1HEo wish - - -.
den p VERY best section OF the treaties
that recently passed the U. S. Senate
was the one that it struck out, providing
that citizens of each power who may be
demanded for crimes committed in the
territory of the other powers shall be
extradited. This OF course will not
tend to deter foreign criminals from
coming here to ply their vocation, and
returning home at the approach of
danger. But many of the Senators
who voted for striking out that wise
provision had previously voted against
allowing foreign criminals to land
here, and said the country would be
turned over to foreign and native an
archists if Mr.. Bryan were elected
President.

PROSPECTS OMNIBUS.
Austrian Ministry's Path Bestrewn
With Difficulty.

Vienna, Dec. 1.-The communal coun-
Gil has passed a resolution thanking
Emperor Francis Joseph for summon
ing the ministry, and expressing hopes
that the present cabinet viii repeal the
language ordinances, making the Czecn
language coordinate with the German.
thanking the obstructioniSts, urging
them to persevere and, if necessary, to
resort to extreme measures.
Vienna, Dec. 1.-The prospects for
the new ministry are ominous. The
assignments OF portfolios has been re-
ceived on all sides with frigid reserve,
and although the dismissal of Count
Badeni has allayed the spirit of rebel
lion in Vienna and the German towns.
anarchy has broken out in the Slav and
Czech towns and provinces.
IG looks as though Baron Gautsch
would have as great difficulties to face
in the demands of the Czechs and So
cialists as Count Badeni had. Seeing
the success that mob influence has had
in Vienna in bringing about the down
fall of Count Badeni, the Czechs are
trying by the same influence to bring
pressure to bear upon the new cabi-
net.
The parliamentary situation is I'M
changed and hopeless. Baron Gautsch
has conferred with the leaders of the
majority and the leaders of the minor
ity, but SO far both parties appear ir-
reconcilable.

MARTIN THORN AND MRS, mack
FORMER PASSED A QUIET NIGHT
IN PRISON.
The Midwife Is In a Very Nervous
Condition and Anxious About Her
Case-Howe's Statement.

New York, Dec. Martin Thorn,
of the jury which will send him to the
electric chair to expiate the murder of
William Guldensuppe, passed a quiet
night in his cell at the Queens county
jail
When Sheriff Don't went in to see
Thorn this morning, the condemned
prisoner said he had no appetite for
breakfast, but he felt that a big load
was off his mind. Thorn did not talk
as if he had any hope of getting a new
trial. He supposed, he said, he would
have to make up his mind to meet the
worst.
Mrs. Mack spent a restless night, be-
ing evidently much affected by the con-
viction of Thorn. When she heard of
the verdict, she weDt and expressed
sorrow for her former lover, although
she says her conscience is relieved Mrs.
Mack is in q highly nervous condition
and is now very anxious about her own
case District Attorney Youngs has
not announced just what he purposes
doing in the case of Mrs. Mack. 1t is
understood she will be arraigned next
week, when the counsel, Emanuel
Friend, will in her behalf enter a plea
of guilty of manslaughter in the first
degree, and that the district attorney
| will accept the plea. In doing this, Mr..
YoungS would be recognizing Mrs.
Nack's action in turning states evil
dence at the first trial. Mrs. Mack
may be sent to the penitentiary for 20
years.
Lawyer Howe today denied in strong
terms the statement that Thorn after
the conviction yesterday confessed to
the killing and dismemberment of Gull
densuppe. Mr.. Howe reiterated his be-
lief that the court of appeals would
reverse the verdict.
Police Captain Methven, of Long Is
land City, said: There are some dis
crepancies in the published report of
Thorn's confession. but the main facts
are unchanged. Thorn made part of
the confession TO me and part to Sher-

Age of Consent Law Attacked.

A Moscow dispatch to the Spokane
Spokesman-Review says:
The trial of one of the most import
ant cases on the criminal calendar
began yesterday in the district court,
when a jury was empaneled in the
case of w. B. McGraw of Bear Ridge
near Kendrick, charged with criminal
assault. The offense alleged was COM
mitted on Florence Cartwright, a IA
yearold orphan girl, Sept g. 1886, and
child was born n the following June
Henry G. Maxwell, uncle of the girl, is
the prosecuting witness.
Before the taking of testimony began
Attorney James w. Reid, for the de-
Tense, introduced a certified copy of the
house and senate journals regarding
the passage of the age of consent bill
under which McGraw was indicted
passed by the legislature of 1895. 1t
was claimed by Mr.. Reid that the law,
in accordance with the now famous fee
bill decision of the supreme court, was
unconstitutional. District Attorney
McNamee and William Morgan OPP
posed Mr.. Reid. AT the conclusion OF
the arguments Judge Piper took the
matter under Amusement
In case the law is declared unconsti-
tutional McGraw will go free, as the
girl was over II years of age, the pre-
vious age of consent at the time the
offense was alleged to have been COM
mitted

