Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence
Washington, Feb. 6.-War with ia
pan would not be the holiday frolie
the war with Spain was nine years
ago. War with Japan would be real
war, and the administration knows II,
as evinced by its earnest endeavor to
avoid any appearance of inviting a
clash.
1t is believed here that the financial
question will not cause much en-
barrassment to the japanese. 1t is
almost cheaper for them to be at war
than to dwell in peace. Right now
they are equipped perfectly on a war
footing. 1t would cost them nothing
at this time to take the Philippines
except few lives-and they are not
sparing of lives when the lives are
lost in action.
They could hold the Philippines at
their ease. 1t would then be ten
times cheaper for the United States
to give up the Philippines than to re-
take them. Japan, unless wiped off
the seas, could hold the islands in
definitely, it is declared by some ex-
perts.
The positions of the United States
now and in the war with Spain are al
most reversed. Then the United States
had not, as Spain did. remote colonial
possessions and consequent divided
forces exposed to attack and capture.
Now it has, and its opponent has not,

JONES. HE MUST PAY
ALL FREIGHT CHARGES

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Tho Record
Herald today says:
BY action taken yesterday the rail-
roads of the country have paved the
way to drag back to their Golfers the
millions they recently handed to en-
ployes in the way of increased wages.
The shipper is to pay, If the vote now
being taken affirms the proposition
to increase the minimum load In
freight cars. 1t is difficult to esti-
mate how much this will increase the
revenue of railroads, but If the
minimum is increased 10 per cent II
is estimated that it will mean over
$100,0O0,000 annually. Traffic men
declare that while the size of freight
cars has been increased two and even
threefold, there has been little in
crease in the minimum load. They
claim the increase will not hurt the
shipper, while 1t will add materially
to the capacity of the railroads. The
roads interested In this move include
those east of this city and north Of
the Ohio river. If the moye is sue
cessful 1t will be extended to all the
railroads of the United States.

DelmaS Demanded Charge OF
Case on Pain of His
Withdrawal.
SEVERAL IMPORTANT
WITNESSES INTRODUCED
JUDGE OverruleS Jerome'S ObieC-
tiOnS--DramatiC Scene In Court
on Delmds' Demand.

New York, Feb. 6.-Interest in the
opening of the Thaw case centered in
maneuvers of the counsel for the de-
fense, who was dissatisfied at the
manner in which Gleason conducted
the case yesterday. AS soon as the
case was opened Delmas had assumed
charge. 1t was said that Delmas de-
livered an ultimatum that he would
withdraw from the case unless given
a free hand to conduct the case in the
fight for Thaw's life.
Benjamin Bowman, doorkeeper at
the Garden theater, was the first wit
ness. Few nights after Christmas,
he said, Stanford White came up to
me after the show and wanted to
know If Miss Nesbit had gone home.
1 told him she had. He replied:
You are a - liar 1 told him to
go back upon the stage and see for
himself. When he returned, as he
passed me he pulled a pistol from
his pocket and muttered 'I'll kill that
- before daylight -. The
witness said he communicated the
threat to Thaw.
Witness Cross-Examned.
On cross-examination Bowman
said the incident occurred on Christ
mas eve, 1903. He said further he
told White Miss Nesbit had gone
home with Thaw White did not
mention Thaw by name when he
made the threat of killing.
Witness Withdrawn.
William C. Howard, a piano dealer,
succeeded Bowman upon the stand.
He testified he did not know White,
but that a man had been pointed out
to him as White. Objection was
made to his stating his conversation
with this man as being no identifica-
ton of White. Delmas thereupon
withdrew the witness until some fu-
ture time.
Another Introduced.
Martin Green, a newspaper man.
was the next witness. He was 6
witness of the shooting of White by
Thaw. He said Thaw was very pale
at the time, his eyes seemed about
to pop from his head and his hair
was hanging down upon his fore
head. To the question, I'm your
opinion, was his action rational oil
irrational?" Jerome objected on the
ground that the witness was not g
competent expert. Delmas quoted
authorities supporting his question
but the district attorney contendet
the decision had been superseded by
q later opinion. Thereupon the cour
ordered a recess until 2 o'clock, dur
ing which time the attorneys We're tC
consult authorities.
Delmas Pins jerome Down.
At the afternoon session Justice
Fitzgerald overruled Jerome's objec-
ton and Green was directed to an
swer. He said that Thaw's actions
were irrational. on cross eXamina-
tion Green stated he had had no ex-
perience with insane persons and he
judged entirely from Thaw's conduct
Thomas McCaleb, who accompanied
Thaw to dinner the evening of the
tragedy, testified that he saw Mrs
Thaw pass her husband a note at the
table at a cafe. There was a dramatic
scene when Delmas called upon Jer-
ONE to produce the note. Jerome
sat silent and would not reply.
