WAIVED NO DIVORCE
 FROM THE OUTSET
It Is Stated That Mrs. Thaw Was Persuaded by Her Husbands Rela- tiVes to Begin It.

New York, May 26.-Evelyn Thaw, through her counsel, today withdrew the suit which she instituted some time ago for an annulment of her marriage to Harry Thaw. The mo- tion for the withdrawal was sane tioned by Referee Deyo, who had been appointed by the court to take testimony, and the case was declared discontinued.
 Immediately following the dismissal Daniel O'Reilly for Mrs. Thaw issued a statement in which he declared that Mrs. Thaw had been an unwilling party to the proceedings from the first. It was only because of pres sure on the part of her husbands relatives that she had taken any part in such a proceeding. and that she withdrew the action because she be- .lieves her husbands present cohdi tion demands her loyalty.
 O'Reilly declined to give the name of the relatives who brought persua- sion to bear on her to institute the proceedings for the annulment of her marriage. O'Reilly was quoted today as saying that there had been no reconciliation between Thaw and his wife and that Mrs. Thaw wanted none. He added that Mrs. Thaw thought she had a right to some financial recompense for the sacrifice she had made in Thaw's behalf. O'Reilly said that some steps of that kind might be taken but he did not indicate what form the movement would take

As Outlined By Ambassador SpeCk Wn
 Sternberg
An Article in Which He Takes Occasion to DenOunce the Story that Turkey has the Entire Support of Germany.

New York. May 26-Baron Specll von Sternburg. the German Ambassa- dor to the United States. has an ar ticle in the forthcoming Outlook giv- ing an official German view of the Macedonian situation. The ambassa- dor speaks with full personal as well as official information, as he was Ger many's agent at Belgrade for some time and made study there and in Macedonia of existing conditions. He says:
 owing to the fact that the Ameri- can press took much interest in statement I recently made regarding Germany's policy in Macedonia, and, further that I have received various letters from interested parties asking me to give these statements a wider view. and owing to the fact that from news circulated by a portion of the European press it appears that doubts are still arising among some powers with regard to Germany's attitude to the Balkan question, a question which at the present moment is of such gen. eral interest, permit me to give the following particulars.
 From a general point of view, Ger many holds the opinion that the maintenance of the status quo is in the interest of all the powers. Ger many agrees with the whole civilized world that the unbearable state of af- fairs in Macedonia urgently calls for a remedy, and that steps must be talk en to put a stop to the continuous bloodshed, murder, and outrages there.
 But Germany is convinced that all measures bearing upon this subject will only have a possibility of success if they receive the firm support of all the powers, acting in absolute har- mony with each other.
 Germany is ready to consider seri- ausly and favorably any suitable pro- posaI. from whatever side it may come by which the present state or affairs in Macedonia can be remedied; and is prepared to give her full consent hereto, provided that it meets the con sent Of the other powers.
 The question, What measures are most suitable? is a matter of discus sion At the first glance it seems doubtful to the German government if a larger or smaller increase of the police force would give the desired re- suit. but she is far from rejecting this idea ab initio as unfeasible. Ger many regards with some skepticism, however, the idea of placing the com mand of the Turkish troops in the hands of Christian officers, even if this is done by allowing European of ficers to direct the movements of the troops without their being actually in command of such troops when actual ly operating.
 Tn any case it holds the opinion that the task of elaborating practical measures destined to change or at least to ameliorate the state of affairs in Macedonia and it's deplorable feat ures should best be confided to the re- presentatives of the powers at Con- StantinOple.
 As far as Judiciary reform is con

time when judicial reform was pro- posed, has deliberately rendered diff .ficult the attitude of the powers to- wards the latter question.
 Tt must also be observed that there have been no negotiations between Berlin and Vienna concerning the question of the Sandschak railway. Berlin has neither suggested that pro- ject to Vienna nor in any way forced her support upon the Cabinet in Vien- ma On the other hand, Germany is in thorough sympathy with the rail- way project because Austria Hungary has acted in incontestable good faith and in perfect loyalty. It is also Ger manys firm opinion that the project ed railway would mean a most eff fective means for the economical as we'll as the moral development of the states touched by the road, and conse- quently she has supported the project in Constantinople for their pacifica- tion. She would also be ready to sym pathize with and support similar en- terprises, if equally justified and fol- lowing the same aims.
 "The boundary controversy between Turkey and Persia endangers no Ger man interests. Germany has, conse- quently not the slightest reason to take any part in it. She has, however, thought it advisable, for the sake of common interest, repeatedly to recom- mend in a friendly but urgent way to the Porte a peaceable settlement of the controversy and to suggest that Turkey should take the first step thereto by withdrawing her troops.
 Tt need scarcely be mentioned that the frequent statement by the foreign press asserting that Germany is sup porting Turkish armaments and en- couraging the warlike spirit in Turkey which in fact, acording to all infor- nation, is in no way discernible-are an absurb invention"

The COnferees on the Verge of an Agree
 ment to be Reported Today
Many Members Due at Home Next Saturday Dis posed to Bury their Objections to the Compromise Measure.

