Vienna, Austria (By Cable).?Tho promulgation
of martial law at Prague ha;
been followed by satisfactory results. The
swiftness of its operation awed the unruly.
Some Czechs made an attack on the
troops, but were quickly dispersed, and
four of the ringleaders were captured.
They were immediately handed over to the
special tribunal, tried, sentenced to twenty
years' penal servitude and conveyed to the
penitentiary within three hours.

and the whole scene is such as one would
expect to see after a bombardment. There
are whole streets of wrecked houses, burnt
outbuildings and broken windows, and
roads are littered with rubbish. Men gaze
into many places showing the trail of the
plunderer and of the incendiary.
Germans who fled in terror from Prague !
during the riot and pillage are now returning.
and it is to be hoped that in a few ,
days order will so far be restored as topermit
the repeal of martial law.
In other parts of Bohemia serious conflicts
have occurred between the Czech'
and the Germans. At Klodno the Czechs,
blew up a German notary's house with
dynamite. At Berauu the rioters lootod
German and Jewish bouses and had to be 1
dispersed by the military. Similar excesses
occurred at Pilsen,'while at Bodenbaeh.
where tne Germans predominate, th<
Czechs were brutally attackod. The Czec) I
inhabitants of Gablouz have appealed fot J
military protection against their German i
fellow citizens.
Several German newspapers suggest that
the riots In Bohemia were instigated bv the
Czech Deputies In order to intlmtdate the
Government. Certainly the tone.ot the reoent
articles in the Narodul Llsty, the organ
of the young Czechs, favors the suspicion.
The Czech papers blame the Germans, and
the anti-Semitic journals attribute all the
responsibility to Jewish influence.
There is really little to choose betweej
the Germans and the Czechs. Both havi
been equally guilty. When the Czechs pre
ponderated the Germans have been at
tacked and plundered, and when the Gen
mans predominated the lives and tho propi
ertv or the Czechs have been assailed. Thi
Nationalist sentiment in both peoples is ol
a rabidly violent oharacter, and threaten*
the existence of the Austrian Empire.
Baron Gautsch's attempts to bring aboul
a compromise between tho majority and

Dr. Kramarsch, the Viee-President of thi
'Beichsrath, has informed the representatlvi
of the Budapester Tagebiatt that, unlike
Count Badeni, neither President Abraham;ovics
nor he would resign because the mob
was trying to Intimidate them. He considered
it Impossible to carry the "Ausgleich*

between Austria and Hungafy
would probably have to be prolonged bj

MOTHER M'KINLEY STRICKEN.
Tli* President Harried to the Cantor
Horn* of His Venerable Parent. ^
News of the stroke of paralysis which
Mrs. Nancy Allison McKinley, mother ol
the President, fell a victim to, at Canton>
Ohio, reached the Chief Executive whilt
busily engaged in preparing for the opening
of Congress, and it was of such as
alarming nature ' that he immediately
stopped work on his Message and hastened
to his venerable parent's bedside.
The President arrived at Canton from
Washington at 8.45 o'cloek Friday morning
and spent the day at his mother's bedside.
It is believed that she realized his presence,
though she was nnable to giro uny positive
sign of recognition.
President McKinley decided to return tc
Washington for the opening of Congress,
notwithstanding his family calamity. It
is necessary for the President to receive
the joint committee from the two houses,
and until this committee has waited on
him and received his communication the
regular business of Congress cannot proceed.
In view of these facts, the President felt
it his duty to return to Washington, so as
not to delay the opening of Congress at the
regular time. He arranged to leave Canton
at 2.05 o'clock Saturday afternoon in
tho special car provided for him, reaching
Washington Sunday morning and, his imperative
Executive duties over.to return to
Ronton.

