Thaw, in tail Witted for the murder of Stanford White, set at rest the speculation on this point to -day. Justifiable homicide and. the straight plea of insanity hatt been suggested as a line of defence, but Thaw himself made the moray move impossible by hie refusal to consider it and. by declining to allow alienists to question, him. It will not be clamed that the young man is insane now. Snell a plea would mean a sentence to the asy- lum for criminal insane at Matthewan. This new line means a trial and if the plea of "emotional insanity" is justified Thaw will be a free man. The defense, it has also been announced, plans to bring out the whole story of White's life, of his relations with Evelyn. Nesbit be- fore she married Thaw and of his sub- sequent actions, which the defense claims annoyed Mrs. Thaw and goaded the hus- band on to Um shooting. District Attorney Jerome, who is on his vacation, left Cape Breton yesterday EVELYN THAW, Formerly Evelyn Nesbit, the Show Girl for whom Harry Thaw Killed White, for New York. The arraignment of Thaw in the court of Special Sessions is simply for the purpose Of receiving the prisoner's plea. of "Not Guilty," and Mr. Jerome's return, it is expected, ill hurry the actual trial. It is suggested to -day that the district attorney may personally conduct the prosecution. Mrs. Thaw will be a witness for her husband at the She has declared her willingness to tell all she knows. She fully realizes that in doing so the will subject herself to a searching eross- cross-examination. That Thaw bought a revolver to kill White, or that the kill- ing was premeditated, will be denied. The defense is prepared to prove that 'Chow had been accustomed for more than two years to carry a revolver. About two years ago, [wording to evidence in its possession, Thaw was attacked by thugs while out, late at night and since that time he had carried a weapon. New York, July 2.—Thaw's action in telephoning Anthony Comstock yesterday aroused much interest. Mr. Comstock, in an interview, is quoted as saying that he is willing to appear for the defence if galled upon and give evidence as td White's eonduet. "About a year and. a half ago," said Mr. Comstock, "Thaw came to see me, and complained about 'White's actions. After his marriage he came to- me many times. lie isaW me again about two weeks before the mur- der.

New York, July 2.—It took the grand jury less than half en hour yesterday to indict Harry Kendall Thaw for the murder of Stanford White, after a cor- oner's jury had heard the testimony of five witnesses to the shooting, anti had declared that White had cense to his death from one of Thaw's pistol shots. There was only ono additional wit- ness before the grand jury. in the in- dictment proeeelings. She was Mrs. Thaw. Mrs, Thaw availed herself of her privilege as a wife, refused to ans- wer any questions and was excused. It will be claimed that this fit of tem- porary madness was brought on from Thaw seeing White unexpectedly at the Cafe Martin on Monday evening, only a few tables away, causing him to leave the restaurant, and again seeing him at the roof garden show. In connection with this plea, it was learned, the de- fence expects to show that Stanford White accomplished the Nesbit girl's ruin when he had got her stupified from drink, and that Thaw teamed of ibis later. It also will be shown, it is stet- A ed, that. after the girl became Mts. Thaw,White continually pursued her, and tried to annoy her by staring at her and ogling her •at public pieces when she Wan with her husband, While Dr. Timothy Lehane, the first witness, who performed the autopsy, was describing minutely the wounds, received by White, and the courses taken by the fatal bullets, Thaw scru- pulously refrained from looking at the witness. Distress Evident. Once or twice as the gruesome de- scription went on, the inward distress of the prisoner was plainly evidsnt, though he strove heroically to conceal it. His twitching fingers and his pain- ful attempts to screen from himself the tragic scene, thus freshened in his mind, indeed plainer than words the ordeal he was' enduring. Doomed at Any Rate. Stanford White' life was shortened only two years at the most by Thaw's act last Monday night, in the opinion of the physicians who performed the autopsy upon his body. The result of the autopsy, which was made public to- day, shows that 'White was a sufferer front Bright's disease of the kidneys, in- cipient tuberculosis ant fatty &genera - .1 1 :I STANFORD WHITE.

The physician de- clares that White could not have lived more than two years in view of his physical condition even had he not been struck down by Thaw's bullet. What His Wife Said. Warner Paxton, an engineer, testified that he accompanied the prisoner and Mrs. Thaw down in the elevator and when asked. as to what conversation passed between Mr. and Mrs. Thaw, said: "The woman said: 'Look at the fix you have pushed yourself into now.'" "'What did Thaw say?" "He said: "It's all right, dearie, have probably saved your life.'" The witness said the prisoner was not excited but appeared cool and calm. , RIGO AND CIIIMAY.

