MRS. MACK cONFESsES
Story to This Effect Excites the Lawyers in the Case.
ATTY. FRIEND MAKES A STATEMENT
Pledged to Secrecy But Says Full Confession Has Been Made.

William F. Howe, Senior Counsel for Martin Thorn, Stamps the Thing as Atrocious-Had the Most Perfect De- fense Ever Presented In Court-At a Loss to Understand How Any Lawyer Could Sanction the Woman Making a Confession.
 New York, Nov. 9.-The Herald to- morrow will publish the following: Mrs Augusta Mack has made a full confess sion. She had until yesterday not ut- tered a single word that tended to in- criminate her. She had withstood the efforts made by the police to extort from her an admission that she had killed William Guldensuppe or that she had planned his death and lured him , to Woodside, l.. l., where Martin Thorn actually did the shooting.
 The woman had been subjected to the thirty-third degree by the police-to every known method of torment. She had been confronted with the horrid masses of flesh she had been coaxed and threatened. The promise of life had been held out to her as a reward for a few words that would surely re- suit in Thorn's execution. She had re- mained firm during her Imprisonment at police headquarters. At all hours of the day and night she had been be- sieged but she had kept her own coun- sel
 Now she confesses, by what direct in- fuence is not known. The story that Mrs. Mack has told and that she will be called upon to repea, 70 the jury is full of dramatic interest. She has de- scribed at great length her life with Guldensuppe in the little flat on Ninth avenue, near Thirty-four street. She quarrelled with him frequently after Thorn appeared upon the scene. Gul. densuppe was violent and abusive, anG to rid themselves of him she and Thorr determined to kill him. She induced him to go to Woodside 70 inspect cot tase which he had hired, as she tole him, to conduct her business as a mid wife. She sent him upstairs alone ant when she heard shots she knew tha Thorn carried out his promise. "r

SIDNEY IS ON TRTAE
For Killing Edward Long in Quarrel Over
 q Woman.

Bridgeport, Nov. 9.-The trial of Will liam E. Sidney, charged with the kill ing of Edward Long in Greenwich on the night of June S. was commenced to-day before the Fairfield county su- perior criminal court, Judge Milton A. Shumway presiding. Following the reading of the indictment Attorney Lynch, who appears for the defence, motioned that the witnesses be exclud- ed from the court room while the trial was in progress. He intimated that the detectives in the case had followed and bounded the witnesses in shameful manner, and he concluded that though 10th to make such motion, the impor- tance of the case seemed to warrant such an unusual proceedurs. The crime with which Sidney is charged was the outcome of a quarrel over a woman, in which Long and a dozen more companions became involv- ed. Long was found dying from bull let wound in the head, and the state expects to prove that Sidney was the last man seen with Long before the lat ter'S death

SOLD IN TITO HOURS.
All Tickets at Public Sale for Yale liar.
 ward Game.

ward NHnlc.
 Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 9.-The se- cret practice of the Harvard eleven this afternoon was distinctly encouraging. In spite of the sloppy condition of the field the playing was full of snap. The linemen were given a lot of practice in stopping kicks, and broke through re- peatedly on the second eleven's center. With a good probability of a west wind on Saturday, and an even chance of Yale's winning the toss, the importance of this part of the work is not to be un- derestimated. Captain Cabot was out in football clothes again to-day, and freshened up his knowledge of the sig nals. He will without doubt go into the game on Saturday.
 The public sale of tickets for the game was opened this morning. Two hours from the time the sale began every ticket was sold. It is safe to say that as a result of the unprecedented demand for seats thousands have been disappointed and thousands more have to consider themselves lucky with seats in the end stands.

MIND WITH VISIONARY PLANS.
What Defense is Trying to Show in the
 Kelley Case.

Court House, Dover, N. H., Nov. g. In a downpour of rain several hundred people wended their way to the Straf- ford county court house to witness the second days proceedings of the trial of Joseph Kelley who is charged with the wilful murder of Cashier Stickney of the Great Falls bank. The features of the days proceedings were the visit to Sommersworth at an early hour this morning and the presenting of evidence on the part of the state to the jury.
 Judging by the cross examination of Attorney Eagerly during the day it is evident that the counsel for the de- fence wish the witnesses for the state to characterize Kelley as schemer, whose mind overflowed with visionary plans. This day passed without a sin gle objection being raised to a question on either side.

