Appoints Him United States Senator.

Verdict of Not Guilty-Governor Stone
Appoints Him United States Senator.
Philadelphia, Pa. April 24.-Mat-
thew Stanley Quay was today declared
by jury to be not guilty of tho charge
of conspiracy to use for his own unlaw-
full profit funds of the state deposited
in the Peoples bank OF this city.
The court officers were unable to
keep back the struggling crowd that
pressed forward to congratulate Quay,
when the verdict OF the jury was an
nounced. AS soon as Quay could get
away from those anxious to shake his
hand and congratulate him, he made
his way to the elevator to descend to
the street from the sixth floor of the
municipal building. Here the seen es
just enacted in the courtroom were re-
peated. Enthusiasts rushed forward
and attempted to hoist him on their
shoulders, but he waved them back,
saying "Oh. no; Pm too old man for
that.
Quay walked with his friends to the
office of his counsel, where he made
his escape from the crowd.
Harrisburg, Pa, April Shortly
after noon Governor Stone appointed
Matthew Stanley Quay as senator to
serve until the next session of the legis-
lature.
The appointment is addressed to the
president OF the United States, and it
is stated in the letter to be made under

directly to Washington and laid his COM
plant before the Secretary of State, who
directed that a copy thereof be forwarded
to Mr.. Hunter for full investigation and
report The Department of State is now in
receipt of Mr.. Hunters dispatch giving the
result of his investigation. The statements
furnished are affidavits by persons mainly
in the employ of the Guatemalan govern
ment.
Mr.. Richards, who is at present in Wash
ington. has filed a strong counter statement
with the Secretary of State, in view of
which Mr.. Hunter has been directed to
personally visit Zacapa and make a full
and complete investigation in order that
the Department of State may definitely de-
termine it's future course in regard to Mr..
Richards complaint.
The merits of his case cannot be deter
mined until the Department of State is in
possession of such report and not an ex-
parte one While the government of the
United States does not question the author
ity of a foreign government to expel from
its shores undesirable or dangerous per-
sons, since this authority is the interna-
tional right of every government, yet 1t is
felt the arbitrary of such power may
sometimes do incalculable harm and work
an undeserVed injury.

in '96 to about 5000, 600. The goods sold in
Porto Rico by Spain were such as could
be supplied from this country under free
commerce at great advantage. They con-
sisted of glass and earthenware firearms,
oils. chemicals, soap, wax, perfumery, cot
ton manufactures, Woolen manufactures,
silk manufactures, paper, books, wood man
ufactures, leather and leather manufac-
lures, machinery, -four, butter preserved
foods, playing cards, hats and a considera-
Bile number Of other articles of general
manufacture.
AS an offset to this the exports from
Porto Rico to Spain amounted to more
than about $3,000000 composed chiefly of
things which could not be regarded as COM
peting with products of the United States
If admitted to this country free.
The Volume of Trade in '96.
According to the government statistics,
with the volume of trade as it was in 90,
the balance sheet between this country and
Porto Rico. under free trade would stand
about thus:
American exports to Porto Rico. $1,000
OOo plus Spanish exports which would be
replaced from this country, s5,000,00O
Total, $1,000, 900.
Porto Rican exports to the United States,
s., ,250, 900, plus exports to Spain, most of
which would be diverted to this country
$3,0OO.0O. Total $3.50 0O0-principally
coffee, fruit and sugar, the latter being the
only valuable export now dutiable.
These figures show that practically the
only interests served by the continuation of
present conditions are the sugar interests.
while diversified interests in this country
and the interests of the inhabitants of the
acquired territory are sacrificed, not 10
mention the delay of prospective develop
ment and business investment of American
capital.
In this connection, 1t Is a matter worthy
of consideration that in Porto Rico, Ha-
waii and the Philippines. the climatic con-
ditions admit of the production of articles
such cannot be produced in this coun-
tries about s2l0, ,G01 600 annually. The ar
gument presented by commercial statistics
is thus in favor of the establishment of
the free intercourse of common territory
as speedily as possible between the United
States and the acquired possessions.

The French Naval War College.

The E,cole Superieur de la Marine, which
was organized for about the same purpose
as our Naval War College, appears to be
On the decline, that is 10 say, it is falling
into disfavor with French officers. The
competitive examination for admission to
the school is voluntary. and the decline of
its popularity is shown by the following
facts:
In 1896, the year the school was founded,
there were go candidates; in 1857 only 81;
in 1893, 3d. and this year the number has
fallen to 30, OF which six were not allowed
to compete because they had not the requi-
site service.
By reason of this diminution of the class
it is believed that the school will be aban-
doned, or, at least, suspended temporarily,
as the expense of maintaining the three
cruisers assigned to the school will be out
OF all proportion to the benefit derived
from it. The French authorities are max
ing investigations to the causes of the
disfavor in which the school appears to be
held.
