A Jury Selected and the Taking of rssti-
 mony Begun.

A Jury Selected and the Taking of resti-
 mony Begun.
 New York, Nov. 24.-The second trial of Martin Thorn for the murder of Will liam Guldensuppe, the bath rubber. Is fairly under way in the Queens county court at Long Island City before Jus tice Maddox. The lawyers for the pros- tcution and defense diligently endeav- ored to secure a jury as quickly as possible. and as a result the following were selected with but little delay: Thomas Morse. carpenter. Corona: Ja- cob M. Weeks, farmer, Bayside; George w. Cox, Jr., a mason. Sea Cliff; Will liam w. Hatfield, farmer. Hollis: Well lington Germond. carpenter, Hollis; John s. Dorlon, a farmer, Woodfield; Louis Fischer. carpenter, Long Island City: Nicholas Blake. farmer. Newport; Charles Schreiber, real estate dealer, Valley Stream; George H. Ellard, oys- terman, Great Neck: Valentine Watts. farmer. Hampstead: Elias Velson, farmer. Port Washington.
 AS soon as the jury was completed District Attorney Youngs opened the case for the prosecution. an compre- hensive manner he placed the entire case of the people against the accused barber before the court and jury and promised to prove everything that was charged in the indictment. He spoke for 30 minutes. and as soon as he had finished the taking of evidence was begun.
 Evidence was first taken tending to establish the corpus delicti, a cons,d- erable time being devoted to the ex- animation of those who found the three bundles. each one containing a DOT tion of the discovered body, and sev- eral police officers were examined as to the manner in which the different parts were brought to the New York morgue. Some of the bath rubbers who knew Guldensuppe in life and worked along side of him in the baths testified to the identity of the remains which were found in four sections in three ~undles. and they were positive that. judging from peculiar marks in the different parts, they belonged to the body of the missing bath attendant
 This evidence was substantially the same as that taken on the first trial. al- ready reported in these dispatches.

It will cost moro than Ss, ,O00, 900 and will have a capacity of 5000 tons of armor per annum which is about the combined capacity of the two armor plants now supplying the navy. The process of manufacture will in- clude the very latest developments in the art of metailurgy, and while the plans contemplate the manufacture of harveyized nickel steel ermor accord Ing 10 the methods used in the reforged process. they will admit of easy adap- tation to the new secret Krupp process of hardening armor by the use of gas.

 An Incentive to the Banks.
 During the time between the deposit of the currency securities and the sub- stitution of bonds the circulation spe- officially issued therefor is to be ex- empt from taxation. and upon the sub stitutIon of bonds the funds released are to be transferred to the issue and redemption division.

WEYLER MEETS A FROST.
The ex-Captain General Not Warmly Re-
 ceIved In Spain.

oeived In Spain.
 Barcelona, Nov. 2i.-C eneral Weyler, as a menace to the security of the Lib- eral government and to the peace of Spain. has ceased to exist. The demon- st ation in honor of his return yester- day was a complete and entire failure.
 The demonstration began when he ap- peared in full uniform on the bridge of the Montserrat. It ended exactly an hour later. when he exhibited himself on the balcony of the third floor of the house of his friend Deputy Saladrigao. with whom he will remain during his stay in Barcelona. He attempted to renew 1t by driving through the prin- cipal streets of the city in an open car riage. still in his generals uniform. yesterday afternoon. and with his infa- nous Colonel Berriz the persecutor of Miss Cisneros. beside him. but he re- ceived scarcely a single viva.
 General Weyler and the political par ties offering him their help are begin ming to discover that no mutual sym pathy exists between them. The fail- ure Of the projected demonstration has shown plainly to the Republicans, Carlists and Robledists that General Weyler that his political allies have been simply trying to take advantage of his presumed popularity. The conse- quence Is that General Weyler's politl- cal allies are now rather cold toward him.
 Meanwhile the late captain general of Cuba Is trying hard to find in the Spanish protectionists a more solid ground for laying the foundations of his projected party. The Barcelona manufacturers, however, see clearly through his play and seem rather in- clined to fear that their association with General Weyler would injure their cause more than help 1t. If this Is so, General Weyler may have to retire to Palma altogether or else join the Carl ists.
 That he has decided to take some vengeance on the government Is proved by the following words he spoke to some personal friends:
 T will do yet things that will make people talk-aye. that will make people talk a good deal of me, and things that some people will feel sharply"
 It Is asserted here on reliable author ity that Weyler has returned here a very rich man, and 1t is claimed that he has transmitted money to the amount of s7 900 900 to s1o 900 GOO to Lon- don and Paris during the past two years. Much of this Is said to have been obtained by engaging either di- rectly or indirectly in contracting for supplies furnished to the Spanish forces in Cuba

