1T IS PRACTICALLY RFPUBL!-
CAN AND WILL ELECT RE-
PUBLICAN SPEAKER.
The Republican Majority Is At Least
Eleven-Citizens Union Rernb-
liCanS Will Vote With The
Party On All Of The Gener-
al Questions.

New York, Nov. 11.-Chairman c. w.
Hackett, of the Republican state COM
mittee, has given out the following
statement concerning the organization
of the New York Legislature:
The Republicans have elected sub
stantial majority in the next assembly
and will organize that body. The re-
turns as canvassed officially this week,
make it certain that the Republican
votes in the next house will exceed the
Democratic by at least eleven. A Re-
publican will be elected speaker and
Republican ideas Of legislatiaons will
prevail in the legislation of the session.
The lower house will be in sympathy
with a Republican senate and a Repub-
lican governor.
1.-The rumors of fractional differences
and the calims of Democrats which
have ben circulated with the manifest
purporse of confusing the people of the
state as to the political complexion of
the assembly, are not worthy of SER
ious consideration.
"Eighty-one Republicans have been
elected to the assembly. Two of them
from New York were nominated by the
Citizens Union. Their affiliations have
always been with the Republicans.
Doubtless in considering and acting
upon legislation upon municipal affairs
they will be guided to some extent by
the views of those responsible for the
nomination and election, but on ques-
lions involving party considerations it
is as absurd to suppose that they will
join the Democrats as that the Demo-
Gratis will rally under their leadership.
There is nothing in the avowed
principles of the Citizens Union, as 1
understand them, which would compel
men holding the ideas of either great
party to abandon them and take up
those of their old time opponents.
Even if such an absurdity were pos
sible there are still enough Republic
cans to guarantee that a Republican
speaker will preside and legislation will
be directed along the lines of establish
ed Republican policy.

HOW MRS. mack CONFESSED.

New York, Nov. 11.-Rev. r. H. p.
Miles, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church of RavenswOod, L. l., to whom
it is alleged Mrs. Mack made her con-
fession, said that he had not attempt
ed to work on the wOmans' feelings
as has been alleged. Mr.. Miles said
that he visited the Jail at the request
of the Jail physician, who thought that
he could do Mrs. Mack good. Mr.. Miles
said his first few visits to the jail, Mrs.
Mack ridiculed his religion, but that he
kept on preaching in the jail corridor.
OnSunday last he took as his text:
Those who claim him, l will trust"
During the sermon Mr.. Miles said that
he noticed that Mrs. Mack was greatly
agitated and was crying and when he
had finished he says Mrs. Mack came
to him and said that she wanted to con-
TESS the murder. Mr.. Miles says he
told her that he did not care to hear
the confession, but told her to pray to
the Lord. She got down on her knees
and later told him that the prayer had
greatly relieved her and that a great
load had been lifted from her mind. He
then left her without hearing the con-
fession. He says that on Tuesday Mrs.
Mack sent for him and that when he
arrived at the Jail Mrs. Mack confessed
the crime to him in all its details.

The Capital Remains I'm
der Martial Law.
OPPOSITION TO M0RAES IS
UNDER THE BAN SUSPECT
ED OF TREASON.
Attempt To Throw The Blame OF
Attempted Assassination Upon
The Army Fails Trouble
With Italy Over The Kill
ling Of Italians.

