oUAY'S TRIAL AGAIN PUT OFF.
HIS FRIENDS ARGUE THAT 1T
SHOWS STATES WEAKNESS.

Quay's Counsel Says the Request of
the Prosecution shows There IL
Nothing in the Case-Judge Grant
ed the Request over Quay's Pro-
test-Senator PenrOse Says the
Prosecution Was the Outcome OF
Most ViIlainOus Conspiracy.
Several RumOrs AnOat.
Philadelphia, Feb. 27.-PolticaI circles
were shaken to the center by the unexpect-
ed postponement of the Quay trial to-day,
and there Is speculation in every quarter
as to the causes which brought it about.
There is little doubt that both sides were
ready 90 so on. All the parties were on
hand and everything was apparently in
readiness when District Attorney Rother-
mel arose and asked Judge Better TO post
pone the trial, because the commonwealth
Is not ready"
As soon as the sensation caused by this
announcement had subsidized, Messrs Shields
and Shapley, counsel for Senator Quay and
his son, put in a vigorous protest against
further delay, but the court granted the
request, and fixed April 10 for the trial.
When questioned afterward, the district
attorney declined to give any reason for
the postponement, but added that he sub
mitted the entire subject 10 Judge Batter
before making the application, and the
judge had approved the reasons. He add
ed significantly. that the postponement
was a duty to the commonwealth. Sena-
tor Quay's counsel had this to say:
Nothing in 1t, Says Counsel.
1.-THE fact of the matter Is that there is
nothing whatever in the case. Our ex-
perts have examined the books and docu,
ments. They We're mutilated false and a
fraud upon their face. We are prepared
to prove conclusively that the entries i'm
plicating Senator Quay and his son were
made six months after the alleged con-
splracy had been consummated, and the
| fruits. If any, had been reaped."
Senator Quay declined to say anything
| about the case, except to express his dis
| appointment at the delay, but Senator PEN
rose made statement tonight, in which
he says, among other things:
PenrOse Expected 1t.
II am not surprised at the outcome OF
Senator Quays case Every one who has
known the facts of this controversy has
realized that the prosecution has been the
outcome of one of the most viilalnous po-
litical conspiracies ever entered into to de-
stroy public man. There never was
anything In the case against him, and l
doubt whether any serious thought was
ever entertained that a conviction could
be secured The political effect of the
prosecution was the object In view Had
he not been a candidate for reelection
for United States senator. no one would
ever have thought of prosecuting him in
connection with the affairs of the People $
Bank"
Rumors were afoat all day; one that
the trial had been postponed because the
death of former State Treasurer Hay
wood had minimized the chances of SEN
ator Quay's convictions; and another
which gained the greater credence, that a
member of the jury panel had informed
the district attorney of an attempt at
impersonlflcation.

From Leslle's Weekly.


Young men who come into a fortune of
100000 on their twenty-first birthday
are rare enough to be interesting. Their
characters and opinions even are impor-
tant, for the reason that $l0000,000 carries
with it great power, which may be used
for good or for evil, not only to the pos
SCISSOR of the money, but also TO the COM
munity at large. The indications are that
Frank Gould, to whom attainment OF ma
jority has just brought a fortune of ten
millions, will put his money to good use.
There Is no probability that any of It will
be squandered for Frank Gould inherits
his fathers strong common sense and
quiet tastes He has no bad habits, nor
even expensive ones. He is much more in

his money Is invested than in any Of the

In reply to Mr. Simpson. Populist of
Kansas, as 10 whether he was speaking
by authority Of and in defense of the Pres
ident, Mr.. Grosvenor said that he was
speaking upon his own authority as he
always did.
Mr. Grosvenor defended the Presidents
policy in the Philippines. In conclusion
he said:
Il protest against discussing who Is
right and who is wrong when my brothers
and your sons are being shot down in
battle warn my friends upon the other
side that they are hurting nobody but
themselves. The country will place but
one construction upon their attitude. The
American people will never retire upon the
demands of an enemy in the front" pro
longed Republican applause)
CarmacI's Sharp Reply.
Mr.. Carmack, Democrat, of Tennessee.
replied briefly to Mr.. Grosvenor. He held
up to ridicule the absurd charge that Dem
ocrats were firing into the rear of om
soldiers.
No honest man said he ever made such
a charge, and none ever believed it. If
such charge was made it was the act
great question down to the level of his
capacity. Democratic applause0
Inc Democrats We're the friends of the
soldiers, he continued but the soldiers
had nothing to do with the policy of the
administration which the Democrats criu-
cized. The soldiers went where they were
ordered, but he contended that they were
being treated unfairly. They had enlisted
IN the cause of liberty and humanity. They
We're being retained to foster greed and
ambition. Democratic applause)
The American people, he insisted. had a
right to know what the policy of this gov
eminent was to be.
Burke Takes Another View.
Mr.. Burke, Democrat, of Texas, created
considerable enthusiasm on the Republic
can side by his declaration that we held
the Philippines by right of conquest and
had as much right there as we had in
Porto Rico He took no stock in Agui-
naldo, he said. When the rebels stopped
shooting down American soldiers 1t would
be time to talk to Aguinaldo and his
crowd.
Mr. Henry, Democrat of Texas, asked
Mr. Burke to define his position relative
to the Philippines, and in reply the latter
had read the resolutions of the conven-
ton that nominated him, opposing the
hauling down of the American flag at Ma
Mia. He would, he said, like TO see the
FilipinoS eventually govern themselves,
under the protection of the American flag.
After some further remarks by Messrs.
VandiVer, Democrat, of Missouri, Vincent,
Populist, of Kansas. and Fleming, Demo-
crat of Georgia, the fortifcations appro-
priation bill was passed.
The conference report upon the Indian
appropriation bill was adopted without
division.

New York, who died at Hot Springs, Va,
