LONDON FOG, The City and Suburbs Covered With a Thick Wooly Blackness, [Copuright 153 by James Gordon Ben Weoububd kb N Cable—Special to Tnr Ber,|—The fog to night is the worst known in many years, It covers the metropolis and suburbs with a thick wooly blackness, so dense that trians carry torches and with dificulty cross stre In spite of the fog hundreds are in the streets awaiting the arrival of the new year. The sight is novel, and awful phan tom-like, figares bearing aloft burning torches, nois appear and disappear in the terrible black stillness, Hack-drivers descended from their boxes and, lant- ern in hand, lead the trembling horses, Street urching with torches and yelled: “Ar yer lost?® “Take yer home for tuppence.” They did a thriv ing business when the theatres emptied their startled and frightened audicnces into the 'ts. Trains arc delayed at the depots for hours, and gangs of men with signal torpe docs sent over the roads to warn incoming trains. Many people who live in distant parts of the metropolis took rooms at the nearest hotel to await morning. London to-night is as helpless as New York was during the great blizzard. Late this evening a se curred on the London, Chatham & Dover railway at Loughbrough Junction. The southwest pussenger train, going at a high rate of speed, dashed into the rear coach of the passenger train from Ludgate Hill to Richmond, which had stopped at the station The engineer of the moving train did not sce the signal lights in front of him until within tiventy yards of the rear coach. It was entirely demolished, and all its occu pants, ten in all, seriously injurcd, though noe were kitled. The scene of the acei dent was terrible. The groans and cries of the injured could be distinctly heard, but the intense fog made it difficult for the workmen to remove the debris safely, and 1t was over an hour before all were rescued. At least a score of accidents due to the fog have been reported by the police from various sections. - SHE WOULD NOT BATHE, oth Herald pedes ts. lanterns ious accident oc- A Jealous.Husband Shoots His Wi and Kills Himsel NEw Youk, Dee. 81.—Solomon Joseph,azed forty-seven, a traveling broker in lnces and linens, shot and fatally wounded his wife, aged twenty-nine, and then shot himself dead in the street in front of their residence last evening. Joseph was a drinker aud pos- sessed of a violent temper, and was ex- tremely jealous of his beantiful wife, Last migit, after a quarrel with her, he went to the bith room, and, after taking a bath him- self, ordered his wife to do the sume. She refused and he tried to force her into the room. She ran down stairs and he_followed and shot her twice, fatally wounding _her, after which he 8hot himseif in the head and dropped dead. Mrs. Josephr was taken to a hospital, where it was not expected she would live. The neighbors speak highly of Lier and vlace all the blame for domestic un- happiness upon her husband. i+ st o Surrender of the Heytien Republic. WasniNatoy, Dec. 31.—Secretary Whitney to-day recewved dispatches from Admiral Luce confirming the Associated press report of the.surrender of the Haytien Kepublic at the demnnd of the United States by General Legitime, the newly clected president of Hayti. The dispatches were immediately sent to Secretary Bayard. Secretary Bay- ard said this evening that it was not_true, as stated by some of those on board the steamer Prince Mauritz, thut the Haytien Republic had been given up on condition that the case should be arbitrated by repre- scntatives of the two governments, Mail advices bave also been recoived from Samoa in regard Lo the situation there, but as the department closed early to-day on ae- count of New Year's festivitics to morrow, the letters will not he read until Wednesday. In view of the fact that the advices came by mail, and that no telegram from San Fran- cisco in rsgard to them was received, it is be- lieved they do not contain auny intormation not already unoficially known. e STOPPED BY THE I'OLICE.

