The last forty-three pages of the bill con- tain its administrative features, which are similar to those contained in the undervalua- tion bill as it passed the senate during the Forty-ninth congr e Littlo Mormons Allowed to Land. New Youx, Oct. 3.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.)--The children in charge of the Mormons whoarrived in New York from Liverpool last weck on the steamer Wiscon- sin and were detained at Castle Garden by the collector, were released last evening by order of Secretary Fairchild, and this morn- ing started with the adults of the party for Salt Lake City. Originally twenty of the party of 150 were detained and ordered to be returned, but following the recomendation of the commissioners of emigration Collector Magone last Friday ordered that cleven be permitted to land. The collector refused to ot the remaining nine children go, and they were shipped back to the Wisconsin with the expectation of being returned to Liverpool. The steamship company appealed to Secre- tary Fairchild, saying” there was no legal reason why the children should be returned, as they had properly suthorized guardians and ample funds, 'The matter was referred back to Collector Magone, and yesterday he told the steamship company that if they filed a bond guaranteeing that the children would not become a public charge he would cause their release. The steamship company_im- mediately availed itself of this suggestion, and the children were allowed to land, et Betting With Their Mouths, NEW YoRK, Oct. 3.—[Special Telegram to Tz Bee.]—There was lively wind bettingin the Hoffman house cafe last night. Colonel Thomas Swords, the Iowa sergeaut-at-arms of the republican state committee, appeared at10:25 and said: *“The democrats are play- ing a stiff bluff hand, but [ propose to take them down. 1bet $10,000 that General Har- rison will be the next president of the United States.” Miles Farron, a well-known sporting man, offered to take the $£10,000, but wanted be- forehand to wager $500 that Colonel Swords would not put up the money. He also re- tused to accept a certified check and de- mandea the cash. ,Mervin Thompson, a wealthy young Californian, a guest at the Hoffman house, wanted to moderate the original bet, but Colonel Swords usisted upon $10,000 or nothing. o Dakota County Convention, Deapwoon, Dak., Oct. 3.—[Special Tele- gram to Tne Ber.]—The Lawrence county democratic convention for the nomination of candidates for county offices met at Sturgis to-day.

