( Copyright , 1S97 , by 1'rtrn rubljthlnc Comimny ) LONDON , Nov. 3. ( Now York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Colonial Sec retary Chamberlain , rtieaklng yesterday as guest of the Glasgow corporation , dealt at length with the recent mayoralty contest In Now York. Speaking of the possibility of municipal Institutions In this country de teriorating , ho said : "In the metropolis of the United States of [ America , full of educated , cultivated , pa triotic pccple , wo flml that , according to American evidence , a government of nearly two millions of pccple has been handed over for four years to an Institution whose ob ject avowedly is to get the greatest amount of spoils. That Is n most terrible result and -worth Inqulrltig whether the possibility exists In regard to our Institutions. What are the principles we must hold If we desire sireto avoid such a result ? The explana tions given do not cccm to mo altogether satisfactory. It Is said that In New York ( hero Is a mixed population , hut that Is not sufficient to account for the state of things wo are considering. Many of thcso strangers to whom the United States Is opening Its arms with so much generosity , welcoming to the franchise perhaps a. little before they are prepared for It are not at all likely to lend themselves to anything In the nature of n corrupt administration , Germans especially. In many of our largo towns we have a mixed population , therefore nothing Is sufficiently distinctive In that case to justify us coming to the conclusion that that Is the cause ot the gnat dlfllculty. It Is then said that politics have been Introduced into American corporate life. That Is true , but It requires some explanation In the ordinary sense of the word that would not In the least ac count for what wo are discussing , because politics do not enter In the usual sense Into municipal elections In any American cities. This last election was conducted by an Inde pendent political organization existing out- Ido the regular parties in the state. SOURCE OK WEAKNESS. "I believe the whole source of weakness lies In the system of administration rather than in anything connected with outside po litical coiiBtdcmtlons , , and also In the public opinion which tolerates the system of ad ministration. I bcllevo the success of our system hero and the failure of the American bystem are to bo found In the different ways In which wo trust officials. By officials I mean everybody employed by corporations. There ore In the first p'.ace ' the higher of ficials with whom corporations undertake such business as Is conducted by great mu nicipalities. In England and Scotland their higher offi-clals are men Intrusted with the management of departments , with the con trol of great manufacturing concerns or com plicated systems ot finance. They must be men of special capacity , else there will be an Inefficient administration and great waste of public money. You must have the very best of men In their resyectlvo capacities. Dut to have such men three things are necessary Tliey must bo Irremovable ex cept for some gross proved offense ; they muat ho selected originally for merits abso lutely without regard to their political opinions ; they must bo paid the market price for their services. , ANOTHER DANGER. "Thero Is another danger which I think oven more serious than any want of fair on- Bldoratlon for higher official , that Is If higher officials may occasionally be paid less than market wages thcro Is great fear lest lower ofilclils should be paid more than their market value. That la a real danger. I agrco * thet a corporatlin should belmvo os well as the most liberal private employers , not onp whit better , 'because ' If It does bc- have better what It Is doing Is to create a privileged class of workmen to whom public office It , Itself a distinct advantage , the Inevitable temptation creating the condi tion Into which certain American municipal ities have fallen. Make these privileged iwats the real reward for political service. Wliat happens thnn ? The man who gets a post of this kind thinks ho has < loue all that ought to bo expected of him and the last itulng he expects to do Is to give fair value for the money ho receives. When you have observed pasts of this kind going at will to a political pifty. thcro naturally arrives n demand for them and as a number of political posts will never equal tha demand itlio next thing Is to put In two men to do thu work of one. If you consider for a mo ment the effect of this you will find , I ( Irmly bellovo , < the whlo secret ot failure in American local Institutions , Jfe are over no foolish is to abandon the business. like , honorable system upon which our pub lic work l now conducted we may fall at Oast aa low us our cousins unfortunately have < lnc ? , " Thcso criticisms on local concerns of a foreign state by a cabinet minister are con sidered In political circles as a serious India. crollon.

