One of the great practical jokers of the British navy was one Jack Ha. thorn. He was officer of the watch iu the day when it was customary for the guard to present arms to the officer commanding the vessel whenever he left or boarded the ship.

THAW IS CRANKY
Anxious to Have Counsel Begin Proceedings for His Re-
 lease at Once.
CONFERENCE TO-DAY

New York, Feb 3.-A decision as to what steps should be taken and when the first move should be made to secure the release of Harry K Thaw from the asylum for the in sane at Matteawan was expected to be reached to-day. It was an- nounced that conference between Thaw, his relatives and his counsel will be held some time to-day at the asylum to decide whether or not to begin at once the proceedings look ing toward his discharge from GUS tody on the ground that he is not now insane. There are three ways in which the attempt may be under taken. One is to ask the superin- tendent of the Matteawan asylum to ascertain Thaw's sanity; another is to ask the state supreme court to appoint a commission to examine him, and the third is to produce him in the supreme court by writ of habeas corpus and have him exam ined by sheriff's jury
 These moves may be made either in Duchess county where the asylum is located or in New York county. One of the important points yet to be decided is when to begin the pro- ceedings. Thaw's counsel are re- ported to favor delaying any such action for month, but on the other hand Thaw is said to be pressing for instant action. Whether ThaW's mother and wife can prevail upon him to accept the advice of his coun- sel and be patient may be decided to-day. It was expected that both Mrs William Thaw, his mother, and Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, his wife, would visit him at Matteawan to-day. It was reported that Mrs William Thaw is preparing to take cottage near the asylum so as to be near her son.

In the struggle that followed he says that in attempting to restrain her he grabbed her throat and choked her. The young mans story is believed by tM members of his family and the neighbors, who say that Mrs Gray was very high strung woman prone to hysteria verging on insanity. The police differ and regard the case as foul murder.

FRANCO IS OUT
Premier of Lisbon Has Relin- guished His Power aud a
 New Cabinet is Formed.
KING MANUEL TALKS

Lisbon, Feb. 3.-Premier France has relinquished' power and a new cabinet has been formed with Admir- al Ferreira do Amaral as its presi- dent in the place of the late dictator Franco. This step signalized the practical withdrawal of Franco from power. He agreed to this measure as one calculated to pacify hostile pub lie opinion at time when only a spark was needed to inflame the whole country and drag it headlong to revolution. It is nevertheless be- lieved that Franco will still be "the man of power" But his official pre- negatives are at least shorn of real power.
 The opening session of the new council was held to-day.
 King Manuel II appeared before his ministers and with a voice vib- rant with emotion said:
 I am yet without experience either ip science or in politics. 1 place my self entirely in your hands, needing and believing in your patriotism and wisdom
 The new cabinet is made up of coalition element in the hope of re- conciling the many disturbing ele- ments. Some of the new ministers have been notably opposed to Fran co.'s iron rule. Not one of the Franco ministers remain so that his regime disappears with him. The complete cabinet as now formed is as follows:
 President Ferreira do Amaral, suc- ceeding Franco.
 Minister of War, Matthias Nunez succeeding V. Porto.
 Minister of Justice, Jose V. AL poim, succeeding Dr. Abren.
 Minister of finance, Teiera de Souza, succeeding A. De Carvalho.
 Minister of the interior, Senior Beirao, succeeding Franco, who held this portfolio in addition to the pres idency of teh council.
 Minister of foreign affairs, Wences-
 Minister of public works, Jose Zavedo, succeeding M. Ramayo.
 Minister of marine, Antonio Ca brel. succeeding Ayres de Ornellas.
 Tie ministry is thus entirely re- constructed from head to foot.
 The most notable changes are those of the president and minister of justice, the latter, Senhor Alpoim, having been foremost in opposition to the Franco regime.
 The city is still in the throes of intense excitement and the authori- ties continue to follow increasingly the details of the plot which cul- minated in the assassination of the king and heir. It was established to-day that Buiea, one of the regi- cides. is widower with a daughter aged z and son only few months old. The newspaper Noticias says one of the regicides who was killed was Spaniard who was taken into custody recently in connection with the discovery of depot of bombs, but who was later released.
 On.a of the men now under arrest is an Italian who played in the or chestra of a theater in Lisbon. This man is in an extreme condition of hysteria. His food in the prison is served him without knives or forks for fear that he will kill himself.
