Loxpox, June 26.—The foul crimes of “Jack the Ripper” were again called to mind last | night by » murder that was committed in Roth- erhith, a suburb a short distance to the south- east of London. The body of a woman belong- ing to the unfortunate class was found with the throat cut, the wound showing that the knife had been used from left to right,as was the case in all the murders committed by the ripper in the Whitechapel district of London. Persons in the street after the murder was doue state that they heard a woman scream two or three times. ‘They ran in the direction of the sounds and found the woman lying on | the pavement with the blood streaming from an awful gash in her throat. She was uncon- ‘ious when found and died a few minutes afterward, ‘The police were promptly on the scene, hav- ing been alarmed by the screnming, but the murderer had effected his escape, leaving not the shghtest clue to hia identity. The degraded women of Rotherhith are panic stricken by the fate that has befallen another of their class. ‘The body of the dead woman was not mutilated in the disgusting manner that characterized the crimes of “Jack the Ripper,” but it is thought that the assassin was frightened away by the sound of approuching footsteps before he had | time to mutilate the body. ‘The police are searching among the friends of the dead woman fora possible clue to the | amurde; ‘They don’t believe that “Jack the | Kipper” has commenced operations, but think the crime was duc to jealousy or to'a drunken quarrel between the woman and some man whose acquaintance she had made on the street.

He refers in inflammatory language to the ageression of tho English majority in Canada, which he claims is violating treaty laws with audacity. English tyranny is seen in Canada by (to use Mr. Mercier's words) “the abolition of the French language, by the exile and con- fisention, by political seaffolds and inhuman ex- ecution of young men whose crime is to love their country too well; by expulsion in Cann of men, women and children, laying waste our fields, ‘and by robbing and plundering our farmers, defenseless as thoy all were; and at last by the execution of Riel, The story tells what British fair play as understood by the fanatical section of the country means. By the butchery of Joan of Arc, the noble heroine burned alive at Rouen by ‘the British, pilsoners of war in India by the English, and y her arbitrary laws whereby Irish Catholics were obliged” to pay tithes to Protestant ministers, M. Mercier warns his compatriots that the only remedy against British oppression is by the alliance of French Canadians and all Catb- olics, and that if they don't combine to protect themselves both their nationalities and their re- lagion wil! be done away. The address is being widely criticised throughout the province and is creating a great sensation, as it is thonght it will make the breach between the English and French in the Province of Quebec wider than e peace MINISTER BLOUNT AT HONOLULU.
