THE SANITY OF THAw.

HE question OF the present sanity Of Harry
= X Thaw, on trial for the killing of Stan
ford White, having occupied so much attention
during the recent days of the trial, Judge Fitz-
gerald has appointed a commission to decide the
fate OF the prisoner Practically Thaw's future
temporarily, is taken from the hands of the jury
If he is declared insane by the commission, he
will be sent TO an asylum the penalty that Thaw
has been seeking so hard TO avoid II he is de-
cided mentally balanced at present the jury will
then be called upon to determine whether he was
insane at the time he fired the fatal shot
There is little doubt that his family would have
preferred the appointing of commission when
the trial first started. They have had to endure
the publicity and the agonizing suspense for ten
long weeks, only to see that the commission pro-
ceedings which Thaws former lawyers had ad-
vised, have been taken. 1t looks as though Thaw
will not walk from the court room free man
and obtain the "vindication" of the "unwritten
law upon which he has based his fondest hopes

PRECEDENT AGAINST A BOY

MADRID. March 2S.-The hopes OF
the Spanish people that the Queen wi
give birth to a male heir to the throne
are likely to be disappointed IL prece-
dent holds good in the present case.
They have been reminded through a
remark made by King Alfonso In the
course Of a conversation that for tWo
hundred years past the first royal child
in the direct line Of succession has al
ways been a girl.
BY another coincidence the first born
of the oldest Infanta during the same
period has always been a boy.

FANATICS. Are THEY2

TIE ten thousand or more voters who sup
\ ported the initiative and referendum law
in this city may be fanatics but we hardly
think so This legislative reform is supported
by many of the ablest thinkers Of the country 1t
is safeguard surrounding legislation. 1t is
needed in Delaware There is nothing in it that
might cause alarm TO the most conservative.
1t is protection rather than danger The
voters Of this city overwhelmingly supported it.
Those down the State would have done so had
the campaign been conducted there as it was in
Wilmington
TO assume that citizens who do not vote for a
measure are opposed to it, is ridiculous
A majority Of the people in ordinary elections
means majority Of the votes cast. The stay-at-
homes deprive themselves of voice in govern
ment Hence, if large majority OF the votes
actually cast support bill the Legislature is
warranted in acting accordingly.

solid mineral characteristic of that
big mother lode. The conditions
as TO the water flow are not so
bad as formerly and it is now
possible to make better progress in
driving, Ii is estimated that by
March /, nearly all of the water
will have been drained from the
property as the water is now down
10 the ninth level of the main
shaft.
Operations are being enlarged
