He was admitted to the bar in the same year and until he entered pub lie life as a member of the Fifty-sec- ond congress from the First Ohio dis trict gave his time to the pursuit of his profession.

 The subject of the method of paying the s20, 900. 900 due to Spain under the treaty was discussed at yesterday $ cabinet meeting, and 1t was decided to pay the amount by draft on New York to be delivered to whoever the Spanish government authorizes to receive 1t.

 Volunteers to Be Mustered out.
 Law officers of the government are discussing. in the light of the presi- dents proclamation announcing the conclusion of peace. the question of mastering out the volunteer army. It Is agreed that the law will be construed to mean that the muster out of the troops shall be upon orders of the ex- ecutive and that necessarily there must be a delay of a month or so in the dis charge of the volunteers.
 Tn accordance with the precedent es- tablished at the close of the civil war. a few of the volunteer organizations may be retained in the service for some time. although those who desire to return home will be permitted to do so.
 The law authorities hold that in order that the volunteers in the Philippines may remain in the service in accord ance with the provisions of the army law passed by the last congress they must re-enlist not as organizations, but as individuals. The organizations and the individuals who choose to go with them must be mustered out in this country. Those individual volunteers who re-enlist In the Philippines will re- ceive not only the two months extra pay provided for on their discharge from the army, but also travel pay from this country to the Philippines and re- turn, amounting to about $500. The war officials have decided that 1t would be more desirable to take a trained soldier in the Philippines than to send that soldier home and return a raw recruit.
 If the applications for discharges are any criterion, 1t Is evident that the vol unteers in the Philippines are not snx- ious to remain and will take advantage of the law to demand their muster out. The effect of the proclamation declaring peace will be felt by the enlisted men in the regular army to the extent of re- duction of 20 per cent in pay.

 Volunteers Must Now Be Mustered
 out-Inducements to Re-enii.t.
 Washington, April 12.-The condition of war which has existed between the United States and Spain since April 21. 1898, terminated yesterday. when the last formalities in the restoration of peace were performed by the exchange of notifications of the peace treaty. Co., incident with this President Mckinley issued a proclamation declaring that the war was at an end. and the ap- pointment of Bellamy Storer was de- tsrmined upon as United States minis ter to Spain.

 The Spanish copy of the treaty has been deposited in the archives of the state department. M. Cambon has ca- bled the Spanish government of the final restoration of peace and made known that the American copy of the treaty would be forwarded through the French foreign office.
 The effect of the action taken is to completely renew the peaceful relations. trade, official. diplomatic, consular and in all other ways, between this country and Spain.
 The selection of Bellamy Storer for the Madrid mission Is a distinct promo tion in the diplomatic line.

THE QUAY TRIAL.
Defense Trying to Prevent Introduo-
 ton of Banks Books.

Defense Trying to Prevent Introduc- tion of Banks Books. Philadelphia, April 12.-In the trial of ex-Senator Quay yesterday his lawyers began what is regarded as the all im- portant contention in their light for his acQuittal, that the books of the broken Peoples bank are not competent testi- mony against the accused man and therefore should not be admitted in sv- idence. On the decision of this point rests the entire fabric of the prosecu- tion's case. Should Judge Riddle decide the point we'll taken the common wealth's case will necessarily collapse. Attorney Watson contended that the fact that hank clerks with no personal knowledge of the truth of what they were writing entered certain figures in . book, which figures purported to rep resent interest paid to Senator Quay, was no proof that the money had been received by him or that there had been any intention to pay 1t to him. This ar-
 gument is in line with the defense's con- tention that Mir. Quay was the victim of Hopkins, who used the senator's name to cover up his own illegal transactions,
 MT. Watson also attacked the indict-
 ment, declaring it to be fatally de- fective.
 Previous to the presentation of the bank books by District Attorney Roth- ermel the examination of Receiver Bar low was concluded and ex-Judge James Gay Gordon, who, the adherents of Sen ator Quay declare, is responsible foi what they term the conspiracy against their favorite, gave testimony in cor roboration and explanation of Mir. Bar lows statement.

He was. he said, never able to learn who his mysterious friend was. The fact was gleaned from Mir. Barlow that the bank books and letters were practically in the control of Judge Cor don from April until September of last year. He considered this proper. as Judge Gordon was the confidential ad- ~isss af Rrasldept McManes of the bank

FOUR MEN KILLED.
Twenty More Injured by Harlem
 Bridge Accident.

