THORN TRIAL BEGINS AGAIN

New York, November 21.-Martin
Thorn will be placed on trial for the
second time tomorrow for the murder of
Iuldensuppe. Since the collapse of the
trial ten days ago on account of the
serious illness of Juror Larsen, an entire
ly new panel Of talesmen has been sum-
moned and all is in readiness for the new
hearing Thorn and Mrs Mack will both
appear on the stand. An important wit
ness not subpeonaed in the first trial will
be Constantine Keehn, q barber. who
worked with Thorn. Upon his testimony
the state will base the argument that 1T
was Thorn and not Mrs. Mack who
planned and committed the crime.
Thorn's testimony will be equal to plea
OF being an accessory after the fact. HIS
part in the murder, he will declare was
merely to aid Mrs. Mack in disposing OF
the remains and protecting by silence,
claiming that the woman did the murder.

THINKS WE ARE HOSTILE.

New York, November 21.-Marquis
Apestegu1a, leader of the Conservative
party in Cuba arrived here today from
havre. The Marquis said he had been in
spain for the last year, and that he would
return to Havana Wednesday, He spoke
very guardedly Of the Cuban war and
Spaln's attitude toward America.
1t SEEMS he said, as though the at.
tltude of the United States is hostile to
Spain, though, perhaps 1T is not meant tc
be so."
that the Liberal party in Spain has beer
much opposed to General Wey ler's S method
of warfare in Cuba, although the conser
vatives were not ininical to Weyler. The
Marquis also said that from recent ao
counts in the public press he though
affairs in Cuba were moving satisfactorily
for Spain

garians; entering their houses, speaking
their languages, give me a right to speak
on some points which President Andrews
has treated superdoially.
In the first part of his address he shows
his superiority to all American newspa-
per correspondents.
q an example, he accuses them of
knowing nothing of the great protect ion
ist rally in France The learned presi
dent had not read the right newspapers.
Had he consulted The Economist, printed
in New York and the Home Market Rul-
letin, printed in Boston, he would have
found all the information he could desire,
and would have looked upon France as
the proper wailing ground of the Golden
Club.
In the latter part of the address he dis
cusses ably the policy of England in Eur
ope and in Africa. We are shocked by
his bad taste In the introduction of pro-
fame and indecent ballad about sending
Gladstone to hell. Gladstone has had p
life of great errors and great virtues. be
has taken the wrong side of every great
question, but has finally come round to
the right. have heard him in his prime,
and do not wonder at the honor that is
paid to him in England. AS he has re-
pented of his sins toward us, let us for
give him. He has touched the heart of
the Christian and civilized world by his
eloquent defence of the distressed,
martyred Armenians whom President
Andrews evidently despises. 1t may be
that for that reason he sends him to per-
dition, but he should do it with more
decency of language.
The president has done we'll at..the close
of his address to draw attention to the
fact that England is ever strengthening
her strategetic points arounds us. She is
repeating the error of 1775 If she thinks
to overawe us in our strength which she
could not do in our weakness. CONNER
cially and industrially she is destined
perhaps to be our enemy. She destro yed
our commercial marine In the time Of our
distress, and 1t would distress her TO see
it restored. We must be rivals; let us
not be hostile rivals.
But what we are most interested in is
the result Of his deep sea sounding.
Dropping the plummet deeper he
touches certain painful facts" which he is
bound to reveal to our expeotant minds
1t Is new and astounding fact that has
heen concealed and that he is now COM
missioned to unfold. 1t Is q fact that he
has asoertained upon ''diligent nd ex
tended inquiry" And the amazing and
painful fact is that no Mohammedans
have been converted to Christianity,
while "most of us suppose that hundreds
and thousands have been converted.
Again-'tI fear it would be an error to
imagine that any considerable number of
West Asian Moslems have turned to our
religion" (sic.) This is simply amazing |

ZION o! tne Secretary of War the designa-
tlon OF the amount of the reward for the
apprehension OF deserters as suggested by
tne Juoge advocate general. Owing to
Ine crowalng OF the departments with
otlolaI papers the Secretary concurred in
the Recommendation of the adjutant gen.
eral and ouartermaster general ON the
necessity OF hall of records being pro-
Vloeo. The Secretary shows the need of
an increase of 500, coo in the appropria-
tlon Ior army transportation to move
neaVy ordnance and an increase of 81 $50, :
ooo 10 provide barracks and quarters for
NUMBER of new posts on the seaooast
ana TO enlarge others. The Secretary COM
mended the work OF distribution of relief
70 tne sufferers from the overflow OF the
MIss1ssippi river, the Red River of the
North and the Rio Grande. The COM
mlssary general reported balance of
$l24, 600 remaining in the treasury. Aid
was extended SO far as it was possible to
all who needed relief. The surgeon gen.
eral's s report showed that the army en-
loyed excellent health during 1896, the
death rate being only 5.55 per thousand.
Ihe number of days lost on account of
sickness for each man in the army was
IL 10 davs, as compared with 1887 In the
previous year.
| The Secretary said: "Seacoast defenoes
are being rapidly constructed and they
should be completed at the earliest
possible date. | therefore urge that the
full amount of the estimate ($5, SIC, ,0O0) be
| appropriated.
| The estimates for river and harbor Inn
provements submitted by the CHIEF OF en-
gineers greatly exceed former estimates
with the exception of waterways and
harbors where there is large traffic, or
where immediate improvement Is lmpera-
| lively needed, I am convinced the esti-
mates are largely in excess of what they
should be at time when the demands
upon the treasury are as great as now. lt
| Is therefore recommended that the amount
to be appropriated be largely reduced be-
low the estimates"
| The estimates for armament of fortifica-
tions for the fiscal year ending June 30.
1899 is 81, 46S, ,051 or S2, sos, ,243 in excess of
the appropriation for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1898. Secretary Alger urges
that the estimates of the chief of ordance
\ be appropriated.
| The chief signal officer, in continuance
| of experimental work with military
balloons, asks an appropriation of $40, 900
| for the purpose.
Secretary A1ger says this is an object
| which needs investigation and as the
amount asked for is not large, he COM
mends it. The reports of the battlefelds
commission show that the work at An
tietam Is almost finished and no further
appropriation is needed. AT Gettysburg
and Chickamauga the magnitude of the
work is commensurate with the import
ance OF the battles commemOrated. At
Shiloh the work is not yet leyond the
commencement stage. The army depart
ment expenditures for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1897, were $49, $50, 1856. The
appropriations for the present fiscal year
are given as $62, ,S32, AT, while the esti-
mates for the next fiscal year is $96, 1885,
445.