The Jury In the Sensational MnrilorTrial
at Tons Island City Returned a Verdict
After Three Honrs* Deliberation
The Utile Barber Displayed No
1 Emotion When He Was Convicted.
Net York Citt (Special). Wartin Thorn
was declared by the verdict of a jury in
Loner Tsiand City, at 3.33 p. m., Tuesday, to
be guilty of murder in the first degree for
the killing of William Gnldensuppe at
Woodsido, L. I.. June 25, 1397. Tho verdict
follows a long series of horrors and
surprises, including the confession of >Irs.
Xaek. the accomplice, and tho adjournment
of the frst trial owing to the illness
of Juror Larsen, which began on tho day
following the murder, when a fragment of
a human body was accident's* found floating
in the Esst River at Eleventh street,
this city.
The verdict was followed bv another surprise
when Thorn, after leaving the courtroom.
apparently strong, cheerful, and
hoperul. suddenly broke down, confessed
his guilt, and declared that .Mrs. Nack had
tola tue trum.
The proceedings of the day in court were
characterized by businesslikeceluritv. Tho
evidence having been ended the evening before,
the jury visited tho scene of the tragedy.
heard the arguments for the people
and the defense, and gave its verdict after
three hours of consideration and balloting,
and dispersed. The fate of Mrs. Augusta
Nack. jointly indicted with Thorn, remains
in doubt.
Justice Maddox ended his charge to the
jnw at 2.35 o'clock p. m. The jurors were
mm ~dlately dismissed to consider their
> er llet. and a recess was ordered. 80 intense
was the interest in the ontcome of
the trial that, weary as was the wait, not a
single individual leftthn court. The hands
of the olook were pointing to the half-hour
after live when a stir was noticed nt the
door of the room to which the jury had retired.
it was signalled from the inside that
tho jurors had agreed. Justice Maddox
was summoned from his room.
Thorn, who had already been summoned,
was stolid to the last. During the three
long hours that the jury spent in deliberation
he was kept in his cell downstairs?
two flights below the Supreme Court room
in the Queens County Court House. Outwardly
ho showed no trace of worry, and
his calm was in decided contrast to the
evident nervousness of others who had
taken part in the trial, and whose Interest
was less direct in the result.
When Police Captain Methven went to
get him at about half-past Ave o'clock, and
told him that the jury had agreed. Thorn
expressed pleasure at the news, and said
he hoped the result was either conviction
of murder or an ncquital.
He put his right hand forward to receive
the shackle.- around his wrist and then he
harried up stairs, through the jostling,
curious persons whostare at him every time
he passes and who make comments that
cannot fail to reach hi6 ears. There were
women who cost languishing glances, tittered
and giggled, while men who usually
haunt the cosey corners of barrooms mattered
vile epithets and Imprecations.
Thorn reached the court room at almost
the sam^ instant that the iurors entered
by another door.
"Gentlemen of the jury," said the clerk,
"stand up and face the prisoner. Prisoner,
face the jury."
Th* Jurymen rose to thoir feet, their
eyes still on the floor. Thorn, too, arose,
but he did not faos the men who held his
life in their hands. He looked straight
ahead at the wall.
"Have you arrived at a verdict?" called
the clerk.
There was no answer, nor a woru came
from the jary box. Tho suspense was
painful, but still Thorn looked straight
ahead, with not a muscle twitching.
"What say you?" called the clerk again.
"Guilty," was the answer in a choking
voice. "We And the defendant guilty as
charged In the indictment."
It was Thomas Moore, the foreman, who
spoke, and he was trembling with emotion.
A murmur went through the courtroom,
but still Thorn stood impassive.
"Call the roll." said tne Court, and one
by one the Clerk read ofT the names.
"Guilty," "guilty," "guilty," they said.
;ooe after another, and as they said it
Thorn's eyes fell hard upon them.
Through and through oach man he scorned
to look as each answered to his name.
District Attorney Young then asked that
a day be fixed for passing sentenco of
death. Mr. Howe, counsel lor tho defense,
asked that a day be set on which he might
argue a motion for a new trial. The Justice
told him it would be useless, aod then
and there denied the motion,
i Thorn, when he was taken back to jail,
told nis guard. Captain Methven, that he
was glad it was over and that ho expected
tho verdict.
"I killed Guldensuppe," he said, "and 1
cut up the body. Evory word Mr. Na;k
saiu UAI HID WHUDS3 o.auu niu ii0iu.
His lawyer, William F. Howe, said thai
he would light the easo and carry it up tc
tho highest court.
When Mrs. Naclc heard of the verdlot she
said she was glad she had told the truth
and that she was ready to die. Tho genera
opinion is that a plea of manslaughter wil
be accepted from her. District Attorney
Youngs said he had not yet decided whai
disposition would bs made of Mrs. Kack'i
case.
THE HAYTIAN AFFAIR.

