The Thaw Trial.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE jury in the
Tnaw case has been secured, /. and after
a consultation with medical experts,
counsel for Thsu announced today that
the defe ise would be that he is suffering
from the mental disease known to ex-
psris as "stuporousmelsncholis." The
symptoms of this disorder are declared
by DR.. Allan McLsne Hamilton to be
The failure of the afflicted person TO re-
alizs events Transporting 10 bis or her
life, or Leading up to a tragedy, but
upon the elimination of tragedy the
mind is reawskened and there is then 3
possibility ola cure.
This plea was urged in the case OF
Thomas HarrigaD, plumber, who slew
the traducer of his sister some years ago
and was promptly acquitted by jury.
"Unless something unforeseen deVel-
ops, the State will complete its direct
proof OF the killing of Stanford White by
Harry Kendall Thaw at the morning
session on Monday" declared District
Attorney Jerome today.
On Monday morning, Just before Mr..
Garvin makes his opening address,
Attorney Littleton for the defense will
make motion for the appointment of q
commission to visit Pittsburg aud take
the deposition OF Mrs. William Th'w,
Harry's mother. Her physician there
has notified counsel for the defence that
there is absolutely no chance Of her
health permitting the trip to New York
to testify.
1t is likely that the expert witnesses
who testified for Mr.. Jerome at the first
trial, that Thaw was paranoiac, will
be called early in the trial. Ii they
repeat their testimony it is possible Mr..
Jerome will at once call for the appoint
ment of q commission to pass upon
Thaw's present mental condition and
the trial will be halted until that matter
can be gotten out Of the way.

Secretary Tsft last night faced q New
York audience, set forth in detail his
stand on the pertinent question OF the
relative interests aud rights of labor and
capital and in turn submitted to rapid
FIRE attack from the audience, which
ouizzed him keenly and in q somewhat
controversial spirit, according to the
practice of The Peoples Institute, whose

sny Injustice done to corporate capital,
particularly drastic legislation against
railroads, reacts directly upon the wage
esrners. Workingmen, he said, should
carefully discriminate in approving or
disappearing legislation of this kind.

SATURDAY EVENING. JAN. II. 1868.

ACCORDING to dispatch from Con-
stantinople, the Sultan of Turkey Is
about to play part similar to that OF
Cyrus several centuries before the Chris
tian ere. He is to aid the Zionists In re-
covering Palestine and in reconstructiDg
the Jewish commonwealth 10 the land OF
promise into which Moses led the favor
ed people nearly thirty.fve hundred
years ago. 1t has been nearly ninetesn
hundred years since Titus captured Je-
russlem, since which tins the Hebrews
have been q people without country,
king or high priest; ye. during all these
wears they have hung teuaciously to the
faith of their fathers and have literSlly
remained separate from other nations.
Their prophets, who foretold their dis
psrsion, also pressged their restoration,
and while he bulk Of the people have
i,oo since lost Interest in The forecasts OF
their seers, there has always been GER
tam percentage who read their Bible
literally snd believe il the restoration OF
the kingdom of Israel. The Zonists Of
this day are representatives Of this ele-
ment. and their views are held by many
not Jews, but readers of and believers in
The sacred writings. What has been
done before is likely to be done again.
The Babyloalans, centuries before the
dawn of the Christian era, sacked Je-
rusalew, destroyed Solonon's temple
and carried the inhabitants away cap
tiyes. During the seventy years that
elapsed there was every reason. to believe
that the capital of the Jewish nation
would remain as q lodge in garden Of
cucumbers. But it did not. 1t is said
that one of the captives went to King
Cyrus and showed him the writings Of
the prophet Isaiah, who had phophesled
centuries before Cyrus was born that be
WIS to be raised up for the purpose OF
aiding the Jewish race in returning 10
Palestine. Cyrus was 50 enthused by
the fact that the Jehovah of the Hebrews
had honored him tosuch an extent as to
place his name in the sacred writings,
isaiah XIV that he used all his i'm
meuse power toward carrying out the
words of the prophet. We have no recol-
lection of seeing Abdul Hamid's name