Bridge Accident.
 New York. April 12.-The temporary superstructure of the largest bridge in- tended to span the Harlem river and join First avenue with Willis avenue. In the annexed district, toppled into the river yesterday. Four men were in stantly killed. crushed almost beyond recognition. Twenty men were more or less injured. Eight of them were taken in ambulances to the Harlem hospital. and the physicians believe four of these may not recover. Others were able to go to their homes after their injuries were dressed by physicians from the Harlem, Fordham and J. Hood Wright hospitals.
 About 40 men went down with the falling timbers, and many of them were brought ashore unconscious by persons who put out In boats to rescue them. The river Is about 40 feet deep at that point. and the swift tide. which was al- most flood at the time of the collapse, Is as treacherous as it is at Hell Gate. The work of rescue was exceedingly diff fcult, and only for the promptness with which men in boats put out from the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad freight yards. which the bridge is intended to span beyond the river and from the New York side of the river many more would have perished.

Ninety-three Natives Kned In the

 the Town-Treachery of the Fill
 pinss-Dispstch From otis.
 Manila. April RIA large force of in- surgents from the eastern foothills made an attack yesterday upon the Thirteenth Minnesota infantry. which was guarding the railroad in the vicin- ity of Bocave, and the fighting soon be- came general between Marllao and Gui- Guinto. General Wheaton came down from Malolos with re-enforcements as soon as possible. and an armed railway train was also brought into reouisition, with the result that the rebels were routed and put to flight.
 The losses of the enemy in killed and wounded are estimated at over 50. The losses of the Americans were three kill ed and Is wounded.
 Previous to the insurgents attack the telegraph wires had been cut by nom combatant Filipinos pretending to be friendly. and this considerably hamper ed the Americans in communicating with Malolos for re-enforcements.
 It is supposed that many of the rebels were natives who entered that region in the guise of frisndlies. They had seemingly secreted arms in several places and fired on the Americans from the bushes at so close a range that they could be heard talking. One of the Ffl- ipinos yelled in English:
 we will give you d-d Americans enough of this before we are through"
 The rebels undermined the railroad at Marilao and unspiked the rails in an A sNm mll road gang~participated in the light. The work of the rebels was discovered and repaired before a train arrived.
 General Wheaton Is preparing to pun ish the Filipinos. The military sunboats Napidan and Laguna de Bay have sue ceeded in entering the Santa Cruz river and have captured a small unsrmed Spanish gunboat and three launches which they discovered there.
 Lswton Captures santa Crus.
 General Lawton. with 1,500 men, crossed Laguna de Bay Saturday night, escorted by three army sunboats, and on Sunday afternoon captured the town of Santa Cruz after hard fighting.
 General Lawton is continuing his ad- vance on the rebels beyond Santa Cruz. The total number of the enemy driven from the town is estimated at 1000. They lost 150 killed and wounded in the attack on Santa Cruz. Among their dead is Commandante Pablo Aguirre.
 The military gunboat Osste has brought s2 rebel wounded, one dead Fill ipino and six Americans to the hospital. It is now known that ss insurgents were killed during the capture of Santa Cruz.
 Santa Cruz is the capital of the prov ince of Laguna and has a population of lS,000 persons. It is only a short jour ney over the Bay lagoon. a fresh water sea which comes almost up to Manila Itself. Santa Cruz apparently is an opening wedge for the country beyond.

Spray Early In Spring.

1.-The first spraying should be done early in the spring. before the buds open. and it must be done thoroughly. The second should be done after the trees are through blossoming, while the third may come IS to 20 days later. The fourth spraying is due about three weeks later. A tree is sufficiently sprayed when the drops of the mixture are seen hanging from the branches and leaves. Many orchard trees besides spraying need a thorough scraping, as in the case of the elm trees Then the brush and other waste matter. includ- ing all dead leaves and rubbish. must be removed from the grounds and burned. Do not leave it near the trees or in the roadway. for the eggs deposit ed therein will hatch in the spring If there are dead trees or badly diseased ones here and there in the orchard. cut them down and burn them. says an Orange Judd Farmer correspondent.
