Harrisburg. Pa. Feb. 2S.-The post
punement OF the trial OF Senator Quay
created a sensation among the legis-
Iators and politicians at Harrisburg,
Capt. James Clark. who is in charge at

outrage. He claims Senator Quay was
ready and anxious to go ahead With
the trial. and that his friends had eff
cry assurance that he would be Ac-
quilted.
SenatoFMeredith, a strCng Quay man,
says the postponement means the cleo
ton of Senator Quay this week. Sen
ator McCarrell. another Cuayite. is GER
tain his jury bill will become a law be-
fore the time fixed for the trial.
Capt. Vim. Hiassen. M of the house

trict Attorney HotherlanG had good
| reason to ask that the case go over
and says the postponement will havt
