantceing to France equal privileges as to commerce with those granted by Germany to any other power. Germany is not prepared for this,as her manufacturers; crippled by the loss of American trade, would speedily be crushed by the competition of the more skilitul French. These negotiations must therefore necessaruy fail, Germany has also another difficulty of a com- mercial nature on hand with England. The English are maintaining a virtual embargo against cattle from Schlosswig-Holsteim, al- though the province is notoriously free from disease, Cattle from the Dautsh Islands and Jutland are freely imported into England, while the chief export of the Prussian prov- ince is rigidly excluded. The motive for this is hard to understand, unless it is a remnant of the old Hanoverian dislike for Prussia, ~ontapeemn VERY NEAR DEATH, Frances Duchalk Rescued From the gine Wheels.
