Wisconsin and Indiana were the states represented to-day at General Har/ison's reception. The Wiscon sin voters came from Madison and Janes- ville ana were received by General Harrison in Tomllr.son's hall. He spoke as follow- * : "My Wisconsin nnd my Indiana friends : These gi eat daily manifestations interest the great masses of our people In the principles presented by the republican party , nnd arc to me increasingly impressive. 1 am glad to-day fiat Indiana has nn opportunity to welcome n delegation from the magnificent Btnto of 'vlsconsln. [ Cheers. ] It offers n li' .tig upiwrtuiiity to acknowledge my pcr.ional obligation nnd the obligation of the Indiana republicans for the early und constant support which Wisconsin gave to the efforts of the Indiana delegation In the Chicago convention , [ Piolonged cheers. ) To-day two states , not contiguous in terri tory but touching in many Interests , arc met to cxprc'is the fact that these great electoral contests affect all our people. It is not alone in the choice of presidential electors that we have common interests. Our national con- Kress , though chosen in separate districts , legislates for all our people Wisconsin has n direct Interest that thu ballot shall be free nnd pure In Indiana ; and Wisconsin and In diana have a dlnvt interest that the ballot shall bo free and pure in nl ) states. [ Great cheering. ] Therefore , let no man say that it is none of your busi ness how the elections are conducted in other states. [ Cheers. ] I believe that this great question of n fiee ballot , so much disturbed bynee questions in the south , would bo set tled this year if the men of the south who bclle\c with us upon the great question of prelection o. " American Industries would throw off the old prejudices and vote their convictions upon Unit question. [ Cheers nnd cries of "Good , " "Good. " ] 1 believe there nro indicatiuiib that tbo independent man hood of the south will this year strongly manifest itself in this direction. "Those intelligent and progressive citizens of the south who nro seeking to build up within their own states diversified industries will not much longer be kept in bondage to the traditions of days when the south was wholly a community of planters. When they assert their belief In a protective tariff by Bupporting the party that advocates that policy , the question of a free uallot , so far as it is a southern question , will be settled for ever. For they will have the power to in sist that those who believe with them shall vote , and that their votes shall bo counted. " [ Applause. ] General Harrison then shook hands as usual with thu crowd. Extensive preparations nro being made by the republicans for a great state rally on the llth , when Mr. Morton , Senator Sherman , Mr. Blninp , Chauncey M. Dcpew , General Hove.v , Governor Foraker , General Gibson and others nro expected here. Lincoln league clubs from all sections of the state h will be present , and the committee of ar rangomcnts representing the republican state committee announce that the demonstration will be conducted on n scale never before at tempted outside of New York City. Jo.wett'H Proposition Declined. INDIANAPOLIS , Oct. 5. Ancnt the propo sition of Chairman Jcwctt , of the demo cratic state committee , to Chairman Huston , of the republican committee , that each should name forty-five members ami the pro hibitionists ten members to constitute a committee of 100 , whose duty It shall bo to prevent illegal voting , Chairman Huston to day makes n reply to Chairman Jcwctt , wherein ho says ; "You are doubtless aware that there Is now existing n committee of 100 , which i : non-partisan m its character. Being alreadj organized nnd having had valuable expert enco in the work it was organized to accomplish , it can certainly bo more effective than any now committee that might bo formed nt this time. With the con sent and hearty approval of our committee I have forwarded to the treasurer of this com mittee my check for$500 , which sum shall bo expended under their direction in giving re wards for the apprehension of any persons violating the election laws of this state. The republicans are now , and ever have been , in favor of an honest ballot and a fair count , " } 3. P. Shcerin , secretary of the national democratic committee , in an Interview this evening touching Chairman Huston's re sponse , said * "I regard Chairman Huston's reply as n most extraordinary one , and a public dcelara lion that the managers of the republican campaign are not only not in favor of an lion cst election but absolutely opposed to it. It is untrue that this committee is made uu equally of democrats nnd 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 Jcwett's letter , dumped 1500 of the republican campaign fund into the treasury of this local commit tee Is proof positive that his intentions nro