 The Austro-German armies pushed westward thE hugh Ga1icia, recaptured PrzernysI, June 8, and then without pause struck at Lemberg from the south and west At no point were the Russians able to withstand the terrific bombardment directed against their positions and even the line of defenses near Grodel1, 1'6 miles west of Lemberg which is of great natural strength, proved to be untenab1e.
 The fighting in this campaign has been of unusual intensity with heavy losses The figures of killed, wound ed and captured, as given in Austrian, German and Russian official state ments, run into the hundreds of thou sands.

 Initiative.

Washington, June 23-Great Bri- tain's further memorandum to the United States on the British order in council as it affects neutral shipping, reached the state department today from Ambassador Page at London. Sir Edward Grey delivered 1t to the American ambassador yesterday.
 Secretary Lansing had not gone over the emorandum today and it was not known whether it would be construed as a reply to the last Amer ican note or a new communication on the subject. The initiative in making it public. it was stated, would be left to Great Britain, unless the memor- andum itself contains some submis- ssion on that point.
 a While the British memorandum probably will be taken under consid- eration before the American note to Great Britain now in coIrse of prep aration is finally prepared for trans mission, it was said that it would not affect the sending of the ,communica- tion.t The note will reiterate the American protest against the iIlegality of the principals in the order in coun- ci1.

MT. Gdo- dard, widow of Walter Goddard of this city, was adrninistratrix on the es- tate of her father, Barzil1a~ Gray, and she is being sued to recover Aaron Burr Gray's share in this estate.
 Barzilla Gray died in this city, May 8, 1900, leaving an estate valued at S3,688. Mrs. Goddard said her father never spoke of Aaron Burr Gray,who was his son by his first wife.

Gray, administra- tor on his estate, is carrying on the suit

New york, June 2s-Harry K. Thaw was the first witness called to- day at the opening of the jury trial to determine his sanity in the su- preme court here today Thaw went on the stand immediately after the opening arguments
 Thaw was smiling as he took the stand and appeared to be in the best of spirits.
 While awaiting his call to the wit ness box, Thaw listened intently to the arguments in his behalf which were presented by John B. Stanchhe1d-
 Stanchfield, reviewed the circum- stances of the killing of Stanford White and argued that Thaw is not rAow insane and would not, if legally released, be a menace to a commun- 1ty wherein he might be residing.
 The attorney went at some length into the matter of ThaW's marriage with Evelyn Nesbit and his relations with her. Touching upon the second trial of Thaw for the killing of White, MT. stanchfield quoted W. T. Jerome, the prosecutor, as saying that 'sno one pretends that Thaw is insane as he now sits In court

 Thaw was then called to the stand. MT. Stanchf1eld questioned him in a low tone of voice and Thaw answer ed in equally inaudible tones. He testified that when he left Mattea- wan he believed he had recovered his sanity and that physicians had told him so.
 Thaw was taken over the history of his escape to Canada and his sub- seQuent movements.
 ''You formed acquaintances at var ious of the places where you stop ped ?'' s'I was very fortunate in form ing acquaintances,'' was the reply.
 MT. Stanchfield asked the witness great detail and this Thaw did with out hesitation.
 'sIt is a fact that while you were staying in Manchester, N. H., you en- tertained Afriends and acquaintances and in turn were entertained by them ?'' That is right" replied the witness.
 Thaw was asked-to tell of the ex- animation of his sanity made in Man chester by the federal commission in connection with the proceedings to ex- tradite him to New York. He nam e0 the m0mDerS or the cCmn1LI60 ana told how it came to be appointed. Physicians representing a Pittsburgh bank had also come to see him in Manchester, said Thaw, '<but did not give them much of an examination. g
 This Pittsburgh bank honored your check, did they not?'' ''Yes, and the banks in New Hampshire, Cana da and e1sewhere,'' said the witness.
 MT. Stanchne1d then turned the witness over to the states attorney, but Deputy Attorney General Cook announced that he would not cross examine at this time. Thaw was then excused.
