RECEIVED WITH SURPRISE.
Report That the Privy Council is
 Considering a Dispatch.

Tokio, Feb "A report from the
 United States that the privy council had met Tuesday to consider a dis patch from Washington, is received with great surprise and some indig- nation here. The Associated Press is in a position to state that the sub- ject of deliberation was the amended imperial house law. the result of years of hard work by special com mission under the presidency of Marquis Ito and vice-presidency of Baron Miyoji, assisted by several prominent jur!sts.
 Should American relations assume a gravity warranting . special meet ing of the privy council the fact would not escape. the attention of press correspondents. As has been previously cabled. quiet reigns de- spite alarmist reports in America. The idea that Japan would seek a war with the United States is con- sidered ridiculous.
 There is no doubt that among the immigrants to Hawaii there are sev- eral who served in the Russian war, but the report of an elaborate organ ization prepared to act in an emer- gency is criticised as simply a demon- stration of sheer ignorance.
 The Hochi Shimbun, which has been the most outspoken of the Jap- anese papers in expressing indigna- tion at the action of the San Fran cisco authorities, regrets the misrep- resentation of facts transmitted to America regarding the meeting of the privy council. It ridicules the careless publishing of such news without such full inquiry as the na- ture of the subject deserves, especi- ally now when Japan is open to mis- representation by alarmists abroad.
 The general feeling her among the well informed, while naturally indig- nant over the San Francisco occur renee, Is little concerned about 1t in particular. It is believed here that the general attitude of the American government at this moment must be one of strict guardedness, lest 1t play into the hands of those who are evi- dently working to utilize the San Francisco affair to alienate both na- tions.
 Japan remembers gratefully its obligations toward the United States. but 1t would be a mistake to think that doctrine exists forbidding an- tagonism against her benefactor un- der any circumstances.

Dorics Washed Ashore,

Providence. Mass. Feb Five fishing dories and the cabin skylight of a schooner were washed ashore near the Race Point life saving sta- ton during last night One of them was numbered 12.

Harbor Filled With Ice.

New York, Feb For the first tim this winter the harbor was com pletely filled with floating fee to- day. As seen from the Narrows the ice covered both the upper and lower bay as far as the eye could see. On board the steamer Seneca which ar- rived from Manila by the way of Boston, the Chinese crew were clad in thin cotton clothing and some in bare feet were breaking up the ice about the decks.

MT Beaie and MT Thaw were follow.

MT Beale and MT Thaw were follow ing us.'
 How far had you gone when something unusual attracted your at- tention ..'
 We had almost reached the ele- vator when I turned around to say something to MT Thaw and he was not there"
 Whom did you see when you turned aroun0t''
 T saw Stanford White.''
 Mrs Thaw pronounced the name distinctly and with shade of em- phasis in her voice.
 Where was he?''
 He was seated at table,"
 How far were you from him?''
 About as far as from here to the end of the jury box. 2
 Mrs Thaw indicated the distance, about twenty-five or thirty feet.
 When you saw Stanford White there, did you see MT Thaw at the same timer"
 No. l did not see MT Thaw until moment or two later. He was standing directly in front of MT White about fifteen fee. away.
 Mrs Thaw said she met Stanford White at a luncheon in 1901. She thought him ''very big aud ugly" The party to which she was taken was ''in dingy Twenty-fourth street house,
 The luncheon was in private apartment sumptuously fitted up.
 T was told in advance was going to luncheon with some society peo- pie and had hoped 1t was the Wal dorf. as wanted to see that hotel"
 Mrs Thaw said that White sent her mother to Pittsburg and then took her to one of his studios, where she dined alone with him. She then told of an experience with White in mirrored chamber, where her ruin was accomplished, despite her screams and calls for help She sat up all that night after she got home. Mrs Thaw broke down several times and cried and could hardly proceed as she related her experiences with White. Thaw sat with his head rest ing in a handkerchief in his hands. Mrs Thaw said that when she told Mir Thaw he became almost crazy. He cried all night long and 1t was because of this incident that she refused to marry Thaw, although asked by hlm three times. White, she said. made her promise not to tell her mother what had happened. She refused Thaw and told him that the reason she could not marry him was because White would laugh at 1 them when he met them.

Talked to Thaw Jury.

While the Thaw jury was on its way to court this morning. man on the street called out, Vote for Thaw."
 Captain Lynch of the court police immediately ordered the mans ar rest and he was brought to court to be arraigued before Justice Fitzger- aid. Captain Lynch attached no im- portance to the Incident, saying the man spoke simply ~as 8 smart Aleck." The captain did not believe any of the jurors heard the remark.