LONDON , Nov. 9. In spite of a thick drizzle and a heavy fog the ancient custom of presenting the elected chief magistrate ot London to the representatives of the sov ereign and to the people was observed to day with succors. The usual throng lined the route oml the decorations were more numerous than usual. They consisted mainly cf triumphal arches , Venetian masts , floral festoons nnd a liberal display of bunt ing. ing.Uut In spite of the weather a more stirring proof ot the popularity of London's yearly pageant , known as the lord mayor's proces sion , bis not been given In a long time- duo very largely to the conspicuously bril liant year ol office of the retiring chief magistrate , Sir George Faudo'.l Phillip ? . Even the radical critics , who annually protest against the existence ot the 'corporation of London within the area dominated liy the county council , had nothing but praise to day for the altogethsr admirable ofilclnl career of Lord Major Phllllm. "hlch bin given the quietus for years to come to any serious attempt at abolishing the corpora tion. It was not surprising , therefore , that the precession passed through aenso masses of cbcerlns people while windows , balconies and roofs were veiy generally utilized and the larger open places , such ns Trafalgar square , * worj crowded to their capacity. The "show , " although attractive as a mere spectacle , looked even more tawdry than usual In the fog , mud and rain to day , although to many people these cir cumstances did not make it any the less attractive as a historical relic , a survival of the days when the corporation of the city of London played Its part , and that no light one. In the contest for constitutional free dom and material wellbelng. In Us origin the mayor's procession wus Intended as an ajseitlon of the Importance of trade and commerce , long previously ground down by kings and nobles. The city companies came Into existence , formed a powerful municipal ity , and , making guild hall their headquar ters , lock care , as a warning to nil whom It might concern , to have the mayor in stalled with the utmost pomp. In the coutse of time the ceremony lot this particular significance and there was no sign today that It has released Its hold of the affections of the community. ALLEGORICAL FEATURES. The procession Included a car represent ing "British Sports , " with n huntsman , bi cyclist , etc. , Including an Indian rcprescnt- Icg Prince Runjltslnghl , illustrating cricltPt. Another car depicted "The Founders of Great Britain , " Including Sir Walter Raleigh , Admiral Penn , Warren Ilastmig , Lord Cllve and Cecil Rhodes. An old stage coach of the year 1S37 was followed by , a modern motor car , presenting striking contrast. Then there were the usual contingents of soldiers , sailors , firemen , artillery and the city companies , the whole- thickly Inter spersed with bands of music. When the procession reached the law courts the lord mayor In his full civic robes , preceded by the recorder , Sir Forest Fulton , and at tended by the retiring lord mayor , the sheriffs , the sword bearer , chaplain , alder men In their sable trimmed gowns , together with other civic functionaries , proceeded to the court of the lord chief justlc-j , where they were received by the judges ottlrcd In scarlet robes , full bottomed wigs and cocked hats. Thcro the usual solemn courtesies wore exchanged , the lord mayor In exercise of an Immemorial right remaining covered while the recorder read an eulogistic review of the now lord mayor's career. It was In the annual Sunday school style , referring to his blameless youth , successful commercial ca reer , and well spent life crowned with the attainment of the highest civic honors. From this court , after the retiring lord mayor had b ° en formally presented to the judgea , the procession went to the court of appeal and was received by the master of the rolls and the appeal Judges attired In their robes of black and gold. The cere- monlss hero were merely formal. The dig nitaries then returned to their coaches and resumed the march to the city. BRILLIANT BANQUET. The brilliancy of the gathering at the lord mayor's banquet at the Guild hall this evening was somewhat marred by the tokens of mourning for the late duchess of Teck. A majority of the ladles present wore blacker or dark gray gowns. The entrance of the marquis of Salisbury , prime minister , and Arthur J. Ralfour , firs I lord of the treasury , was the signal for loud applause , but tbo reception tendered to the foreign diplomats was of the tamest charac ter , as compared with the enthusiasm which last year greeted the then ambassador of the United States , Thomas F. Bayard , After the usual loyal and formal toasts the marquis of Lansdowne , secretary of state for war , responded for "The Army , " In the course of his speech he , eulogized "the gallant work being done on our Indian fron tier , especially by the troops of those native rulers who have long wished to stand shoul der to shoulder with us. " Ho then proceeded to point out the necessity of an Increase ol the army to meet "the requirements of Im perial cxpanblon. " CHEERS FOR SALISBURY. The marquis of Salisbury , on rising , was greeted with several minutes of continuous cheering. He began by deploring the en gineers' dispute which ho said "Involves tbo future protperlty or disaster of the coun try , " but added that ho was glad to say there was a renewed prospect that the Boart of Trade's Intervention would prove success ful. His lordship read a telegram from the queen , asking him to express how deeply her majesty felt the display of loyalty to tbo crown and to her person at the diamond jubilee. After referring to the conduct ol the Indlan < troops on the frontier In terms similar to those useJ. by the marquis of Lansdowne , and warmly praising the con duct of the Anglo-Egyptian expedition In the Soudan , the premier came to tbo leading passage In his speech , Introducing the tangled question of the Niger ac < l the con necting claims and Interests of Great Britain and France In that wctlon of Wcet Africa. He said : "It might not achieve the general concil iatory rroceas desired If I entered frankly Into all the negotiations between the powers rejecting Africa. Wo are all aware of the great extent of territory cist loose during the last twenty years In Africa and put up B tli object ol acquisition for several en terprising governments. The negotiations lhat arc proceeding will poWlbly continue a long time. We desire that .pfrltory to be governed on strict principle * of right , and with a constant regard to It ] prosperity and to the Interests of the emplro. Wo do not desire unjust and Illegitimate achievements and > we do not wlih to take territory simply becuus.o It would look well to paint red on the maps. INSTINCTS STRICTLY COMMERCIAL. "Our objects are strictly business. We wish to extend commerce , , trade , Industry and civilization , to throw open as many markets as possible , and to bring together cs many concumers and products as possible , nd to open the great natural highways anj water ways on the continent , , "Wo wish trade to pursue an unchecked course on the Niger , the Nile and the Zam bezi , and In doing these- things , while we wish to behave In a. neighborly manner and to show due consideration for the feelings aryl claims of others , we are obliged to ray that there Is a limit to tliei exercise of this particular set of feelings and 'wo cannot al low our plain rights to bb overridden. " ( Pro longed cheering. ) Ilia lordship then passed to speak of the situation In the east , lie said the history of the lost year was that * the European con cert had failed to prevent Greece from going to war , liut had'-succecded ' In preserv ing the peace of Europe. H was , ho sub mitted , a greater praiseworthy achievement for the concert to avert that calamity. Ho continued : "Had the concert exerted all Its force to prevent Greeoo from going to war the rcsporslblllty might h'avc rested upon It of prosing Greece frorn > the mop. " AVlth reference to the Cretan question his lordship observed that Ihls was still un settled , but added : "The'concert of Europe Is like a steam roller , with great power , but llttlo speed. " In concluding his speech Lord Salisbury said : "Ono hope we have of preventing the competition of armaments among European powers ending In a terrible effort for mutual destruction fatal to civilization Is that the powers may gradually 'be ' brought to act to gether In a friendly spirit aa towhat ques tions that may arise , ' until at last they shall tie welded Into some International con struction which will give the world , is the it-suit ot their great strength , a long spell of unfettered commerce , prosperous trade and continual peace.

A letter received hero from Vienna says the published reports of the political situation In the Austrian empire con. vey no adequate Idea of the chaos prevailing. "Badenl must go , " Is the general war cry- now , and his downfall Is considered Inevit able , regardless of the outcome of the present fight between the Germans nnd the Czechs. The letter adds : "No one "can foresee how It will end. If the Germans \vln thcro may be bloodshed in Bohemia , and If the Bohemians are persistent the Germans will have to fight with their sharpest weapons to assert their prerogative and EBVo"tho Austro-Hun- garlan duality. The danger , however , lies In the active participation IfTthe fight b the Germans over the border. JThere Is actually a small party In the Itoichsrdth which openly declares for Prussia and wants to eeo the former German provinces , as Bohemia , handed to the Hohenzollerns. " Steamer is Axhore.

