MRS. MACK WANTS TO CONFESS.
But Authorities Not Likely to Accept
Her Terms

New York, October 1.-THE World will
say tomorrow: Through her counsel,
Lawyer Emaneul M. Friend, Mrs. Au-
gusta Mack, has sent word to District At
torney Youngs OF Queens county, that she
is ready to tell all she knows about the
murder of VIM. Guldensuppe.
Mrs. Mack asks in return that the au-
thorities allow her to plead to man
slaughter in the first degree.
The maximum sentence for this offense,
If accepted, will be imprisonment in state
prison at hard labor for 20 years.
District Attorney Youngs has thus far re-
fused to consider the proposition made by
the woman. He is willing, however, to
accept a plea of mu1der in the second
degree, which would carry with it a
sentence by the court of Imprisonment
for life.
''Unless Mrs Mack makes full confess
sion before the end of this week." said
District Attorney Youngs, 81 will not
accept her pleas as. we have an excellent
case against her. Our case against
Thorn, who is indicted with her, for the
murder of Guldensuppe, is also complete
II have not received her full confession
as yet, but would not consider her plea
if the price for 1t would be my consent
to have her plead to manslaughter In
the first degree. That time has passed -

renton, Va, to attend the funeral of a
friend.
1t Is understood that the State Depart
ment is going over with Gen. Lee and
Mr.. Hannis Taylor, ex-Minister to Spain,
the effect of the recent cabinet changes,
the result of Gen. Weyler's withdrawal
and other new phases developed by the
ascension of Sagasta.
The escape of Miss Cisneros from an
Havana prison, through the efforts of q
representative of the New York journal
and Advertiser, has been talked over also,
the prevailing view being that it will not
lead to an International complication.
Gen. Lee said today that he did not
think any serious question would arise
over the incident. Ex Minister Taylor,
when asked if international complioa-
tions were likely to arise, answered: 81
think not, and the result will be that
Sagasta will give royal decoration to

Bank.

Nashua, nh, October 1.-THE second
meeting ofthe depositors of the Security
Trust company who are endeavoring to
ku5 an account Of their standing from
Assignee L.F. Thurber, was held tonight
in the court room, and proved to be the
hottest meeting over financial affairs In
this city for years. some very plain names
being called during the evening Secre-
tary E M. Shaw of the committee, report
ed that Assignee Thurber refused to allow
the committee to examine the books,
stating as his reason that one of the cred
itors through an attorney had notified
him that unless all the creditors could be
represented, there could be no examina-
tion of the books except at the assignees
own risk. The committee had thus been
unable to make a report as to the condit-
ion of the hank. A fight was made here
over discharging the committee, it end
ing In only the acceptance of its report.
d A controversy ensued between Messrs.
Dewolfe and Russell, making some start
ling statement in regard to the conditions
of the company's affairs. Mr.. Dewolfe
state that one of the officers of the bank
had lost $500, 900 through its failure and
that another officer OF the bank was SO
badly in debt that 1t was stated officially
by an official that if he lived to be 375, 900
years old he could not pay his bills. :. .
At tho close of the controversy, Hon.
s. B. Chandler, Joseph Flather and A. T.
Leighton of the committee resigned, and
A. E. DeWolfe, H. A. Cutter and B. j.
Tuck were elected in their places, and
instructed to carry the matter into the

EVIDENCE ALL IN.
Arguments in Luetgert Case Began Yes
terday Afternoon.

Chicago; October 1.-The taking of
testimony In the Luetgert trial came to a
sudden and unexpected close today.
Witnesses which the defense had called in
rebuttal failed to respond when their
names were called, and finally ex-Judge
Vincent announced to the.court that the
case of the defense was all in.
"We rest,'' concluded Luetgert's chief
counsel. sigh of relief was heard in
the court room. After brief consul
tation by the counsel in the case 1t was
agreed to begin arguments to the jury
this afternoon. Assistant State Attor-
ney McEwen opened.
Assistant States Attorney McEwen
addl essed the jury for three hours this af-
ternoon and barely outlined his argument
at the hour of adjournment. He will re-
sume the argument tomorrow morning
and will talk all day.
The state was conservative in its
assertions as what 1t would prove on the
witness stand some weeks ago. said the
speaker in his opening remarks. "We
made no boasts. We told you in the simp-
lest language just what the evidence
would disclose. Our promises have been
fulfilled. The claim has been made that
we have failed to establish properly the
corpus delicti and I suspect you will hear
much about this from the attorneys on
tho other side. The body of the crime has
been sufficiently shown by the circum-
stances which establish that Mrs. Luet-
CERT met her death through criminal
agency"
Ex-Judge Vincent will close for the de-
fense and State Attorney Denen will close
for the prosecution. The case will go to
the jury probably next Saturday night.

