Eo-WoMAN AGAIN MAR.
RlES.

sANDUsKY, o, Jan. ga strange
matrimonial tangle came to light when
Mrs. Absolam Enders, Of whitmore,
before a Justice Of the peace, made
vigorous protest against a law that
would permit her sons wife to re.
marry without the formality of a df.
vorce.
The story, properly vouched for, is
that Nellie Enders, aged 10. brought
suit for divorce at Norwalk against
August Enders. The court granted
temporary alimony and the husband
fed to Germany, after filing cross
petition.
The court dismissed both the pati.
ton and the cross petition. The wife
thought this ended the case, and that
she was free. She assumed her maid.
en- name. Nellie Eliza Hanyiile. and a
few weeks ago became the wife of
Jack Alphonse Northart. OF pittsburr.

&
NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Mrs. william
Thaw, whose illness prevented her at
tendance at court yesterday. was again
present, accompanied by Mrs. George
l.. Carnegie. her daughter, and two
sons, Edward and Joshua Thaw. The
mother did not appear to notice the
ckildlike figure OF the sons wife. Eve.
lyn looked searchingly at the motherly
woman in seeming mute appeal for
some slight greeting, but there was
none. Mrs. Carnegie was quite oblivi.
Gus to the presence of her sister-in-
law. The Countess of Yarmouth did
not appear, this morning. Evelyn Nes-
bit Thaw, with her chorus girl friend,
May Mackenzie, was early in her seat.
She presented a pathetic figure, bro
ken and crushed under the weight Of
apprehension. Following the inter
minable roll call of the talesmen an
elderly prisoner. William Younger, In
d!cted for perjury. was arraigned to
plead, thus causing delay in the pro
gress of the Thaw trial. The old man
1 laaded not guilty and Thaw watched
the proceedings with interest "Har.
ry X. Thaw to the bar" cried the clerk
and the prisoner with smart stride
marched quickly to. his seat. He show.
ed evident delight at seeing his moth
er, stopped to reach over and take
her outstretched hands and gave her
wcrd o: l.b,6ly greeting. Harry did
ict seem to zee mis- wife a.; sbe fondly
smiled at him aud turned away, the
eses of her fragile figure following his
every move. AS he took his seat he
spoke to the lawyers.
AT, twelve fifty-three o'clock, Howard
R. Thaye, a printer, was sworn in as
the sixth Juror. Every indication late
this afternoon was that possibly an.
other special panel of talesmen will
have to be called before the Jury can
be selected to try. Thaw. The grind
of sitting the present panel continued
until long after the noon hour, before
there was a break in the monotony.
The frigidity between Evelyn Thaw
and her husbands people was more
marked to-day than ever before. 1t is
possible there is nothing back Of the
lack of .cordiality between the young
wife and the Thaws, but the general
opinion is to the contrary. Thaw
seems improving in spirits and in a
measure is cheerful.

.SWETTENHAM
INCIDENT WAS
UNPLEASANT
Great Britain
Acted Admirably

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Great
Britain has been informed by this gov.
ernment that the United States will
pay no heed to the unpleasant Incl.
dent between Gov. Swettenham, of ia
maica, and Rear Admiral Davis, com.
manding the ships of the navy which
were rushed to the relief of Kingston
In effect, the President, through Acting
Secretary of State Bacon, in letter
to Esme Howard, the British charge
daffaires, tells Great Britain not TO
worry over the affair and that the Uni
ted States is in no wise offended.
This is the formal expression of the
attitude of the government-to ignore
the episode as the action of an indi
vidual. Even though this country
takes such a gracious position, how.
ever. 1t is not likely that the British
government will allow the matter to
drop, and the punishment of Gov.
Swettenham for his ill:worded com
munication of last Saturday to Ad
miral Davis will doubtless follow. The
letter to Mr.. Howard from Mr.. Bacon,
which was made public by the State
Department, is in response to one
handed to Mr.. Bason by Mr.. Howard
Monday night.
British Minister'S Regrets.
In that communication Mr.. Howard
carried out instructions from Sir Ed.
ward Grey, to say to the State Depart.
ment that the matter was under inyes-
tigation. but that Notwithstanding the
lack OF oficiaf news on the subject
the foreign Office in London desired
to express its sincere regrets. Mr..
Bacon's response says: H.
81 have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your note of yesterdays
date, by which you communicate the
substance Of the instructions received
by you from Sir Edward Grey in ref.
erence to the Jamaica incident.
81 hasten to assure you, on behalf
of the President, that this govern
ment will pay no heed whatever to the
matter, and very much appreciates the
frank and ready courtesy and consld.
GRAFTON shown In this dispatch by Sir
Edward Grey.
II can only repeat to you; in this
more formal way, what I saiu TO you
personally last evening, assuring yon
of the Presidents sincere appreGfa.
ton of the cordial spirit shown By
your government. It is especially graf.
flying to the President to feel that 1t
has been possible for this country to
show In any practical way, however
small, its friendship to community
of your people. in time of such suf-
fering and need"
Attitude Most Admirable.
Great Britain's attitude in the mat.
ter is considered most admirable. II
is declared here that the message of
regret from Sir Edward Grey to this
government, through the embassy,
could scarcely have said more. 1t is
all the more remarkable because It's
very text showed that the British gov.
ernment had no advices of its own
on the subject. Had the offense been
twice as serious and known officially
in every detail in London. the ex-
preston of regret could hardly have
been more satisfactory.