Women in Attendance.

AASSNAh<4eeAS<Cs At the afternoon session of the
 court yesterday women first appear
 ed in large numbers. Whether 1t was
 because the time when Thaw's. moth
 CT and wife will testify was fast ap-
 preaching, or whether it was because
 of Justice Fitzgerald's actIon in the
 morning in giving the women in the
 room an opportunity to withdraw be-
 fore hearing testimony '.which might
 well shock their sensibilities it is
 impossible to say. But they were
 there in large numbers, in costumes
 of all imaginable colors, topped with
 wonders in millinery and twisting and
 craning to catch sight of the defend
 ants face. So insistent were they
 that 1t was necessary for several bal
 His to circulate among them to keep them from rising in their seats.
 Yesterdays proceedings in the trial were snatchy and somewhat unsatis- factory. They gave little or no op- pOrtunlty for the observer to decide just what the more important wit nesses for the defense would say. Benjamin Roman, formerly a stage d0orkeeper at the Madison Square theater, testified that Stanford White had called at the theater one night three years ago to see Evelyn Nesbit, and when he heard that she had gone away with Thaw, drew a revolver and threatened to find and kill some- one before daylight. The witness SUD- posed that this referred to Thaw, but admitted that White did not ussa Thaw's name.
 Thomas McCaleb. who was with Ifaw and his wife on the night of the killing, both at Martins at dinner and at the Madison Square roof garden. testified that he saw Mrs Thav at Martins pass a note across the table to Thaw. It has been claimed since the shooting that 1t was the contents of this note that finally determined Thaw to kill White. Mir Delmas Thaw's leading counsel, dramatically asked District Attorney Jerome to produce this note. but the district at- torney failed even to reply to the re- quest.
 One of the features of the day, 60 far as the legal aspect of the case was was the argument of Mir | Delmas just before court adjourned ,n the admissibility of testimony | showing insanity in the collateral ines of the Thaw family. In this ar- yument Mir Delmas contended that the | defendant was entitled to every req Ionable doubt. not only In the facts h the case but in the law as well.

Legislature" law. is a law-nature or
law-faotory and where the law Is
formed by delegates to a legislature or
to ? constitutional convention. IT Is
legislative matter still, for it is
matter of law enactment
Whether the constitution legislates
upon subjects which might better have
been left 10 a legislature Is a matter
of private opinion which amounts to
nothing after public opinion expresses
itself
If the law is good what difference
can il make whether it appears in the
constitution or among the session
laws? Thus the question again re-
verts to the matter and not to the
place or number of words If the law
is bad, it is better of course thai
it should have come from the legis-
lature than the constitution, for the
reason that it is easier gotten rid Of

the constitution cannot be defect
II the matter be sound except on the
score of tautOlogy or proliXity and
which are questions of a different
kind Th more the constitution leg

Perhaps the convention was afraid
to trust the legislature with certain
subjects Perhaps again, the mem
bers felt that the We're a sort OF
angels visit which ought to be uti-
lized to the fullest extent possible for
the benefit, or supposed benefit, of the
people while the golden opportunity
lasted. In either event. or in both
events ii can make no difference. for

for that Is an inalienable right the
people have had since they discarded

supernatural power and took into
their own hands thir own government

NoN-PARTlsAN VIEWS
or THE PROPOSED
OKLAHOMA CONSTITUTION.

lSN 1dhuDfs.l
Ii is hard TO Judge Of this document
from the comments of partisan
press, or TO view it in its true proper
ti0ns through partisan spectacles.
Seen through a Republican lens. the
constitution is OF a sort of dirty vel
low COW color Viewed through a
Democratic glass the doucment is rosv
red and altogether lovely It would
be remarkable If the constitution
should be found TO contain no defects.
Lawmakers are not endowed with di-
vine wisdom. whatever their politi-
cal complexion. and most laws are
more OK less tentative II woud be
still more remarkable If the constitu-
tion was SO ineradically bad that It
was unworthy of ratification By the
people.
Length.
That the constitution IS long one
cannot be denied II consists approx
imately Of 52.e00 words. not counting
the election ordinance. and is about
seven times the length OF the consti-
tuition Of Kansas y IS over twice as
long as the constitution of Missouri,
but II treats Of more subjects than
does the constitution of either Of
either of these states. aud in this re-
lation its length must be judged As
distance IN q city appears much less
by reason OF buildings and other OBJ
iec appearing along the way. so the
length of the Oklahoma constitution
is not SO pronounced when broken

the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. Ifyou are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to 60 often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in 6fty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, DR.. Kill
