most the entire day in selecting jury the trial of
Mrs. Catharine Bechtel on the charge Of being an
accessory after the fact In the murder OF her
daughter Mabel is now fairly under way. The en-
tire panel OF sixty talesmen exhausted. and the
court forced to call upon citizens among the
spectators to fill the jury box. Three witnesses
were called before court adjourned for the day
Their testimony brought out nothing that would
tend to prove the Commemorative contention.
Judge Trexler to-day discharged all Jurors not
engaged in the present case. This would Indicate
that the trials OF Mrs. Bechters daughter and two
sons the charge of completely will so over until
April. 1t Is not unlikely that in the event of Mrs
echters acquittal the charges against them will be
dropped.

TAMMANY MEN ANGRY.
The Appointment of Ex-Commissioner Hynes
the Last Straw.

Charles F. Murphy returned from Washington
yesterday at p. but he did not go to Tam
many Hail. where about fifty politicians were wait
ing to ask him several pointed questions about
Mayor McCIellan's appointments. Mr.. Murphy
made the trip from Washington with Norman E.
Mack, and after reaching his home, IN Stuyvesant
Square denied himself 10 all callers.
The Mayors latest offence in the opinion of
Tnmmany men, was committed yesterday. when he
announced the appointment of Thomas W. Hynes
Commissioner of Correction under the Low admin
istraton. TO be New-York Cty's commissioner to
the ST. Louis Exposition.
Where does Hynes come in?'
How long has Hynes belonged to the organiza-
ton?"
''Who stands for Hynes?'
These of the questions asked yester-
day at Tammany Hall. and again last night at the

open hostilities. The Czar also is reported to be
extremely DESTROYS Of preventing war. Taking
these two conflicting sets of advices into con-
sderation. the official opinion here Is that Japan
will not yield TO any such pressure.
The japanese Minister has supplied the State
Department an abstract OF the last Japanese
note Count Cassini. the Russian Ambassador.

OF the Russian note. so that the department Is
fully informed; but both these communica-

Gals do not feel they should make them public

1t is said however, that there has been no SUBJ

announced by The Associated Press in its semi
official dispatch from Picking last week
Sir Mortimer Durand, the British Ambassador
also had conference to-day with Secretary
Hay on the Far Eastern situation. Advices on
the subject received at the British Embassy are
OF gloomy nature.
Paris, JAN 14-The intention on the part Of
certain European powers to find means to pre-
vent the Russo-Japanese controversy drifting
into actual war. as intimated In these dispatches
yesterday. has begun to assume definite proper
tons, though until to-day these means were con-
fined to an exchange of views between the Cab
inets TO what course was desirable. and 1t
can be asserted positively that no tender OF
mediation or good offices has yet been made to
Japan or Russia, as II IS the accepted view that
a grave moment which would warrant repre-
sentions from the outside has not been reached.
The form of the representations will be that
known In diplomatic usage tender of good
offices. This consists mainly in giving friendly
advice for the maintenance of peace. In the
present case 1t Is likely to include rather definite
suggestions that the outside powers consider
that the main questions causing the present diff
ferences are entirely susceptible to pacific ad-
justment How far the other Cabinets OF
Europe and the United States Cabinet will give
moral or actual support 10 the friendly repre-
sensations is an open question: as the exchanges
Of views have thus far been confined mainly to
London and Paris But throughout the
changes there has bean a strong sentiment that
the united influence of Europe and the United
States should give at least moral support to the
efforts to avert conflict
