ASSUMPTION of Extraordinary Power by
Uruguay's Acting President.
MONTENEGRO, Dec. 1.-Senor Ceustas,
the president, has issued a decree exil'
ing DR.. MIGUEL Herra Obes, who was
minister of the interior and of justice
in the cabinet of the late President
Borda, DIR. Aguirrae and General
Tjades.
DR.. Herrara incurred the enmity OF
the president ad interim of Uruguay,
Senior Cuestas, by calling on him in the
chamber of deputies to define the pro.
Rramme he would follow in the event OF
his success in the forthcoming presi'
dental election. The demand was
made in a speech severely arraigning
Senior Cuestas, and implying that the
latter intended to establish a dictator
ship. DIR. Herrara has been regarded
as the principal opponent OF Senior
Cuestas for the presidency.

Mr.. hEFBURN'S VIEWS.

Believes Congress Should Not Attempt
Any Financial Legislation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Mr. Hepburn
of Iowa is one of the Republican men,
beers Of the house who is of the opinion
that it would be wisdom not to attempt
any financial legislation. The futility
of sending a measure to the senate
makes it inexpedient for the house to
attempt to put through measure and,
besides, he doubts the propriety Of the
Repu blicans of the house attempting to
make Republican policy on a subject
upon which the Republican platform
does not speak to the point. He says if
the PRESIDENT should, as reported rec.
ommend any scheme for the retire.
ment Of the greenbacks, it would be
beyond the Republican platform and
every Republican would be free to
support or oppose it as his Judgment in
dicated. There is some talk Of Re-
publican caucus en- this question, many
of the members believing concerted
action could thus be secured"

thorn is CONVICTED
Jury Finds Him Guilty OF
the Sensational Culden-
suppe Murder.
Passing of the Death Sem
tence Deferred by Coun-
sells Request.
Admits the Verdict Is Just
and That His Testimony
Was Untrue.

New YORK, Dec. l.-Martin Thorn
has been convicted Of murder in the
first degree in killing William Gulden'
suppe, his predecessor in the affections
of Mrs. Augusta Mack, at Woodside. L.
l., on June rs. At the request OF
Thorn's counsel the passage of the
death sentence was deferred. Thorn
heard the jurymen polled OH their ver-
dict, but his face never changed color
during the trying ordeal.
About three weeks ago Thorn's first
trial on the charge Of murder was be-
gun, but owing to the illness of juror
it had to be abandoned alter three days.
A second trial opened week ago last
Monday, and, counting ont three days
on which the court did not sit, the trla'
consumed only six days. Mrs. Nack's
testimony during the mistr.al made ii
compulsory tor Thorn's lawyers to
Change Their Lin. Of Defense
in the second trial and they made 3 di.
rect charge against Mrs. Mack aud III
sisted that her alleged confession was a
lie and she herself was the 'nstigatol
and perpetrator Of the murder. Thorn
being ignorant of the killing until after
Guldensuppe had been shot by Mrs
Mack. The woman was not produced
during the second trial, but Thorn went
on the stand and substantiate all the
assertions made by his lawyers as to the
midwife's guilt. His story, as tho YER
dict shows, did not have the desired
effect upon the jurymen.
Just what will become of Mrs. Mack
has not been made known by the
Queens county authorities, but it is
generally thought that the prosecution
will accept a plea from her which will
not call for capital punishment.
