SENATOR QUAY ARRESTED
ALSO SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE
 POLITICIANS GANG.

-The Quays Surrendered Themselves.
 Philadelphia, Oct. 3.-Warrants were issued to-day for the arrest of U. S. Senator Matthew S. Quay, his son, Richard Quay, eX-State Treasurer Benjamin Haywood, and Charles H. Mckee of Pittsburg, law partner of Lieutenant Governor Lyon. They are accused of conspiracy, with John S.
 Hopkins, formerly cashier of the Peo- ple's bank to use public moneys for their own use. Hopkins killed him. self last March, shortly before the banks failure. Senator Quay and his
 son came up from Atlantic City as soon as they heard of their intended arrest. They promptly surrendered
 themselves and Magistrate Jermon
 held them in $5,OOO bail each for
 hearing at noop next Thursday. Da-
 vid H. Lane, the republican leader,
 became their bondsman, and this af-
 ternoon they returned to the seashore.
 By advice of their attorney they de-
 clined to discuss the case They will
 come back to the city on Wednesday.
 MT. Haywood is in Montana and MT. Mckee in New York.
 United States Senator Penrose, who was with his colleague this afternoon, spoke freely after the latter's depart-
 ure for Atlantic City. II presume
 Senator Quay will not make any state ment at this juncture," said he, re
 garding this last dastardly attack of
 his enemies, though he doubtless will in the proper way and at the proper
 time. There is, however, no reason why I, as his colleague and personal friend, should be silent. Attempted
 assassination of character has been al-
 most the sole weapon of attack en- ployed by Senator Quay's opponents for several years, and the methods pursued have been augmented in viz
 ciousness and vindictiveness as their futility has been determined. As the last despairing effort of unscrupulous conspiritors, comes this brutal move of the opposition which they had upon
 their programme for weeks, with the desperate hope that it might, in some way, aid in the election of a demo-
 cratic legislature. The people of Penn sylvania are above all things else fair and just and they can be trusted
 to see through the sinister motives ani-
 mating the small coterie of disgruntled defeated politicians who are responsi-
 ble for this sensational resort to the courts In due time there will be a
 complete exposure of the nature of this last attack"
 The warrants were made out on Sat
 stance of District Attorney Graham
 and on the affidavit of Charles F.
 Myers of the district attorneys office. Myers is a detective and acted upon in- formation furnished by Thomas Bar low, receiver of the Peoples bank. The
 affidavit is as follows:
 State of Pennsylvania, city and county of Philadelphia, ss.:
 Charles F. Myers, being sworn ac- cording to law, doth depose and say
 that Matthew Stanley Quay, Benjamin J. Haywood, Richard R. Quay and Charles H. Mckee, and other persons to this deponent unknown, did unlaw- fully combine confederate, conspire and agree to and with each other and the
 said persons unknown to use the public
 moneys of the commonwealth of Penn sylvania for their own use, and also did
 combine, confederate, conspire and
 agree to and with each other and di-
 vers persons to this deponent unknown,
 and to and with John S. Hopkins, de- ceased, formerly cashier of the Peo-
 ple's bank of Philadelphia a corpora tion duly credited and existing under the laws of the commonwealth of Penn sylvania, to unlawfully buy and sell stocks, that is, shares of stock in divers corporations, and did unlawfully use and employ the moneys of the Peoples
 bank within the county of Philadelphia
 and within two years last past. All of
 which depenent, upon information and
 belief, says is true. And further depon-
 ent saith not Charles E. Myers.
 Sworn to and subscribed before me,
 this 30th day of September, A. D., 1898. J. M. Rush Jermon, Magistrate. District Attorney Graham said that lTOIH GNlutllCt' IllS ollopC oL AS1tSio and papers furnished to him he be- lieved it his duty to begin proceedings.
 He said: q propose to have hearing
 as quickly as possible and to produce at that hearing all the facts necessary to a bonding over. Some of the facts will be reserved until the time of trial. If the state of affairs as represented to
 me is true, it ought to be exposed. This
 rottenness ought to be shown up mo matter upon whom it reflects. It is not
 my practice to speak in advance of the trial of a case and I will say nothing further as to it's merits. It was first
 brought to my knowledge on Friday.
 Although MT. Barlow is assistant dis
 trict attorney, none of these facts was given me by him. He always kept his
 duties as received entirely separate
 from his duties in this office. When
 sent for in connection with evidence we sought he cheerfully and willingly de- livered up what was in his possession" MT. Graham expressed a firm determin-
 ation to proceed vigorously.
 James McManes, formerly president of the defunct Peoples bank, said he had known the warrants were to be is- sued, although he had nothing to do
 with the action. He asserted ignorance of any transactions justifying it. Mr.
 McManes added: Senator Quay and his son Richard both had their per.-