 New York. Nov. 24.-The Herald this morning publishes the following re- rarding Secretary Cages proposed plan of currency reform:
 Secretary Cages plan of currency and banking reform will be submitted to congress in his annual report Briefly. the secretary proposes to establish an Issue and redemption division of the treasury; 10 set over to this division $l25,00o. 900 in gold coin from the gem eral fund of the treasury. to be used only for redemption purposes; to place in this division all silver dollars now held for redemption of silver certifi- cates and all silver bullion and dollars coined therefrom bought under the act of 1890.
 He also proposes that s20o GOO 900 in greenbacks be collected and deposited in this issue and redemption division. to be disbursed only in exchange for equivalent amounts of gold coin. this gold to be held as part of the redemp- ton fund. thus virtually retiring the greenbacks so collected. He proposes to refund the national debt in bonds. payable. principal and interest. In gold and bearing interest at 2h per cent.
 Tn order to carry out these changes without unduly contracting the curren- cy of the country the secretary proposes that the national bank law be amended SO as to permit national banks to be established at a minimum capital of f25,ooo in places having a population of e,500 or less; that the tax on national bank circulation secured by deposit of bonds be reduced to one-half of 1 per cent per annum; that the banks be al- lowed to issue notes up to the par value of the bonds deposited. and, further. that the banks be allowed 10 deposit with the treasury of the United States greenbacks. treasury notes or silver certificates to the amount of s20o ooo.- 900, against which the comptroller of the treasury shall Issue to them nation

Nov. 24.-Five members of the celebrated Cuban filibustering ex- petition on the schooner Competitor Captain Alfredo Laborde, William Gil- dea, Ona Melton, William Leavitt and Charles Barnett, an Englishman-who were captured by the Spanish in April, IS 6. and have since passed a miserable existence in Havana prisons, for a time under sentence of death, and who were released on Thursday of last week, ar- rived here on the Ward line steamer Saratoga from Havana. They all bore the marks of the fearful trials through which they had passed.
 They told with difficulty the terrible tale of their sufferings because of the emotion which its recollection, so fresh in their minds. caused to them. Tears welled to their eyes constantly as, sit- ting in the saloon of the Saratoga com ing up the harbor, they told to the group of newspaper men who had gone to Quarantine to meet them the story of their capture, confinement, convic- tion and long wait for the carrying out of the sentence of death once passed upon them. but afterward reversed.

 Perhaps the most pitiable one in a lot where all show the wretchedness of long captivity is Ona Melton. Melton Is a native of Kansas and cast his for tunes with the Competitor as corre- spondent of a Florida newspaper. He comes back to his own country as near ly a wreck as one could we'll imagine.
 In describing his capture and subse- Quent treatment Melton said that when the first gun was fired from the Span- ish gunboat he and two of his com rades lowered a boat and tried to es- cape. They were captured by row. boat sent In pursuit. however, but short distance from shore and taken aboard the gunboat and then ashore.

That screeching thing Is no longer king, For I'm the only bird" With conscious pride And stately stride His goblets strode along, With well poised head And measured tread, Gobbling Turkish song.

Said the Leghorn bold, As he scratched the mold, "Well l admire his gall. But o'erlook his ways, For the old saw says, Pride goeth before a fall There's Master Max With a glittering ax.
