Extensive preparations are being made by the republicans for a great state rally on the 11th, when Mr. Morton, Senator Shermat Mr. Blaine, Chauncey M. Depew, ne Hovey, Governor Foraker, General Gibson and others are expected here. Lincoln league clubs from all sections of the state will be present, and the committee of ar- rangements representing the republican state committee announce that the demonstration will be conducted on a scale never before at- tempted outside of New York City. Jewett's Proposition Declined. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 5.—Anent the propo- sition of Chairman Jewett, of the demo- cratic state committee, to Chairman Huston, of the republican committee, that each should name forty-five members and the pro- hibitionists ten members to constitute a committee of 100, whose duty it shall be to prevent illegal voting, Chairman Huston to- day makes a reply to Chairman Jewett, wherein he says: “Y¢u are doubtless aware that there is now existing a committee of 100, which is non-partisan in its character. Being already organized ond having had valuable experi- ence in the work it was organized to accomplisk, it can certainly be more effective than any new committee that might be formed at this time. With the con- sent and hearty aporoval of our committee 1 have forwarded to the treasurer of this com- mittee my check for §500, which sum shall be expended under their direction in giving re- wards for the apprehension of any persons wviolating the election laws of this state. The republicans are now, and ever havo been, in favor of an honest ballot and a fair count,” 8. P. Sheerin, secretary of the national democratic committee, in an interview this evening touching Chairwan Huston's re- sponse, said I regard Chairman Huston's reply as o most extraordinary one, and a public decla tion that the managers of the republican campaign are not only not in favor of an hon- est election but absolutely opposed to it. It is untrue that this committee is made up equally of democrats and republicans, The truth is that two-thirds of the local commit- tee of 100 are active working republicans. ‘The facility with which Chairman Huston, after the receipt of Chairman Jewett's letter, dumped §500 of the republican campaign fund into the treasury of this local commit- tee is proof positive that his intentions are to make it a convenient excuse for a refusal 0 enter into organization for the enforcement of the law without fear or favor,” AR T The Ola Roman's Tour, ‘WneeLING, Oct. 5.—Judge Thurman and party left Columbus quietly, and until Bell- aire was reached at 5 o’clock there was no attempt at demonstration, only a few people about the different depots being aware of the judge's arrival. However, at Bellaire a couple of hundred enthusiastic democrats with & band to help to give expression to their enthusiasm had assembled on the plat- form to greet their chosen candidate. As the train pulled through they cheered heartily ‘while the judee stood in the door and bowed bis acknowledgement of their greeting, At Benwood, on the West Virginia side of the river, & number of railroaders and others were ready with their greetings. ‘When Wheeling was reached a crowd of over one thousand, with fireworks and van- danas, gave a bea) t.v greeting to the judee. The judge spoke briefly, expressing his sin- cere thanks for the reception. When the train reached Pittsburg a crowd was waiting to meet the judge.

Derroir, Oct. 5—In consequence of a slight cold and hoarseness which developed since his speech in the open air at Adrian yesterday, Blaine determined this morning to give up his trip to East Saginaw and Ishpeming.

