NEW YORK, June 30.-Every turn of
backward track which detectives are
following in order to clear up minute
circumstances bearing upon the killing
of Stanford White by Harry X. Thaw
brings to light some unthought of de-
velopment.
Thaw's attorneys have emeployed de-
tectives to find man supposed to he
Whites private secretary. This man
was manager of Whites orgies.~ He
hired studios in whieh White enter
tanned, employed discreet walters and
saw that walters were sent away from
studios at a certain stage of the
performance before the disrobing be-
gan.
Among witnesses who have been ex-
amined at the district attorneys Of
flee are several little girls who are said
to have attended Whites entertain
ments. The same girls have told their
stories to Thaw's counsel
The Disrobing Act
one of the incidents developed in the
district attorneys office and corrob-
grated by Attorney Olcott's inquiries
gives an idea of things done at Whites
parties. One aged roue used to place
ten and twenty dollar gold pieces In
cracked ice in his glass and await an
opportunity of slipping them down the
backs of girls who were guests.
See 'em wrggle! See 'em wriggle!"
he would calculate between spasms of
laughter that almost threw him into

screams as the icy metal touched their
flesh was supposed to be almost as good
fun as a sightof the victims afforded

Goremykin's Attempts to

Recurring Dlsaffection Among Troops
Convinces Emperor Of Folly Of

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, June 3O-The
downfall of the Goremykin ministry,
whose attempts to bridge the chasm
between the government and parlia-
ment have resulted only in widening
the breach, is now virtually an accom-
plished fact, if the statement of a
grand duke can be accepted.
According to this parsonage, the final
desperate effort of the faction, headed
by Minister of Agriculture Stichinsky.
who wishes to dispense parliament and
again resort to repression, has failed.
The recurring disaffection among the
troops probably convinced his majesty
of the folly of trying further to temper
the feeling of the country.
At any rate, according to the grand
duke, the decision has been taken to
bow to parliament, dismiss the minis
try and to make no attempt to impose
a forced recess.

What Surrender Means

A frank surrender of power into the
hands of the constitutional democrats,
which would mean nothing less than
the Inauguration of a thorough consti-
tutional monarchy, would find the lead
ers of that party ready to undertake
the fight against the rising tide of rev.
olution, but it is too much to expect
the emperor and the court to make
such abject capitulation.
In spite of denials, negotiations be-
tween conservative constitutional dem
ocratic leaders and Emperor Nicholas
have been secretly in progress for sew
eral days.
But there is no reason to believe that
they have eventuated anything definite
toward superseding the GoremyRiu
cabinet with a mixed ministry of con-
stitutional Democrats and Octoberists
elected from the council of the empire
with Finance Minister Kokovsoff as
premier.
Such a cabinet, if it could be formed,
might temporarily tide over the pres
ent crisis, but the diverging elements
will be probably incapable Of working
in harmony, and thus it would only
postpone and not solve the great issue.
The difficulty of forming a new cab
met is likely to delay the announce
ment of Premier Goremykin's retire.
ment several days Neither the press
nor the public is aware of the decision
at Peterhof.

OUR DUTY TO MOROCCO.

Antl-administration agitators seem
TO have regular paroxysms OF fear for
the outcome OF the Morocco conference.
as far as this country Is interested.
They condemn our participation In the
deliberations and predict disaster TO
this country as a result. But, In order
to make case they are under the
necessity OF misrepresenting the facts,
and that proves the utter weakness Of
their position. Their argument runs:
I'VE are sending, and the admlnis-
tratlon defends the expediency and wis
dom OF sending. representatives TO Eu-
ropean conferences IN which European
politics are the main staple OF delibera-
ton, 10 protect our commercial inter-
ests and prevent our friends from go
ing to war. Yet no European or ASH
attic power Is permitted by the United
States TO exercise the same privilege In
the International concerns OF this hemi-
sphere. There Is 10 be a pan-Ameri-
can conference In Rio Janerio next
summer. WIN Germany, or France, or
England be represented there? The
mere question Is calculated to raise a
laugh"
The reply to this is obvious In the
first place, II Is not true that We are
sending representatives 10 n conference
on European affairs. 1t is not true
that the Moroccan question is Euro
pean concern. mainly. Africa is not
fenced round with a Monroe doctrine"
and we have as much interest in that
country as some OF the European ma
tions. It is as proper for this coun-
try to be represented at a general
congress on an African country as il
is for us to take part in a conference
on Chinese affairs. To represent the
Moroccan question as chiefly o Euro
pean concern, is to misrepresent the
matter, In order TO obtain a point of
vantage from which to attack the gov
eminent. But that is both unfair and
disloyal.
In the second place,to compare a con-
gress on Morocco to a pan-American
congress is absurd. II the American
republics, through their representatives.,
meet IN order to discuss trade and other
matters pertaining to their interests ex-
cluslyely, neither European, nor Asi-
attic countries can expect representa-
ton IN such conventions. This country
does not NEEDLE in European alliances,
Zollverelns, or other exclusively Euro
pean concerns. on questions IN which
the entire civilized world is Interested,
Il Is different Uncle Sans opinion is
eagerly sought for on all such matters.
and It Is certainly the duty OF our
government to speak for justice, for
liberty, and for peace. wherever Its In
nuence can be exerted in favor Of these
principles.

 Hummer-More About the Grapplers.

The management of the Simonsyilie Athletic club will have an important announcement to make on Thursday evening when the big wrestling tour nament is given down there. 1t will be something that will please all the sports in the city and in the surround ing towns. Everything in connection with this announcement was closed last evening and the Simonsville Ath- letic club rooms will hereafter be a very busy gymnasium. Word came from Derby this morning that Frank Speh and his friends will be in Wa terbury Thursday with all the cash necessary to bet that Dan Pickett would not get even one fall out of the Derbyite. That cash will be just as promptly covered for there are those who are close to Pickett and who have seen him work out lately who will wager that he will get two falls. Speh is risking everything on this match. If he loses he will be relegated to the has beens. Pickett is coming every day and he is one of the sturdiest chaps that ever stepped onto the wrestling mat. He Is an aggressive graEpler too and he will keep Speh hustling from the first call of time until the finish. This will be a match with all good feelings thrown aside.
