Only the presen ce of police prevented a riot at the Old Barnabite monastery, which has been re-christened the Church of the Holp Apostles, where the French Ap ostolic Catholic Church was inaugua rater Sunday.

Senator TJavner'a address on the exnansion of executive prerogatives, Seantor Lodge's brief reply, and an extended discussion ot the adminis tration of the public land laws by Senator Hepburn constituted Fri day's proceedings in the Senate. Disclaiming any intention of as sailing President Roosevelt and professing for him profound personal esteem, Senator Raynor addressed tbe Senate at considerable lengtn in critical review of what he termed the President's usurpation of govern- n - 1 mental iunetions not conterrea on mm by the constitution. He first alluded to the recent speech of Secretary Root, in which was described the gradual enlarge ment of Federal power at the ex pense of the States. "I regard this doctrine," said Mr. Eayner, "thus announced, adhered to and empha sized, as a most dangerous and insid ious attack on the institutions of the country." He said that because these doctrines were being constant ly illustrated in the administration of thp irnvernment "thev must be taken, as they were intended to be taken, as manifesting the purpose ot tne present administration to carry this new doctrine of constitutional con struction into execution whenever the opportunity or emergency may arise for its exercise. The Presi dent is laboring under the honest im pression that he is responsible to the country for the legislation of Con gress. ' ' "President Made His Treaty." The first instance of "conflict be tween the executive and legislative factions," Mr. Rayner said, was the Santo Dommsro affair, in whicn he said the President has evidently made his own treaty." Without dis cussing whether the treaty was right, he said, "the charge that I make is viloation of the constitution. J. he treaty has been practically, carried into effect without consulting the Senate." Mr. Rayner turned his attention to the judiciary, announcing his belief that this branch of the government ought to be entirely free from execu tive interference. "It is therefore my judgment," he added, "that the criticism by tbe President of Judge Humphrey with reference to his de cision in the case known as the meat packers' case, in the Illinois court, was uncalled for and an invasion of his judicial prerogatives. we cannot tolerate such intrusion on the rights of the courts," con tinued Mr. Rayner. 'The courts are not responsible to any 'President of the United States for their judgment. in silence to a rebuke of the Execu tive. He could well with dignified and calm defiance have proclaimed from the bench 'I am a sovereign here; you have no greater right to interfere with me than I have eitra judicially to denounce an act of yours as usurpation. " "Intrusion" Upon the States. Mr. Rayner then pronounced his disapproval of the President for his "intrusion" upon the States, taking for example the note of the Presi dent to Governor Guild, of Massa chusetts, in which the course of the Governor wTas commended in refusing to interfere in the carrying out of the death sentence against Charles L. Tucker. "I never knew a communi cation of this sort to be sent by a President to the Governor of a State since the foundation of the republic," said Mr. Rayner, "and I deeply re gret and deplore the occurrence." Inland Waterway Bill. Senator Simmons has introduced a bill apropriating $704,000 for con necting the Albemarle, Pamlico and other sounds and rivers with Beau fort inlet. The engineers who made the surveys under the provisions which Senator Simmons had incor porated under the last river and har bor bill, estimate that this connec tion by a 12-foot canal can be made by the government by the expendi ture of this amount mentioned. Of course this is a part of the much-discussed inland waterway, advocated by Mr. Small, and which received no recognition from the House commit tee. Senator Simmons is entertain ing a lively hope that something will be done for the project when the river and harbor bill reaches the Sen ate. In Honor of Gorman. The business of the House was laid aside at 2 o'clock by previous arrangement, in order that the mem bers might pay fitted tribute to the memory of the late" Senator from Maryland, Arthur Pue Gorman. Rep resentative Talbot, of Maryland, was the first speaker and he was follow ed by Speaker Cannon, who called Mr. Talbot to preside over the House and, taking a place near his old seat on the Republican side, told in simple phrases of his long associa tion with the dead Senator. The tribute of the Speaker to Mr. Gor man was warm and heartfelt and the unusually large number of Repres entatives present unconsciously broke into applause at the conclusion of his tender estimate of this famous son of Maryland. Other eulogies were delivered by Messrs. Livingstone, of Georgia; Smith of Missouri; Clayton, of Ala bama; Byrd of Mississippi; Goulden, of New York, and Gill of Maryland Twenty Feet at New Orleans. New Orleans, Special. The ap- rjroaehme flood situation here was aggravated by the announcement of the local weather bureau that a stage of 20 feet will be reached at New Orleans, owing to rains of the past two days over the Mississippi valley, The gauge read 18.2, with the water which has reached the top of the low section of the levee m the down town district at Canal street beginning to wash the sand bags, which have been piled upon the levee. TY THE PLEA Trial of Harry K. Thaw is Now Well Begun THE CASE FOR THE STATE GIVEN The Thaw Case Fully Before the Court Plea of Insanity the Prin cipal Defense. New York, Special The State laid its case against Harry K. Thaw a plain unemotioul story of the shooting on the Madison Square Gar den roof, leaving the malice and the motive to be inferred from the act and the defense replied with a plea of hereditary insanity. It was asserted that Thaw, in slaying Stanford White believed he was acting as an agent of Providence, that real or fancied wrongs committed against him by the architect and former friend of his wife had boiled and bubbled in his brain until at last there came the explosive impulse to kill. When the deed was done, Thaw made no move to escape its consequences, but hold ing the fatal revolver aloft, he stood mutely proclaiming to the world: "The deed is done; it was right; it was not wrong.', Thus Thaw's counsel outlined his case to the jury, after the prosecu tion had occupied less than two hours of the morning sitting of the court in relating through eye-witnesses the narrative of the tragedy. When the defense had interposed its plea and outlined its case, an adjournment was taker Will Hear Story of Insanity. "You will hear the story of this man's insanity." Attorney John B. Gleason, for the defense, promised the jury, "from his mother, from his wife, from relatives and from his physicians. You will judge him ty his acts, by the heredity and stress which entered into his madness, and when you come to judge him you will say to yourself that his act may have been one of insanity, but it was not one of crime." That Thaw's wife was to be one of his most important witnesses has long been known; that his mother, Mrs. William Thaw, of Pittsburg, was to take the stand only became known positively when the court enforced the rule excluding from the court room all witnesses save experts. Thaw's mother, at the command, left the room after a moment's hesitation. She seemed unwilling to be parted J 1 vi in iii o .-i - - i.. L.i iW, or 1 1 1 1 1 v-w His wife, too, reluctantly left tbe room, bestowing a last radiant smile of courage and hope upon her prisoner-husband. May MacKenzie was the third of tbe women, who have been daily included in the Thaw par ty, to leave the court room. Thaw seemed dejected. Many times last week during the dull days of jury selection he turned to his wife for comfort and found her ever ready with a quick responsive t-mile. Now that tbe serious work of the trial was to begin he was to be denied her presence. The Jury Completed. The jury, as completed follows: Foiman, Deming B. Smith, 55, retired manufacturer, married.

River Rising at New Orleans. New Orleans, Special. The river here continues to rise slowly, a gain of a tenth of a foot being recorded in the past 24 hours.

Mutual Immigration Treaty. Tokio, By Cable. After a careful survey of public feeling here regard ing the prospects , of a satisfactory solution of the San Francisco school controversy it may be stated that while the approach of the termination of the disagreeable affair is welcom ed, yet the report from Washington that a solution may be effected by a mutual treaty excluding the immigra tion of laborers ia generally dibe Uaved at unreasonable.
