AGAINST SENATO OR QUAY.
Judge Biddle Admits tho .4Red Book In
Evidences.

Evidence.
PHILADELPHIA, April Is. After an
argument at some length by the oppos-
ing attorneys IN the Quay case, Judge
Biddle formally admitted the now IA
nous red book as evidence. Later he
also admitted the blue book and the
black book. Z Judge. Biddle, il admit
ting the red book said
When the question originally arose
in this case in reference to this particu-
lar book, / did not think the district
attorney had sufficiently established
the proof that it was a bank book. TIE
question now comes in an entirely diff
ferent capacity. It seems TO me that an
expert could tell, better than anyone
else, what books are necessary to carry
out the system in vogue at that bank.
He swore most positively that this
book is a book of the bank. Up to a
certain date he said the books were kept
in a certain way. and the accounts COM
pared in the ledger. He followed this
up with the statement that entries for.
merly made in the ledger were now in
this book.
The gentleman who kept this book
was cashier and to use the words Of the
assistant cashier, he was the whole
bank. The question is not whether the
contents Of this book are material OF
immaterial, but whether it is book of
the bank. The expert positively swears
it is a book Of the bank, and under
those circumstances, it is admitted, as
he knows more about it than I do. e

IGNORE THE RAINY SEASON.
General Otis Declares There
Will Be No Cessation
Of Hostilities.
Disposed to Take a Cheerful
View Of the Present Sit
uation There.

MANILA, April 1S.During the alb
sence Of Major General Lawton's ex-
petition to the Santa Cruz district, on
the southeastern side Of Laguna de Bay,
the insurgents have been concentrating
at the northern end Of the lake, near
Pasig, and the American scouts report
that several thousand are already there.
Two hundred and fifty Cinnamon
from Santa Cruz have arrived here.
They left the town owing to their fear
that the rebels on re-entering it would
wreak vengence upon them for favoring
the Americans.
Lawton Returns to Manila.
Major General Lawton's expedition
to the Laguna de Bay district, re-em-
barked Sunday evening, anchored fol
the nightsat the head Of the Pasig river
and reached Manila Monday morning,
bringing all the men and the captured
insurgents boats. Its objects, namely
the capture Of the insurgents boats and
the distribution of the proclamation
throughout the lake region, have been
attained.
General Lawton Immediately began
preparations for an important expedi-
ton on land. There has been no fight
ing on the lake for three days.
General Otis Is Cheerful.
General Otis regards the situation
here cheerfully, and feels that with the
work already done and that which he
expects certainly to accomplish, the
rebels will eventually be subdued for
ever. He said:
THE insurgents are moving eastward,
and will soon be in the mountains.
There they will become merely bands
of robbers and they will fight among
themselves.
I'VE shall not stop our operations be-
cause of the rainy season. The rebels
are counting upon cessation Of hos
tilities on our part, but we intend to
keep right on

New YORK. April 18.-Mr. Never.
the partner of Richard Croker, was the
first witness of Importance in the
Mazet investigation.
Mr.. Meyer replied to questions re-
garding his real estate auction business
but impaired no information regarding
his judicial sales additional to what
was already brought out. He did not,
he said, take Mr.. Croker into partner
ship to get the benefit of the latter's
reputation and influence, but ito get
satisfaction out of certain party that
had little grudge against"
Mr.. Meyer admitted that Mr.. Croker
had him appointed" to the dock board
but corrected himself by saying he was
appointed by Mayor Van Wyck.
He had bought stock of the CONSOLE
dated Ice company, while member Of
the dock board, but refused to go into
details regarding that transaction on
the ground that it was his private bust
ness. There were several sharp pas
sages between Mr.. Moss and Mr.. Meyer,

Mr.. Meyer was excused and Mr..
Croker was called to the witness stand.
Mr.. Moss recalled the assertion made
Mr.. Croker that if it should be proven
that he had ever received any dishonest
money from the city, he would allow his
right arm to be cut off.
''Are you willing to make the PROPOSE
ton that if dishonorable money or dis
honorable transactions are laid at your
door, you will part with your fortune
and part with your liberty?' asked Mr..
Moss.

''That is more to the point and more
to the purpose replied Mr.. Moss.
Mr.. Croker declined to talk regarding
his financial circumstances, when he re-
turned from Europe in 1897. twas, he
said, his personal affairs. The same
reason was given for refusing tc answer
the question If he had given his son
Frank $4,000 to go into the Roebling
Construction company.
While my son has been in the Roeb-
ling company" Mr.. Croker added, sit

committee at all"

Mr.. Croker said, holly, ssand find out
what his boys are in, if you want to be
honest. You go and examine the people
who brought you here to examine US.
That is the gentle Plattt-who
puts you here to examine us. You go
and examine his firm. They are at the
foundation Of all the corruption in this
city. I say that there is more corrup-
tion in that firm than anywhere else.
You go and examine that firm, now, to
be fair, and bring their books here
Mr.. Moss said the matter Mr.. Croker
had spoken Of was in no way concerned
with the local government.
You make that matter in any way
pertinent to this inquiry and I will ex-
anime into it, /" said the lawyer.
Mr.. Croker continued to declaim
against the Platt influence and the
Platt firm, which latter, he said, was to.

Marie's listening face grew strange

thoughtfully upon the ground. Sud-
denly she raised them again, the
brightness flashing like sunshine from

delight shone from the black child's
features, TRANSPORTING them to some
semblance of the inner beauty. Almost
involuntarily the small, dusky arms

themselves together, and the children

The chlld's fingers were so busy
with the blossoms that she did not
notice the slow approach of lightfoot-
steps which hesitated and advanced
by turns.
Suddenly, at the rustling of an
eddy of brown last-year's leaves, she
locked up to see another child stand
ing a little apart and gazing at her
with eager, wistful eyes. The face of
the newcomer was jet-black, the
clustering wool had been drawn
tightly from her low forehead and
tied in tiny braids with bits of bright
ribbon, and her bare, dark feet and
ankles showed below the skirt of her
coarse blue stuff gown.

1t is, perhaps, a quarter of a CEN
fury since the closely woven sod has
been cut by the sexton's spade, ex-'
cept, at rare intervals, to give room to
some belated wanderer, who, leaving
no kindred behind him, has been fain
to creep to the silent companionship
of his ancestral graves. One may
stray at will, fearless of intruding
upon the expression of some private
grief. Those who lie there have
been so long gone that, to the young
even of their own blood, they have be-
come scarcely more than names, and
if there still survive some contempor-
aries who loved them, the point of
view of these has so shifted with
the passing years that the sad,
backward gaze of the mourner has be-
come the hopeful onlook of the watch
err for an immortal morning. Only
for the babe, dead it may be, a hun
bred years, must the eye sometimes
fill with gentle moisture as Ii Won
ders how angelic ministry a have
quite compensated for the loss of the
bitter-sweet of human love and pain!
It was the morning of the thirtieth
of May, 1879. Here and there in
the old graveyard, tiny flags had been
planted, each marking the lasttenting-
place of some veteran soldier whose
memory was to be publicly honored
by the ceremonials of the afternoon.
Upon one of the mounds thus desig-
mated was standing a fair little girl
dressed in white. Her eyes were

rellow hair fell about her shoulders,
