PELAGIC SEALING.
Little Possibility That It Will

OTTAWA (Ont.), Nov. 2l.-The reply
of the Canadian Government to the
proposition of the United States that
the Canadians should stop killing seals

GuLDENSUPPE MURDER.
THE TRIAL OF THORN NEAR
ING AN END.
Probability That the Case Will Go
to the Jury Not Later Than
Next Wednesday.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2I.-There is ev-
cry probability that the case of Martin
Thorn, on trial for the murder of Will
lam Guldensuppe, Will go to the jury
not later than Wednesday next, and
possibly Tuesday night. William F..
Howe, his lawyer, has promised to fin
ish his side of the case Monday.
Thorn will testify in his own behalf,
and accuse Mrs. Mack of killing Guild
ensuppe. Other witnesses for the de-
fense will probably be Mrs. Zeigler of
West Farms, of whom it is alleged Mrs.
Mack with Guldensuppe, wanted to
hire & house, the negotiations failing
because the house did not have a
sewer. and Herman Mack, Mrs. Mack s
husband.
1t is a question whether Mack will be
allowed TO testify against his wife
when she is put on trial for her life
1t is understood that after the defense
is closed Mrs. Mack will be called by
the prosecution on rebuttal, to repeat
her confession accusing Thorn of the
murder
District Attorney Youngs did not want
to put Mrs Mack on the stand. because
she made an unfavorable impression on
the jury al the first trial. when she re-
lated the details of the horrible crime
If Mrs. Mack be called again as a wit
ness for the State ii will be because the
District Attorney is compelled to take
this course to offset the statement of
Thorn when he charges her with the
killing
Mr. youngs says the reason he closed
the case for the State without calling
Mrs. Mack as a witness was because
in mis- opinion, the people had present
ed case strong enough to convict
Thorn without the woman's confession.
District Attorney Olcott Of New York
concurs in this opinion
The usual stories We're circulated to-
day that Mrs. Mack and Thorn were
about to break down, but Sheriff Dohl
says the prisoners are unchanged. ex-
cept they are both anxious to have the
trial ayer.
When Thorn's fate has been decided
Mrs. Nack's case will come UP. 1t is
generally supposed that she will he

THOUSANDS OF LIVES LOST.
THE PROPERTY DAMAGE WAS
APPALLING.
The Typhoon Which Swept Over
the Philippines Last Month Re-
suits in Great Disaster. .

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2l-The
typhoon which swept over the Philip
pine Islands on the 9th of October was
the cause of one of the worst disas-
ters that has been reported from the
Southern Ocean in many years, if not
in the history of that section of the
world. Thousands of lives We're lost,
including many Europeans, and the
damage to property was something ap-
palling.
Telegraphic advices concerning the
calamity have been very meager. The
difficulty of getting news from the
islands IS great at any time, and owing
to the remoteness of some of the prov
inces visited by the hurricane, full de-
tails of the storm did not reach Hong
kong until the 1st of November.
The steamer Gaelic, from the Orient
to-day, brought letters and papers
which contain reports of the ravages
of the tidal wave and the wind. Whole
towns We're swept or blown away.
Fully 200 Europeans were killed, and
it is estimated that 5000 natives per-
ished.
The storm first struck the islands at
the head of San Paula, in the Province
of Samara. 1t devastated the entire
southern portion of the island. and cut
off communication with the rest of the
world for two days. On the 18th the
hurricane reached Leyte. and struck the
capital at Tacloban with great fury
In less than half an hour the town was
a mass of ruins. The natives were
panic stricken, and tried to make their
way to clear ground. Four hundred of
them were buried beneath the debris of
wrecked buildings. and 100 corpses of
Europeans. We're recovered from the
ruins when the native authorities in
stituted a search for the dead.
Reports from the southern coast We're
received which claimed that score of

traders were blown ashore and their
crews drowned. The sea at Samoa

The Shakers abide by the spirit OF this
rule. Their words are few, simple, sin
cere and direct. They waste no energy
in idle talk: they use it in thinking and
doing. Ana whatever they do they do
with their might They are content with
nothing short of the essence and princi-
pie of The things they investigate. They
take pains sind are patient. And thus the
doors of many strange truths open to
them. In this way they discovered what
may almost be called the unity Of disease.

THE BROUGHTON-YOUNG COZ
TEST.

The taking of depositicns in this case
was continued by Justice Maroon at his
;office yesterday. 1t was q field day for
Droughton. The evidence disclosed the
fact that at Swift Greek precinct the
jedges Of election excluded from their
count and threw out two ballots cast for
Broughton because ON one ballot appear
ed ahe names of the candidates for JUS
tices of the Peace for Cary township,
and on the other the names of the can
didases for Justices OF the Peace from
Raleigh township. 1t further appeared
front the evidence that two ballots for
Brolfghton were excluded from the count
and Ihrown out at Apex, because two
township constables were voted for on
each sof them. The attorney for Mr..
Brougfton contended that the above bal
lots should have been counted for Brough-
ton, ,aTei in no way affected the validity Of
the b;tllot for member of the General
Assembly. That the election law in
prohibNing the voting for more candi-
dates taan there are offices to fill, applies
In the above cases only to the Offices of
Justice sof the Peace and constables and
that under a proper construction of the
law the ballots for such offices alone
would be involved and in no way affect
the baIaace Of the ticket. In fact, that
though goted for on the same piece OF
paper they are different ballots.
The evidence further disclosed the fact
that four. persons, convicted OF infamous
crimes voted for James Ell. Young. So
that Broughton gained by to-day's pro-
ceedings eight baAots, in addition to those
aaready reported. 1t seems 90 far, that
Droughton was elected by % or 30 ma
jority. The attorneys for Mr.. Brough-
ION expect to conclude their dispositions

viii in few days have an opportunity