PIrrsBuRG. May I2.-It ia pretty nearly

alone turned back last week inquiry for
40 600 tons OF second half pig iron after having
done the same thing last week-only then for
As, 900 tons. The reason given the anxious
.inouirers was that the utmost capacity Of

up and there was no use trying 10 sell iron

Certain large interests insist that the pig

reach further outlandish figures. There can
be found but few now who will say iron will

ton before long.
There was another small boost in rates
during the week when spot bessemer brought

price were light, but they would rave been

WEIGHTS |" MAILED FIST" AT TOXIC.

It has not been more than two weeks since Japan was afame with indignation directed against the van kee dogs" Following the breaking of some crockery and one or two skulls in a restaurant in San Francisco and the tossing of two small pebbles through the glass flower house of a I Jep, an informal demand was made on the Washington government by the Japanese ambassador for both rep aration and apology, which, it is not necessary to say, was denied. The streets of Tokio rang with the ban zais of the jingoes and the atmo- sphere was literally surcharged with danger
 Then came the announcement of the cruise of the greatest armada massed in modern times, a cruise that would take it from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the greatest danger point. Observe, then, the about face of the jingoes. Yamamoto assures us that his country has no doubt of our good faith and literally messages in the sweetened smudge. Similar eX- press: :ons come from high sources in Japan. With those expressions the war clouds, hanging Ominously low for time. disappeared, and the sun again shone down peacebly upon the two nations.
 It would make interesting reading if it were permissible to give to the world the diplomatic representations that have taken place between Wash ington and TokIo. We would like to know what Roosevelt said to Aoki at Washington and what Ambassador Wright said to the statesmen at To kio. What the latter said must have been pointed, if not laconic, for it is announced that he has made himself persona non grata at the Japanese capital. Wright has been recalled be- cause he has shown a mailed fist" instead of the velvet covered one of diplomacy. But what for, and to whom? He is an old soldier, who shakes not a fist at empty air The dispatches admit that the generals mailed fist" is raised in defense of the Americans in Japan, and he has made himself persona non grata. His recall may be demanded in the in terest of continued peace, but it is not more imperatively demanded than are our ships in the Pacific, forti- fication of our ports and dependencies and the speediest possible completion of the canal at Panama.

ditions to launch opposing dicta, both founded in error, and both, manifest ly, bids for notoriety thereby need lessly magnifying existing preju. dices and raising Cain" generally If Mover ct al. were kidnapped the law will so determine; if Idaho jurists are corrupt, it will be so shown, and law abiding men are content to await developments.
 Dr. Osler suffers from the notoriety he did not invite; these men invite a notoriety they do not only not de- serve but which, given them, forti- f1es the cry of European critics that public opinion in the United States is largely a matter of egotism and hot air
 That We have appellate courts for unfair trials, and impeachment for unjust jurists, are facts ignored by these self-seekers.
 So common have similar breaks" been of recent years among college men and preachers that laymen laden with solicitude for the general wei fare are fighting shy of academic statesmanship and are turning to the more reliable brand of the shirt sleeve order.