New York, Nov. ia dispatch to
the Herald from Rio Jeniero, says:
Senator Viera, one of the govern
ments supporters in the Brazilian SEN
ate, declared in an open session of that
body, that the opposition had predict
ed the death of President Moraes.
This statement in connection with
the alleged plot which led to the recent
attempt to kill the president, caused
a sensation.
Senator Barcelonas, of the opposition,
protested vigorously against this
charge. In the chamber of deputies
Seabra in an attack upon the opposi-
ton, declared that the party was made
up of anarchists. This caused a hot
discussion in that body.
The charges made have caused the
opposition to publish a maifesto to
throw elsewhere the responsibility for
the attempt on President Moraes' life.
This manifesto, which sets forth that
the attempt grew out of discomfort in
the army, was not we'll received.
Comparative quiet reigns in Rio Jen-
Zero, though the chamber of deputies
has passed measure declaring the
city under martial law. An armed pat
rol surrounds the city.
Resolutions OF congratulation for the
president on his escape from assassina-
ton were passed.
The minister of foreign affairs has re-
ceived information from the authorities
of Spiritu Santo to the effect that Ital-
liam riots occurred there Tuesday and
has ordered troops to that place. 'Ital-
ians also employed in public places in
suited and maltreated natives. The
police were unable to dispense the Ital-
ians and finally the chief of police or
dered his men to fire into the crowd.
Four Italians were killed The chief
has been suspended pending investiga-
ton.
The italian charge d'affairs has re-
ceived orders from Rome to demand
redress for alleged outrages on Italians.
In the meantime the Italian club in Rio
Jeniero has tabled to Rome asking that
measures be taken at once to protect
Italian subjects.
Great uneasiness is felt in Rio Jen-
GIRO as to the result of these manifes-
tations. Business there is paralyzed
and the weakness of the government is
censured. Many Jacobins have been
arrested.

L. Luetgert, Dear sir: Confirming our
conversation of today, 1 desire to say
that without reference to any other
reasons, it seems to me the radical diff

gard to the proper method and manner
of conducting your second trial make
it imperative to me to withdraw from

what you said about it. Yours truly,

THE GULDENsUPPE CASE.
Thorn's Counsel Say He Will be Ac-
Quilted

New York, Nov. 11.-Dlstrict Attor-
ney William ]. Youngs and William F.
Howe, counsel for Martin Thorn, held
consultation last night, in order to as
certain when the Thorn trial would be
brought to an end,
Since you have decided not TO cross
examine our witnesses we are to pu on
the stand for the purpose of establish
ing the fact that the body at the NOR
que is that of William Guldensuppe,"
said Mr.. Youngs, Il should say that we
might close the entire case before the
end of this week. How long will it take
to put in your defense?''' was asked.
Less than day." replied Mr.. Howe.
That is all the time l want, but 1
don't want to finish the case this week.
think that will be time enough"
Are you sure that it will not take
you more than one day to put in your
side of the case?" asked Mr.. Youngs.
That is ALL" replied Mr.. Howe. TT
may take you a week to examine all
the witnesses for the prosecution, but
| it will take me less than one day to
convince the jury that Martin Thorn is
innocent. Why, the testimony of Mrs.
Mack has more than strengthened our
case. We admit that the body at the
morgue is that of William Gulden-
suppe. We admit that Guldensuppe
was killed, but we shall prove to this
court and jury that it was Mrs. Mack
who killed Guldensuppe."
Bosh, bosh," said Mr.. Youngs,
Thorn will be convicted"
Not at ALL" said the lawyer. Mrs,
Mack admitted on the stand that she
lured Guldensuppe to Woodside, that
she bought the oil cloth before the man
was dead and we have found the pis-
| tol with which she did the killink."
How is that?" asked Mr.. Youngs.
Why" said Mr.. Howe, 'she killed
him with Guldensuppe's own Pistol.
1t was the pistol the detectives found
at her own house, the same pistol she
| identified in court yesterday. Just
watch US. The jury is with us and 1
can assure you that Thorn will be ac-
Quilted"

WITH THE PUGlLISTS.
Corbett Puts in a Heavy Days Work and Interests a Great crowd-Fitz
 Exercising Also.