Washington May 26.-The senate and house conferees on the currency bills held three meetings today and reached tentative agreement on which will be based a compromise agreement which the republicans of the conference hope to reach at an ad- journed meeting tomorrow. At the conclusion of the final meeting to- night, the probability of reporting a compromise bill to the two houses was much stronger than at any time in the session. Indeed, it is cOnsid- cred certainty.
 The following are the main points of the understanding that have been reached: The reserve provisions in the Vreeland bill calling for the re- tention of 9 per cent in central re- reserve cities, and 15 per cent in other reserve cities are reducd to a straight 10 per cent reserve; a higher rating is allowed to state and municipal bonds than to other securities upon which emergency currency may be taken out by banks; the amount of circulation issuable upon a commer- cial paper basis is limited to 40 per cent of the capital of the applicant bank, instead of 100 per cent an pro- vided in the Vreeland bill; the re- demptiOn fund requirement of per cent under the present law is in creased to 10 per cent for all emer- gency currency taken out; the total amount femergency currency issua- ble is confined within a maximum of $500, ,OOO,OOO, as provided by the AL drich bill.
 If the bill is reported out of con ference tomorrow, it will be passed by the house tomorrow. Notices were sent out tonight by order of Speaker Cannon for every republican member to be in his seat at II o'clock, when it is expected the com promise bill will be reported. It is intimated that the republican major ity is prepared to accept whatever the conferees may recommend but it is not believed that the democrats of the house will be denied the privilege of some expression of views.
 The conditions are so different in

cerned, the German government con- siders the realization of such as not only useful, but as absolutely neceS- sary. It does not regard it as the most appropriate measure for quieting the Balkan states,and also doubts that the scheme for a reform of the Turkish judiciary system in it's present form is appropriate in all points. But whether this scheme be considered as perfect in all details or whether it is de- fective and offers difficulties of exc cution. the German government is ready. in order not to trouble the con- cert of the powers. to give its con sent to the project as it now stands, if all the powers do likewise
 Accordingly, the German Ambassa dor at Constantinople has not only been empowered but explicitly in- structed to sign the note on judiciary reform that has been proposed, and to recommend its acceptance in this re- form, should an expression of his views be requested by the Ottoman government.
 Tt should, however, not be overlook ed that different opinions may exist ItSdA uiAA5 lAlt litNNsoelAN NeAONA~' Ao bN pursued, while it would not be justifi able to consider one or the other as wrong or contradictory to general principles. It may, on the one hand, be thought practicable to transmit the project Of judiciary reform, in its present shape. incomplete though it is, to the Porte by means of an official note, as this could furnish the basis for further negotiations during which might be obtained. especially the pro- longation of the mandate. On the other hand, it may first be advisable to improve the project and give it form which, though not excluding a refusal by the Porte, would not give occasion for obstinate resistance by the latter.
 Baron Marchall von Bieberstein, the German Ambassador in Constanti- nople, in conformity with his col leagues, seems to prefer the second all ternative. It is obvious that the Ba- ron. as well as the other ambassadors who hold the same views. does not wish his attitude to disturb or to check the planned reforms, but is an xious to further the same and to se- cure it's accomplishment. It is well known that, from the beginning, he recommended just as emphatically as his colleagues the prolOngation of the mandate.
 As to the question of the Sandschak railway. there is no doubt that Austria Hungary is entitled by the Treaty of Berlin to carry out that project, and that the powers recognize her right to do so; nor does Germany consider this purely economical project to be incon- sistent with either the wording or the meaning of the purely political entente between Russia-and Austria Hungary, especially with the Murzsteg program me. Germany. further, does not recog- nize as justifiable the statement which has been put forth occasionally, that Austria Hungary, by obtaining the Sandschak railway concession at a

 Body With Too Much Power.

