No trace whatever has been found of the Whitechapel mur-

derer, and so far as appears, he may go on killing an " unfor- tunate" a month for the next ten years. The newspapers have improved their sale this week by sensational stories of

new attempts, but so far as is known, there is nothing in any of them. In one case a woman was scratched in a lodging- house, and in another a woman was knocked down in a dark alley ; but in neither case was murder attempted, nor is there evidence to connect the assailant with the criminal who so successfully defies London. He is due again between December 7th and 9th.
