QUAY UNDER A CLOUD
Cannot Be Reelected Until He Is
Acquitted.
OPPOSITION ORGANIZED
DECLARE QUAY'S INNOCENCE
MUST BE ESTABLISHED.
Opponents of the Senator Declare
They Can Never Vote For a Man
Who Is Under Indictment For a
Criminal ofense-Quay Response
BILE For Delay.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan 4.-The Repub-
hcan senators and members who signed
the pledge not to take part in last
nights senatorial caucus organized to-
day to keep up the fight against Sen
ator Quay until after the supreme court
has disposed of the Peoples bank con-
spiracy case. The meeting was at
tended by nearly all the signers and
two others who did not sign, but kept
away from the caucus. committee
was appointed to take charge of the
work of organization. The committee
issued an address, in which they state:
In our present attitude we are
prompted by what we believe to be the
best interest of our party and state.
We believe that Republican senator
should and will be elected, and that no
combination of circumstances can pre-
vent it. We believe that the unques-
toned sentiment of the Republicans Of
the commonwealth is against taking
action that might result in the election
of a person as United States senator
who is charged with crime before his
innocence is established in a court of
justice, and that the failure to deter
mine that question prior to this time is
due to the act of the alleged caucus
nominee in delaying trial, and not to
any act of ours. We feel that in JUS
tice to the public and our own sense of
self-respect and duty we are justified in
refusing to be committed to any prop
osition that might cast stigma upon
our commonwealth and our own integ
rity as citizens and legislators.
Feeling that we are sustained in our
position by the unbiased sentiment of
the state, we deem it unwise to vote for
any person for United States senator
who is duly charged with crime, SO
long as these charges remain undeter-
mined. We cannot justify ourselves for
voting for any person for office who is
indicted for criminal offense, and who
simply alleges that he is the victim of
a political conspiracy. We believe that
the public. as we'll as ourselves, is not
interested in the motives of the per-
son who makes the charges, but rather
in the truth or the falsity Of these
charges.
Entertaining these views. we sub
NIT our action to the unprecedented
Judgment of our fellOW-citiZenS'

Native Beef Caused tine Sickness In
Puerto Rico.
"EMBALMED" MEAT GOOD
VOLUNTEER MAJOR WHO KNOWS
ALL ABOUT IT.
Declares the Beef Killed In Puerto
Rico Caused Ten Per Cent In
crease In Sickness-No Chemicals
Used On Refrigerated Beef-Effect
of Hot Weather.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Major Hopkins,
military aide to the secretary of war,
testified before the war investigating
commission regarding sanitary condi-
tions at the camps at Tampa, Camp
Alger and Camp Thomas. 1t was the
old question of sinks, drainage and
camp police, and the testimony of the
witness was little different from pre-
ceding witnesses.
Major Harrison, Ninth volunteer in
fantry, whose regiment was raised near
New Orleans and is now in service at
Santiago, was next called.
Concerning commissary stores, he
said those in the United States were
the best that could be bought in the
open market. The refrigerated beef sent
from this country, he said, was excel
lent He had had much experience with
refrigerated meats, and he said that,
while there was some disposition on the
part of the regimental cooks TO cavll al
the appearance of the meat, it was in
reality quite good He explained that
the sudden change of temperature on
removing the meat from the refrlgera-
tor ships produced what is known as a
beard" a greenish growth, that had
to be scraped off. When this was done
the meat beneath was perfectly good.
1t was issued to the men with excel
lent results, and benefited the sick ma
terially. The chief trouble came when
the change was made to hOof cattle
sent from Puerto Rico. This beef Ma
jor Harrison killed himself and person
ally superintended its dressing and
cooling.
But it would not cool in that CHI
mate he said very emphatically. The
meat never lost it's animal heat, and
with it's use our sickness increased 10
per cent In a country where our dead
purified in six hours. you will easily
understand that meat killed and ex-
posed to the atmospheric changes, with
the attacks of flies, will spoil much
sooner. Our board of. survey had no
work to do except condemning and
burning this local killed beef"
Of the canned beef Major Harrison
spoke with equal emphasis, saying 1T
was fully as good as the refrigerator
beef and that none of it had to be con-
demned
Witness said he was thoroughly IA
miliar with the processes of refriger-
ating and butchering meat, and he was
willing to state positively that there
were no chemicals used in any of the
beef that passed under his observation.
On the contrary, he said that there was
no chemical preparation that could be
used on the meat with advantage TO
the packers and without running the
product before they could get 1t TO the
army. He regarded it as highly i'm
probable that anything of the sort had
been attempted.

