THE SLAUGHTER IS CoNFIRMED
Native Officer and Thirty five Sikhs Killed
 by Tribesmen.

Sir1la, Nov. 9.-The report that na- tive officer and thirty-five sikhs belong ing to the Kurram column had been in- tercepted by tribesmen in a ravine and slaughtered, is officially confirmed. They were assisting in a reconnaissance up the kurmana river. Taking short cut down hill they came to a ravine where the grass of the jungle was burn ing.
 The flames spread so rapidly and so completely cut off ther retreat and the tribesmen seing their predicament, swarmed on the higher ground, hurled down rocks upon them and closed round the men until the whole thirty-six were shot or cut down. The sikhs fought heroically until the very last, their officer killing two rebel chiefs with his own hands before he fell.

Lewiston, Me-, Nov. 9.-An Augusta special to the Journal says: A bill will be presented to the next legislature to punish sportsmen who accidentally shoot or kill men in the woods.

LISTENED TO EVERY WORD.
Thorn's Interest and Composure During
 Story of Crime,

New York, Nov. 9.-Punctuality seems to be the watchword of every one concerned in the trial of Martin Thorn for the alleged murder of Gull depsuppe. Promptly at 10 o'clock this morning District Attorney William J. Youngs. his assistants and the lawyers for the defence were in their places and the prosecutor began his opening ad- dress one minute later. Martin Thorn, handcuffed to Captain Methven and es- corted by constable, was brought into court a few minutes before.
 There was practically no change in Thorn's appearance, and while the chief prosecutor told the story of the crime from the peoples standpoint the pris- oner watched him closely and listened attentively to every word that passed

CHINESE COAL MINERS.

ported Into Illinois.
 Springfield, H., Nov. 9.-A remon- strance against allowing Chinese coal miners to be imported into the state for the purpose of mining coal at Will mington and other towns in place of the striking miners will be placed be- fore Governor Tanner in the name of the United Mine Workers of Illinois. The governor will also be asked to CO., operate with the state secretary of the Miners Federation in keeping out the coolie labor. State Secretary Ryan of the State Federation says that if the Chinese are set to work in the coak fields hloodshed will surely result and a riot be instigated over the importa- tion. If Governor Tanner refuses to interfere, Secretary Ryan says the mat ter will be carried to President McKin- ley.

A Slight Increase.

Mobile, Ala, Nov. 9.--The report for to-day shows slight increase in the number of new cases of yellow fever, the result of unusually warm weather experienced since the fourth day of the month.

FRIEND ADMITS CONFESSION.
He is Mrs. Nack's Counsel and Was Very
 Nervous

-'N-~--
 Nervous.
 New York, Nov. 9.-The Herald to- morrow will say: Emanuel Friend counsel for Mrs. Mack, was at the liar lem opera house last night. It was mo- ticed when he came into the lobby that he appeared nervous and excited His extreme nervousness caused comment, and he remarked casually that he had just come from a long interview with his client, Mrs. Mack. He sat half the play through, and on coming out said Mrs Mack has confessed. That is all can say-she has confessed and will go on the stand tomorrow against Thorn. I cannot talk about the matter any further. I have made a solemn prom ise of secrecy. There is no use of try ing to see me later-there is no use of trying to see any one else. Even MT. Howe does not know. The few others who do know are pledged to secrecy, as I am. I shall go home, disconnect my telephone and refuse to see any one or answer any questions. Mrs. Mack has made full confession-that's all can say"
 Regarding the alleged confession of Mrs. Mack the Herald will print the following interviews:
 District Attorney Rosalslly said: "I left MT. Youngs only ten minutes ago, and MT. Youngs knew nothing of the confession. 1 do not know how Mrs. Mack could have made the alleged con- fession. I have heard nothing about it. We are able to convict both Thorn and Mrs. Mack. We can do so beyond a doubt. However, if she has made the confession, 1t may have been to Mir. Friend. We are going on in the morn ing to prove our case in the usual way"
 William F. Howe, senior counsel for Martin Thorn said: This is atrocious. I had the most perfect defence ever presented In a court. I am utterly at a loss to understand how any lawyer, with the entire absence of evidence against her, could have sanctioned her making confession, for, assuming that the story be true, which I deny in so far as it may duplicate Thorn, if it does in any way, there was no evil dence in the possession of the district attorney to show that Mrs Mack was anything more than an accessory after the fact if Guldensuppe was killed in the way attributed

The District Of Columbia has more

this competition while New Mexico is
at the other extreme, with only one

would be very easy to show from these
interesting facts that Oklahoma is a
very sickly place, and New Mexico a
very salubrious one. 1t could also be
shown that New Mexico has no reputa-
