LINCOLN. Neb., Nov. 50.-In an in.

time his analysis of the vote in his own
state. It shows, so he asserts, that the
fusion candidate for Judge polled q
larger plurality than Mr.. Bryan himself
did last year, although the vote was
smaller. Mr.. Bryan explains the prog.
ress made since the presidential contest
by pointing out that the anti -Republi.
can majority is greater in Nebraska
this year than ever before. Mr.. Bryan
says:
''In 1895 the fusion electors, repre-.
senting the Democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans of Nebraska, re-.
ceived All average plurality of 1900
over the Republican electors and a
majority Of 8,l43 over all. This year
the fusion candidate for supreme judge
received q plurality of 1889 over the
Republican candidate and majority
was secured in spite of q decrease of
about 80, 900 of the total vote polled.
The Gold Democrats polled less than
half as many votes this year as last"

Under q fair suffrage system they
would be able to do this, and under the

compromise for another year. The op.

ing to the extension Of the agreement,
declared that it should never be ratified
for any term by the Badeni cabinet,
their object being to force Count Ba-
deni to retire on its becoming evident
that he would be unable to carry a
measure of the highest interest to the
dual monarchy. He expressed himself
as confident of being able to force the
bill through before the last day of this
year, the limit of the period for passing
it. But the extraordinary incidents of
the last fortnight have forced him to
retire in spite of the emperor's known
desire that he should retain Office.

THORN TESTIFIES.

Mrs. Nack's Story of the Killing Of Gul.
deusuppe IL Denied.
NEW YORK. Nov. SO.-After some
preliminary testimony by other wit
nesses Martin Thorn took the stand in
his own defense in the Guldensuppe
murder trial
Beginning with the statement that
he came to America II years ago, the
prisoner said his real name was Tor.
ceswisky and briefly related the facts of
his life up to the time he met Mrs.
Mack, l8 months ago. Guldensuppe
was boarding with Mrs. Mack at that
time.
II rented furnished room from her
at 81 q week, said Thorn. "Later I
understood Guldensuppe was her hus.
band. She first made love to me and I
returned her love. I was very fond of
her and loved her up to the moment
she took the witness stand on my first
trial"
The prisoner then told how he sup.
planted the bath rubber in Mrs. Nack's
affections and described the row he had
with Guldensuppe in consequence last
February. During this row Gulden.
suppe caught hold of him. Thorn held
a revolver which went off accidentally.
Then Guldensuppe took the pistol away
from him and gave him a beating. The
prisoner left the house and went to q
hospital. Mrs. Mack met him after.
wards very often an d they went to
places Of amusement. She said she was
sorry that Guldensuppe had hurt him,
but that he must not heed that. Thorn
then told in his own way what Mrs.
Mack had said to him afterwards. The
court directed Mr.. Howe not to lead the
witness.
"Mrs. Mack told me-" said Thorn,
''that she wished to leave Guldensuppe
snd live in some quiet place. We Wis.
tied the Woodside cottage and. as it
seemed q suitable place, we hired the
cottage. Ipaid the tl5 and got the
key. On June "a I gave the key to
Mrs. Mack. as she said she wanted to
do some cleaning at the cottage. About
IL or IL o'clock on Friday morning,
June 25, Mrs. Mack met me OF the door.
She said, 4 have Guldensuppe up
stairs. Iasked her what he was doing
there. She replied: He is dead; have
shot him. She then requested me to
help her to dispose Of the body"
Thorn's story Of the disposal Of the
body did not differ materially from that
told by Mrs. Mack in her confession.

OcoNoMowoc, Wis, Nov. SO.--The
mystery which has enshrouded the
murder OF the two children of Ernest
Cornell and the cutting of Cornell's
throat some 10 days ago, has at last
been cleared up. To the coroner's jury
Cornell made q confession that, to the
best of his recollection and belief, he
killed his two children and tried to kill
himself.
This announcement came as great
surprise to the officials who preferred
charges against Cornell's wife and John
Lewis. the horse skinner, and had them
ncarcerated in the county Jail at
Waukesha on account Of the killing.
Cornell made o statement that &C.
,ording to what he had read in the
newspapers and what he had heard, he
believed that he himself committed the
crime, though his condition at the time
was such that he had no recollection of
committing the deed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3O.-Mrs. Their.

She weighed over 600 pounds and the

bound with iron, was constructed for
the remains, and as it was too large for

A MILLION DEAD
Former Figures Of Mortality
Among Cubans Considered
Too Small.
New York Worlds Estimate Is
That Four Hundred Thousand
Have Starved,
While Thousands More Have Died
From Exposure, Disease and
Massacre.

NEW YORK. Nov. So.-A dispatch to
The World from Havana says:
The Worlds first figures of Cuba's
starvation were timidly moderate.
They showed the death Of only 200, 600.
But every painful fact unearthed tends
to prove them nearly double that num-
Der. When the grim returns are all in,
it is now about certain that this Cuban
massacre of Tho innocents will reach
100000. And this awful number does
not include those killed in battle. or
the thousands aud thousands Of men
and children who have died of exposure,
disease and massacre in the "AIana-
suas', and swamps. lit now seems GER
tain that more than half million peo-
pie, for the most part loyal subjects Of
Spain, have been killed by Spanish war
in Cuba.
A weeks trip through the provinces
Of Havana, Matanzas and Santa Clara
has tended to makefmoderate this tre-
mendously extreme figure. The figures
Of Spanish official reports show but
part of the mortality. They only give
the number buried in consecrated
ground they do not give that fully.
And, yet, these official ultra-Spanish
reports of burial permits issued admit
that in the province of Santa Clara
there have died and buried since Wey.
ler's fiat, 7l,847 persons.
The number Of people for whose ex-
istence Weyler is directly responsible
is loo, 1872 in Santa Clara province.
And of these, he has killed 86,2l6, or
over one.half of them.
Santa Clara has SO far been by fur the
least destitute of the provinces. It has
many cattle and not very thick popu-
lation. Between its So per cent dead
to Pinar del Rios admitted 80 per
cent are the provinces of Matanzas and
Havana with . 80 and 70 per cent NOR
tality respectively. These percentages
are established now by the actual fig-
ures in some 80 cities and towns. Ap-
piled to the denser populations of their
respective provinces, the total deaths
since Weyler's ''bando" will foot up
nearly 1000, 900.
