ON THE RIPPER'S HEELS. ‘The Assassin of Whitechapel Nearly Caught in His Latest Crime. ‘Special Cabie Dispatch to The Evening Star. Loxpos, Feb. 19.—There is every reason to believe that “Jack the Ripper” has again been at work in tho same locality already made famous by his ghastly exploits. His lntest ef- fort, however, differs from the preceding pnes, in that on this occasion the human butcher did not have time to complete his work and from his «leet a place almost ag public as the Strand. Early this morning the residents | ‘amor | trolling Chamber street, a uarrow thorough- fare that endsin Leman street, where the police station is situated, he passed under the railway arch of the Blackwall line leading into Koval Mint street znd continning to the mint and the towers. He had gone about half way through when he stumbled over the body of @ woman lying in the center of the roadway ina pool of blood. The unfortunate creature was ulive. Her limbs moved slightly and her lips seemed articulate. to be endeavoring to The throat only held on by the skin at the back. ‘THE MURDENED’s EScArE. Hardly had the officer noticed this when he was startled by hearing receding footsteps run- ing as quickly as possible to the other end of the archway. Raising an alarm the streets in the vicinity were soon filled with a hurrying crowd of con- stables and inspectors from tl stations, who searched every court and door- way but without avail. Keturning to the body the police surgeon was summoned, but before his arrival the victim had died. to the same class of unfortunates among whom | the taurderer has hitherto found his victims, | but was younger than those nave generally BOLDNESS OF THE DEED. The most extraordinary incident connected with the affair is the public character of the place where the deed was committed.

It may not be generally known that in con- sequence of the murders committed by this no- torious criminal and the inability of the poli to apprehend him a special police force w some time ago organized for his detection, | members of which nightly patrol. the Whito- chapel district. Detective Miller of this force, who was under the archway only fifteen min- utes before Constable ‘Thompson, saw nothing to excite suspicion. The place is a favorite resort for unfortunate women despite the forts of the police to keep them away. At 5 o'clock Chief Inspector Swanson of Scotland Yard arrived with Inspector Arnold and made a searching examination of the locality, the adjacent ground, the walls of the archway and the neighboring hoardings for the reason that after his previous crimes Jack the Ripper frequently rade communications regar on the walls. morning, however, nothing was found, he probably not having time to conclude his usual program. — ar | and by ; NO PLACKS COULD BE FILLED. ‘What the Effvet of a Failure to Appropriate . fer the Civil Service Board Weald Be. ‘THE ACTION OF THE HOUSE WOULD DEPRIVE THE COMMISSIONERS OF ALL CLERICAL HELP—cOM- ‘MISSIONER ROOSEVELT'S VIEWS OX TRE SUB- ‘7ECT—TRE STATUS OF THE COMMISSIONERS. ‘The action of the House yesterday in the Committee of the whole in dealing with the the commission this to inquire what effect the final rejection of the paragraph in question would have upon the workings of the commission. ‘WR.

All of these twenty- seven were knocked ont of the bill. This force trained under our own eyes and the meinbers of it holding the most responsible itionn have been with us for several years. Weare just able to keep abreast of our work “The departments bave only detailed to us the men we have now after infinite trouble on because the departm the difficulty we hav the ten men we have now (who are uot pro- vided for at all in the report of the committee of the whole), I do uot suppose it would be possible for departments to detail for us more than four or five more clerks, if even this number. These four or tive raw men would have to attempt to do the work which our twenty-seven experi- enced men are barely able to accomplish. It ig even possible, I , that the depart- ments would be unable to detail to us any men atall. In either case, however, at least four- fifths of the commission's work will stop short. THE APPLICANTS WOULD SUFFER. “The hardship will not come upon the com- missioners at all. It will come upon the pub- lig service and upon the applicauts. We re- spire and answer from 200 to 1,300 lettere s day at present. After July 1 all these letters wi have to go unanswered. We examine and mark the papers of between §,000 and 10,000 applicants every year, holding examinations at least twice in every state in the Union. All this will have to be left undone. Almost all that we would be uble to do would be to certify to the departments those eligibles who were on the registers on July 1. ‘Chese would supply clerks, copyivts und applicants for one or two other branches for perhaps eight months from that date. But long before eight months were over | the supply of xpecial pension exeminers, of patent office d of stenographers would have giv ler the law not one appointment in the claseificd service can be made save through our lists. ‘Therefore all vacancies in the position’ of stenog- Tapber, patent office xaminer and_ the like would. simply have to go unfilled, not ypointment could be made to them the end of eight months or so no further | appointments could be made at all unless either the civil service law was repealed or some method of giving the commission an adequate force was adopted. MIGHT HOLD A FEW RXAMINATIONS, “It 18 possible.” continued Mr. Roosevelt, “that we might be able to hold a very few ex- minations for branches where applicants were pecially needed, but these would have to be held mainly in Washiugton or ite immediate vicinity. ly a district over 200 miles from Washington would have an examination in i except by haphazard, as the comm themselves might go to conduct them. Our entire published schedule of ex- aminations for the ensuing year would have to be revoked and the applicants from nine-tenths of the remote states and territories would be deprived of their chances of appointment. At present we are left with less force than we had at the beginning, in 1883, when there was not a tenth of the present work tobe done, for the detail of the ten clerks has been knocked out.” ++ ______ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, New York Stock Market. follor the opening and closing prices, anh York ‘Sock Market, as r yey pecial WILL IT HURT HIM?