General Foster and Sir Julian Pounce- fete conferred today as to the ar rangements for the meeting of Brit ish Canadian and United States representa tives relative to the Bering sea matter. A general understanding was reached that the arrival of Sir Wilfred Laurler and party would permit the meeting to open on Thurs day , as tomorrow Is likely to bo given up to an exchange of views between the Canadians and .British. The British ambassador will ac company the premier to the white house to morrow morning and Introduce him to the president. This will lie a call of courtesy , however , and It is not expected that any of the pending questions will be referred to. The British embassy has extended an Invi tation to Sir Wilfred to bo a guest during his stay here , but he has'determined to remain with tbo other Canadian representatives at the Shorchara , where quarters have been en gaged. It Is now definitely settled that the coming meeting will take a broader tcopo than was at first anticipated.

At the some time the presence of the Cana dian premier Is expected to assist In reaching speedy conclusions , wlthou the usual delays of acting through the Ilrltlsh foreign office , Tha formal execution of these conclusions will devolve entirely on the Imperial author ities In London and their representative here , the British ambassador. It was said at the State department today that the first object would bo to reach a'bet- tleraent on the Bering sea question and with thit out of the way there would bo favorable opening for the Immigrant question and the other questions which Blr Wilfred and his associates regard as paramount to the .MoveiiienH | or Oi-euii VcKitelnYov. . 0 , At Movllle Arrived ParUlan. from ilon- real for Liverpool , At Lizard-Passed St , Loulu , from Now Ygrk for Southampton , MRSJAGK'S ' FULL CONFESSION Gives Complete Details Connected with the Mulder of Quldonsuppe , WILL TESTIFY AGAINST WILLIAM THORN llitvlnpr for AVreUn .Sucernxfully Ite- the HfTorti of the Pollee , She Klnnll > Cited Itn Story iif the Crime. NEW YORK , Nov. 9. The Herald tomor- rojy will say : "Emamiet Friend , counsel for Mrs. Augusta Nack , was at the "Harlem Opera house last night. It was noticed when ho came Into the lobby ho appeared nervous and excited. His extreme nervousness caused some comment and ho remarked casually that he had just come from o long Interview with his client , 'Mrs. ' Nack. He sat half the play through and on coming out said : 'Mrs. iNack has confessed. That Is all I can say. She has confessed and will go on the stand tomorrow against Thorn. 1 can not talk about the matter any further. 1 have made a solemn promise of secrecy. There Is no use of trying to sec mo later there Is no use to see anyone else. Even Mr. 'Howo docs not know. The few others who do know are pledged to secrecy as 1 am. I shall go home , disconnect my telephone - phone and refuse to see any ono or answer any questions. Mrs. Nack has made a full confession that's all I can say. ' " The Herald will further say : "Mra. Augusta Nack l.as made a full con- ftssloa. She had until yesterday not uttered a word that would Incriminate 'her. She had withstood the efforts made iby the police to extort frcm her an admission that she had killed William Ouldensitppe , or that she had planned his death , or had lured him to Woodside , L. I. , where ( Martin Theme did the actual shooting. Mra. Nack had been submitted to the thirty-third degree by itho police to every known torture. She had been confronted by the torn masses of flesh , the promise/ life hul been held out to her as a reward for a few words that would surely result In Thorn's execution. She had remained firm during her Imprisonment at police head quarters. At all hours of the day and night she had been btsleged , but she had kept her own counsel. Now she confesses , but under what direct Influence Is net known. FULL OF DRAMATIC INTEREST. The story that Mrs. Nack has told and that she will be called on to jepeat to the jury Is full of dramatic Interest. She has de scribed at great detail her life with Gulden- suppo In the llttlo flat. She quarreled