Lisbon, July 2.—The Town of Ambrizette, an important commerical centre in the dis- triet of Angola, in Portuguese Lower Guinea, has been totally annihilated by natives. The British rind Portuguese mercluints In the town have sustained heavy losses. Some disaffection has been noticed lately among the natives of Angola. Last week they broke out In open revolt, and over 3,000 war- , riors surrounded the town. The European population, which 13 compar- atively small, defended the place heroically, but they were overwhelmed by force of num- bers and compelled to retreat within a stock- ade and defend their own lives. Then the natives set to work and destroyed every store and every Enropean habitation. . Luckily the British steamer Jobbo arrived when the fate of the Europeans appeared to bo precarious.

A TEN -MILE BOULEVARD. Paris Projecting Great Work at Cost of $2o,000,000. Paris, July 2.—The Department of 1110 Seine is discussing a great scheme for the construction of a grand boule- vard from the gates of Paris to lit.

But He Will Stay at Peterhof in the Meantime. The Guard Around the Palace Has Been Doubled, • St. Petersburg, July 2,—An official denial is given of the report that the Em- peror and eourt are leaving Peterhof and. returning to Tsarskoe-Selo, owing to the discovery of a revolutionary plot among the palace servants. The report is offi- cially accounted for by rumors following the retirement of (len. Lermintoff, con ms- ender of the Imperial regiment of Uhl 111114, and his successor, The former's re- tirement is stated to be due purely to private considerations, but several offi- cers of his staff are indignant at the promotion of Col, Lermintoff over their heads, and have asked to be relieved, giv- ing rise to a report of the discovery of a revolutionary plot. While the of 111151 explanations aro regarded with suspicion, as 11 18 beyond question that the tcrror- hits and revolutionists are constantly et - tempting to gain a foothold in the palace, there is no anise to doubt the truth of the official.statement that the court Las no Mention of returning to Tsarskoc- Selo this summer.

There is an elaborate system of wireless telegraphy connecting the palace at Peterhof with the fortress- es of Cronstadt, Viborg, and Helsingfors, and with the warships in the gulf, thus insuring Die Majesty against being again eut off from the outside world, as he was during the telegraph operators' strike of last fall. Since the revelations that dis- loyalty had evaded even "His Majesty's Owe' regiment (the Probrajensky regi- ment of the guards), it is asserted here that nothing would be surprising. Geri. Trepoff, commander of the palace, who is personally charged with the safety of the Emperor's person, has redoubled his precautions. Tho garrison at Peterhof has been strengthened by a guard of Cauca- sians, and the detachment around the palace has been doubled. The servants at the palace as hereto- fore, are the Emperor's faithful Mam- olukes and Tartars, some of whom do not speak the Russian language.

A. Kingston despateli: As a result of a fierce encounter at Kingston this after- noon about a score of Italian strikers are in the police station. Tho ring- leader, Vinzenso Delnla, thirty years old, has a bad cut over the left eye, width he evidently received from a policeman's club. Mounted artillerymen rounded up the vicious disturbers. Ten were taken at the station and nine at Cataramii village, two Miles distant, where they had fled on hearing that the soldiers were ordered. out. The arrests were made without a shot being fired the strikers being cowed. About a hundred Italians employed by the G. T. IL in repairing the road. be- came dissatisfied with - their remuner- ation and refused this morning to work longer. They have been laboring right along for a dollar and a. half per day, and want their wages raised to $2. This morning the section foreman ordered them to make up a train and. proceed to near Collin's Bay, where there was some work to be done. Then the trouble started, and the bedlam of voices and endless gesticulating was very exciting. About 10 o'clock this morning the police received a call to the lower depot, where the Italians were engaged in a free fight. They drew their knives, and tlungs wero exceedingly lively for a spell, one man receiving a gash on the head, which necessitated his removal to the General Hospital. A second inessage announced that peace and quiet- ness once more reigned, This after- noon hostilities were resumed, and at 1.40 o'clock the call crone for the police. Sergeant Nesbitt and Constables Naylon and. McAdoo went to the sceue. The Italians were on the platform acting in s threatening and boisterous manner. In view of the istirke, Chief Special Agent SfeRae ef the G. T. R. detective agency, and Dcteetivo James Harnett, were mlered to Kingston, and reached lucre it noon on the International Limited from Montreal. Three policemen and two detectives, however Were no match for one hundred mazy men, many of whom were armed with knives and revolvers. The guard- ians of the law had only their clubs. When Police Sergeant Nesbitt made a rush to arrest the ring -leaders of the strikers, the latter drew their stabbing and shooting weapons, firing the latter in all directions. Sergeant Nesbitt grasped his man, but was immediately surrounded and when he emerged his left arm was useless, having been ripped from the shoulder five inches down. Chief Detective McRae was also in the scramble, and was suddenly grasped around the waist and n knife run into bus nbdomen on the left side. The strikers then rushed the police and de- tectives over the platform and the latter had to make their escape. One of the foreigners continued to fire, and it is thought that some of his eomrados must have received some of lois m5 - munition. They did not memo un- hurt. Probably a dozen of them were knocked down by the clubs of the po- lice and detectives. The later had "bil- lies," 15111011 knock clown men without cutting.
