GULDENSUPPE
Thorn Discovered to Be an Ex-Con.
vict-oHiccrs Are Investigating
the Now Evidence

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Mrs. Mack was
taken from the Queens county Jail early
this morning and driven out Jackson
avenue and through Woodside, but not
near the cottage where the murder oc-
CURED. She went to corroborate a part
Of her confession, and tomorrow the 'au-
thorities hope to be able to locate the
saw with which it is claimed Thorn dis
rlembered the body Of Guldensuppe. In
her confession Mrs. Mack had indicated
the locality in which the saw wa:
buried. she was not sure of the exac'
place where the saw was inferred, bu
was sure she could tell within few feet
When the spot was located as nearly as
possible the woman and officers re-en-
tered the coach and 1t was driven back
to Long Island City and Mrs. Mack re-
turned to her cell. Digging will be COM
menced tomorrow.
The Identification of Martin Thorn as
former convict by a keeper of Moya-
mensing prison, Philadelphia, Saturday,
caused District Attorney Youngs to take
a sudden journey to Philadelphia. 1t
was also announced that Detective Mel
vim had left to join Mr.. Youngs and work
out the new feature Of the case. None of
the officials would say, in the absence of
Mr.. Youngs, what the developments
were that induced the district attorney
to give the matter his personal atten-
tion. 1t was believed that Thorn's record
as convict as revealed by the Moya-
mensing keeper, consisted merely of q
short term for the theft of a diamond pin
from customer in his barber shop. He

FIRE IN A MINE
DEFIES ALL EFFORTS TO PUT
IT OUT
Flooding tho Mine Will at Onco Stop
Work in the Whole Aspen
District

DENVER, Col, Nov. 14.-A fire, which
bids fair to result in the closing down
Of every mine in the Aspen district, is
raging in the Smuggler mine. Unsuc-
cessfu! efforts were made to place bulk
| heads and fifty men came near losing
their lives by suffocation.
A special to the Rocky Mountain News
from Aspen, Col, says: The timbers in
the lower workings of the Smugglcr
mine are on fire. and notwithstanding
stenuous efforts have been made all
day to check the fire, IL seems to be gain
ing headway. The damage cannot be
estimated at this time owing to the far
reaching nature of the disaster.
The workmen in the Smugger and
Mollie Gibson began to inhale an OBJ
noxious gas about l o'clock this morn
ing and Immediately began search
for its source. Three hours later 1t was
discovered that the large crib running
between the eighth and fifth levels of
that mine was on fire. and within short
time the workings of the Mollie Gibson
and the Smuggler above the S00-foot
level were so impregnated with the
fumes that the miners were driven out.
The Mollie Gibson people then at
tempted to get in bulkheads in their
connection between the two mines. The
air was so foul that twenty-five men
were overcome and for time it was
thought that wholesale fatalities had
resulted. At one time twelve .uncon-
scious men were pulled from the mine
and stretched upon the shaft house
floor. 1t required the utmost efforts of
physicians and others for over half an
hour to bring these men around. The
gas became so bad about o'clock tHiat
the Mollie Gibson was abandoned. In
fact, almost all the men were uncon-
scious or partially so.
The pump men abandoned their pumps
and left the mine to drown. Learning
of this, Master Mechanic Carson of the
Smuggler crept through the connection
and started them up AGAIN. This gave
the Mollie people new Lille and they again
tackled the .bulkheads and succeeded
in getting them in. Some twenty-five
men were overcome at the smuggler in
an attempt to bulkhead in the fire.
Speaking of the situation Manager
Hallet Of the Smuggler stated that it
was most serious.
Asked regarding the possibility of
having to flood the mine, Mr.. Hallett
stated that such course would be a last
resort. In the event of having to flood
the mine 1t will shut down every mine
in the camp.

TROUBLE FOR TURKEY
OVER AN OUTRAGE ON AN AUS
TRAN CITIZEN
Prompt Explanation Demanded With
Threat of Discontinuance
of Diplomatic Relations

CONSTANT1NOPLE, Nov. 14.-Earon
de Calice. the Austrosflurgatias am
bassador to the porte. has dema nded the
dismissal of the vail of Adcna. Asia
Minor. and of the nlulessarif OF Mersina
the port of Alden, the two officials re-
sponsibie for the recent indignity to the
Austrian merchant, Erszzafoli, agent al
Mcrsina of the Austrian Lloyd Steam
ship company. He has also demanded
u salute to the Austrian flag In the
event of failure to comply with both
demands Baron de Calice will quit Con-
stantinople on next Tuesday.
According to dispatches to the Associ-
ated Press Thursday the semi official
Frt mdenblatt of Vienna said that on
that day noticeable coulness between
the Austrian embassy at Constantlnople
and the porte had resulted in the high
handed action of the local authorities OF
Mersina toward the agent at that port
OF the Austrian Lloyd Steamship COM
pany, merchant named Brazzafoli. 1t
appears that he first incurred Turkish
suspicion Of political intrigue by be-
frending fugitive Armenians and giving
the most necessitous cheap passasge by
the Austrian Lloyd Steamship COM
pany's vessels. Last Monday the Turk
ish authorities expelled him from Mer-
sinS The Austrian government pro-
tested, whereat the porte allowed BraZ-
zafoli to return to Mersina. When he
came to land the local Turkish officials
maltreated him; not content with that,
they also insulted the Austrian consul,
who intervened in his behalf. Austria
Immediately sent strong note to the
Turkish government demanding an ex-
planation. The note was followed by or
ders to the Austrian cruiser Leopard to
proceed to Mersina and protect the Aus
trian consulate and the Christians at
that port.