to make it n convenient excuse for a refusal to enter into organization for the enforcement of the law without fear or favor. " The Old Knmnn'N Tour. \ViiEuuxo , OcU 5. Judge Thurman nnd party left Columbus quietly , nnd until Bcll- uiro was reached at 5 o'clock there was no attempt at demonstration , only n lew people about the different depots being aware of the Judge's arrival. However , at Bcllalro a couple of hundred enthusiastic democrats with a band to help to give expression to their enthusiasm had assembled on thu plat form to greet their chosen candidate. As the train pulled through the v cheered heartily while the Judcc stood in the door and bowed Ills acknowledgement of their greeting. At Benwood , on the West Virginia side of the river , n number of railroaders and others were ready with their greetings. When Wheeling was reached a crowd of over one thousand , with fireworks and onn- danas , gave a hearty greeting to the judee. The Judge spoke briefly , expressing tils sin cere thanks for the reception. When the train reached Pittsburg a crowd was waiting to meet the Judge. After some persuasion the Judge stepped out , and after three cheers had been given for htm , thanked the crowd for the reception. Ho then retired , and in a few minutes the tram started for Washington , BUino Slightly Indisposed. OKTKOIT , Oct. 5. In consequence of a slight cold and hoarseness which developed since his speech in the open air at Adrian yesterday , Blalno determined this morning to give up his trip to East Saglnaw and Ishpemmg.

Dodge's Story of the .Malay Snilor Generally Discredited. [ CnpirfyMfvSS liu Jnmti fioiifcm fiennctt.1 LONDONOct. . 5. [ New York Herald Cable Special to TIIK Bii.l : The perpc- rater of the Whitcchapol murders is still at argo and no clue hab been discovered likely o lead to his capture. No further arrest of anyone has been made and nothing new has ranspired in relation to the matter. The cx < itement in the neighborhood of the murders ind terrible exploits shows no diminution in ntcnsity. It has been ministered to all day by n scries of rumors , particularly of 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 n police circles and immediately on receipt of a copy of the cablegram , detectives were sent to make inquiries nt the Glen Line iteamship company nnd 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 , manager and superintendent of the Asiatic homo , stated that ho had been nt the homo for thirty years and had never known a Malay of the name Alaska. "Malays , " ho said , "are Mohamme- ilnns and do not use European names , but the word lascar is the Mohammedan name for n seaman nnd 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 homo has made his name well known in the far cast , and such is the confidence which ho inspires that Asiatic arc in the habit of depositing their money with him. Most of the men who liave lodged at the home lately have used it for years whenever their ships nro in London , but recently a crew of Japanese sailors had lodged there ana Mr , Freemen admitted that one of these men was n dcspnrato character , for upon ono occasion ho stabbed three of his comrades who wcro 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 , where Dodge states ho met Alaska , is most luxuriously fitted up in a 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 nnd Henry Pierce , who look after the boxes In which sailors returned from a voyage usuallj disport themselves. Botli 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 Wolin , 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 cither of Dodge or the Malay. Messrs. McGregor , Son & Co. , owners of the Glen line of steamers , trading to Singa pore , China , etc. , stated that the Glcnarchy sailed In April from London to China and re turned on August 14. After taking on a cargo at Antwerp she again sailed for China on September 8 , nnd was lost reported on September 3 at Suez. They have no ono named Alaska on board. The chief cook of the Glcnarchy is a thoroughly respectable Chinaman who has been in the service of the firm for many years , and they have had no Malays on the ships. It is the general opinion that the story of the seaman at New York is a yarn. The London Pollen Myntlflcd. LONDON , Oct. 5. The chief of the metro politan police force has decided to employ bloodhounds in his efforts to discover the perpetrator of the Whitcchapel murders. The police ploco confidence in the story of the seaman who states that in August last ho met n Malay COOK named Alask in Musio hall in I-onclon , and that Alask told him that ho had been robbed of all he had by a woman of the town , and threatened that unless ho found Uio woman and recovered the property ho would kill and mutilate every Whitechapcl woman ho met. The police are searching everywhere to ? the Malay. PilNtcur'H Method u HUCCCHV. SVDNBV. Oct. 5.

