eral officials and citizens who make
It a business to keep close watch on
affairs of Japan, are wondering what

many years has been confidential ad
viser to the mikado in regard to oc-'
cidental affairs, particularly with those
relating to North America. Ho Is
supposed to be somewhere In the
. United States at the present time. His
coming was announced to local cus
tom house officials and they expected
him on the Mongolia, but he did not
appear. It is said that he slipped off
at a British Columbia port. He was
expected to go to Washington to as
sist Takahira, now embassador from
Japan, In getting "in right" at the
capltol. He may be there now, but
if so, many people would like to know
Tn-; it, as his influence In any Japanese
" " American Imbroglio would be very
potent.

New York, Jan. 23. Counsel for
Harry K. Thaw are much worried
over the delay In arrival of the
steamer Adriatic, upon which are
three witnesses for the defense.
Dr. Charles of Albany, N. Y., testi
fied today that he examined the de
fendant on a New York Central train
at one time and thought him Irrational.
Dr. Charles C. Wagner was the sec
ond witness. A tiresome wrangling
with Jerome followed every attempt
made by Wagner to answer questions
put to him. The substance of his tes
tlmony was that the defendant en,
tertalned hatred against physicians
because he thought that they were In
conspiracy to put him In prison,
and that Thaw told him hs never In
tended to attack White, but that Prov
idence guided his hand when the
shot was fired.
The sensation of the day In the
Thaw trial was a startling statement
that Harry Thaw once appealed to
Jerome to have Stanford White
brought to the bar of justice and that
the appeal was Ignored because the
prosecutor did not think that Thaw's
motives were altogether' disinterested,
and believed that he was attempting
to use the district attorney's office to
help him win Evelyn from White.
These facts were developed In the
cross-examination of Dr. Charles
Wagner, who was an excellent witness
for the defense. He used no techni
cal terms and held the attention of
the Jury.
New York, Jan. 23. Leslie M
Shaw, now president of the Carnegie
TruBt company, but who will resign
from that position March 1, will de
vote his energies toward rounding u
a sufficient number of state delega,
tlons to control the republican con
ventlon and secure his own nomlna
tlon for the presidency.
It Is said that Shaw's seal In polttl
cal matters was the main cause of his
resignation from the trust company.
