 discussion by saying the Lyon letters were not before the commission. "Dr. Diefendorf said the suggestions made by Thaw indicated delussonal state of mind.
 Did you think he had delusions when be committed the homicide?' asked Chairman Mcclure
 "Aes." replied the witness, who then went into an elaborate explanation of the difference between the medical and le- gal insanity. declaring that Thaw was medically but not legally insane when nc shot and killed Stanford White. Under questioning by Mir. Hartridge, Dr. Diefendorf said that Thaws sugges- tions to Mir. Delmas showed delusions similar to those indicated in the letters which formed a part of the district at torney's hypothetical question at the trial.
 ''On similar writings, then, you reach the conclusion that at one time he was sane, and at anotner time insane?" asked MT. Hartridge.
 Dr. Diefendorf said he would stand on his answers. He admitted he had never personally examinel Thaw, but thought him to be suffering from paranoia. Chairman Mcclure cross-examined the witness for twenty minutes or more in semi-secret fashion. Suddenly District Attorney Jerome broke the quiet by say ing in loud voice:

THE PANAMA BONDS
 BROUGHT GOOD PRICES
There Were 5000 Bids Subscribing for The Issue Many Times Over.

Washington. Dec. l. - The opening of bids for the issue of 50.OO0. 900 Pan ana canal bonds which was begun at 4:30 Saturday afternoon, was not con- cluded until 10 o'clock at night when Secretary Cortelyou made the follow ing announcement:
 The bids for the Panama bonds in vited by the secretary's circular. were opened this evening. There were more than 5000 bids and the loan many times over subscribed. No complete tabula- ton has been possible but it may be stated that the average price is well above the present market price for bonds. Owing to the large number of bids it will be impracticable to make an allotment immediately but the sec retary will be prepared 10 give further information on Monday.
 Asked what was meant by present market price for bonds" the secretary asked to be excused from being more explicit but others familiar with the present price of the other Panama bonds issue interpret the words to mean that the successful price of the present issue will be considerably in excess of sl.02; possibly about .1.03. Among the bidders were the National City Bank of New York, which submitted a num-

CONDITION
 OF ARIZONA
The Annual Report of 6Ov- ernor kibbey Made Public
A Review of the Prosperity of the Territory tor a Year.

Washington. Dec. 1.-The annual re- port of Governor Kibbey of Arizona to the secretary of the interior was made public today. The year covered by the report, the governor says, is the most prosperous the territory has ever known. There has been greater ac- tivity in all the leading branches of in dustry, mining. stock raising and farming. There has been a great ad- vance in farm lands, particularly in the Salt River valley. where the ad- vance in many instances has exceeded 100 per cent within year
 The estimated population of the ter ritory is 1S5,0O0 of which 26.O0O are Indians. The immigration has been chiefly from Mexico. attracted by the high wages of mines. The same att ! traction has brought in great many Slavonians. Austrians and Italians,
 The financial condition of the ter | ritory is excellent. The debt. s3.123.- 275.29. is the same as that of the pre- | ! issued. The cash balance in the treas ury in June was more than $500, 900. the high record, but a considerable part of that as well as of the receipts to come in will be absorbed by fixed expenditures and by the appropriations provided for by the last legislature. However. larger surplus than ordi- nary will be carried over to the coming year.
 | The report abOunds in statistics con corning the public institutions. The territorial banks are shown to be in remarkably good condition No fail ures were reported during the year. The resources of the banks were in creased from s17.S5s.346.7O to s22. .4O1.- 9s06s, and the deposits from sf3.955.- 46I.19 to s1s,4s1,5125s
 The report described at length the new mine taxing law of the territory by which the valuation of the mines for taxable purposes has been brought up to nearly s2I.OOe.0 .00O. an increase of nearly s7,0O0.O00 over the preceding year.
 On the subject of statehood with which the report concludes. after de- ! which the joint statehood proposition was defeated by vote of 16.2s2 to 3.141. the governor says: Nearly a year has passed since that election and I deem it my duty to report the fact that public sentiment is even stronger in Arizona against joint statehood with New Mexico than it was last year"
 Of the closing of gambling Governor
 kibbey says: This made April 1 q historic date in the territory. for unti then gambling had been conducted ev- anywhere in wide open manner. tho doors of the gambling houses being open every day and night of the year The abolition of gambling was in re sponse to a pronounced public senti ment. I regard 1t as a fact, most cred itable to our people that not only wal the new law instantly obeyed by tho gamblers but there has been no at tempt anywhere to evade the law

CURRENCY LEGISLATION.
Chairman Fowler's Criticism of the
 Present Relief Plan.

New York, Dec. 1.-Chairman Fow- Ter Of the house committee on bank ing and currency today said: Ger tainly there should >be remedial leg islation. The committee will devote it's energies to that end but l cannot predict the result. but the need for help is urgent. A year ago I predicted that which has happened. Now I de- clare that if the government continues the policy of injecting into the arteries 6f commerce bond-secured currency by exchanging securities by executive or der or any other form of thimble rig sing. We shall continue to move with greatly accelerated speed toward a commercial crisis compared with which the present panic is a pleasant summer outing"

Washington. Dec. 1.-Never on the eve of a session of congress have the leaders been more at sea concerning proposed legislation than they are to- night. Little beyond financial legis- iation is engaging the attention of the members of kither house and all con fess their inability to forecast what will be done. It is evident that very little attention twill be given to other matters until there is some concentra- ton of opinion on this subject.
 But for the financial disturbance it is probable that some amendments to the railroad rate law would have been undertaken. and that is still possible. but all plans are nebulous. The dem ocrats have already indicated a pur- pose of trying to force the tariff to the front but the republican majority of both houses are well united in the purpose of postpOning action until af- ter the election. There will be some antitrust talk but the panic will have the effect Of curtailing it to some ex- tent.
 Serious attention will be given to the proposal to tax sales on stock ex- changes. number of senators and house members being in a frame of mind to make the road as rocky as possible for speculators.
 A Philippines tariff bill and meas ures for the admission of New Mex ico and Arizona will be introduced early and it is probable that all will receive attention but it is not so prob able that any will become laws at this session. The friends of the Missis- sippi waterway will undertake to in- augurate a scheme for a deeper chan mel. IL is understood that the presi- dent will recommend the enlargement of the navy and the prospect is good for some increase.

 It was understood that Erler and the woman had known each other in Switzerland. though that is probably an error, for an incident occurred which indicates that he did not know her name at the time he applied for the license d short time before noon on Saturday.
 He called for the license. and Clerk Kirkland. following his custom. asked the applicant to write the name and ages of the parties. He wrote the brides name 'Freda Dalida. 26.' The license was issued to him. and it was arranged that the marriage should be performed by the probate judge at three o'clock in the afternoon Half an hour before that time he returned with the license and had the name of the bride changed to ''DaIitZ" and the age to %.

for fire engine house. to be located in the
vicinity OF North Capitol street and Rhode

engine house. and for several years they
have requested the Commissioners to make
provision for them in their estimates, but
each year they were doomed to disaappoint-
ment. The North Capitol and lexington
Citizens Association repeated this request
several days ago, and the Commissioners
annouced today that they will make an
effort to secure the engine house.