Kansas City, May 26.-Discord en- tered for the first time into the pro- ceedings of the assembly of the Pres byterian church of the United States, while the committee on administra- tive agencies report was under discus sion. It was apparent during a heated discussion of the report that there was in the general assembly strong sentiment in favor of a reorganization of the administrative agencies of the church by changing the personnel of this important committee. although a motion to that effect was defeated. It was declared that too much power was given the twenty-one members of the committee and that no officer of any board of the church except the moderator should belong to the ad
 ministrative agencies committee.

SUIT
 FOR PLAINTIFF
Damages Awarded Against
 Phoenix Railway Co
Trial of Case Which Was Held at Prescott on Change of Venue.

Prescott. May 26.-(SpeciaL )-The hard fought damage suit of the es tate of George Sanders against the Phoenix Street Railway company, brought here on a change of venue, ended in a victory here today for the plaintiff in a verdict for $5,000, the amount limited by statute. J. Nj. Jamison appeared for the plaintiff and c. F. Ainsworth. both of Phoe- nix, for the Street Railway company Though the litigation was foreign, a great deal of local interest in the suit was aroused in the course of the trial.
 This action was begun before the court of this district more than four years ago. The original plaintiff was George Sanders, who sued for injuries received in being thrown from a car almost exactly five years ago. He was a passenger on a car rounding the curve at the capitol grounds and was swung off with two other passengers, one of whom fell on top of him. The injuries he re- ceived were pronounced by a physi clan to be permanent and he brought suit to recover damages.
 Before the case came to trial San ders died, it was alleged, as a re- suit of his injuries and the suit was displaced by another, begun in the name of the widow who had been appointed administrator of his estate In the preliminary steps the rulings were invariably adverse to the plain tiff. A couple of years ago the wid ow was called to Manila by the ill., ness of a sister. Mrs. Bishop. who afterward died. Mrs. Sanders re- mained in the Philippines, where she married her brother-in-law and now resides.
 After she had been gone from the country about six months. a son and daughter of Sanders by a former wife, moved for the revocation of her letters of administrator. There was a vigorous contest in the probate court, by Judge Jamison, who had had charge of the damage suit from the beginning. Mrs. Sanders letters were recalled and l.. H. Landis on the application of the son and daugh ter was appointed administrator.
 The new administrator as well as the heirs, took little interest in the damage suit. The heirs released the estate from any part of a judgment -hat might be recovered and the ad- though he refused to permit the suit to be carried on at the expense of the estate, allowed the use of his name as plaintiff. Judge Jamison having consented to bear the expense of the litigation.
 Finally all preliminary obstacles to the trial were removed and a change of venue was taken to Yavapai county.

THE HOUSE.


 Washington, May 26.-The two floor leaders of the house again to- day occupied the center of the stage. and performed the usual feat of charging each other with respOnsi- bility for the conditions at present existing in that body. It came about through an order presented by Mir. Payne of New York granting five days leave after adjournment, in which to print in the Congressional Record, remarks that might have been, but were not made on the floor. He took occasion to arraign the democrats for the filibuster and said the republicans have no apology to make for their course.
 MT. Williams accused the majority of doing nothing in the present ses-- sion and opposed the order because it gave members no opportunity to reply to statements which he felt in advance would call for an answer. The order was adopted.
 Following this discussion, business proceeded at a rapid gait. The con- ference report on the military academy

TH LAST GREAT DAY OF
 WARSHIPS AT SEATTLE
A Parade Which Made a Holiday in
 That City of the Sound.

Seattle, May 26.-Rear Admiral Spe-rv landed this forenoon an arm ed force of 5000 men who made for Seattle a holiday by parading through the streets of the city. The sailors were accompanied by a land force of coast artillery and infantry from the neighboring forts. Lawton, WOr- den, Casey and Flagler and the local militia and civic societies.
 An amusing diversion was made in the middle of the procession by the appearance of twelve bear cubs brought from the city of Aberdeen to be presented as mascots for the bat tleships. Each bear was led by a prominent citizen of Aberdeen. The antics of the cubs called forth much laughter.
 At the reviewing stand, where the parade was greeted by the largest crowds along the line, the scene was one of spectacular interest. The bril- liant party on the reviewing stand occupied a platform exactly in the center of the big structure. At the special request of Admiral Sperry, Governor Mead and Mayor Miller joined the commander of the fleet in reviewing the column as it passed.
 The stay of the fleet was practi- cally ended today. Tonight shore leaves are suspended, fareweils are being said and special trains are re- turning the thousands of visitors to their homes. On the fleet prepara- tions are being made to raise an chors at am. and steam to Ia coma. a few miles to the southward.