CRISES IN FRANCE.
Legislature Voted Against the
GoVernme

Paris, Dec. I'm the senate, after a
heated discussion of the removal of the
magistrate which was denounced as il
legal, the senators, by vote of 133
against us. rejected the motion of NJ.
Darlan, minister of justice, to shelve the
subject, and adopted a resolution call
ing on the government to enforce the
laws strictly. This result was goverin-
ment defeat, and was greeted with loud
cheers by the radicals.
When the news reached the Hobbies
the radical members there declared that
they would demand the resignation of
the cabinet
The cabinet met this evening. The
newspapers express the belief that all
the ministers viii resign, and that Nj.
Meline, the present premier, will I'M
dertake to reconstruct the cabinet.
The feeling among the deputies was
against the whole cabinet resigning.
Securities on the bourse today, after a
firm opening, were rather agitated on
the resignation of the minister of JUS
tice, NJ. Darlan. In addition, the
Spanish news was regarded as less re-
assuring. At the close of the market,
there were signs of the beginning of a
reaction.
Nj. Darlan, in spite of the requests of
his colleagues, has persisted in resign
ing the portfolio of justice, and the
president has accepted his resignation.

North Montana stockmen for the
past week have been engaged in gath
ering up their cows and calves for win
ter care. Last winter, it might be said,
was the first one in which this was
done to any great extent, and it proved
to be most successful. Apart from
protecting themselves from losses
caused by hard winter on the range,
it has been demonstrated that such
care gives the cow and calf longer
lives of usefulness and greater ulti-
mate profit to the owner.

Klondike Connection.

Toronto, Dec. 1.-The competition be-
tween the Canadian Pacific and Grand
Trunk railroads for business into the
Klondike next spring is likely to lead
to war Of rates between the two

making q reduction in fares equal to
this differential. The Grand Trunk at

the Canadian Pacific has issued another

AUTOMATIC CAR COUPLERS.
Railroads Want Time Extended For
Application.


Washington, Dec. 1.-The Interstate
commerce commission today opened the
hearing OF the railroads which have pc
utioned Cor an extension of the time
in which they may comply with the
law Of 1893 requiring them to equip
their cars and engines with automatic
car couDlers, hand rails and brakes.
The representatives or attorneys of sew
eral hundred railroads, and also of lead
ing Labor organizations were present
John Cowan, one of the receivers of
the Baltimore & Ohio, presented the
general subject to the commission.
He offered as the principal reason
why the roads could not comply with
the law was through the Industrial de-
preston which followed 1898, rendering
them financially unable to meet the
expenditure OF such a vast number of
automatic devices.
P. H. Morrissey, representing the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, the
Railroad Conductors association, the
Locomotive Engineers, Locomotive
Firemen and the Association of Rail-
road Telegraphers, followed Mr.. Cowen
with a forcible presentation of the at
titude of the railroad employees toward
the solicited extension. He agreed with
Mr.. Cowen that in a large measure this
associations for which he appeared
were a unit in protesting against any
such unreasonable extension as had
been proposed. Five years, he said,
would render the purpose of the law
nugatory.
During the past five years 1000 rail-
road men have been killed annually,
and between 10000 and $4,000 injured.
OF those casual IS 60 per cent were di-
rectly attributed to the new evils this
law was designed to correct. The
slaughter would continue as long as
the present conditions remained. He
thought something should be done with
roads which had utterly disregarded
the law.
The hearing was adjourned until to-

GIANTS IN THE RING.
HEAVYWEIGHT Fight In Tulane
Club at New Orleans.


New Orleans, Dec. 1.-Gus Rubin,
the giant heavyweight of Akron, O.,
defeated Tut Ryan of Australia, to-
night, at the Tulane Athletic club, in
a ten-round fight, John Duffy being the
referee Ruhlin was the taller and
heavier weighing about 100 pounds
Ryan tipped the beam at IT'S pounds.
Rubin, at the outset, was awkward
and Ryan, III point of cleverness,
showed considerable superiority. The
Australian, realizing his advantage,
fought for the body, and in the first
eight rounds landed with plenty of
force on the body. For time this
weakened Rubin. but he gained cour-
age and finally became stronger and
captured the day. His blows in the
last two rounds were hard and Ryan
was groggy and could hardly have
stood the terrible raids round longer.
On every side Ryan was given praise
for his gameness and brilliancy, while
Rubin was simply looked upon as q
husky heavyweight, with little chance
of ever becoming Il champion.
Referee Duffy admitted that Ryan
did the greater part of the leading, but
claims Rubin countered him at close
positions and unquestionablY outfought
the smaller man. and in the last two
rounds Ryan was practically a beaten
man and his opponent was deserving
of the decision. Rubin and Maher Will
now be matched.