sociation at Baltimore in October, 1894,
commonly known as the Baltimore
plan. All bank notes should be redeem
able at the commercial center Of the
country and also at their own counters.
Perhaps an exception should be made OF
the Pacific coast on account Of the dis
tance. The requirement of redemption
at the banks counter was found to work
no hardship under the Suffolk bank sys-
tenn, since as much specie was custom
arily deposited in the country banks as
was called for by depositors or note
holders"
Question: What, If anything, beyond
provision for immediate redemption, Is
needed for securing the elasticity Of note
issues in periods of normal business?
Answer: Ability to issue notes
promptly is as needful as prompt re-
demption.
Question: In times Of panic or sudden
stringency, how would you provide FOR
additional issues by the banks to enable
them to continue discounts and prevent
commercial distress?
Answer: 1 would allow an extra issue
| to rs per cent of the banks capital con,
ditioned upon the payment of tax, a
| the rate Of 5 per cent per annurn to tht
government as long as the excess ol
notes remains outstanding.
Question: OF what should the banks

Question: Should any national bank
be permitted to pay interest on the cur
rent deposits of other banks?

Question: Should deposits of country
banks in reserve cities be authorized to
be counted as part of the required re-
serve?
Answer: Yes, to the extent Of three
fifths, as the law now provides.
Question: What should be the mini
mum capital of national banks?
Answer: 1 am inclined to favor the
present limit of $4,000.
Question: Should the existing 10 pei
cent tax on state bank notes be re-
pealed?
Answer in the negative.
Question: Should any national bank
be permitted to establish branches un-
der it's simple management?
Answer: see no objection thereto.

capital of not less than $1,0O0000 to es-
tablish branches in it's own state, anc
any bank having q capital of $5,0O0,0 00(
or more to establish branches in any

BREcx's REPORT
Too Many Army Officers Detail cd to

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Adjutant-
General Breck In his report to Major
General Miles, calls attention to the
heavy draft that is made on the effective
strength Of the army by detailing Off
GERS to colleges ana military schools and
suggests that there be no increase in this
direction. He says that the service OF
artillery officers are much needed in
their regular duties. Land for minor
tactical exercises and rifle ranges is
needed at all cavalry and infantry posts.
General Breck recommends two addi-
tional regiments of artillery and two
companies to each regiment Of infantry.
The character Of the enlisted men is
higher and des,rtions are lower. The
post exchanges Continue to prove salts
factory. He also recommends the post
graduate schools. lyceums, gylnnasiums
and physical training requirements. He

RUssIA's POLICY
Demands That Turkey Shall Be
Kept Weak

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 14.-In
connection with the announcement just
made by the Russian embassy to the
Turkish government that Russia will
demand the unpaid arrears of the Rus
so-Turkish war indemnity If the porte
applies any part Of the Greek war in
demnity to an increase of Turkish
ornaments, 1t is now pointed out that
when, some time ago, Gen. Brialmont
submitted to the porte plans for arming
the forts at the entrance Of the Bosphor-
us, Russia intimated that she would
consider this a hostile act. In Difference
to the intimation then given the porte
abandoned the Bosphorus scheme.
Russia's attitude with respect to the
present plans for reorganizing the Turk
ish navy is considered here as logical
result Of her recent policy to keep Tur-
key weak.

THE CHICAGO FIRE.
It Came Near Destroying the Stock
Yards.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-Fanned by q strong
wind from the west, a fire broke out in
the Dexter Park pavilion at the Union
Stock Yards this afternoon, spread to
the district between Halstead street
and Union avenue and F'orty-th third and
Forty-ffth streets, demolishing bust
ness houses and residences.
The worst sufferers among the >esi-
dents were those living along Halstead
street between Forty-third and Forty
fourth streets. Business houses and
residences alike, all of them frame
structures, furnished ready material
for the flames, which ragged from I'M
til O'Clock, and then yielded to the
vigorous work of the fire department.
The total damege to the Dexter Park
pavilion is estimated at more than $780,
000, but it may exceed that sum, IS the
exact number of horses burned in the
fire is not known, and a calculation of
the amount of feed stored in the pdvil-
ion is yet to be made.
s number of persons were injured
during the fight with the flames. and
one man, according to an employee of
the stock yards, was burned to death
The injured are: Unknown man
burned to death. Patrick Casey, en-
ployee Of stock yards not serious.
Maurice Maloney, fireman, overcome
by smoke ard heat, VIII recover =.

employee Of stock yards, slightly burn
ed. William Donahue, fireman, injured
by falling timber, will recover
The Dexter park pavilion stands only
a few yards southwest Of the main
horse market, which is an immense
frame affair, covered by a huge dome.
For the latter building TO have caught
fire would have meant the destruction
of the, greater portion of the stock
yards. The pavilion contained AGO
horses and was with the greatest diff
Guilty that they were rescued.
Patrick Casey. AN employee of the
stock yards, discovered the fire and
after turning in the alarm, ran with
three companions into the pavilion to
release the horses. Many of them were
in pens and it was an easy matter to
turn them loose but a very different
thing to get them out of the building
Casey and Henry Walsh narrowly es-
capped being trampIed to death by the
maddened brutes. as they endeavored
to drive them through the doors. 1t
was found impossible to get 8 single
horse to leave the pavilion until the
men, by main strength, dragged one
through the doorway and then the
others followed RAPIDLY. The flames
spread SO rapidly that not all OF them
could be saved, but it is not thought
that many were destroyed.
