book, Barlow declared, is now IN the
same condition as when it came into
his possession. Shapley endeavorei to
make witness say there was among the
papers an envelope with the Harrisburg
post mark addressed to President Me-

urer Haywood to the bank, saying if
the loan of 100000 is made to Senator
Quay's son he will keep the state bal
ance at 100000 until payment Of the
loan. The prosecution claims that al

been the custom of Haywood. Judge

Go to the Penitentiary.
Walter N. King, who was received at
the penitentiary last night, was the
Santa Fe freight conductor found gull
ty of breaking into freight cars while
going over the mountain near Ration

chandse that he ripped open in August

man, pleaded guilty to the charges
against them, and King was sentenced
to one year in the penitentiary, while
James will be sentenced later. Head
Brakeman Downen, charged with the
same crime, was acquitted A cache
was found in the mountain nearby,
where considerable miscellaneous prop
erty was recovered. The merchandise
consisted of dry goods, shoes, whiskey,
cigars, revolvers, tobacco, clothing, etc.
In ferreting out the thefts, the railroad
detectives checked shipments from the
initial point to the destination, getting
the names of the train crews handling
the various shipments and movements
of the cars, and after checking for
nearly forty days found that about all
of the cars being pillaged were handled
on the New Mexico division by Con-
ductor King and Brakemen Downen

MATT. QUAY'S TRIAL.
The Ex-senator from Pennsylvania
on Trial at Philadelphia on a
Charge Of Conspiracy.
RECEIVER BARLOW WITNESS
The Defense Maintains That the Charges
Against Ex-senator Quay Are the
Result of Political
Conspiracy.

Philadelphia, April 1.-THE trial of
ex-senator Quay on charges of conspir-
acy began in earnest today. The sena
tor was apparently the most uncon-
cerned person in the room. Thomas
Barlow, receiver of the bank, who was
on the stand at adjournment yesterday
was cross examined by Mr.. Shapley.
Gordon identified the papers and
books placed in his possession by the
receiver of the bank, and said they are
in the same condition now as when he
received them. Shields endeavored to
show d connection between Gordon's
gubernatorial candidacy and his pos
session of letters compromising Senator
Quay, but the questions We're ruled out.
The district attorney offered in evidence
letters identified by Mr.. Tabor, saying
he would subsequently offer them. The
defense opposed the admission of let
ters. kilograms and books, on the
ground that they are not proper test-
mony. Rotherme, in support Of his po-
stion, presented some figures showing
that NJ. S. Quay borrowed from the
Peoples bank $1,9O6, 7O3, on which he
paid $2,41S.60 interest. The books also
interest on state deposits. Rothermel
admitted that many transactions eX-
tended back beyond the statutory limit,
but said that all go to prove the con-
nf tn la inn,
use of the state money in the Peoples
bank, extending over long period.
Shapley's line of questions indicated
a purpose to prove that the whole Fab
ric of charges against Quay was the re-
suit of a conspiracy. The witness was
asked the circumstances of the removal
of letters, papers and books from The
private desk of Cashier Hopkins. Bar
low said: March 80 a person in Harris
burg whom / do not now know, said to
me over the long distance Telephone:
An attempt will be made tonight to
take certain documents out of Hopkins
desk, so they had better be taken by
you l broke open the desk and took
tHeH out. Inc witness nOtl1leu Judge
Gordon of his intention the latter be-
ing the confidential advisor Of Ja1Ges
McManes. the president of the bank.
He left the documents in possession Of
Judge Gordon until early in Sept am-
ber Barlow denied any knowledge Of
photographing Quay's letters for he
use Of his political opponents. He said
he did not know that they had hem
shown to David Martin or that Judge
Gordon and John Wanamaker had
shown them to the Democratic national
committeeman, James M. Guffey, in the
effort to make Judge Gordon the Dem
ocratic candidate for governor of Penn
sylvania last year.
Shapley put long line of questions
to the witness, the obvious design being
to sustain the contention of the defense
that the memorandum books taken frorl
the private desk were private property,
and therefore not admissible as evil
dence. On redirect examination Barlow
said that banking commissioner Gilkson

IMPOSSIBLE AND UNNECESSARY.
Increased Production Of Gold in This Ooun-
try Has Side Tracked All Schemes for
Another International Bimetallic


New York, April 11.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: So far
as the report of the British Indian cur
rency commission tends to show, there
has been a serious consideration by the
American cabinet of the question of an
other international monetary confer
ence, or ratio for coinage of gold and
silver. However, this is misleading.
There is the highest authority for the
statement that there has been no Sc
rous consideration of the question by
the cabinet since the failure of the last
monetary conference. 1t is highly i'm
probable that the United States under
the present administration will take the
initiative for calling another. Director
Roberts of the mint, formerly in favor
of international bimetallism, says the
increased production of gold has made
such an agreement impossible and un-
necessary.