[ Special Telegram toTiu : BEE. ] In addition to this being the closing day of the Dodge county fair it has also been a glorious occasion for Nebraska's democracy. The city is Jam full of people democrats who came to participate in the rally of the clubs of the democratic state league , and hundreds of republicans who also came to see the pyrotechnic display and hear the free trade orators deliver their orations tions on the subject , "Tho Condition Which Confronts Us. " There arc probably 5,000 strangers in the city to-night. The business men have been preparing for the demonstra tion for several day , and their stores pre sent a holiday appearance , gaudily bedecked with llags-and bunting , Chinese lanterns nnd portraits of the candidates of the democratic party. At the intersections of the principal business streets banners bearing var ious inscriptions nvo fluttering in the breeze , while a string of Chinese lanterns are suspended across the streets in the op posite direction. Souio of the inscriptions are as follows : "Fremont Welcomes Her Guests ; " "Tho Democratic Party is the Friend of the Laboring Man and the Farmer ; " "Cleveland , Thurinan and Vic tory. " The Fremont Cleveland and Thurinan club engineers the blow out. Their reception committee has been very busy nil day and tneir guests have been welcomed in royal style. The loc.il Cleveland and McShano 7ouavcs , with their attrac live uniforms , have acted as escort for the visiting clubs. The Hist delegation ciiinc in bcfoie noon from W ahoo. Hy dark the whole town was ablaro and the heavens resplendent with the glare of colored lights , it is but Just to say that Fremont never witnessed such n glittering dcmonstiation. Large delegations came from Ccresco , Lincoln , Columbus , Cedar Uluffs , North Hend , Hooper , Senbner and other towns. The delegation from Omaha did not arrive until Sttt : ) . The procession was already lormed and had been awaiting the Omaha delegation's arrival for more han an hour. When they came the parade began , and there was marching nnd counter inarching on the principal streets until 10:30. : There were 1'JdO or lr > 00 uniformed men in line , with bands of musiu and scores of transparencies and banners. During the parade - rado tnoro than 1,000 worth of llreworks con tributed to the grand spectacular display. It being too cold to address the crowds in the open air , the speech milking booked for two or three halls in tbo city was a secondary feature , and in most cases entirely abandoned in favor of the street display. The demo crats arc feeling good over the results of the rally. Heal Out ol'the Race. GIHFTOX , Neb. , Oct. 3. To the Editor of TIIEHIE : : Now that the senatorial muddle in this district is adjusted , it is to be hoped that you and your Lincoln correspondent will ccaso 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. Keckloy bolted the convention and said that ho would run independent and would bo elected , regardless of the nets of said con vention , and after those avowals and threats to the York county man who voted for me , that ho was a Judas and could not live in York county afterwards , they intimidated him to vote for Mr. 1C. , after the Fillmore delegates had withdrawn. Mr. Harlau admitted that I got eleven votes to Mr. K.'s ten on the first ballot , ami that ho so announced it. The York men all admit that their delegation were uninstructcd , and I knew several of them longer and better than Mr. 1C. But , sir , is It usual , is it sensible , to nominate u party that bolts a convention and announces in that bo < iy previous to said nomination that ho dcllcd its acts , and further to the in vestigating committee at Lincoln refused to support mo if decided in my favor , after I had declared to suppoit him if decided in his favor. And. sir , your Lincoln correspond ent , in yesterday's dailv , sa\s that this act of his was manly and honorable. Where does this creature get his code of manliness and honor from it ? Must bo from bis weak self. I am now out of the race. Kespcctfully , P. S. HKAL. Van AVyck Answers "A Fanner. " OJID , Neb. , Oct , 5. [ Special to THU HUE. ] Hon. C. II.

The speaker said ho would answer the questions if the audience desired , but as ho always avoided political discussions on such occasions ho would not refer to them unless requested to by the audience. At cries of ' 'Go on , " the speaker continued , touching the tariff merely to state the attitude of the two parties on that question. He expressed himself as of the opinion that the railroads were still in politics , und severely criticised Secretary of State Laws for his change ot front on the railroad rate schedule order.