DIDN'T LIKE TO BE TAXED.
A Riot in the Streets of Rome During
Which One Was Killed.

nome, October ia large procession
OF tradesmen, headed by the pro-syndio of
home and the president Of the Chamber
OF Commerce, marched to the Office of
the minister Of the interior, this after
noon, to protest against and confer with
cne government regarding the increased
taxation. Premier Rudini, who is also
minister of the interior received a com
lnlltee representing the tradesmen and
promised that all possible would be done
- promote friendly relations and greater
fqulty between the tax collectors and
Taxpayers.
IN the meanwhile, a large crowd of peo-
PIE had collected around the ministry,
angry shouts were heard and some of
bhose present tore up paving stones and
oonerW1se assumed a very threatening
attitude. This caused the police to make
an attempt to disperse the violent portion
OF the crowd and in the conflict which
| followed six policemen were injured and
one rioter was killed.
The mob raised revolutionary cries
while the fighting WAS in progress, re-
volyers were freely used, many persons in
the crowd were injured and twenty of
the leaders of the disturbance were ar
rested. The condition of three of the
wounded policemen Is serious.
~ lS estimated that there were at least
,000 people in the procession that escort
eo the deputat1on to the offices of the
minister of the interior. The authorities,
II was quite evident, had failed to make
adequate provision for maintaining order
IA such vast and crowded assembly
Inc people were irritated at being ex-
cluded from the building by the Carbi-
neers and presently a second detachment
Issued with fixed bayonets and tried to
clear the plaza. The crowd then resist.
&c, the stone throwing began and the con-
dict speedily became general until an in
fantry detachment appeared on the scene
and by repeated charges drove the crowd
into the adjoining streets, the mob still
shoWering stones. Some of the soldiers
becoming infuriated, fired in the direc-
tion of the crowd and the streets were
only cleared after a severe struggle, a SEQ
ond resort to fire arms becoming neces-
sary to dislodge particularly determined
group.
1t Is believed that nearly 40 were more
OF less seriously injured. Hints are
thrown out in some quarters that the dis.
orders were fomented by Agents Provo
cateurs, rs until the sudden outbreak
the crowd had been quite peaceful
: Midnight-The streets have been quiet
this evening. A special detail of police

Honiton Can Disohar.ea

Boston, October 1.-THE local health
authorities have decided to allow the
British steamer Honiton, 10 proceed to
her discharging berth at Constitution
wharf this evening, but the vessels crew
will be detained at Gallops island for
some days yet. This afternoon tugs were
sent down to tow the steamer to the
city. Enough men were sent down on
the tugs to perform the duties of the
crew, while the steamer is being towed
to the city and made fast to her berth
Capt Hudson will probably be allowed
to come to the city about Thursday, but
the remainder of the crew will probably
be held until the latter part of the week.

EDITOR SENTENCED TO JAIL.
Herr Stencil of Hamburg Found Guilt,
of "Lese Majestic"

Hamburg, October 1.-THE editor-h-
chief of the Hamburg Echo Herr Rhein-
hold Stencil charged with 1ese majeste,
against Leopold, King of the Belgians,
was tried here today, convicted and sei-
fenced. The proceedings were taken 1T
the request of Baron Greindl, Belgian
minister at Berlin. C
The offense imputed consisted in tie
publication of several articles asserting
that King Leopold habitually encouraged
gambling, that he had his own tables at
Ardenness and personally protected the
gambling saloons at Ostrind. Herr
Stencil denied the authorship of the
offending articles, but accepted respons-
bility for them. The defense proved th5t
similar statements had appeared in Be
CLAN and other German papers without
being followed by prosecutions for less
majestic. Among the Belgian witnesses
were Baron Gossinet, the Kings secre-
tary, Herr Weiner, the Belgian crown
syndic, and deputy Loraud, all of whom
deposed that the King had absolutely
nothing to do with gambling houses, al
of which in Belgium were legally regu-
lated by the government.
The defense wanted to cross-eXam1B
tho prosecutions witnesses with reference
to King Leopold s relation to the Cong0
enterprise, but the court refused to allow
that matter to be raised. The presiding
judge decided also. contrary to the cor
tention of the defense that Baron Greindl
was acting in behalf of his government
and entirely justified in taking criminal
proceedings.
The public prosecutor demanded sell
tence of six months imprisonment. Tie
court imposed sentence of eight months
and ordered the immediate arrest of Her
Stencil. There is reason to believe that

SAILOR WENT CRAZY.
And For Awhile Practically Owned Ship
James Nesbith.

