NEVER FAILED HIM NERVE NEW YORK, August 1—Martin Thorn, the barber, was put to death in the prisen at Sing Sing at 11:17 o'clock today for the mirder of William Guldensuppe. Thorn sat up later last night than was his custom. He talked of his parents, his. boyhood days in Germany and his first ex- periences in this country. He showed no and when he threw himself on his cot it was but a few minutes until he was sound asleep. Warden Sage, who went to Thorn’s cell for e num- | early today, said of him: <a | “Thorn told me he was not nervous and ’ | vould die bravely. He said he was perfectly reconciled to his fate and that he had mad- peace with his God. He siept well and had no fear of death. There is not the slightest change in his actions. He is the same cool man who came to the prison six months His nerve is stronger than that of other murderer who has been in the h house.” His Only Dread. Thorn told one of his keepers that his enly dread was the t from the time he awoke until he was summoned to the chair The condemned man received the las' sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church. When summoned to the execution chair, Thorn showed no emotion, and walked to it quickly, repeating prayers, after the at- tending priest. There was no untoward in- cident in connection with the execution, and after the current had been tur seconds Thorn was dead. t h The Crime. The killing of William Guldensuppe, a bath rubber, and the subsequent mutilation and distribution of the dismembered body by Thorn and Augusta Nack, were so cun- ningly planned and accomplished that the stands alone as the most fiendish murder in the criminal history of this or any other tion of the United States. On Saturday afternoon, June 23, of last year, two youthful swimmers found a pe- culiar bundle floating in the wast river and n, | crime | they brought it ashore at the 11th street dock. A policeman opened the package, which was heavy and water soaked, and found tha it contained the upper portion of a man’s headless body, with the arms folded across the brea from which an frregular piece of skin and flesh had been cut, with the evident purpose of remov- ing some mark by which the part might be identified.

Lawyer Howe and his assistant, Joe said they had no misgivings about “hoodoos,” and were only interested in thelr who, they said, would prove that Mrs. Nack and not he was the guilty per- son. Toward noon a messenger arrived with the information that Justice Samuel’ T. Maddox would try the case, and at 1 o'clock the judge arrived. Early the following day the jury was completed. The evidence pro- duced at the abortive trial was reproduced with the exception of Mrs. Nack. Gotha on the stand told the story of Thorn’s con- fession to him and corroborated in many ways Ms. Nack. He Accused Mrw Nack. The defendant's lawyers were compelled to chang= their line of defense and decided to put Thorn on the stand to testify that Mrs. Nack did the killing and that he only helped ta dispose of the body. The people's case closed cn the afternoon of Friday, Novem! er 26, and an adjournment was or- dered 1ntil Monday, November 2.

This was on November 30, and on Decem. ber 8 Thorn was sentenced to die by elec- tricity in Sing Sing during the week begin- ning January 10, this year. Lawyer Howe stayed the death proceedings by anpealing the case, but the court of appeals affirmed the verdict of the other court and fixed the date of execution for the week beginning August 1. Under the new law it was not necessary to bring Thorn from the prison to the county, In which he was convicted, and he had remained in the death house at Sing Sing since Saturday, December 4. Early last January Mrs. Nack was al- lowed to plead guilty to manslaughter, and was senter.ced to fifteen years’ imprison- ment, which she is now serving in Auburn prison. The lenient manner in which the self-confessed murderess was treated by the authorities was a surprise to many. She will regain her freedom in about twelve years. —_>—_—_ THUNDER SHOWERS TONIGHT. Probably Fair Weather Indicated for Tuesdny. Forecast till 8 p.m. Tuesday—For the Dis- trict of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, increasing cloudiness and thunder showers tonight, probably fair Tuesday; southwesterly winds, becoming variable. Weather conditions and general forecast— Rain and thunder showers have occurred in the Ohio, the Mississippi and lower Mis- souri valleys and in the middle Atlantic states, and these conditions will probably prevail in the lower lake region, New Eng- land and the middle Atlantic states this af- ternoon and tonight, with prospects of clearing weather in the lower lake region and the middle Atlantic states Tuesday. The temperatures remain nearly normal over the whole country, except in the Mis- souri and upper Mississippi valleys, where it is slightly below. The pressure is high in the Saint Law- rence valley and northeasterly winds from this high area will probably give cooler weather to New England and northern New York Tuesday morning. Fair weather may be expected in the southwestern states. A storm of slight intensity has developed in the lower lake region.

