wood Arrested In Omaha.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 4.-W Warrants
were issued yesterday for the arrest OF
United States Senator Matthew Stanley
Quay, his son, Richard r. Quay. eI.
State Treasurer BENJAMIN J. 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 Peoples bank, to use public moneys
for their own use. Hopkins killed him.
self last March, shortly before the
hanks 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 Jerome held them in 5000
bail each for hearing ut noon next
Thursday. David H. Lane, the Repub-
lican leader became their bondsman
and they returned to the seashore. By
advice of their attorney they declined
to discuss the case. They will come
hack to the city ON Wednesday. SO as to
be in full time for the hearing. Mr..
Haywood is in Omaha and Mr.. Nc
Kee in New York.
James McManes, former president OF
the defunct Peoples bank, said he had
known the warrants were to be issued
although he had nothing to do with the
action. He asserted ignorance OF any
actions justifying it. Judge McManes
added:
''Senator Quay and his son Richard
both had their personal notes dis
counted at the bank, the last of which
matured after the bank closed its doors.
The notes were promptly paid when
due and neither Mr.. Quay or his son il
indebted to the bank one dollar that I
know of. My feelings toward Mr..
Quay and the other men are of the
most friendly character. Mr.. Quay and
I had our differences in days gone by,
but they were patched up long ago."
The news struck political circles OF
all shades of faith like a thunderbolt
and a variety Of explanations were
given and discussed throughout the
day. Secretary Of the Commonwealth
Davis said he knew nothing beyond the
newspaper statements. The affair &C
quires additional significance from the
fact that it comes in the midst of one Of
the most bitter campaigns ever fought
between Quay and his opponents. in
volving the question Of his reelection
to the senate. The Peoples bank sus-
pended business March IA, last, and it
developed that Cashier Hopkins had
committed suicide. At this time the

No voter should allow himself to be
cajoled into voting the populist ticket
this fall on the plea that their party is
saving the state thousands OF dollars by
their superior management Of the pub
lie funde. No more flimsy plea for pub
lie support was ever made than this.
There is not a single department where
populist officials are conducting the at
fairs OF the Offices cheaper than the re-
publican predecessors. Wolfe, the COM
missioner Of public lands and buildings,
really lost the state thousands OF dol
lars by cancelling the school land leases
OF poor people just at period when
better times were coming and they
could have paid up. As to the school
apportionment they had no more to
do with the increase in that than some
man in Africa did. Good crops, better
prices and better times enabled people
to pay up on school lands and other
taxes. This increased the school fund
and no pop in the state deserves an iota
OF credit for it. Their small appropri-
atiOns for the maintenance OF the vari
Gus state institutions il about exhausted
and the next session OF the legislature
will be called upon to supply the de-
ficieocy. thus making the cost OF rum
ming these institutions really more than
nnder republican management. No
reason exists Why such officials should
receive the support Of the voters this
fall, except. it he for the noise they are
making, and there are very few who are
being deceived that way now. The vote
that will be cast for the republican state
ticket this fall will be larger than most
people imagine.-Schuyler Sun.

General Wyman of the Marine Hospi-

Treasury Spalding had a conference
concerning the yellow fever in the
South, with special reference to the
appeal of the Governor of Mississippi
for aid. It was decided that the Gov
ernment could not undertake to extend
aid in the form of subsistence and
nurses to individual families in which
there were cases of fever. In the de-
tention camps, however, physicians,
nurses and supplies will continue to be
supplied by the Government authori-
ties as a measure to prevent the spread
of the disease. Guards will be fur
nished for the same purpose. Physl-
clans of the Marine Hospital Service
are under instructions to do all in their
power for people suffering from the

Criticise the Authorities in a Way

TROOPS IN SANTIAGO.
Not More Than Ten Per Cent. Now
on the Sick List.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. ]
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Sept. 2S.-
The health of the United States troops
now in the province of Santiago has
considerably improved. not more than
10 per cent. now being on the sick list.
Most of the cases of indisposition are
merely light malarial fevers. Yellow
fever has been practically stamped out
of the city by the systematic cleaning
process put in operation.
For several weeks Major Barber, who
is at the head of the street cleaning
department, has had 500 men engaged
in carrying away the filth of genera
tions, which is burned at one or an
other of the crematories. General Wood
has shown wonderful executive ability.
General Lawton is we'll satisfied with
the soldierly qualities displayed by his
men since they have been here, and all
reports from either place in the pro-
vince as to the behavior of the Ameri-
can troops are equally satisfactory.
That there has been very little
drunkenness, when one remembers that,
as a soldier tersely puts it, Drink is
cheap and you are always thirsty is
remarkable.
General Wood advises investors not
TO come to Cuba if they intend their
investments to take the form of land
purchases. as the records and archives
have been left in a shocking state by
the Spanish authorities. A man with
little capital would do we'll here with
a steam laundry, an American bakery
or a small store with good groceries.
Next month. October, is the last OF
the rainy season here. With November
comes fine weather, with cool winds and
good health.
The death rate in Santiago has de-
creased sixfold from August, though, as
. rule. the end of September shows
heavy mortality.