with him frequently after Thorn appeared on the scene. Guldensuppe was violent and to rid themselves of him she nnd Thorn determined to kill him. She Induced him to go to Woodside to Inspect a cottage which die had hired , as she told him , to conduct her busi ness as ai midwife. She sent him up stairs alone , and 'Whon he'h.eard sh ts , she knew Thorn had carried "out his promUo. The greatest difficulty was to obliterate the traces of murder. The only plan that appeared safe and sure was to cut the body Into fragments sicull enough to be carted away without suspicion. When the packages had been completed she and Thorn hired a surrey and drove to this city. They throw Bomo of their bundles Into the East river , but were frightened by the approach of ferry .hands and drove on until ttioy found a se cluded spot to hide the remainder. The dis covery of the body was followed In a few dayu by her arrest. TIIK TAKIM : 01 ? KVIIIKXCK. ' Iiltik Arotiml Martin Thorn for the ( iiilileiixiipiie Murder. NEW YORK , Nov. 9. The trial of Martin Thorn for the alleged murder of William Guldensuppe began in earnest this morning. Yesterday the Jury was secured and at 10 . his morning District Attorney William J. Youngs began his address. Thorn , clean shaven and well groomed , sat with unmoved countenance us the prosecuting attorney out lined his case. When he had concluded the taking of testimony began. Twenty witnesses were summoned for ex amination today and tbo district attorney took them one by one , Just as the finding of the different portions of the body opened to the public the fact that a terrible crime had been committed. Four witnesses were the boys , who , swimming In the East river , found portions ot the trunk , and then fol lowed the policemen who wore called to the scene of the finding ; and they In turn were followed by witnesses who testified to the bringing of tliat part of the body to the morgue. The discovery of the lower part of the trunk from which the legs were severed half way between the thighs and knees was then taken up and every person who handled It until It was deposited with the morgue keeper was examined and each one In turn Identified the paper , oilcloth and cheesecloth In which the part was wrapped. The rest of the afternoon was taken up by the descrip tion of these who found and Inspected the bundle found floating at the Brooklyn navy yard , and as In the two other Instances the carrying of these limbs was followed from the navy yard cob deck to the New York morgue at Bellcvuo hospital. Then the morgue keeper was put on the stand. At 4 o'clock all the witnesses who had been brought to court had given their testi mony and as there were no more available , the prosecution asked for an adjournment until tomorrow morning. The court granted this request and the trial will bo resumed at 9:30 : o'clock. It la expected that the greater part of the testimony tomorrow morning will bo that of anatomical experts to prove that the parts belonged to the saino body , and also If possible to prove the cause of death. The first witness called was John Mcflulre , who was ono of the two lads who , while bathing In East river at the foot of Eleventh street , found the upper portion of the body said to be that of Guldonsuppc. Young Mc- Gulro Identified the piece of oil cloth pro duced in court , and also a photograph of the portion of the body. These were marked for Identification. Ho was not cross-examined. James McKenna , who was McGulre's com panion , corroborated McGtilro In every detail and also Identified the all cloth and photo graph. The witness then Identified the wrappings on the bundles. His statement that the portions tions of the body fitted ono another ex actly , called out an objection from the de fense , Mr , Howe stating that It was his pur- pone to show that they were misfits , The witness then proceeded to describe certain marks on the pieces of the body , peculiari ties of the toes , scars and moles. After testimony as to tbo photographing ot the remains counsel for tbo prosecution , held a CDQiultatlou and thed informed the court THE BEE BULLETIN.