By direction of the Secretary of War, or- ders have been issued that Miami shall be abandoned as one of the permanent camps of United States forces, and that the troops now there shall be transferred immediately to Jacksonville. There are now at Miami about 7,500 troops, under command of Major General J. Warren Keifer, They are volunteers, the division comprising the 1st and 2d Texas, the Ist and 2d Alabama and the ist and 24 Louisiana. The orders issued to General Keifer are that he shall proceed as soon as possible to Jacksonville, PRO AND CON Press Opinions Upon the Terms of Peace, Shall the Philippines Be Held or Not ond What Shall Be Done With Then All the Philippines as a Conling Sta- tion. From the New York Tribune. Just a ccaling station and nothing more in the Philippines would doubtless be suffi- cient for the United States to retain, pro- vided it were big enough. And there are thcse who think that such a:station to be big enough would have to include the whole archipelago. A Concert of the Powers. From the St. Louis Republic. If the United States government wishes to be original and brilliant in diplomacy, the Philippines offer the opportunity. We neither covet nor, need the islands. Yet we are under plain obligations to Aguirialdo and his fellow patriots, and un- der still plainer obligations to the general cause of humanity and commercial pro- grees. We could surprise Europe, rid ourselves of a problem and discharge our obligations by calling in a concert of powers to take charge of the Philippines, reserving a har- bor for our exclusive ownership. The action would give the Monroe doctrine fixed status abroad and relieve us of all embar- rassments. And Europe ought to be highly delighted. Annex the Philippines. From the Cincinnat! Times-Star. We would be justified by dozens-of inter- national precedents in holding both the Philippines and Porto Rico, Cuba {s not to be ours, at least until she comes to us vol- untarily as Hawali did, and the small is- land of Porto Rico is by no means an equivalent for the claim we have against Spain. Now the question arises, is it not Detter policy to demand the cost of the war from Spain, holding the Philippines as se- curity, than to demand certain naval sta- tions, or even the whole colony, unaccom- panied by indemnity? To band the Philippines back to Spain would be an act of cowarcice; to give them to the protection of another’ power would be confession of weakness, to which this growing nation will be ashamed to sub- scribe. Let the demands be: Free Cuba, the annexation of Porto Rico and the: Fhil- ippines held until Spain pays the costs of war. This would be equivalent to the free- ing of Cuba and the annexation of Porto Rico and the Philippines. Why should we shrink from this? Must We Free the Spanish, Also? From the New Haven Leader. In the Philippines the insurgents have not been recognized by this government, but Dewey has accepted them as allies in a cer- tain sense, but to what extent perhaps even President McKinley does not know. We do not believe it wise to take the Philippines merely for the sake of acquiring territory, but if any moral obligation has been in- curred it must not be violated. It is urged that the natives of the Philippines have Leen oppressed and kept in f semi-civilized condition by reason cf spanish rule, and for this reason this count:y ought to insist that Spanish control of the Philippines should cease. That argument has no limi- tetions if accepted as sound. In Spain two- thirds of the people can neither read nor rite; their mental and moral development has been hindered and almost stopped by Spamsh rule. It is the duty of the United States to free-the Spanish people from their own rulers and sysvem of government? Certainly the argument to which we refer leads irresistibly to unat conclusion, : — * Why Haggle About the Philippines. From the Cincinnati Commeretal ‘Eribune. Up to date the war.has «probably cost all of $150,000,000, ‘The American’ army numbers about 300,000 men. Spain is van- quished, Cuba is, or soon will be, free. ‘To square things may cost this country an- other hundred millions.\‘And¢what will we have to show for all this? | Victory, in the first place, with a national prestige never, probably, to be effaced. ‘That is worth a hundred millions, and more, though it is a thing not! to Be purchased.