California Governor Favors Expan-
sion and an Appropriation.


sion and an Appropriation.
Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 4.-The inaug-
uration of Governor elect Gage took
place today and was attended with
considerable pomp and ceremony. Gov
ernor-elect Gage and retiring Governor
Budd, seated in carriage drawn by
six white horses, were escorted from
their hotel by a military escort con-
sisting of companies of naval militia,
regular militia and infantry. The pa
rade marched to the capitol, where
Governor Gage delivered his first adj
dress. He approved of the expansion
idea, and also of the Paris exposition,
but left the matter of an exhibit in the
hands of the legislature, with the rec

made sufficient to warrant an exhibit

SPANIARDS PLEAD NOT GUILTY
PHILIPPINE CRISIS DUE TC
M'KINLEY'S IGNORANCE.
Insurgents Masters of Almost the
Entire Archipelago and Are Tor
turing Spanish Prisoners.

Madrid, Jan. 4.-The statement that the
Spanish have evacuated noilo in order
to render the situation a difficult one for
the Americans is denied here. 1t is said
here that the Spanish government, imme-
diately after the signing of the treaty OF
peace, ordered the Philippines to be
evacuated as quickly as possible, in order
to avoid further bloodshed and TO con-
form with the expressed wish OF the
Americans, who were very eXacting, es-
pecially in the case of Cuba.
An interview with an eX-prefect OF
province of the Philippines is published
here, in the course Of which he is quoted
as saying:
President Mckinley has shown COM
plete ignorance of the situation in the
Philippines. When the Americans occu-
gent provinces. The Americans encour-
aged the revolution and now they them
selves are the victims of the support
which they gave the insurgents, who
have become masters of the entire archi-
pelago, except Mindanao, where the ma
tiVeS, who are MusSulmans, refuse to
recognize American rule, although they
have not revOlted.
Aguinaldo's unpopularity is due to his
friendship for the Americans. His treat
ment OF Spanish prisoners has been hor-
rible. Monks have been marched through
the streets led by cords attached to rings
through their noses, and others have been
employed literally as beasts of burden. A
thousand have died of ill-treatment.

of Discussion-Jerry Simpson and
J. Hamilton Lewis Attended.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The house spent
today considering the bill to define and
punish crimes in Alaska, and provide a
code of criminal procedure for the ter
ritory. Sixty pages were COM
pleted today, and the bill was made a
continuing order until disposed of, not,
however, to interfere with aDDropria-
ton bills or other special orders.
There were less than 100 members on
the floor when the house met. but the
attendance in the gallery was large.
Mr.. Simpson (Pop., Kan.) and Mr..
Lewis Dem., Wash.) appeared in their
places for the first time this session.

PEACE TREATY REACHES SENATE
NO QUESTION ABOUT ITS RATI-
FICATION.
Senator Gray's Missionary Work
Among His Colleagues Some
Speeches In Opposition.

Washington, Jan. 4.-When the senate
went into executive session today. the
peace treaty, which had just been re-
ceived from the president. was laid be-
fore the senate by Senator Frye. who
occupied the chair in the absence Of the
vice president. The treaty was not
read, but the presidents message ac-
companying it was. This was a simple
letter of tranSmittal, without any word
of recommendation or suggestion, and
was only a few lines in length.
On motion Of Senator Davis. the
treaty was referred to the committee
on foreign relations, and ordered print
co for the use of the senate. No order
was made looking to making the treaty
public, but it is understood that this
will be done after the treaty is passed
Upon by the committee.
Senator Davis entered a motion today
TO make the treaty and the proceedings
of the commission public, but, upon the
suggestion Of Senator Allison. he with
drew that motion for the purpose OF
allowing the committee to act on it. A
meeting of the committee on foreign re-
lations has been called for Friday, and
if is probable that the committee Will
chen bring in a. resolution for the pub
LEGATION of both treaty and proceedings.
The presentation of the peace treaty
aroused considerable discussion among
the senators as to its probable ratifi-
cation, and the impression to be gained
from what senators say is that the
treaty will no doubt be ratified. Sena-
tor Gray. q. member of the commission,
has been discussing the situation with
Democratic senator's who were averse
TO acquisition Of the Philippines. and
who are opposed to some other features
Of the treaty. He told them that amend
rnents to the treaty would seriously
complicate matters. and that there was
nothing now to do but accept the treaty
as il stood.
senator Gray will no doubt make a
speech from the standpoint Of a man
who was in the first instance, opposed
to acquiring territory far from the
United States, but showing that the
yar left the country in a condition
where the responsibilities were not to
be avoided It is understood that Sen
ator I4oar and Senator Gallery viii
make extended speeches in opposition
TO the treaty.