New York, October 11.-Before the full
dock today i'll Brooklyn, it was known
that she had on board man in irons,
who had tried to commit murder. But
was not known that for some little time,
while the Nesbith was on the high seas
that this would-be murderer practically
owned the ship and drove all hands be-
low deck, where they remained in a state
of terror until by a concerted attack
they regained possession of the ship.
The Nesbith, from South American ports,
anchored on Friday last off Staten ISL
and and it WAS reported that they had ex-
perienced trouble on board When the big
boat lay alongside her dock, Jos. Marean,
an abie-bodied seaman, was taken from
the irons in which he has been since
September IA and marched before Unit
ed States Commissioner Oakley. He was
held until Saturday for examination. He
appeared perfectly sane and quiet.
On September IA when the vessel was
sailing under fair wind, Marean went
out of his mind. He started to slash
around with big knife. Chief Mate
Creenen, "a nervy old man, ordered Marean
to go below and received stab wound
for his trouble. The sailing master went
to the chief mates assistance and also got
a severe cut. Marean then went for the
ID sailors on deck. They all disappeared
down the companion ways and in short
time Marean had the deck to himself.
He ran up and down, bowling at the ton
of his voice. The officers and crew se-
cured arms and returned to the deck.
where they approached Marean on ali
sides and made n concerted attack upon
him. Several members of the crew today
bear traces of the struggle that ensued
and several OF them said it was a wonder
that Marean did not kill somebody

at Instance of the Pinkerton Agency
Agrees to Return Without Trouble.
Halifax. October 1.-THE missing teller
of the First National = bank of Walling-
ford, Conn. ,and treasurer of the borough,
Willis A. Trask, whose alleged defalca.
tions from the bank is said to represent
loss of $6, 600, was arrested thissafternoon.
He has been in Halifax since Septem ber
13.
His arrest was effected by Police Ser
geant Lehan. who was armed with a
warrant at the instance of Detective Leith
of the New York Pinkertons. Leith ar
rived in Halifax Saturday and learned
from the police that theyshad under sur
veillance as a suspicious character a
stranger who answered the description of
the man he wanted. Leith was not long
In satisfying himself that the party was
really Trask and today he had warrant
issued which charges the ex-cashier with
embezzling $4,000 from the Wallingford
bank.
Irask made no trouble for the police
sergeant. After being taken to the police
station in the City hall he admitted his
Identify and said he would return to
Wallingford without putting the authori-
ties to the trouble of going through ex-
tradition proceedings. The prisoner is
man aboutS35 years old, TALL dark and of
fine presence.
In an interview tonight Trask
stated that he had been faIsifying the
books for long time-ten years or more
The accounts wore regularly audited by
experts, but he had always succeeded in
deceiving them until those in authority
over him began to realize that he was
living beyond his income or received in
timation from some source that he must
be robbing the bank.
1t was stated tonight, however, that he
may still decide to make fight against
extradition.
He declares that he knew Detective
Le1th was in Halifax before the latter
knew where the man he wanted was to be
found and that escape from Halifax and
from the officer would have been an easy
matter. But he was tired of idleness and
wandering and did not care to make an
effort to get away
He believes the disclosure of his where
abouts to the law officers came through
the fact that his presence in Halifax was
known to two friends who accompanied
him from Connecticut to ST. John, N
B., and then to Halifax. These friends,
who were on vacation, have returned
home and he supposes they spoke Of hav-
ing been in his company. Trask has been
enjoying himself immensely since he
came to Halifax four weeks ago. He
spent week or ten days in ST. John, be-
ing In that city during the New Bruns-
wick fair. and arrived here in good time
to take in the Nova Scotia fair, of which
he was daily patron for eight days.
He moved in the best circles here and
made number of friends at the Elm
wood, where he lived for most of the time.
When arrested Trask had about $40 in
his possession.
