An AcquIfEaI Is ExpRcted by Those Who Have Closely Watched inc Case From the Beginning, Hsnv Look for a Disagreement and Very Few Believe inc Senator VIII Be Convicted.

Philadelphia, April 20.-The case ot ex-United States Senator Quay was placed in the hands of the jury promptly at o'clock this afternools and no verdict being reached by 10 o'clock at night, the jury was locked up until morning. There was no intiN nation other than mere rumor as tc the attitude of the jury.
 The generally expressed opinion of those who have followed the trial since its beginning on Monday of last week is that the verdict will be m acquit- tai. Many, however, look for disa- greement. There are but few who ex press a belief that a verdict of guilty will be given. Today the proceedings were confinsd entirely to argument and speeches by the counsel.
 The defense today opened its part in the proceedings by moving that thc court withdraw the case from the jury and render verdict of "lot guilty In support of this motion David T. Watson made long argument Ha said that early in the trial the prose. cution presented an offer to produce evidence connecting M s. Quay with a conspiracy alleged to have been en- tered into with ex-Cashie- Hopkins of the Peoples bank and State Treasurer B. J. Haywood, for misuse of tho state funds deposited in the People'a bank. MT. Watson argued that the district attorney had utterly failed to prove it's case. The motion was de- nied and the defense deciding to pre- sent no testimony the arguments to the jury were begun at once

BEEF FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
A Company Gets an Order for 1,5OO, ,OOO
 Pounds.

Kansas City, April 2O.- The Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Packing company has closed contract with the United States government to sup ply million and half pounds of dressed beef to the troops in the Philippine islands. This is the larg- est single contract for dressed beef ever placed by the government. Fred erick Joseph, vice-president of the company, arrived in Kansas City yes terday to complete arrangements for the immediate shipment of the pro- duct and he says ne will take special pains to select the finest cattle obtain able in this section of the country to fill the order. He added:
 'The soldier boys will feel that they are nearer homs when they sit down to a square meal of genuine dressed beef from their native country"
 A large shipment has already been made and shipments will continue daily until the entire amount is de- livered to the United States supply steamship Glacier, which will take the beef to Manila. The officials of the packing company derive great satis- faction from the order, not alone be- cause of it's value and significance to the company in a business way, but they regard it also as compliment to Kansas City.

WAR PAY FOR THE TROOPS.
Law Officials Believe Soldiers al
 Maniil Are Entitled to It.

Washington, April 20.-The subject Of the 20 per cent add .onal pay aI- lowed enlisted men during a time og war has been discussed in the war department, and law officers in the department are e tho opinion that the troops in the Philippines will be enu.tled to the additional pay. While peace has been declared with Spain. it is contended by some thEi. a stlte of war practically exists in the Philip pines, because the fighting is carried on according to methods of war, such as the taking of prisoners and their treatment, Officially, however, it is merely an instruction, and is so rec ognized by foreign governments. Of course, whatever the controller of the treasury should hold in this connec- tion would be final, as he passes upon tha pay accounts of the army

ALATIN COMBINATION
Nay Grow Out of inc Naval refcS
 at CaaIiari.

London, April 2O.-Though i.he
 naval fetes at Cagliari, Sardinia, and
 the speech-making between King HumDert and the French admiral are not to be taken as seriously as the kindred Franco-Russian manifesto
 tions a few years ago at Kronstadt,
 they mark a second distinct token of
 change in the French foreign policy. A friendly understanding between the
 three Latin powers on the Mediterran-
 can, with FInnce the predominant
 partner, is the fixed idea of the French
 foreign office But while protection at home and colonial expansion in
 Africa were uppermosc, the idea was
 laid aside temporarily. The Fashoda episode brought it into active play again. The French government in it's extremity realized the comparative
 friendlessness of France. At the same time, the Russian government,
 similarly impressed, advised its ally to cultivate Spain and Italy. Frances good offices during the American war had alrsady prepared the way in Spain, and friendly advice and aid promise to continue during the re- organization of Spanish affairs and finance. The new policy, however, seeks more the conciliation of Italy than of exhausted Spain. Italy has close relations in quarters suspicious of France. Italy has naval power, also, and the Fashoda incident, to- gether with the American war, awak- ened France tOa sense of the weakness of the Latin powers on the sea. Italy is influential above all Tn the Medit- erranean. where France and Russia need friends. The first step in the conciliation of Italy was the swift agreement last autumn upon the Franco-Italian commercial treaty which mutual jealousies and rivalries had hindeyed for years. Smaller evil dences of friendly consideration for Italy followed lat Paris and St. Peters burg.
 Now comes the dispatch of the French fleet to Cagliari to exhibit the French naval power, and to shower attentions on the Italian king and people. The Italian government and press have taken this cultivation of friendship amicably, but without great ardor. In their outward responses to the new French advances they have kept it clear that Italy holds firmly to tho triple alliance, and a good under with England in the Med iterranean. The more friends Italy has the better, has been the Italian view. Nevertheless, Berlin and Lon don are showing some restiveness over the manifestations of Franco Italian good will. Sending the Eng Msh fleet to Sardinia and slightly anx- ious comment on events there are signs of this feeling. Probably Paris, | London and Berlin are all taking the SardIinian festivities too seriously, but | the friendly temper of Italy is espec- ially valuabb3 to France and Russia | in the Mediterranean.
