about the probability Of the election
Of Horace G.. Burt. third vice presiden,
Of the Northwestern, to the Union Pa
cific presidency. Those who predict
Burt's election argue that President
Hughitt wants to take care of H. r,
Mccullough. general traffic manager OF
the Northwestern, by making him third
vice president to succeed Mr.. Burt.
Edwin w. Winter. formerly president
Of the Northern Pacific. is still named
by those very familiar with railroad
matters OF an executive nature. They
predict the election of Mr.. Winter either
as president Of the reorganized Union
Pacific. or as chairman of the board OF
directors. The lists are filled with a
half dozen candidates, and in order OF
reasonable probability they seem to run
like this:
Edwin w. Winter, Horace G.. Burt,
Edward Dickinson, William H. Trues,
dale and Oliver w. Mink.
Mr.. Burt returned to the city this aft
ernoon in Company with General Super
intendent Brikerhoff Of the Kansas Pa,
cifc. The two had just completed an
inspection Of the Kansas Pacific line,
having gone over it all the way from
Kansas City to Denver.

RESIGNED TO HIS FATE
He Has No Appetite But a Load is on
His Mind

New York. Dec. MARTIN Thorn,
who last evening received the verdict
Of the jury which will send him to the
electrical chair to .expiate the murder
of William ~Guldensuppe, passed a quiet
night in his cell at the Queens county
Jail,
When Sheriff Dohl went in to see
Thorn this morning the condemned
prisoner said he had no appetite for
breakfast, but he felt that a big load
was OF his mind. Thorn did not talk
as If he had any hope of getting a new
trial He supposed, he said, that he
would have to make up his mind to
meet the worst.
Mrs. Mack spent a restless night, be-
ing evidently much affected by the con-
viction of Thorn.
When she heard of the verdict she
wept and expressed sorrow for her
former lover. although she says her
conscience is relieved. Mrs. Mack Is in
a highly nervous condition and is now
very anxious about her own case. Dis,
trict Attorney Young has not announce
ed just what he proposes doing in the
case OF Mrs. Mack, but says he will
take no action until after Thorn is sen,
fenced.
1t is understood that Mrs. Mack will
be arraigned in court next week, when
her counsel. Emanuel Friend. will, in
her behalf. enter a plea of guilty o.
manslaughter in the first degree, and
that the district attorney will accept
the plea. In doing this Mr.. Young
would be recognizing Mrs. Nack's ac-
ton in turning states witness at the
first trial. Mrs. Mack may be sentenced
to 20 years Imprisonment.
Lawyer Howe today denied in strong
terms the statement that Thorn, after
his conviction yesterday, confessed to
the killing and ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Gul,
densuppe. Mr.. Howe reiterated his be-
lief that the court of appeals would re-
verse the verdict
Police Captain Methven of Long Isl
and City said: There are some dis.
~crepancies in the published report of
Thorn's confession, but the main facts
remain unchanged. Thorn made part
of the confession to me and part to
Sheriff Dohl. From what Sheriff Dohi
has told me I can tr%uthfully say that
Thorne confessed that he killed Gull
%densuppe."

PACIFIC TALK
MANY DEMONSTRATIONS AS TO
THE NEW OFFICIALS OF
THE COMPANY
1t is Believed by Some That Many
Changes Will Be Made-Winter Ia
Prominent for President-Mr.
Clarke Was Tenedered the Position
But Vas Compelled to Decline.

st. Louis, Dec. Mr.. S. H. H. Clark,
one Of the receivers of the Union Pa
cific, today announced that he had been
offered the presidency of that company
by the reorganization committee, but
that owing to Ill health, he had refused
the position.
Rumors which have been circulated
yer since the Union Pacific was bought
in by the reorganization committee
were set at rest today by the announce
ment that S. H. H. Clark had declined
the presidency of that road. For some
time Mr.. Clark refused to deny or con-
firm the rumors, and every effort was
made by the management to get him to
accept the position.
Today he announced that his decision
was final. Ill health. due to the heavy
work imposed on him for many years,
is the reason given for his refusal to &C
cept the presidency.
Mr.. Clark sewers all connection with
the Union Pacific and will remain in
81. Louis. 1t Is not known whether he
will return to the Missouri Pacific, OF
which he was vice president and gen.
eral manager for many years.

GERMANY'S
They Are Made Public for the First
Time.

Washington. Dec. 1.-The exact de-
mands of Germany on :Hayti became
known for the first time today. The
details came by way Of a steamer from
Port Au Prince. which arrived at New
York yesterday and shows the demand
to be as follows:
First-An idemnity Of 20. 900 Ameri.
can dollars for Emil Lueders.
Second-A promise that Lueders may
return to Hayti and there ~sojourn with
out danger of any kind.
Third-A letter to my government in
which you will express an apology for
your proceedings toward the German
government in the whole transaction.
Fourth-That the president of Hayt,
shall g%raciously receive the German
charge d'affairs at Port Au Prince.
1t was also announced that II in
demnity was not given a warship would
be sent or diplomatic relations would
be broken.
Without answering the demands in
detail, Hayti asked if Germany, by
presenting this demand. intended to
close negotiations in Lueder's case and

also for what an apology was asked.
The money demanded was regarded by
Hayti as far less than the other three
which were considered as affecting
Hayti's honor. The demand that tho
president receive Count Schwerin
graciously was looked upon as involv-
ing deep humiliation, as it was this
official who had gone before the presi-
dent and rudely submitted his de-
mands. 1t was this fourth demand
which led Hayti to prepare for one

On n point Mr.. Gompers was very
emphatic.
He thought that no extension what.
ever should be granted to any railroad
that had paid dividends since the law
was passed.
Mr.. Clark. representing the Chicago
Great Western. said that his company
could not afford and had not the facil-
tiles to equip the unequipped ears with
couples within a year. There were
about 5000 of these.
What were the earnings of your
road last year," asked Commissioner
Prouty.
Over $4,000. 900"
Why could not the road a~pDlys6O.-
900 next year to equipping its cars with
couplers?"
1T would not be economical" re-
piled Mr. Clark.
Commissioner Knapp asked If the
commission granted an extension for
n year, with the understanding that
one-fifth of the cars should be equipped
in that period, and there should be de-
fault. whether there would not be the
same practical difficulty to face as ex-
lists now. Mr.. Cowen replied in the
affirmative and insisted that the COM
mission must allow sufficient time.
To grant two years extension, for
instance, he said, with the absolute GER
tainty hat the roads could not comply,
would be a continuous invitation to the
railroads to default. The hearing was
adjourned until tomorrow.

HE GOT JUDGMENT.
But Hereafter Letter Carriers Must
Only Work Eight Hours.

New York, Dec. IA dispatch from
Washington says: Aaron H. Post, a
letter carrier of Salt Lake City, recent
ly sued the government under the
eight-hour law for overtime and a de-,
cision was rendered in favor Of Post.
The government appealed to the United
States supreme court. The highest
court has affirmed the finding.
The suit of Post and the decision of
the supreme court opened the way for
the beginning of suits to collect claims
of a similar character. a%ggregating a
very large sum.
Washington. Dec. by order of As
sistant Postmaster General Heath it
has been made an ofense punishable
by dismissal from the service for a let
ter carrier to work more than eight
