Common sense and humanity require the
extraordinary circumstances Of the battle
Of the Sea ofJspan to be taken into con-
siderstion for the modification Of their

not possibly have won that battle that
while they might possibly have
inflicted more Losses upon the
japanese, such Losses could not
have been sufficient to alter or to de-
lay the outcome Of the war, aud that,
therefore, further resistance would have
meant nothing but ffuitless sacrifice Of

may be condemned for not makins that
sacrifice. In the name of humanity they

The Thaw Trial.

New York, Feb 9.-When the trial
Of Harry X. Thaw is resumed on Mon
day, his counsel, Dolphin Delmsa, will
seek TO place in evidence the will of the
Piusburger with the view OF proving by
its strange and fantastic provisions that
when the will was drawn up, on the
night of Tbaw's marriage to J. Ign
n shit, on April 4, 1905, be was not
mentally responsible because Of Stautord
Whites pur-ui. OF EVELYN.

ASSASSIN, Harry Tnsw, IN his will, d.
rected that fund of $50, 600 be set aside
for the prosecution OF his murderer
shoult 1t be established that he did not
die from natural causes ToIs provision
of the will mentions no name, but the
cndicil makes it evident that he feared
Stanford White.
This remarkable document provides
that fund OF $4,000 be- set aside oy
the trustees of his estate TO care for
chorus girls and others who had been
su' lected 10 the same treaI ment at The
ha.ds Of Stanford White as Evelyn Ms
BIZ. Harry Thaw mentions the nam's
of several girls in the codicll of the Will,
who he believed had been wronged by
the architect.
To his wife, Harry Thaw left the en-
tire SUN of his income which was 10 re-
yer. to. the Thaw estate in the event of
her death.
Ar antorishing feature of the will IS
tina. T ,aw mades Mrs. Charles j. Hol-
map, mother OF Evelyn Nesbit, a bene-
&c ary, though rhsw's letter to his uD-
sci, Just before the marriage, indicated
his Intense dislike of Mrs Holman.

provisions will bear out every plea OF tie

the will will be properly identified and
placed in evidence on Monday.
Eg. lyn Nesbit Tnaw will DC on the
witness slatd the greater part Of nex'
week. Her direct testimony will hardly
be concluded before Monday night and
District Attorney Jerome Will take al

Harry K. Tnaw will iurn'eh the Gu
minating sensation 10 his own trial b!
taxing the witness stand and delivering
the final blow 10 bis own defense TOR the
Staying Of Architect Stanford White.
An error Of Law has crept into the
trial Of Harry Thaw that,in the event OF
his conviction will insure him another
trial for the killing of Stanford Waite.
II Is said the opinion is expressed by
three justices Of the Supreme Court, now
sitting here. The names of The justices are
withheld for obvious reasons. This Opin-
ION is based upon the action of Evelyn
10 the leaning forward in the witness
chair and whispering TO the prosecutor
the names OF men and women whom she
knew 10 company with White.

The fact that the work of construct

proposed Memorial Bridge has been
delayed was through no fault OF
his. as ho concentrated all his power
and influence toward the achievement of
these designs. la fact, he laid foun
dalton which others may yet utilize to
the end for which he so earnestly aimed.
With the shadows OF death ever and
anon crossing his path, he uncomplaln-
inoly listened to all who invoked his aid.
and the many who sought his help and
advice felt they had friend whose sym

brief hut spirited interchange between
Mr.. Warren, chsirman OF the committee
90 military affairs aud Mr.. BGrkett.
L was over the provision in the army
appropriation bill relating to the ex-
change of small arms. The Nebrasksn
thou hit it gave too great discretion to
the War Department. He wanted TO
know how many reserve guns the gov
eminent now had. Mr. Warren replied
that il wat not within the drty of a
senator to count the guns. He further
explained rather warmly that it would
not be fitting tor him, because OF his
position, "to tell here where all the
world can hear, how many guns and
balls aud how much powder the govern
ment holds in reserve"
Mr.. Burkett was on his feet in an 10
slant. He charged the senator IRON
Wyoming with attempting to lecture
him and declared that be was response
BILE to himself alone for the questions be
asked, 50 long as he confined himself
within the rules Of the Senate.

ton directing the Secretary of Commerce
