TvKtlinimy-.omcUL Ar cr. tlvo but Ilia Hl.iryuf the Oulclrnmippo Munlnr I Known. Mrs. Nark yetnrday wont nrn the stand mid tutiioil State's eviilonra Bgninst Mnrtin Thorn with whom she was jointly indicted for the killing of William UuldonRurpe. The story of the confession is told in a Now York dispat'-li as follows: It is said that Einannol Friend, the counnol for Augusta Nack, who Is In die' (1 with Martin Thorn for the mur der of William Quldensuppe In a cot tne at WoodHlde, L. I,, telephoned to the Sun ofllre lnt nluht that Mrs. Nack had made a confexialon, and that alio would appear aa a witness for the State on Thorn's trial. Mr. Friend waa retained by one of the city papers to defend Mrs. Nack. Mr. Friend, at the same hour, be tween 9 and 10 o'clock at night, sent word by telephone to the name effect to District Attorney Youngs, to Will iam F. Howe, counsel for Thorn, and to various other persons. JIe linked District Attorney Youngs to meet him early this morning at the Long Island City Court House and said that he would then furnish Mr. Youngs with full particulars. William F. Howe was awakened In his room at the Park Avcnuo Hotel about 9.30 by a bellboy, who handed him a card, upon which was written: "W. F. Howe Mrs. Nack has con fessed and will be the first witness for the State In the morning. "E. M. FUIRND." Mr. Howe did not appear perturbed, and made a statement of what effect Mrs. Nark's confession would have on Thorn's chances of acquittal. "At first 1 was astonished," he said, "but two minutes' reflection dismissed my doubt and perturbation. I came to the conclusion that if Lady Macbeth killed Duncan she had a perfect right to uay so, but she lied about when Bho aid her husband committed the crime. "I knew, and 'Manny' Friend knew, that I had ns perfect a case as could be built. I am utterly at loss to under stand haw any lawyer could sanction his client making a confession when there was such an utter absence of proof against her. Assuming her Btory Is true, which I deny as far as It may Implicate Thorn, there would be no evidence to prove that she waa more than an accessory. SENATOR FORAKER TALKS. Ftutf'N Ills I'ONltllMI ns t 111 Ohio Seniif orlnl Situation. Washington, Nov. 10. Senator Fora l:er arrived here yesterday afternoon from Cincinnati. He said he thought most of the disturbance over the Ohio Henntorshlp was In the Democratic papers. He continued: "I do not know a thing about a fight over the Senatorshlp, except as I see statements to that effect in the news papers. I have not talked with Gov. Kushnell or any of the members-elect of the General Assembly, directly or Indirectly, on the subject, and I do not know what Is contemplated. Ml I have said to any one Is that. so far as I am concerned, the campaign ended on election day. So long as It was a fight against Democrats, I spared neither time nor strength. If there should be a contest among Re publicans, I shall not have anything to do with It, If allowed to act according to my preferences. Senotor Foraker expects to go to New York to-night or to-morrow. SI nst 1'ay Dumnitcs to France. Chicago, Nov. 10.

WADE HAMPTON'S LAST REPORT. ow Water Mnrk of Itnllvrny llnllil- Intt Kenelipil I.nut Year. Wnshlnaton, Nov. 10. Ilefore Gen. Wade Hampton retired from the office f Commissioner of Railroads he filed ith Secretary Rllss his annual report for the year ended on Sept. SO which as Just been made public. He notes hat the long period of depression In railroad business reached Its loweat point In 1S!6, when the falling off In nssenger traffic and demoralization n frrlght rates, together with the de- rease In volume of business, most se riously nfTected the earnings. The low water mark," the Commis sioner continues, "was reached In rail way construction, and during the year thirty-four roads, with 6,441 miles of road, passed into the hands of the ourts, and fifty-eight others, which had been previously placed In receiv ers' hands, were sold at foreclosure." Regarding the settlement of the Union Faclflc debt, Gen. Hampton says: I have. In each one of my previous reports, recommended the adjustment of the Indebtedness of the Pacific rail roads to the Government through the medium of a commission to be ap- olnted by the President, and It has al ways seemed to me that a settlement more advantageous to the Government could be obtained If all the compan ies, particularly the Union ond Cen- ral Pacific, could be negotiated with t the some time, and possibly In the ame way, than could be accomplished by settling with them at different times and on a different basis. I am not disposed, however, to question the wisdom of the course pursued by the Department of Justice In the case of the Union Pacific Railway, and viewed from a financial standpoint. It would seem to be about the best thing for the Government to do under the circum stances. The main objections which ave been urged against this method f settlement have come from strong advocates of Government ownership, or of operation under Government su pervision. I have always regarded this as not only a doubtful, but a dan gerous experiment, which would In volve the Government in enormous ex pense and would In all probability re- ult disastrously." IN LEAGUE WITH SATAN. Murderer Make ThU AntonUhlnB I'Iru (or Defenne. rov N. II., Nov. 10. His compact with Putan was witnessed by a clergy man, Joseph K. Kelly Bald yesterday. when his trial for the murder of Cash- er Joseph A. Stlckney, of the Great Falls National Rank, In Somersworth, began before the Supreme Court. This astonishing statement, upon which the defense will base a plea of nsunlty, was made to tho prisoner's counsel, James Ryau, Jr., of this place. Kver since I was 11 years old," he has said, "Satan has been my constant companion. And the agreement with him will not run out until January 15, ISM. I will be 25 years old then. My first act under the agreement was to steal a watch, and I was Impelled to deeds worse anil worse until I killed the old man In the doorway of his bank and took all the money In sight." Many Insanity experts have been re tained by the defense, and a doctor who treated Kelly for some Injury to the head years ago has been subpoe naed as a witness. A LAND OF SKELETONS. , Famine Iteducea Men to Uence in Archangel. St. Petersburg, Nov. 10. A terrible famine Is ravaging the Province of Archangel, a Government of European Russia, In the extreme north, extend- ng from the Ural Mountain on tne east to Finland on the west. Many have already died of starvation. The neoole wander about, reducea al most to skeletons, their heads swollen to the size of buckets. Tea ! the only means of subsistence. The Province of Archangel has an area of nearly two hundred and ninety thousand square miles, but It Is one continuous flat and almost an unvaried scene of desolation, especially in tne most northern parts, where the ground remains frozen nine montns in uie year.

The timber forms tne principal weaiin. in suite of these unfavorable conai- tlons, the province has a population of about three hundred thousand souls. Revealed Through Jealouy. New Orleans, Nov. 10.