The Measure to Ho Called Up on Mon day A Humor Thnr the President Will Hccoinmcnd the Pnsungo of the Senate Tariff Bill. Angry Hcpuhllcnnfl. WASUINCITON DUUEAU THE OMAHA ! > EE. ) 513 FOUHTEUNTII STIIEET. } WASHINGTON , D. C. , Oct. 5. ) There ore some very angry republicans in Washington to-night. After the republican nirty endorsed in Its platform nt Chicago the Jill to corporate the NlcarauKUiin Canal com- : > any , an enterprise which would be of great credit to the United States as a nation , and winch private parties propose to carry out without any federal financial assistance , the democrats In congress organised in opposition to it ami fought the measure. Its growing popularity , however , induced them to with draw their objections nnd now the democrats are trying to secure some of the republican popularity by supporting the bill. The neasuro was culled up in the house four or five times this week , nnd would have been > asscd had it not been for the opposition of Representative Fuller of Iowa. All of : he democratic opposition was withdrawn this afternoon in the house and Mr. Fuller alone stood out against the bill , although n ot of republicans begged him to desist. H is stated the basis of Mr. Fuller's objection is that ho understands the projectors of the canal propose to give the democratic national committee a large contribution for Inducing .he democrats in the house to withdraw their objection , but I have it on good authority that there is no truth in the report. The resident of the company is the president of : ho Garllold National bank , of New York , and is one of the most substantial .suppottcrs of the republican party in the country. It Is auiaring why Mr. Fuller continues to object to this bill. LINCOLN TO HE A TOUT OF ENTIIT. It was arranged with Speaker Carlisle this afternoon that ho will recognise Mr. Kice , of Minnesota , on next Monday to call up the bill making Lincoln a port of entry. There is little if any doubt that the bill will be passed on Monday. OKLT A Ill'MOll. There was n rumor very prevalent to-day to the effect that Mr. Cleveland is contem plating the preparation of a message recom mending the passage of the senate tariff bill. The rea on alleged for this recommendation Is that the measure , although , in his opinion , not as good a bill as the Mills bill , is better than none nt all , and that it would prevent the further accumulation of the surplus. Moreover , the senate tariff bill could cer tainly bo passed if supported by both parties , which will certainly never occur to the Mills bill , because of the republican opposition. This rumor gained considerable credence , but there can be no truth in it. Mr. Cleve land has expressed to several leading democrats his unalterable opposition to any tariff meoaura which doe * not include free . .wool. .Ho stated to Me. Bynum , of Indiana , arii ) Mr. McMillan , of Tennessee , well Known members of the ways and means 'committed , , 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 bufely inferred that should the pres ent senate bill pass the house an event not at nil improbable Mr. Cleveland would promptly veto It , for this bill certainly does not repeal tno duty on wool.

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 completced by which on Mondaytho8th inst. , a new fast mail , east and west , be tween New York and St. Louis will po into operation. The new western train will leave New York at 7:40. : eastern time ; Philadel phia. 1 o'clock p. m. , eastern time , nnd arrive at Pittsbun ? at 8:30 : a. m. , eastern time , a gain of ono 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 pointH in Pennsylvania and Ohio , and an earlier carrier delivery will be se cured for the Pittsburg city mail. Under the present schedule it is found impossible to deliver afternoon mails from New Yorn nnd Philadelphia for Pittsburg before the after noon deliveries , while an arrival at 1:30 : o'clock a. m. willadmitof complete deliveries in the forenoon. Under the old schedule it was impossible to connect but very few of the departing 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 leaveSt. . Louis at 8:10 : a. m. , central time , arrive at Pittsburg at 12:50 : a.m. , eastern time , and New York at 4 p. m. , eastern time.