TUESDAY REVISING THE TARIEE BILL. The Finance Committes in Socret Session on the Measure. TOO MANY RECOMMENDATIONS. Names for Political 1 ing in Rather Thick From the Pacific Coast—Focestalling the Spoakership. eferrment Come- 513 FouKTEEN i WasmiNatoN, D, C., Dac. B, Five well-known republican statesmen red from the room of the senate com mittee on fluance at 1 o'clock to-day, and filed down into the restaurant for lunch. They had been in conference all the fere noon, and from the expression their faces bore, the work they were doimg was of a very important character. None of thom, how- r, would tallc upon the subject. They were, Messrs, Morrill, Sherman, Allison, Aldrich and Hiscock, all members of the committee on finance. One of them ventured the information that they would be in ses- sion all the afternoon and would forego the festivities of to-morrow in order that they might as nearly as possivle complete the work they were upon. When lunch was over “they returned to the committee room again and placed double guards at the door, and for more than two hours continued in their sceret session, It 18 ascertained that the mittee is sing for the last tine, upon the republican substitute to the Mills tariff bill, with o view of getting the measure in such a condition that all of the amendments may be voted upon at one time, In the event of the democrats delaying final wction, the bill will be taken up in the senate ain ‘on W ednesday, and the work of its consideration will progress as heretofore. It is believed that the democrats, notwithstand- idg their pledge to begin voting on the bili on the 21st of Junuary, will fight the amend ments 1o an extent that will preclude a vote upon more than a very few of them, wheu that day arrives. The republicans propose to have the bill in_condition, so that when the 21st of January i5 reached a final vote on all of the amendments can. be taken, and the bl put upon its passage without further de bate or ceremouy. 1t is not velieved that there will_be many important amendments adopted. A cut of 50 cents on the lumber du may be the only amend- ment of importance. When the bill comes to a final vote, or'a final vote is talen mendmients at one time, the re- they will stand solidly to- Itis'to meet such emergencies as a Lof the amendments at one time an members of the commit- in_cancus for s and will continue at that work for some days to come. TOO MANY RECOMME Republicans in Washington, who have re- cently talked to General Harrison on the cabinet question, suy the Pacific slope has overdone itsclf ' in” presenting the names of men for preferment, and may get loft en- tirely. When General Harrison indicated that e would suggestions from the people on th coust as to whom they would prefer for a place in tho cabinet, they appear_to have tuken their po- litical directory and selected almost every name within reach. They have urged the appointment_of John H. Boalt, ex-Governor Swift, Mr. Estee and many others from Cal- ifornia and Oregon. Among the number, the name of Senator John H. Mitchell, of Ore- gon, has been received with favor’ by Gen- eral Harrison, but it is_believed that owing to the fact thav Senator Mitchell is in a posi- tion where he can do the Pacific slope and the administration much good, Boalt is in the fore front just at this time. FORENTALLING THE SPEAKERSHIP, Some of the most prominent; republican protectionists in the house are talking of a conference to be held immediately after the expiration of the present s attended by the republi the next congress for the purpo ing the election of a speaker, The moven: mcans the selection of & man on the platform adopted at Chicago, and presages suceess for Mr. McKinley, of Onio, it is thought by his fricnds hore. 'A fecling is growing that Mr. Teod will bo needod o the floor quring the tariff debate, which will ensue the next ses- sion, and Mr. McKinley is the ideal prote tionist among the candidates for speakcrship. One of the prime motives in the conference is tocut off the usual campaigns for the speakership, thereby saving time and money, and avoiding the possibility of failinz. To-duy’s local newspapers announce that at present Mr. Cannon, of Lilinois, has more votes pledged 10 him than any other cand date. Mr. Cantion is moderate in his views: on tariff reform, believing that there should be lower dutics, and if the proposed confer- cnce has in view the selection of a bigh pro- tectionist, he may be left out. BEET SUGATR AND LUMBER, Senator Manderson made an argument to day before the committee on finance, in favor of free lumber or a substantial _reduction in the duty, and for a bounty on the production of beet 8tgar, and the adiission freo for a year of beet sugar machinery for experi ntal purposcs, He showed " the state_of sxperiment in the beet culture in brasia, particularly at Grand Island, where 10,000 acres have been purchased for that purposc, and that the sacharrine matter s very much “Rreater than in German beets, He expects a com promise of from 50 cents to & per 1,000 fect on white pine smwed limber, o bounty of 1 cont per pound on beet sugar, and hopes for the introduction of experimental machin free for one year. Senators from the lumb producing states are making vicorous resist- ance to any change in the lumber schedule, because of the great amount of labor involved n tumber production, A CANDIDATE FOI RE-ELE The New York Tribune’s Indianapolis cor- pondent to-duy mentions Genercl Mande so1's name as spoken of for secretary of war, of the interior. 1 called on him~ to-night in the truth of the report. He says: “lamnot an aspirant fora cubinct place, and have no expectation or desire for it: with the rest of the Nebraska delezation 1 am urging the Hon. John M. Thurstonfor seerotary of the interior.

It is probable that the committeo on rules will report & resolution to the house this weel which will put a stop to the filibuster- ing tactics employed o block a final vote on the Oklaboma bill aud the bill to incorporate the Nicaragua Canal company.