The country is a winner from any point of view, and the terms the President may dictate can not be objected to by any one, even the most selfish. To Do as We Please. From the Cincinnat! Enquirer. The arrangement of terms of peace be- tween the United States and Spain ought to be easy, if all parties mean business. Spain must relinquish Cuba and Puerto Rico, ani the government of the United States must reserve the right to do as it pleases about the Philippines or other Is- lands that may have fallen under our care; and there must be no relaxation in our warlike front till the proper time. No Real Estate Business pines. rom the New York Mail and Express (rep.). So far the terms may be considered as formulated. It is on the question of the re- tention of the Philippine group that .the President is testing public opinion in order ; to reinforce his own judgment. He cannot but be impressed with ihe preponderance of sentiment evidenced by the public pre whick indorses the opinion put forth by the nd Express immediat upon victory, thet as a nation we have estate business in the Philippines. in Philip- Coaling Stations and Unrestricted Trade. From the Lewtston Jovrnal (rep.). The United States will rae the day it ap- Prupriates the spoi ystem to any of its possessions or lends noble heritage of liberty sol kk of exacting profit from its conqutsts. No one anticipates anything of this sort, but, on the contrary, it is our faith thac it is the purpose of President McKinley in tac preliminary set- tlement of this a © for gen- cra! welfare of the Whether Spain can ever re the control of the Philippines is doub: T? our nation gives ever these isiands to Spain, that country might at once be compctled to enter upon a war of reconquest that would be disastrous in its consequences. Vhe general tenor of foreign opinions is, therefor, that America would do well te iet go of the Philippmes; return them to Spain, retaining yights of coaling stations thereon and exacting privi- lege Of unrestricted tiade with the islands. Meet Spain Half Way. From the Boston Traveler (ind. rep.). The generosity of power is one of its most resplendent qualities, and_we can well af- ford to be gracious toward our foes in the terrible hour of acknowledgment of defeat. It has been proved to the world that Amer- ica fears or need fear no foe. Our soldiers and sailors have entwined the stars and stripes with the glory of valor and skill and have demonstrated to the world that America is the mighty giant of the uni- verse. With so much that is satisfying we can well afford to be gracious and to meet Spain something more than half way in the negotiations that shall restore har- mony between the nations. The foul deed that destroyed the Maine has been avenged so far as the blood of those innocent and the destruction of the property and the humbling of the nation responsible could avenge it. Our ability to drive the Span- iard from the soil of Cuba has been dem- onstrated by the capture of a great prov- ince of the island with 25,000 soldiers. The chief object of the war, liberty for Cuba, is all but attained. Spain has indicated a desire for peace and we are prepared, as we should be, to grant it. To prolong the strife for the mere purpose of territorial aggrandizement would be un-American and would nullify the central idea of a war begun for justice. Hold the Philippines. From the Boston Journat (rep.). Spain must give up Cuba, and she must give up Porto Rico. She must do one thing more. depart forever from the Philippines. She is a tenant there now only at our will; the real backbone of her power was broken when Admiral Dewey smashed her squad- ron at Cavite. For three months the Phil- ippine insurgents have been fighting as our friends and allies. They have given us as- sistance, we have given them our help. Though there be no written bond between them and us, there is a moral bond which imperatively forbids us to betray them to the dungeon, the rack and the garrote of Spain. She must Almost Lost Her Hold. e Detroit Journal. Fritne President and’ cabinet having more information on all points that relate to this matter than has the general public, will come, no doubt, to wise and proper con- clusions. Spain has almost lost her hold on the Philippines, that fs certain. Perhaps Luzon. Y ¢ Memphis Cor:mereial-Appeal. Fron the Pacifie side we can afford to be more generous. Now that we have the Hawaiian Islands, a point of more impor- tance and of more strategic value than all the others, all we need is to provide our commerce with coaling and cable stations here and there throughout the orient and on the way there. The Carolines, the Phil- ippines, the