Carson City, Nev.. March 5.-The Northwestern which blew up last night left the highways as dry as board. All the pugilists were out on tie road before noon and each of them worked out to the satisfaction of the critics
 The chief interest centered about Cor bett. He had practically loafed for two days. and great things were expected from him. Nobody was disappointed. Breakfast out of the way. Jim threw on a sweater and called out his dog. To- gether they rambled over the hills In the direction of Empire.
 Corbett does not fancy road work, He claims that it stiffens his legs and im- pedes Shis rapidc foot work which saves him so many blows. After dinner he juggled with the wrist machine Tor quarter of an hour before tackiing the bag. Timing himself, he hooked the pail with his left continually for ten minutes and punched 1t with vigor with straight right and lefts for ten more Hurrying over to the court he called out Jeffreys and with Ed Green on deck the fun be- gan. The bulky pugilist is improving every day. His orders were to keep con- ing and he followed them out. When Jim backed into a corner Jeffreys invariably caught 1t and a chorus of .'oh's" went up from the female spectators. Three minutes of hard work left Jeffreys puff HE. Dut two lllllt SlTtdIlS OI peTSplId- tion trickling down Corbetts cheeks was the only evidence that he had been work ing His bellows were operating beauti- fully. Ed Green is very quick on his feet, but lacks experience. He lashes out with his right as though he were throwing 16-pound hammer, and before he gains his balance Jim puts in few on the body and perhaps a tap on the jaw,
 Con McFey was roughly handled by the champion in their wrestling bout which followed Ed Greens round He appeared to be perfectly helpless and Jim banged him up against the wall time and time again, humping his breast meanwhile. It was Billy Woods. how ever, who illustrated the champions hitting powers. With his armor blown up he strutted only to be bounced on like wild cat. Right and left Jim slug ged him on the jaw, and when his guard went up he caught 1t on the breast with long range straight drives, or lightning upper cuts. Each of the four men went through four rounds of three minutes be- fore Jim was satisfied. His brother. Joe and Al Hampton, played him two games of hand ball each after which he called it a days work.
 Over at FitzsimmonS' quarters the reg ulation programm went through with out hitch. Bob took morning walk and rub down and put in two hours in the afternoon wrestling with Roeber. sparring with Hickey and Stenzeler, and punching the bag. Very few spectators paid admission to the gymnasium, and altogether it was a dull day all around the Cornishman's cottage. Few people arrived today. and no celebrities were re- ported on the road

RETARDING BUSINESS PROS
 PER lTY,

Montgomery Journal,
 The Union Springs Herald, under the head, ''It is we'll" proceeds to berate the recent legislature. but excuses itself for it's adverse criticisms thus;
 The Herald is one paper that always tries to uphold all democratic adminis- trations, and 1t seldom contains anything complimentary of them; while there are democra tic claiming journals in the state that always try to rake up what they can against the chief executive and the congress or the legislatures, though these be the result of democratic elec- tionS, with this paper it is different. We always try to look to the good, rather than the bad. and hold it up to be seen, and especially to the view of those not in the democratic party.
 The Journal congratulates the Herald on its manly independence, and would like to S-e more honest newspapers. It need not have excused itself for differ ing with a. democratic administration or a democratic legislature. If it hon. estly believes either ths one or the other is wrong 1t Is not only its right but it's E duty as an honorable journal to say so. ! The public admires bold, manly, out spoken newspaper: and 1t has nothing 2 but contempt for cringing. sycophantic press that hasn't the courage of it's con- E victions.
 But thers is difference between honest criticism by an honest newspaper and captious criticism and arrogance by 8 newspaper seeking notoriety or having an ulterior motive in it's criticism; and the adverse criticism at present induig=d in by g, majority of the press comes front the latter class of newspapers.
 There is motive in their madness. It is easy to discover it if one will take the time to go back and study their attitude in the late state and federal elections. And the very serious question that now arises is, shall these newspapers be per mitted to disrupt the democrat tic party by attempting to SOW the seeds of dis cord during the next two and four years
 What people want now in this sta te is rest from needless political agitation. The business interests. of the country have been sufficiently disturbed. They now want quiet in matters political, that business may resume in all the legitimate channels of trade, and confidence may once again be fully restored.
 Shall we have political rest that bus mess, may resume. or shall we have po- litical agitation that the enemies of the present administration may wreak per sonal and political vengeance and thus continue to destroy business confidence and retard business improvement?