The entire state was startled and horrified this morning Oiy the imirdci of Charles Jonca , the district at torney , by Julian Gulnan , the IG-ycar-old son of a well known local i > hjslctan. The prominence of all connected with the affair , the attendant circumstances and the suddcn- aeEs of the tragedy , make It one of the most sensational happenings In the 'history of Nevada. Jones' death was caused by a bullet wound In the head , and for a time mystery surrounded every circumstance connected with the killing. At llrst It waa supposed that Jones had committed suicide , but no 'Weapon ' being found on his person nor near the scene of the shooting It became evident that his death had been caused 'by ' another , and an hour later young Gulnan surrendered him self at the sheriff's ofllce and confessed to the killing. The statement of the youth , who Is now In Jail , la to the effect that Immediately prior to the shooting ho Jiad observed his sister talking to Jones , with whom.'his ' father had forbidden assc'clatlon. He saw Dr. Gulnan approaching. Believing trouble to bo In evitable when the two men should meet the boy procured a Winchester rifle and sta tioned himself at a window for the purpose , as ho eays , of protecting his father. Upon encountering Jones , Dr. Gulnan said to him : "This Is the last time I shall ever warn you against keeping company with my daughter. " Jones Jeered at the doctor In comment upon his warning and slipped his hand into his right- hand pocket. Julian staka ithat having often heard his father threaten to kill Jones , and having been Informed that the district attorney always carried a re volver , which he bclloved from Jones' mo tion was about to be drawn , the 'boy ' fired at Jones In anticipation of an attack en his father. Jones fell forward , the bullet from the ride having entered his right eye and passed out of the neck behind. Miss Gulnan , seeing Jones fall , threw her self on him and embraced the dead body. When the coroner took charge of the re mains , JonecV hand was still In his pocket , but no weapon was found. Jones was about 33 years old , was married , and left a widow and a child tat his homo In Reno , whence ho came this morning on official business. He was necessarily In Car son a part of his time , and while hero his attentions to the girl occasioned so much talk that Dr. Gulnan bad been , aggravated Into making threats against Jones , which Indi rectly led to the murder by the doctor's son. Jones served as district attorney during one of the most stormy criminal sessions held lii the United States court In Nevada , the conviction of those concerned In the rob bery of the United Stolen mint.

Sterling Morton , vice president of the league for Nebraska , wrote : "Mr. Bryan * - | and his disciples arc actively engaged In 4 the propagation of money fallacies. They have united la ono conglomerate mass all the fanatics , bigots and Idiots In this state for the purpose of upholding the free coinage - ago of silver at a ratio ot 10 to 1. It Is very painful to observe tint this aggregation may quite possibly make a majority of 20- 000 at the coming election for candldatco who represent all that Is Inimical and dis astrous 'to ' agriculture and In fact to sound government everywhere. " Judge W. M. Reese , vice president of the league from Arkansas , wrote : "Thero la no change In this state. There la an over whelming majority for free silver nnd Bry- anlsm In every congressional district. " Charles F. Llbby , president of the league for Maine , writes in part : "S3 far as. Maine is concerned , I < lo not ithlnk the silver ques tion will be an Issue In the congressional fight next year. " EDUCATION IS NEEDED. James M. Llllls of St. Louis wrote : "I can say that on the whole I feel encouraged over the situation In Missouri. I fully rec- ognlzo the strength of ithe silver democ racy In this state Is wholly due to lack of education on that subject , and I see no means at hand whereby the people can bo suffi ciently Informed before the next election In order to materially reduce their numbers. " William C. Cornwell of Buffalo reported that as far as he could ascertain , both In the eastern and western part of the elate , the free silver sentiment was actually dying out. Louis R. Enrich of Colorado Springs re ports that nothing but better times czn bring i about a change In the free silver sentiment In. Colorado. "Tho only thing to affect the west , " he said , "la better times , and I would now suggest that the league como out boldly and ask the president of the United States to proclaim the gold btandard as the money .basis of the country. " President Lelghton thought It highly In expedient for the league to commit Itself on this point at the present time. M. E , Ingalls of Cincinnati said : "Tho re sult of the recent campaign shows conclu sively that the south will again drift bach to democracy and free silver. " Continuing , ho said : "The great danger now Is In a tendency to drift Into a now banking busi ness law , which to the country will be fraught with danger.