President Young was authoried to establish an office in the business section of Washington for the transaction of league business and the Boston club was officially awarded the championship of 1897.
 The national executive board of arbi- tration then got together to dispose of matters unfinished at last nights ses- sion. The most important subject be- fore the board was the petition of the class A leagues for modification of the drafting clauses of the national agreement. The petition was present. ed and met with no opposition in the board, and it was decided that its pro- visions should be recommended to the National league for adoption.

from the lawyers lips Lawyer Howe greeted the accused man with warm handshake and said, Good morning. Martin" When the district attorney had finished his opening address both lawyers, Howe and Moss, and Emanuel Friend, who represents Mrs. Nacks ln- terests, all agreed that the district at torney had promised to prove great many things which he would find to be an impossible task. Twenty witnesses were summoned for examination to-day and the district attorney took them one by one just as the finding of the differ ent portions of the body opened up to the public the fact that terrible crime had been committed.
 The first witnesses were the two boys who, while swimming in the East rlV- CT, had found the upper portion Of the severed trunk, and then followed the policemen who were called to the scene of the finding, and they in turn were followed by witnesses who testified to the bringing of that part of the body to the morgue. The discovery of the low CT part of the trunk, from which the legs were severed half way between the thighs and knees, was then taken up, and every person who handled it until it was deposited with the morgue keep CT was examined and each in turn iden- tified the paper, oilcloth and cheese cloth in which the part was wrapped.
 The rest of the day was taken up by the description of those who found and inspected the bundle found floating at the Brooklyn navy yard, and the carry ing of these limbs was traced from the navy yard coal dock to the New York morgue at Bellevue hospital. Then the morgue keeper testified to the accuracy of several photographs which he said were true representations of the DOT tions of the body which are now in glass jars, preserved for the identifica- tion, in the morgue. Lawyer Howe made several objections to the photo graphs being admitted as evidence and insisted that the parts still in the morgue keepers possession should be produced in court. Judge Smith, how ever, overruled Lawyer HoWe's objec- tionS.

NOT SEEKING 4 PRETEXT. Spain Would Consider War With United
 States a Misfortune.

Madrid, Nov. 9.-In response to a cable message from a non-official ad- ministtation source, Senor Sagasta, the premier has sent the following cable declaration through Senor Dupuy De Lome, the Spanish minister at Wash ington: ....
 ''So far from seeking a pretext to de- claring war against the United States, Spain would regard it as a great mis- fortune to be given the occasion for such an unhappy solution. Animated as she is by the most amicable senti- ments toward the great republic, Spain hopes of America that the latter will do it's utmost to fortify sentiments of friendship for the sake and welfare of both countries, while at the same time respecting the rights of Spain.

MII.ITIAMEN UNDER ARREST
MEMBERS OF COMPANY BGUILTY OF
 SERIOUS INSUBORDINATIO

At the Regular Drill They Refused to
 Armory Rules-Capt. Houlihan Placed
 Guards at Each Exit-ColoneI Sheridan
 Ordered the len to Fall In.
 Bridgeport, Nov. 9-Company B of the Fourth regiment met tonight and serious opposition to General Haven's order, forbidding use of the company's rooms for social purposes, was mani fested. Tonight was the regular drill night of the company and all the mem- bers, with very few exceptions, were in attendance. However, when Captain Houlihan had the roll called only a few members responded. Captain Houlihan then spoke to the men of serious re- suits of insubordination and warned them of the consequences. As the men seemed determined not to respond to the roll call, Captain Houlihan had guards stationed at each exit and plac- ing Lieutenant George D. Shelton in command hastily sought out Colonel Sheridan. 6
 When Colonel Sheridan arrived he at once ordered the company to form in line on the floor, and announced that they were under arrest. After the men formed in line Colonel Sheridan stated that in his thirty years experience as a member of the Connecticut National Guard he never witnessed such flag rant breach of discipline and notified the company that each one of the members who was guilty of the insub- ordination would be fined $10 or else, in accordance with the statutes, they would have to spend a term in jail to work out the fine. The summary man. ner in which the members of the com- pany were dealt with must have given many of them better conception of military discipline.
 Captain Houlihan expressed himself as regretting the occurrence very much, as it would have tendency to cast ill., repute on his company, which hereto fore stood among the front ranks. Col onel Sheridan when seen with refer ence to the matter would say but little, though he stated that even if he did not approve of the order, he was too old soldier to criticise, and that it was essential to all military men to know that the first requisite was to obey the orders of their officers,