A Jtcport IsHitcd Ity n Ijcadlng Com- Firm of Chicago. Oct. 5. Mallory & Sons , one of the leading hog receiving commission firms , lave issued their annual ciop report on hogs , cattle and corn , in which they say : Although we will have nu immense corn crop , there will be a shortage on old hogs , which are always shipped during what is known as the "packing season. " Heports dc- lote that the bulk of the supply of packing hogs will bo shipped to market later than usual at least u month or six weeks. Whore ono jear ago the reports showed that the bulk ol hogs would come to market in No vember , December and January , the reports this season invariably say December , Jan uary and later. The cause of this scarcity of packing hogs is duo to two features ; that tanners all through the west lost a largo per centage of their spring hogs through cold , wet weather , sickness , etc. , and that those which wcro saved , together with the older liogs , have been forced to market on account } f the high prices of corn at homo and the high prices which have been paid for hogs during the last three months. Late pigs will not begin to come forward until the first of January , end the bulk of them will not reach the market till late iu the spring and summer. The number of cattle to be fattened shows an increase of fully ten per cent. W ° should have extra good beef at rensonably low. . price * tvtkmg the coatlog ye r. Tno crop of corn speaks for Itself and meeds no comment. Dakota shows fall xm > p of old hogs and pigs. Michigan shows a' full crop of pigs. Leaving out Dakota ana Mich igan , tha balance of the list shows a total shortage of old hogs of 24 per cent , and on shoats of about 1\X \ per cent. Iowa and Illi nois together show n decrease of 25Ji per cent on old hogs and Hi ) , per cent on shoats. The percentages are made from the most reliable reports received from 341S counties , embracing the hog producing territories In the states of Illinois , Iowa , Nebraska , Wis consin , Kansas , Missouri , Indiana , Minnesota seta , Michigan and Dakota.

One-third of Chicago vill bo without street car facilities to-mor- ow morning , nnd within twenty-four hours nothcr third of the city will be in the sumo iredlcatnent. President Yerkcs , of the S'orth Chicago company , to-night , after vccks of temporizing , finally refused the uo- nand of the employes nnd afterwards do- 'lined peremptorily to accept nn invitation rom the men to arbitrate. All the north , Ide employes , r > 50 in number , will then-fore , iccording to their publicly announced pro < Tiunme. strike at 0 a. m. Interviews to-night with repre entntivc < j f b&O employes of the company on tin : west side show that they will strike probably be- 'ore the ensuing midnight , in order , if pos- ilble , to cripple the entire Ycrkes system and > ring him quickly to time. The grievance ! if the north side men , as stated by them , is hat they are , for no apparent reason , paid onsiderably less than the wcstsidcrs , and , icsides , have their hours of duty so split up hat the amount of sleep required by the iverago human being cannot be had without ntcrruption. The meeting that/ decided thu strike was icld to-night between Mr. Yerkes and a committee representing the men. Mr Ycrkes nsisted at the outset that all communication between himself and the committee should ) C in writing. The committee were given a room to themselves , nnd wet o handed a doc- iment from Yerkes declining to entertain my revision of hours that would at all in- crcaue the company's expense account , The ncn's other proposition , asking an increase of salary in addition to the revision of hour ; ) , was rejected wholly , as were other minor propositions , especially one relating to pay ment by the hour instead of by the day. The committee drew up a reply offering to submit the whole subject to two arbitrators from each side , the four to choose a fifth. The committee offered to wait until mid night for nn answer to this , but Mr. Yerkea cut up a curt negative considerably bofora : ho hour named. The committee then with- Ircw , and almost at the same moment the ilrbt installment of men being imported by Mr. Ycrkes from other cities to fill the iilnces of strikers arrived nt the union depot from Philadelphia. There were twcnty-nvo in the party that stepped from the train , and they brought word that 125 more were to arrive in the morning. They had been In the employ of the Yerkcs syndicate on its lines in Philadelphia. Unlike the Chicago men , few of them , if any , arc Knights of Labor. They worked in Philadelphia on the system for which sub stantially the Chicago men are striking , but t is not generally believed that this will cut anv material figure with the newcomers. , Great preparations have been made by the strikers to provide omnlbugesexpre ( wagons and other conveyances for the public , and iho sights on the streets in the morning , when something like a .quarter of a million. of peoplgtpatronUe these vehicle * and side- lkt , are expected lo bcfof hemostplo- fcflue order.
