ter to Senator Allison suggesting the

has determined not to recommend any
further legislation whatever at the
present session of congress, but will
gladly agree to adjournment imme-
diately after the tariff bill is enacted.

to one of the guy ropes, and was car

Extra Meeting of tho Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, July President Nc
Kinley Tuesday night called a special
meeting of the cabinet for Wednesday.
The regular meeting would not have
occurred until Friday and there were
some matters it was desired to give
early consideration. 1t is understood
that one matter under consideration
was the sending of message to con-
gress on the currency question and
another the tariff bill, and the advisa-
bility of recommending any changes
in it before it passes-to the conference
stage.
After discussion lasting over one
hour the cabinet Wednesday decided
that the president should send to con-
gress message recommending legis-
lation providing for a commission to
adjust the currency question of the
country. 1t was resolved that this
message should be sent to congress
Thursday providing that the tariff bill
is by that time passed by the senate
1t is the expectation of the president
that the subject will receive the atten-
ton of congress during the present
extra session of congress. The mes
sage itself is written and is short. It's
principal feature is a quotation of the
presidents inaugural address on the
financial subject. The tariff bill was
not considered at the meeting Wednes-
day except in its bearing on the cur.

MAFYlN THORN,

Suspected of the Murder OF Guidsu-
suppe, Arrested-He Made Confess
sion 80 Gartha. Friend of His.
New YORK, July s.-The capture OF
Martin Thorn, who is suspected of the
murder of Guldensuppe, and the state
ments of his friend, Gartba, who be.
trayed him, are rapidly clearing up
the mystery.
Inspector Stephen OBrien, chief of
the detective bureau has made public
a confession which he says Thorn
made to a friend. The inspector re-
fused to tell the name of the man to
whom Thorn confessed, but it is pre-
sumably the bar Der, John Gartha, who
was with Thorn when the latter was
arrested.
Thorn said that on Friday morning
Mrs. Mack and Guldensuppe went to
the house, No. 346 Second street,
Woodside, L. l. Thorn had concealed
himself in a closet in the upper part of
the house.
Mrs. Mack asked Guldensuppe to go
upstairs and look through the house
while she went into the yard. He did
SO and stepped near the closet in
which Thorn was concealed.
Thorn quietly opened the door with
in a foot of his head and fred his re-
volver. The gun was within an inch
of his head. AS Guldensuppe fell
Thorne went downstairs and met Mrs.
Mack as she came in from the yard.
He said that he had shot Guldensuppe.
She replied that she had heard the
shot.
He told her to go away and come
back at 5 o'clock. He then went up
stairs and dragged the body to the
bathtub. Thorn said that Gulden-
suppe was dying as he was dragged to
the bathtub.
Thorn then took a razor and cut
Guldensuppe's throat, and followed it
by severing the head from the body.
Then Thorn dismembered the other
parts of the body. He had brought two
pounds of plaster of paris with him.
He rolled the head in the plaster for
the purpose of making it heavy.
After he had completed this, he said
he was sorry that he had not shaved
the murdered mans mustache off, The
head was afterward thrown in the
river.
Mrs. Mack came back at five o'clock,
and by that time the body had been
cut up in portions. They took it away.
That ended Inspector O'Brien's story
of the confession, but ne added that in
Thorn's room, at No. 325 East Twenty
fifth street, the police found the va
lise and clothing which had been taken
from Mrs. Nack's house by two boys.
The clothing is presumably that which
belonged to Guldensuppe.
Thorn was arraigned in jefferson
police court Wednesday morn
ing and remanded at the request of
the police until Thursday.
New YORK, July 8.-Acting Inspector
OBrien thinks he knows where Thorn
dropped the head of Guldensuppe into
the river, and says he is going to ar
range for the dragging of the river at
that point Wednesday afternoon He
also says that Thorn. in his confess
sion to a FRIEND said that he had been
in the house at Woodside,
as the drain from the bath tub instead
of running into a sewer ran into a
ditch outside the house
