New York, July 7. Martin Thorne, the nlleged accomplice of Mrs. Nack in the murder of "William Guldensupne, whose tragic death was accomplished nearly two years ago, and whose dis membered body was found tied up in oilcloth one iiortlon in the East river mid another alone a highway In the upper part of the city, with the head yet mlsliig was arrested last night in a drug ttore at the corner of Eighth avenue and 123th street. At fhst Ills identity was in doubt, but during the morning this was removed and his identification made positive. The man then admitted he was the person want ed. Acting Inspector O'Brien afterwards tin d that he had In his possession a full confession from Thorne, admitting that he had murdered Guldensuppe, and giving all the details of the crime. The confession gives the full history of the ciime. According to this docu ment the murder was committed In the house at Woodslde, which had been rented by Mrs. Nack. WAITING FOR HIS VICTIM. A week ago last Saturday, according to the confession, Thome wont early to the Woodslde house and hid In a closet on the upper floor. In .his pocket hehad a loaded revolver and beside him was a two-pound packagtj.ot plas ter of pails. Then he waited for the arrival of Mrs. Nack and Guldensuppe. He. took oft his shoes, so that no ac cidental noise could spoil his carefully laid plan. It was between 10 and 11 o'clock In the morning when Mrs. Nack and her victim, Guldensuppe, drove up in a surrey. Thorne heard MYs. Nack ask Guldensuppe a fe,w questions about the house and heard Guldensuppe an swer. Then Mrs. Nack s,aid, according to the confession: "Willie, don't wait for me. Go through the house and se how you like it. I'll Just stny here until you come back." Guldensuppe replied he would wait. Mis. Nack, according to the confession, was anxious not to iee the nctual transaction of the trag edy she had planned. "No, don't wait," she urged, "go and Fee the rooms upstairs, I think you'll like them." Thorne, concealed behind the door of the closet, heard Gulden suppe's steps on the stairs as he com piled with the woman's request. Care lessly Guldensuppe opened door after door until he came to the closet where. Thorne stood. As the door opened Thorne shot Guldensuppe right In the head. He died almost Instantly. Then Thorne took hold of the body by the shoulders, dragged it downstairs and shoved it into the bath tub. Then Thorne went to the ground floor where Mrs. Nack was waiting. "It's done," bald Thorne. "I know," replied Mts. Nack, "I heard." "Now go back to the city," Thorne said to Mrs. Nack, "nnd come back here at 5 o'clock. Everything will be ready." MUTILATING THE UODY. All this conversation and much more Is embodied In this alleged confession. Mrs. Nack obeyed Thome's Injunction a'nd the murderer returned to the bath tub. He cut off the head with a razor and saw. Then he packed the head closely with plaster of parls until It looked like a block of whltestone. He took the legs off, and after that the lower part of the trunk. He wrapped It up In the cheese cloth, then In the oil cloth, tied the bundles neatly, lit a pipe and sat looklnrr at his handiwork. He sat there until Mrs. Nack returned In the surrey. Carrying, the bundles with him they both took 'the ferry boat ncross to New York. On the way over they threw the bundles Into the river. How one portion of the body was found in the woods is not explained In the confession. Thorne was arraigned In the Jeffer son Market Police court today and re manded until Friday, when Mrs. Nack's case comes up. When Thorne was ar raigned, 'despite the apparently damag ing evidence of the confession, he had a perfectly self-possessed appearance. Ho was neatly dressed and seemed al most the least excited of the crowd that gathered around the magistrate's desk, eatrer to see and hear all details In this latest chapter of the great mys tery. NO TRACE OP BLOOD. Acting Inspector O'Brien states there was no trace of blood in the Woodsldo house, where Guldensuppe Is supposed to have been murdered by Martin Thorne. He admits that one of his detectives, who had been a plumber before h.e was a policeman, went to the house and carried awny sections of the drain pipe from the bath tub. No trace of blood was found by him. The boys who carried the mysterious tvallBe from Mrs. Nack's houso to a man at (he corner of a nearby street were today taken before Martn Thorne to Identify him as the man who had sent them to the Nack house. They did not Identify him. A Frenchman who had rented the house In Wood slde for lluata, the agent, said he Identified Thorne as the man who had negotiated with him. This afternoon George Vockroth, a stable employe, identified Thorne as the man who had hired the surrey at the stable on Sat urday. ItEMOVING THE BODY. As the police figure It out, Gulden suppe was murdered Friday morning, June 25, at Woodslde. At 5 o'clock of the same afternoon, they think, Mrs. Nack went to Long Island In a light wagon, and she and Thorne carried the head, upper portions of the trunk and legs of the murdered man to the river and from a ferry boat threw them Into the water. On Saturday, accord ing to the police, the man and the woman went again to the Woodslde house In the surrey, loaded In the second half of the trunk and Gulden suppe's clothing, crossed the Forty second street ferry to Weehawken; drove from there to Cliffslde, which Is at the back and north of Weehawken; then crossed the One Hundred 'and Twenty-fifth street ferry and on to the point near Washington bridge, whore the lower section of the mutilated body was found. Captain Schultz, who has had ex perience In dragging waters, does not think the head will be picked up. with grappling Irons. He Is under the im pression that the head could not have been heavily coated with the plaster, and If such Is the case the plaster may have cracked. This will give a chance for the hooks to work. He be lieves the head may have been drifted about by the tides so that by this time It may be somewhere In the vicin ity of the Narrows. WARSHIPS TO TANGIERS. Sultnn of Morocco to Ho Ilcininilcd Thnt Your Undo .Samuel Is No Longer to Ho Tooled With. Washington, July 7. The San Fran cisco and the Raleigh have been sent fiom Smyrna to Tangier for the pur pose of lending support to the repre sentations. United States Consul Gen eral Rurke hns made to the sultan of Morocco, which representations so far have failed of effect. For some years past American citi zens living In Morocco have complain ed that they have beei harassed In their business operations by the re fusal of the authorities to permit them to employ and take under their protec tion the native help that they require. The ordering cf the warships to Tan gier is taken to mean that the state department feels that the only manner lu which the local authorities can be brought to a sense of their duty In the matter and due attention spcured for the consul ceneral's representation Is by a show of force. riut there is no Idea that anything more thnn a mere demonstration of naval force will be required.

