The Thaw Case.

New York, April with one Of
the twin dangers he faced apparently
removed, through the decision OF the
lunacy commission yesterday declaring
him sane, Harry Thaw was happy today.
He has feared Matieawan even more
than the death chair. With its ellmi-
nation from his future, Thaw Is willing
to face the jury for his life.
There was only one cloud on the horl-
zon today for Thaw, the possibility that
jerome may further delay the care BY
an application to the Appellate Division
OF the Supreme Court for writ Of error
In the lunacy proceedings. II the Dis
trict Attorney takes this step, 1t may be
several weeks before decision Il finally
rendered. Thaw's case IN the meantime
would be held up. ~
Theutmost Jerome can secure, through
any outside proceedings he can institute,
/, was pointed out today, would be to have
another lunacy commission appointed.
In view oithe unanimous finding In
favor of ThRw by the last commission, 1t Ia
cot likely the judge will care for further
Conformation" from another commission.
II jerome does not apply to the higher
court there Is ljttls doubt Justice Fitz-
gerald will approve the commissions
report and order the trial to proceed. Ia
this event, with the participation Je'
rome has placed on himseifby discussing
Thsw's sanity. the young milllonsire's
attorneys sle hopeful Of sn scquittal.
On Monday the jury that has been
hearing the Thaw evidence Hill DO 10

Early Dissolution Predicted.

st. Petersburg, April 6.--The early
dissolution of the Douma Is today pre-
dlcted by persons high In authority fol-
lowing the discussion of the budget
which Is NOW being considered BY the
parliament
The situation 1t Is pointed out, has
resolved itself Into this:
If the budget is sanctioned by the
Doums, the lsw-making body becomes
useless as the government, its financial
needs being supplied, can get along with
ont it. II the budget is rejected, the
Douma will be unable to work at all.
While the members might remain in
session they could accomplish nothing.
In view Of the peculiar situation that
has developed many we'll informed peo-
pie are coming to the conclusion that
dissolution is the only thing possible.
The troops again completely dominate
this city In preparation for any develop
meuts 10 the session OF the doums,
which may arouse the populsce. The
Government does not propose to be
caught unprepsred if popular outbreak
should occur.
Following yesterdays bolt from the
Douma by resctlonary deputies and
their declaration that the reading By
Deputy AleKinsky of a newspaper sr'
tice accusing the Russian Government
Of bad faith In dissolving the first par
lament was treason, 1t vas feared there
might be further disturbances today In
tbs Donna chamber,
The budget debate offers constant OPP
portunity for violent disputes. Cos
sacks aud Dragons are stationed in the
factory districts and all the horse guards
in the city and three regiments Of infan'
try are being held in readiness 10 the
event of any demonstration.