Benruy, Oect. The decree issued by President Carnot relative to residence of for- eigners in France is regarded here as a measure in retaliation for the recent pass- port regulatious adopted by the German gov- ernwent, DEVOID OF ALL SECTIONALISM. The Republican Tariff Bill Pre- sented to Congress. IT IS UNANIMOUSLY ENDORSED. Republican Senators a Unit in Sup- port of thoe Measure—Democrats Endorse the Benet Circular— Cleveland Violates the Law. The Tariff Bill Submitt, Wasmyaroy Buneav Trg Osana Bee, t 518 FounrerNTit Stureer, Wasmixaroy, D, C., Oct. 8. ) There can no longer be any doubt as to the intention of the republicans in the senate to show their exact position upon the subject of the tariff before the election by reporting their bill on the subject. The measure was bmitted in the senate this afternoon by Mr. Allison, who is acting chairman of the committee on finance. He has anunounced that he will call the measure up for consider- ation on next Monday, and‘in private conver- sation this evening he stated that the debate would be pushed along from day to day until a rocess was taken over the elcction. This, he thought, would be done about the 20th of the month. 1lu the house the impression pre- vails, however, that congress will take a re- cess by the middle of week after next. Senator Sherman's statement of the merits of the bill presented in comparison with the Mills Dbill passed last July by the house, created a pro- found impross His explanation of the sectional features of the democratic bill, and the fair and just treatment of all portions of the country aud all interests by the bill in- troduced to-day, was convincing. He showed that therepublicans had not taken advantage of any section of the country; that while every essential feature of the Amer! 7 tem "of protection was maintained, would be fully as much reduction in the in- comes of the government as the Mills bill pro- poses. The republicans in both houses occupy a different position in relation to this bill from that occupied by the democrats of the two houses toward the Mills bill. Whilo the democratic measura did not receive united support in the house, and was not commended by all of ths democrats in the scnate, every republican in both houses of congross endorses the bill introduced to-day. Th may be some amendments to the bill which has just been laid_before the senate, but they will not be made because the bill does not receive the endorse- ment of the ty. Such amendments as will tend to perfect the measure, will be accepted by the united party, whether by re- publicans or democrats, There have been no “dark lantern’ proceedings in connection with the preparation of the bill. A1l parties and all interests have béen heard, and fully considered. The primary object has been to reduce the revenues of thegovernuent to the minimum figures demanded o meet the ex- penditures of tae government, and at the sawme time correet the inequalities of the present laws which levy customs dues, The republicans Nold that it is better, after ° correcting the mequalities of the present laws, to make such reductions as possible by way of the abolition of useless intorngl taxes, and then to reduce the duties on the most popular articles of consumption wich are produced in the smallest quantities in this country. 'he republicans are satisflod that they have achieved their aim. Both of the Nebraska seuators indorse the bill heartily. 1T 18 NOT SECTIONAL. Senator Paddock says: “I think one of the strongest features of the republican bill is its. 50 per cent reduction of the duty on sugar. That article is consumed by every family rich and poor alike, 'The next strongest fea ture, in my opinion, is the entire absenoe of sectionalism, the uniform fairness to every section of the country. While the south is compelled by it to make, some concessions, the north is required to do the same in other interests, and there is an evening up all along which the country atlarge cannot complain of, and which must meet the ad- miration of the people as a whole. The fariners will support it because it gives them fully as much consideration as the manufuc- turers. The effort bhas been to avoid injustice to any intc The more the hil is discussed, and the closer the people look into and analyze it, the stronger it will be- come. There are features which do not ex- actly meet my views, and some things were not done which I hoped for, but a whole, the bill meets my hearty approval, and [ am confident that the great body of 'people in Nebraska and the country at large will give it theirapproval in November,” 18 AMERICAN AND PROTECTS THE FARMERS, Senator Manderson says: ‘I have not had an opportunity to give the new taviff bill the consideration it deserves, having only re- ceived it this morning But I know enough of its general provisions to be quite well us- sured that it will commend itself to the coun- try at large as being inflnitely better than the Mills bill. It is free from sectional discrimi- nation, and while reducing the revenues to the extent of probably §70,000,000to §75,000,000 per year, and does 0 in the inte ] tective principles, it not injuriously ~ effect any industrial or product interest. T think that it will, upon examination, be found to have elements that will commend itself notonly to the man- ufacturers and producers, but especially to the farmers of the country, whose intere: are so strictly identified With the manuf: turers and laborers of the country. I proba bly will find some features in the bill that I would be glad to see changed. They are, however, of minor detail, and I recognize the fact that a Dbill conceived in the intcrest of protection must aecessarily be one where one section must surrender some clements of advantage ‘for the good of tne entire count The debate upon the bill will certainly show that being American in 1ts conception, and designed to advance the in- terest of our own country rather than to ad- vantage others, it will grow in favor with the debate.” DEMOCRATS ENDORSE THE BENET ORDER. 1f there has existed in the mind of any person a doubt as to whether President Cleveland’s administration has favored civil seryice reform, or Preswlent Cleveland is a civil service reformer, it was courpletcly banished hy the debate’ which took place in the senate this afternoon, The Benet circu- lar order was undee discussion and Senator Cockrell of Missouri, who, on account of his investigation a a year ago at the head of & senatorial commit- tee, made a close examination into the detail workings of the civil government, and who is the best qualified to speak for his party on the subject of civil service, not only justified the 1ssuance and enforcement of the Benet circular, but declared that it should have heen brought forth long ago. He declared himself and his party in favor of turning out, not only the male republicans in office, but the women and children, and said that it was an easy cuough mat- ter to determine who were republicans among the women and children. He made no attempt to avoid the responsibility for the Benet circutar and boldly justified its spirit as well as its letter, CLEVELAND VIOLATES THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW, ere was a justly fierce urraignment of the administration for its hypocritical pre fessions of civil service reform by Messrs, Hale, Chandler, Hawley and other republi- cans who produced numerous circulars issued by various heads of departments and bureaus, under this administration, soliciting and urging campaign contributions from fede employes of all grades, including the metropolitan police ' of this city. Senator Hale stated that he proposcd, in the investigation which he would ke of the issuance and operations of the Henet cir- cular, to go into other branches of the gov- ernment in the same businces, and that he would uproot the last profession of the ad- ministration in favor of civil service reform or the enforcement of the civil service law. Senator Huwley stated that if President Cleveland hua really contributed $10,000, or any other sum, to the campaign fund, as he is credited with having done be bhad plainy violated the civi service law and should be impeached, fined and imprisoned. He said that the supreme court had rendered decisions which plainly indicated that President Clevelard could be punished for the participation he had taken in the impending campaign, Duri the speech of Senator Cockrell he declar the whole purpose of “the fuss over the Benet circular” was to drive mugwump voters from supporting the administration, Prnriy S, Heartu, Pensions, WasniNaroy, Oct. 8.—[Special Telegram o Tuk Bee, | —Pensions granted Nebraskans : Original invalid—Joan £, White, Stratton; Alpheus H.

Loxvoy, Oct. 8 [New York Herald Cable—Special to Tie Bek.| - The weather is freczingly cold, but were it warm the hor- rors upon horrors which accumulate would arouse the coldest blood. In the cellar of an old building at Whitehall, whero tho new police headquarters aro being constructed, the workmen found tho armless, limbless, headless teunk of a recently murdered woman, and within a hundred yards of the Laying street police station, within three hundred yards from the present ofices of the criminal investigation department, and within fifty yards of the houses of purlia- ment. Thus a new mystery. Last night the streets wero cleared of all classes to & wonderful extent, yet down the chief thoroughfares the pavement seemed busicr than ever. There was a drizzling rain and fog, and slush and mud under foot, and the cast end of London has rarely looked more wretched. But high over all the din and trafic the newsvenders were shrieking out another horrible murder. All through the dark streets for along distance round the scenes of the murders the murky night was being made hideous by the dismal banshee wail of further murder and mutila- tion. Where the gas lights were most pow- erful the papers were unfolded in the drizzle and fog, and little groups of eager listeners gathered round to learn what new horror had come 80 close upon the heels of the old. “The prevailing opinion is that to place the body where it was found, the person con- veying it must have scaled an eight-foot bourding which encloses the works, and carefully avoiding the watchmen who do duty by night, must have dropped it where it was found. Thus the mystery deopens.

Ishould not be surprised it he was stimulated to commit these crimes by read- ing Stevenson’s morbid and unhealthy story, which is likely to have a bad effect upon & previously morbid mind. I have had in New York a case of this dual nature and sent him to an asylum. He confessed to me his horrie ble eravings. “‘When I walk in Wall strect,’ he said, ‘I feel as 1f I could cut the flesh of the people I see.! “He was certainly one of the most singular looking persons I have ever seen.' *How would you search for the man?" would dress stout-hearted men in wo- men’s clothes, providing them with concealed armor to protect the neck and the rest of the body.