An' Invasion of England.
According to popular estimate, It
requires not less tban three generations
of wealth to evolve a gentleman
from the common herd of humanity.
By this standard of measurement Mr.
W. Astor (it is not necessary to follow
the custom of New York papers
end use type enough to spell his entire
name) is a gentleman, as are
many other descendants from the
traders, smugglers, and fishermen of
old Manhattan. His grandfather, who
smelled strongly of salted pelts, in
which he dealt, has left the Englishspeaking
business world tho invaluable
symbol "O. K.," which he
first used, these letters being the
initial ones of the two words, "Oil
Korrect, "as that dealer in hides spelled
them. Somewhat to the consternation
of New York society, Mr. Astor,
he of the third generation, actually
contemplates going to London to reside.
Now, no one questions his
right to reside where it pleases him
best, for he is only one of many who
look upon America in its newness
and rawness as only suitable for money:making,
but as not the place in
which to get the best things out of this
life. How common the expression,
"Europe is the only land in which to
live." The Astors have always
been noted for looking well to the interests
of the Astors, and the present
possessor of the Astor estates may
reside where it best suits him, and
none need seriously question his
a? wasaIva Tn "Pnfflnn/i ocr\o_
U1SIV \Jl IWUilVl xu JUU^1U11U| VOj/V
cially in London, a gentleman can
always have the society of gentlemen,
especially when, like Mr. Astor, he
has more than a pecuniary independence.
According to the rule above
cited, Mr. Jay Gould cannot be regarded
a gentleman, and that title
can only rest upon his grandson,
should a goodly proportion of the
Go^d wealth be preserved for
him, and this long after the
ancestral Jay, like the ancestral Astors,
has found oblivion in the tomb, j
"Who knows but that the great and
powerful families of England a generation
or two hence may be the
Astors, Vanderbilta and the Goulds.
England may manage American j
breweries, while the "irony of fate" i
is likely to "even up" this invasion oi
of our malt interests by furnishing
the seargirt isle with her "first fam-1
Hies." _

CHIEF OF THE COMANCHES.
Bis Indian "Who Was Erroneously
Keported Murdered.
Quanah Parker, the big chief of the
Comanches, who was erroneously reported
murdered by an outlaw In the
Southwest, only to be found alive and
well at Sherman, Texas, is the richest
and in many respects the most civilized
of American Indians. He Is the principal
chief of his tribe, and lives in a
|6,000 house in the midst of a great cattic
ranch, over which range thousands
of fine cattle and hundreds of well-bred
j horses. He has seven wives and a very
j large family of children. Four of his
i children are students at the Carlisle
J (Pa.) Indian school, and Parker recenti
ly paid a visit to that institution and
: was very much interested in its work.
: Parker'* mother was a white woman
who was stolen in her infancy from her
people by the Comanches. She married
one of the warriors of the tribe,

ALASKA FISH.
fhey Are Used for Food, Light and
Heat by the Natives.
A species of fish abounds In be -y
waters of Alaska that are useful loth' ;<
is food and fuel. They are taken In' . f-j
immense quantities with nets and lines. V&|
After being caught they are dried and .. .
stored away until the long wlHter
months arrive, when it gets dark early
and the Alaskan is snowed up. Here
?omes an opportunity for using them. >,3
Not a bit at a loss for light, the Alasi
lean takes one of these dried fish, in- ' -t
! serfs its tail into a crack in his rough vjJj
! wooden table and lights its nose. The
! fish burns with a bright and steady
! tight of about three candle power, givi
Ing a clear, white light and a very eon- " jfl
j siderable amount of heat. A fairly
i targe fish will burn for a period of three , ^ *
hours. JV#
The scientific explanation is extreme
ly simple. The vertebrae which form
the back-bone of the fish are found to
be largely formed of phosphorus, which
not only causes it to Ignite easily, but
also accounts for the strength of the
flame and the heat developed. The sub* _
stance of the fish, which consists so
largely of fat, acts as a retarder to the 'ii-,
rapid burning of the vertebrae in preMspIv
the same way as the tallow acta
In an ordinary candle. Tlie fat of the" , v.fr
fish Is largely, composed of stearlne. ,
which Is also the chief chemical constituent
of the tallow used for making candles,
and which gives them their firmness
and consistency.
Valuable as Is the fish for Its light- ' $
glv'ng properties, It also has Its talue
as a food. If necessary It can be eaten
after having been used as a candle, it >>
then l??lng simply smoked, or It can be
boiled or cooked In the ordinary manner.
In whichever way it Is treated, to * !
a hungry man It serves as a very welcome
and appetizing dish. Iu flavor it
Is much like the smelt, having the
same sweet taste, but Is much fatter.
I Still another use to which it can be
I put is as a substitute for cod liver oil, '
t which. If taken in sufficient quantity,
I hr nhllnsr the natural heat of the body.
proves an excellent protective against
the severe cold. The oil is obtained
! from the fish by Immersing them in
cold water and squeezing, the product
obtained being almost equal in quality
to the genuine cod liver oil.
