(By Leased Wire to The Times.) New York, Jan. 13 Harry Thaw went on trial for the murder of Stan ford White for a second time this morning. When he entered the courtroom he evidenced nervousness. His dark face was drawn and lined and his gen eral appearance and manner showed that he had spent an anxious night. Thaw Is not In the same condition of health, nor Is he as cool and collect ed as he was during his first trial. The prosecution opened with Its statement of the case and immedi ately appeared for the taking of testimony. A few hours only will be required for the state to finish. All that is necessary for Mr. Jerome to do is to prove the commission of the murder. As this Is admitted lit tle testimony will be heard. When Thaw entered court he glanced quickly at the "Thaw row", which is the customary place In court for his wife and his other relatives. His wife smiled bravely and he an swered with a nod. His brother Jo slah and his sister, Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie, were also in court. Thaw's mother, who has been 111 at her home In Pittsburg, will soon be In New York. She has notified the prisoner that she will be here before the trial progresses very far. The newB cheered the prlspner great ly, for, with his mother 111 In Pitts burg and his sister, the Countess of Yarmouth, trying to free herself from her spendthrift husband, he has been gloomy. : By the opening of the afternoon session It Is expected taking of testi mony will begin.

Steaming two and two abreast, with the admiral on his flagship's bridge, 15,000 jackies lined against their deck rails, flags flying and salutes splitting ear drums with their cr-a-a -n g cr-a-a-n g cr-a-a-h g the American fleet, swept-into Rio har bor at ,u o'clock yesterday afternoon. The three thousand mile run from Trinidad had been accomplished with but one untoward event. When the fleet swerved around Cape Hoqiie and was beating down on tin- final leg of its imposing jour ney to tlie Horn, the currents began to "make up play things." "The day of the currents" was Thursday of last week. And that day the cur rents lost us 200 miles of headway, and carried us for the first time time from our course. There were head currents, lateral currents, slant currents, every current ever known to any seadog under those or any other name. We fought them that Thursday from Parahyba south to I'ernanibuco. Next day, of course, the fleet was sweeping on again finely, but the day of currents will be remembered by every, man jack of us to the end of this voyage and back. No American fleet since (he days f hey came back to us from their Spanish triumphs ever received a bigger ovation than we got in Rio harbor this day. Most of us did not know there were as liianv steam boats in tae sub-equatorial Atlantic as sailed out to greet us. Twenty miles north of the harbor mouth, while still 'we sailed south ward, a cruiser and two gunboats, flying tho. Brazilian flag, came out. tJ bring Brazil's Hist welcome to the visitors. As soon as they hove in sight, there opened up a deal of gunfire. which we answered sedatelv, never stopping in our steady sweep toward port, Tlie Brazilian vessels put about, and, ranging themselves along tiie flagship Connecticut came on witli us as escort. At the harbor mouth no less than a thousand color-streaming, gun banging smaller craft awaited us. They lined along the gateway, with high promontories looming up on either side, and their people made a pretty spectacle, going frantic in their enthusiasm at our coming. As we filed in slowly to the bay that makes the harbor they turned, too, and bore s company, waving American flags, shrieking their whis tles and yelling a Brazilian welcome at the top of all their lungs.