ONLY AN EMPTY FORMALITY Probability That the “Q" Strike Will Be Declared Off. A FEW CONCESSIONS MADE, the Scabs Will Ny Brotherhood Men—Talk Another Strike Sald to Be Untrae. But by t Be Replaced of Confe Special Result of the BCricavo, Dee. 81 Tur Ber,|~The rather empty formality of declaring the so-called “Q" strike oft will probably be gone through with to morrow. A mecting to that end was held at the Bur lington ofices this morning between General ence. Telegram to Manager Ripley, President Stone and Solici- tor General Wirt Dexter, representing the company, and Chairman Cavener and eight committeemen appointed by the Richmond convention of engineers, with full power to act. The engineers and ofticers of the road were in session from 10:80 o'clock until 1:30 this afternoon. Wirt Dexter said this afternoon: *“Noth- ing was done at the meeting, a gencral talk only having been indulged in. Another meeting will be held to-morrow. From another source it was learned that the strike would be declared off, in exchange for which the company would make some concession: What these are is ot known, and they can only be surmised, and it can be safely suid that they will be few, as none of the new engineers will be displaced in favor of the strikers. The committee, it was said, was unanimous in declaring that the strike should end so that the engineers could take their chances in getting back. It was an nounced that the pay of the strikers witl ceasc to-day, that limit having been set by the Richmond convention, The Burlington engincers who went on a strike last spring stand alone as a body, deserted by the Broth- erhood and boycotted by the enemy. But that is not the worst of it, by any means. A great many of them have been so reduced in circumstances that their homes have been broken up, and not a few are tramps,wander- ing about’ the country. That is the story in a nut shell told an_ Eve s reporter by a Texas & Rio ande engineer at the National hotel this morning. “You see, it is this way,” he said. “After the strike was declured the engincers grew restless, and the majority spent the greater portion of their time in hanging around the headquarters here in C Chairuian Hoge and his assistants ran things just as they pleased, Arthur being barred out most entirely. The talk around headqu: ters was pretty radical, and the associations were dangerous. Thus 1t was that about every man becamea professional and dissat- isfied agitator, and the fecling beeame preva- lent that the *Q’ road ought to be downed at any cost. This led to the dynamite conspira cics. The hopelessness of their cause then became apparcent, and the strikers scattered.

Arrest of the Man Who Committed the Phitadelphia Butchery. Prianereiny, Dee. 81.—The mystery sur rounding the finding of the mutilated ro mains of a murdered man in east Fairmount park Wednaesday has been solved, the corpse identified and the marderer placed in prison The motive for the deed was to obtain the monoy of the murdered man, but all that the murderer was known to have re- alized is §0. The ocorpse was identi fled as that of a German named Schil ling, who boarded iwith his partner, named Shroop, in & small grocery store. Shroop, when arrested, denied any knowledge of the murder. He made many conflicting state ments and after a night in a cell confessed the murder. Tho hatchet, axe and saw used by Shroop were found in the cellar of his house this morning covered with blood. They wore taken charge of by the police and will be preserved as evidence at the trial The body, either before or after life was ex- ct, was carried into the cellar, where it was evidently, judging from the clotted blood, allowed 'to remuin until the following morning, when, after having been cut to picces and piaced in bags,it was found in the park wooden floor with which a portion of the cellar is covered, is bloodstained in sev- sl places. Shroop's wife, who is pros- trated on nccount of her husband's arrest, is in custody as an accomplice. The murdercr was given a hearing before the magistrate to-day. He gave his name as Jacob Schroop, aged fifty-three yoars, and said he was born in Switzerland. “The police oficials testified to Sehroop having confessed the murder of Schilling, and the prisoner was then formally committed to await the ction of the coroner. Late this afternoon Chief Wood gave to the NOWSDADETS & copy of the confession made by Schroop, in which the latter says the name of the murdered man was Antonne Schilling, and that he killed him about 5 o'clock on the morning of Christmas day. He says he arose from bed about that hour and went to the kitehen to et some food for his wife, who was sick, On looking in_the cupboard he found no féod there and turning to Schilling, who was in the room, accused him of having eaten what had been'left iu the closet. Schilling denied having eaten the food and Schroop, becom- ing angered, knocked him down and beat him to death with a heavy picce of wood. He left the body until 5 o'clock in the after- noot, when he cut off the iegs and threw the body and severed logs mto the ceilar. Next moruing about 6 o'clock he hitched up his horae and wagon, and having placed the body in two bags he loaded the bags into the wagon and drove to the park and placed the bags in the pive, where they were found late the same day by somie boys,who were playing about the place. BRMrs. Schroop, wife of the confessed mur- derer, this afternoon removed to the alms-house. She is complotely prostrated by the shock, and, in addition, is suffering from the effects of cancer.

Burrell's study at Westminister church this morning and mude some New Year's resolutions of an interesting character. As usual the talk of the meeting was more or less informal, but it resulted in a decision to wage war upon the Sabbath breakers and strike for an era of better laws and better enforcement of existing statutes, All the phases of the question were touched upon, but of course the Sunday papers came in for a large share of the attention of the meeting. Dr. Burrell prepared a statement or resolution denounc- ing the Sun papers and calling upon the congregations” to abstain from patronizing them, and nearly all the ministers present aflixed their signatures. It was the senti ment of the clergymen that some more effective legislution was positively necessary and accordingly a move will be made in that direction.