Ladrones, should each be tax- ed for a coaling station, so that our mer- chant ships may be able conveniently to reach their customers among the 900,000,000 people of that section of the globe. Con- ditions may be such in the Island of Luzon as to compel us to teke charge of the city of Mé&nila, or the entire island perhaps. Having gone so far, we are morally bound to secure to the islanders a stable form of government, and it may be necessary, in order to do this, to occupy the place with @ military force for some time to come. Being masters of the situation, we, of course, must bé guided by our own inter- ests in the matter. No Permanent or Indefinite Occupa- tio: From the Chattanooga News. The United States will demand the pos- session of certain islands in the Pactfic ocean as coaling stations. Some of these will be in the Philippines, but it has not yet been entirely decided what will be dcne with the Philippines as a whole. It is gratifying, however, to learn that the cabinet is unanimously opposed to holding the islands permanently or to oc- cupying them for an indefinite period for the sake of extorting a large indemnity. Our policy is to take care of our own con- tinent, and let the European nations squab- ble as much as they like over Asia, Africa | and Polynesia.

Con- D., wn servatives and expansionists are at one on these propositions. As for the Philippine question as a whole and a naval base in the Carolines, we believe the nation is perfect!y willing to allow the administration to u: its own best judgment. - It knows the prob- lem better than outsiders, and whatever it shall decide upon will be cheerfully ac- cepted by the people. There is abundant evidence that the country has left the mat- ter unreservedly in the hands of the admin- istration. The principle of “maximum trategic and commercial advantage with 2 minimum of governmental responsibilit attributed to the administration is unque tionably sound and statesmaniike. It of- fers the most satisfactory solution of the difficult problem. Annexation an Irretrievable Blunder. From the Richmond Dispatch (Dem.). President McKinley is represented as be- ing firmly of the opinion that the United States have no use for the Philippines as @ permanent pc ion. We are of the same 0) ion. sons we have stated time and again we think that the annexa- tion of the islands would be a terrible blun- der—would, perhaps, prove an irretrievable blunder. Nene the less, we recognize, as we have intimated, that the final solution of the question, hat about the Philip- 2” presents one of the most difficult problems we have ever had to face. Still, we believe that it can be solved satisfac- torily through the channels of negotiation —still we believe it need not interfere avith concluding a treaty of peace—if the ad- ministration, in approaching its solutic will rise superior to party influences and make statesmanship rather than partisan- ship the test of the courisel it should take in the crisis. pine: Present Solution Impossible. From the Philadelphia Telegraph (Ind. Rep.). If we bind ourselves to restore the whole group to Spain we can only do so honor- ably after we have restored also the status quo ante bellum by suppressing the insur- rection which, as a necessary war measure, we have aided and abetted in such degree as to render it too formidable for Spain to suppress in her present crippled and exhausted condition. This means that we shall undertake a protracted, expensive and sanguinary war for the sole benefit of Spain, and that is, or should be, as repug- nant as is the necessary accompaniment of thrusting back under the corrupt and ob- noxious rule of the common enemy the native population to whom we have held out the hope of final and complete relief therefrom. The retention of a coaling station in the Philippines, with a sufficient strip of sur- rounding territory to make our position tenable, which is advocated on all sides, would not materially mend matters; the contrast between the condition of the peo- ple included in our concession and those beyond its boundaries would be a standing source of trouble to us and to Spain alike— a never-ending incitement to revolt, unless Spain should so take to heart the lessons of this war as to radically change her colonial methods, which $s altogether im- probable. From whatever point of view the subject is regarded a decision as to the final disposition of the Pacific isiands at this present moment is utterly impossi e. a For striking Daniel Carter, colored, who is a cripple, James Mitler, also colored, was tecay sent to jail for thirty days by Judge Mills. —__— INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS.