Dodge's Story of the Malay Sailor Generally Discredited. [Copyright 1858 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxvoy, Oct. [New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee.|—The perpe- trator of the Whitechapel murders is still at large and no clue has been discovered likely to lead to his capture, No further arrest of anyone has been made and nothing new has transpired in relation to the matter. The ex- citement in the neighborhood of the murders and terrible exploits shows no diminution in intensity. It has been ministered to all day by a series of rumors, particularly of a sanguinary character, but they have not the slightest truth in them. A cable dispatch about the Dodge story in New York of Alaska the Malay, excited great interest in police circles and immediately on rceeipt of a copy of the cablegram, detectives were sent to make inquiries at the Glen Line camship company and sailor's home for Asiatics and other places in the East end where it is likely information respecting the Malay could be obtained. Mr. Freeman, maunager and superintendent of the Asiatic home, stated that he had been at the home for thirty years and had never known a Malay of the name Alaska. ‘‘Malays,” he said, “‘are Mohamme- dans and do not use European names, but the word lascar is the Mohammedan name for a seaman and Dodge might have been misled.” Mr. Freeman, it appears, is much respected by the Asiatics, who indeed look upon him as a friend and brother. Mr. Freeman's long connection with the home has made his name well known in the far east, and such is the confidence which he inspires that Asiatics are in the habit of depositing their moncy with him. Most of the men who have lodged at the home lately have used it for years whenever their ships are in London, but recently a crew of Japanese sailors bad lodged there anda Mr. Freemen admitted that one of these men was a desparate character, for upon one occasion he stabbed three of his comrades who were staying in the home. He was arrested but when his trial came on the injured men had taken a ship and gone away. The Queen's music hall, states he met Alaska, fitted up in & style equal to many of the west end music halls. Mr. Wood, the manager, states that he has heard nothing of the alleged robbery ot the Malay and referred his inquirer to two attendants, Allander Nowland and Henry Pierce, who look after the boxes in which sailors returned from a voyage usually disport themselves. Both men declare that no such robbery could have taken place on the premises without their hearing it, and as far as_they were aware no such thing had happened. Axel Welin, secretary of the Scandinavian sailors' temperance house, West India docks, who is extremely popular with the foreign sailors, ransacked his books but could find no trace either of Dodge or the Malay. Messrs. McGregor, Son & Co., owners of the Glen line of steamers, trading to Singa- pore, China, ete., stated that the Glenarchy sailed in April from London to China and re- turned on August 14. After taking on a cargo at Autwerp she again sailed for China on September 8, and was last reported on September 23 at Suez. They have no one named Alaska on board. The chief cook of the Glenarchy is a thoroughly respectable Chinaman who has been in the service of the firm for wany years, aud they have Lad no Malays on the ships. 1835 the general opinion that tho story of the seaman at New York is a yarn, il The l40l|dnn Police Myastified. Loxnox, Oct. 5.—The chief of the metro- politan police force has decided to employ bloodhounds in his efforts to discover the perpetrator of the Whitechapel murders, The police place confidence in the story of the seaman who states that in August last he met 4 Malay cook named Alask in Music hall in London, and that Alask told him that he had been robbed of all he had by a woman of the town, and threatened that unless he found the woman and recovered the property he would kill and mutilate every White woman he met.

Grartoy, Neb,, Oct. 3.—To the Editor of Tne Bee: Now that the senatorial muddle in this district is adjusted, it is to be hoped that you and your Lincoln correspondent will cease your strictures on me. In the in- vestigation before the committee at Lincoln the York men admitted that I was nominated on the first ballot; they also admitted that Mr. Keckley bolted the convention and said that he would run independent and would be elected, regardless of the acts of said con- vention, and after those avowals and threats to the York county man who voted for me, that he was a Judas and could not live in York county afterwards, they intimidated him _to vote for Mr. K., after the Fillmore delegates had withdrawn. Mr. Harlun admitted that [ got eleven votes to Mr. K.'s ten on the first ballot, and that he so announced it. The York men all admit that their delegation were uninstructed, and I knew several of them longer and better than Mr, K. But, s it usual, is it sensible, to nominate at bolts a convention and announces in that boay previous to said nomination that he detied its acts, and further to the in- vestigating committee at Lincoln refused to support me if decided in my favor, after 1 had declared to support hiut 1f decided in his favor.

He then took a letter from his pocket re- cewved from “A Farmer,” requesting him to say something about the tariff and the atti- tude of both parties on it, and asking him to tell his audience whether the railvoads had gone outof politics. The speaker said he would answer the questions if the audience A Farmer." desired, but as he always avoided political discussions on such occasions he would not refer to them uuless requested to by the audience. At cries of “Go on,” the speaker continued, touching the tarifl merely to state the _attitude of the two partics on that question, He expre himself as of the opinion_that the railr o still in politics, und severely criticised Secretary of State Laws for his change ot front on'the railroad rate schedule order.

