WILL HASTEN RATIFICATION.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 11.-(Special.)
The declaration of Senator Foraker in
his strong speech to-day that President
Mex 'nley ioes not favor the permanent
retention of the Philippines or the an
ncsation of these islands as part of the
,err tory of the United States. has ere
ate,l great deal of discussion here, as 1t
is generally assumed the Ohio Senator
would not have made such a declaration
;f he had not been authorized to do so.
This is taken as the first distinct state
ment of the Presidents position. and the
general belief is that it will have the
effect Of Fastening the ratification Of
the peace treaty as it takes down the
main straw at which the opponents of
the treaty have been hitting.

THE QUAY CONSPIRACY CASE.
Supreme Court Dismissfs-Api ';ca;;cn
for Writ of Certiorari.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 10-The Su-
preme Court to-day in an opinion hand
ed down by Chief Justice Sterrett dis
missed the application in the Quay con-
spiracy case for writ of certiorari and
placed the costs on the petitioners. The
petition of the defendants, United States
Senator NJ. S. Quay, r. Il. Quay and
Benz. j. Haywood, averred that on ac-
count of political prejudices they were
of belief that they could not obtain a
fair and impartial trial in the Philadel-
phia court of Quarter Sessions where the
suit against them was instituted.
AS to the claim that the lower court will
not give a fair trial, Judge Street says;
I'VE cannot assent to this proposition.
On the contrary, we are satisfied that
the petitioners can and VIII have a lair
and impartial trial in that court before
a competent and unprejudiced judge and
fair and impartialsjury. If we thought
otherwise, we would not hesitate a mo-
ment to send the indictments to another
jurisdiction for trial.