TREATY VIOLATIONS THE CAUSE I It Reports n Resolution Authorizing the llxecutlvo to Take Such Mcni iircs ns Ho Illny Doom Necessary to Obtain Indemnity lor tlio Wrongs Inflicted by Spain on Two Amcrl enn Citizens. Washlngton.July 7. The senate com mittee on foreign relations today, through Scnntor Lodge, reported a resolution authorizing the president to "take such measures as he may deem necessary to obtain Indemnity from the Spanish government for the. wrongs nnd Injuries suffered by August Bolten and Gustave Richelieu, two naturalized American citizens, by reason of their wrongful arrest by Spanish authorities at Santiago de Cuba in the year 1S93." The resolution further authorizes the president "to employ such means or exercise Biich power as may be neces sary. The resolution is based upon the dis closures made in correspondence for warded to the senate by the president Inst April, In which It Is made to ap pear, according to the preamble of the resolution reported today by Senator Lodge, that "all the diplomatic efforts of the government of the United States exertid for an amicable adjustment nnd payment of a just Indemnity have proved entirely unavailing." The resolution reported today is con sidered by members of the committee an Important step and Is construed as another Intimation from the committee that force should, If necessary, be used In protecting Americans In Cuba. HISTORY OF THE CASE. Bolten Is a native or Sweden and Richelieu of France, though both are naturalized Americans. They were Hillors and had drifted to 'Port Au Prince, Haytl, from New York. Armed with passports as Americans on Feb. 5, 1S95. they set out in a small open boat belonging to Bolten to fish for green turtle. Intending to drift to Cape Hnltlen. They were driven by stress of weather to the Cuban coast. Temporary landings were effected at one or two points and finally almost destitute of food and water, and after drifting for several days, they reached Santiago de Cuba. Tho testimony dis closes that they at once produced their papers for inspection to the captain of the port, explained their distress nnd asked to be directed to thet United States consul. Notwithstanding those admitted facts they were seized by the military authorities on Feb. 23 and thrown into a pilson from which they wero not released until May following. During this Imprisonment both men were kept in close confinement much of the time, and both suffered great Injury to health. Bolten contracted yellow favor. The committee expresses the opinion that the seizure of the men Is In vio lation of article 8, of the Spanish American tieaty of 17&5, and that the military proceedings ngalnst them vio lated the protocol of 1877 in view of the fact that upon their apprehension a most rgld search failed to disclose upon them cither, arms or papers or other evidence of unlawful Intent. WHERE IS COPELAND? An Ohio School Teacher, Alter Cash ing a liig Draft in Chicago, Disap pears and the Police Wonder Where Hnls. Chicago, July 7.

The police have also learned that after drawing the money Copeland went to Washington park, and that he was followed by the negro at least part of the way, The police believe the negro followed Copeland directly Into the park for tho purpose of robbery, but lost track of him after dark and by mistake shot Nelson. Every effort is being made to find Copeland, who has not been seen since the. night of the fehootlng. . AN HISTORIC SPOT. Frenchmen Propose to Mark tho I'lncu Wlicro .llnximillliin Was Miot.

THE BILL'S HISTORY. The tariff debate began on May 25, on which day Mr. Aldrlch. in behalf of the finance committee, made the open ing statement on the bill. The actual consideration of the bill began the next day, May 26, when schedule A, relating to chemicals,' was taken up. The de bate has been continuous since then, covering six weeks and one day.

From the outset the ad vocates of tho bill refrained from set speeches and tho discussion was nar rowed to a consideration of rates and schedules rather than general princi ples. Mr. Aldrich's Illness took him from the chamber after' the first day and since then the 1)111 has been in im mediate chargo of Mr. Allison. The opposition ha"s been directed In the main by Mr. Jones, Arkansas, and Mr. Vest, Missouri, while Senators White, Caffrey, Gray and iMlen hnvo frequently figured in the debate. Tho bill as It goes back to tho house re-enacts the anti-trust sections of the Wil son net, while the reciprocity and re taliatory provisions are substitutes for those of the senate. One of the most Important new provisions ndded by the senate Is that placing a stamp tax on bonds, debentures nnd certificates of stock. Aside from these more Import ant changes, the bill as It goes back to the house hns 874 amendments of vari ous degrees of importance which must be reconciled between the two brunches of congress.