C., Oct. 5. ) There are some very angry republicans in Washington to-night. After the republican party endorsed in its platform at Chicago the bill to corporate the Nicarauguan Canal com- pany, an enterprise which would be of great credit to the United States as a nation, and which private parties wose to carry out without any federal financial assistance, the democrats in congress organized in opposition to itand fought the measure. Its growing popularity, however, induced them to with- draw their objections and now the democrats are trying to secure some of the republican popularity by supporting the bill. The measure was called up in the house four or five times this week, and would have been passed had it not been for the opposition of Representative Fuller of lowa. All of the democratic opposition was withdrawn this afternoon in the house and Mr. Fuller alone stood out against the bill, although a lot of republicans begged him to desist. It s stated the of Mr. Fuller's objection s that he understands the projec of the canul propose to give the democratic national committee a large contribution for inducing the democrats 1 the house to withdraw their objection, but 1 have it on good autho that there is no truth in the report.

There is little if any doubt that the bill will be passed on Mon, ller continues to object OKLY A RUMOR, There was a rumor very prevalent to-day to the effect that Mr. Cleveland is contem plating the preparation of a message recon- mending the passage of the sen tariff bill. ‘The reason alleged for this recommendation is that the measure, aithough, in his opinion, not as good a bill as the Mills bill, is better than none at all, and that it would prevent the further accumulation of the surplus. Moreover, the senate tariff bill could ce tainly be passed if supported by both partie: which will certainly never nccur to the Mills Dill, because of the republican obposition, This rumor gained considerable credence, but there can be no truth in it. Mr. Cleve- land has expressed to several leading rlemonnu his unllunble opposition to any m%fin y M\:duda fm‘ members of the ways and means committes, | in a conversation several months since, when they discussed this very point, that he would sign no bill without free wool. From this it can be safely inferred that should the pres- ent scnate bill pass the house—an event not at all improbable—Mr. Cleveland would promptly veto it, for this bill certainly does not repeal the duty on wool. A Service of Vast Importance to the Great Southwest. WAsSHINGTON, Oct. 5.—One weekago it was announced that the postmaster general had arranged for a fast mail, east-bound, from Chicago to New York. Negotiations were then pending for a similar service from St. Louis to New York, via the Pennsylvania road, which would give the great southwest advantages equal to those enjoyed by their northern neighbors. Arrangements have been completeed by which on Monday,the Sth inst., a new fast mail, eastand west, be- tween New York and St Louis will go into operation, The new western train will leave New York at 7:40, ecastern time; Philadel- phia, 1 0'clock p. m., eastern time, and arrive at Pittsburg at 8:30 a. m., eastern time, a gain of one hour, and St. Louis at 1:45 the following morning, central time. At Pittsburg connections will be made with all the principal departing postal trains for points in Pennsylvania_and Ohio, and an earlier carrier dol\\cx) will be se- cured for the Pittsburg city mail. Under the it is found impossible to deliver afternoon mails from New York and Philadelphia for Pittsburg before the after- noon dehiveries, while an arrival at o'clock a. m. willadmit of complete deliveries in the forenoon. Under the old schedule it was impossible to connect but very few of tho doparting railway mail trains from Pitts burg, but by the new schedule all departing lines'of importance will be connected. The cast-bound fast mail will leave St. Louis at 8:10 a. m., central time, arrive at Pittsburg at 12:50 a. m., castern time, and New York at4p. m., castern time. This latter tramn furnishes an entirely new service of great importance. — FIFTIETH CONGRESS, House. WasHINGTON, Oct. 5.—The house this morn- ing proceeded to the consideration of private business. The point of no quorum was raised against the first bill called up, and for threc-quarters of an hour the business of the house was at & standstill.
