WASHINGTON.

The House. on Thursday voted a s445
maximum rate far armor plate per ton.
Both Senators Quay and Penrose We're
absent from their seats in the Senate,
that day, and the item of $40, 900 in
the river and harbor bill, for the in
provement of Pittsburg harbor was
stricken out. Senator Quay denied
that this item was stricken out of the
bill at his request, and in order that he
might have revenge upon the Pittsburg
Coal Exchange for endorsing Mr.. Dal-
zell for United States Senator; but there
is good reason to believe that 1t would
have been approved by the Senate Com
mittee had the Pennsylvania Senators
insisted upon it.
On Friday the compromise army bill
was introduced, and Congressman john
son violently criticized President Nc
Kinley's Boston speech.
Quays trial at Philadelphia was the
absorbing topic in official circles.
There is no doubt that when the
struggle at Harrisburg first began, Sen
ator Quay had the sympathy of the
leaders in Washington. There has
been, however, most decided change
in sentiment and some of the strongest
men in tbs Republican party now de-
clare that he should be retired to prl-
yate life. This reversion of sentiment
is due to Mr. Quay courting Democrat
ic influence and to the open support
given him by Congressman-elect Sib-
ley
Mr.. Quay's action in the Senate when
he voted directly against his party on
the Bacon Philippine resolution aid
against taking up the army bill was be-
lieved to have been solely for the pur-
pose OF currying favor with the Demo
Gratis in the Senate in the hope that the
latter might have influence with their
party in Harrisburg.
Mr.. Sibley's visit to Quay and his
avowed purpose of assisting in the lat
ter's reelection has further angered the
Republican leaders. 1t was regarded
there as proof that Sibley is trying to
discharge political obligation and re
pay Quay for aid the latter is alleged to
have given in accomplishing the defeat
of Congressman c. W Stone.
On Monday the compromise army bill
passed the Senate by vote of 30 to 13
The bill increases the Regular Army to
100, 900 men until July 1, 1901, when 1t
must come down to 27 600.
Yesterday, the Senate passed the
House bill to pay Spain $50, 900, 900.

Another Postponement.

Upon the application of District AT
| tornev Rothermel. the trial of the Quay
conspiracy cases, growing out OF the
failure of Peoples Bank, were on Mon
dav continued until April 10.
The District Attorney himself sug-
gested the new das. and Judge Beitler,
while doubtful of his authority to name
a dav for the trial which would come IN
the term of service of a Judge other
than himself in the Quarter Sessions
Court gave his consent and directed
the cases against Senator Quay and his
son. Richard R. Quay, to be carried
over.
Whatever may have been the reasons
which prompted Mr.. Rothermel to post
none the trial. he declined to reveal
them to the public He stated them to
Judge Beitler before the opening of the
Court Monday, and the idea of deferrlng
the trial was fully approved by the
Judge, but, in announcing his intention
not to call the cases at present. the Dis
trict Attorney merely stated tnat' for
reasons which he did not propose to
make known. he had decided TO let
them 90 over until the April term.
Mr.. Rothermel furnished the Court
with sufficient cause for continuing
them beyond the March term by calling
attention to the fact that during next
month the Judges assigned to the Court
of Quarter Sessions and Oyer and Ter
miner would be engaged with the near
ings of applications for liquor licenses
but gave no reason for not gong on
with the trial. Monday, when be had
previously notified the counsel for the
defense he would be ready to proceed
Senator Quay and his son, Richard
R. were in court with their counsel,
Rufus L. Shapley, \. S. L. Shields and
David T. Watson, of Pittsburg. The
last named lawyer was engaged TO
argue the legal points involved. The
defense was ready to go on with the
trial and so declared. After Mr.. Roth
ermel had stated his purpose to put II
off. the lawyers for the Quays took care
to make known in open court that they
had no intimation of the Common
wealhts desire for postponement until
they had summoned their witnesses,
made every preparation for trial and
come into court with every expectation
of proceeding without futher delay
The action of the District Attorney
created somewhat of a sensation in
nolitical and official circles and rumors
were soon flying thick and fast to the
effect that he had declined to try the
cases because the jury panel had been
tampered with.
Whatever may have been the source
of these rumors, they had no origin, nor
could they be confirmed, in the District
Attorneys office Mr.. Rothermel him
self refused absolutely to discuss them
or anything relating to the panel OF
Jurors, and his assistants preserved a
like reticence. Lawyers who expressed
opinions on the subject were not inclin-
ed to take any stock in the idea that at
tempts at jury fixing had halted the
trial. since they said, if such had been
the case, the District Attorney would
undoubtedly have laid the matter be
| fore the Court and asked for judicial
| inquiry.

The SaryersyilIe Institute.

The Farmers Local Institute held at
Saryersville on Feb. 24th and 25th, 1899,
was a grand success Every body ap-
peared to be interested, judging from
the immense crowd of people attending
each session. To show the interest tax
for another institute to be held in April
or early May, to further discuss some of
the topics that are of vital interest TO
each and every farmer. Some of the
subjects discussed were: The Use
and Abuse of Fertilizer" which was
handled without gloves by c. F. Smith,
NJ. n Greer, VIM. Wolf, w. II. Grabe,
G. F. Easley and others; The Cheap
est and Best Way to Restore Fertility
to Our Farms, by J. B. Bricker-prin-
cipally through the use of crimson clo-
yer; Corn, and its Cultivation, by NJ.
n, Greer; Poultry for the Farmer,
by w j. Fox in which he showed that
by extensive experiments that the
White Plymouth Rocks were the chick
ems for all purposes, showing the best
results in egg production; Lime, its
Action, Use and Abuse, byJ. w. Falk-
ner which was very ably handled; Best
Breed of Hogs for the Farmer" by w.
Fl Milliron which ceptered on the Po-
land China as the best, all-around, hog
for the farmer to raise; Should Agri-
culture be Taught in our Public
Schools" " by Lewis Holeman and Sam |
Hepworth; Advantages, Care and Pro
fits in Sheep, was very nicely explain
by G.. F. Easley; j. w. Powell showed
how the farmer could lessen the bur
dens of the farmers wife.
The Institute was very agreeably en-
tertained by vocal and instrumental
music by the Misses Saryer and Easley
Samuel Gardner, VIM. Duerr, James
Saryer and others. The Drummer
Boy" was read by Miss Harvey; Miss
Helen Painter declaimed "A Liberal
Education for the Farmer" recitation
by Miss Dovie, THE Farmer, suited
the occasion very well. l must not for
get the Irish Letter" by John McCur-

The Last POstponement.

The continuance by the District At
torney of Philadelphia of the Quay case
until the April term has caused a gen
eral expression of surprise all over the
State. Speculation concerning it ranges
all the way from intimations that the
District Attorney had discovered that
the jury panel was tampered with, to
the opposite theory that compromise
has been arranged. The representatives
of the defendants profess great disap-
pointment at the postponement.
Another theory and it can be no
more in the absence of definite proof
tinuance of the case carries the trial
well past the date when the McCarrell
jury bill will come up in the House.
The remarkable aspect Of the case so
far has been the efforts by which it has
been postponed over critical periods.
Few people looking back over the rec
ord can believe that the writ of certio-
rari was taken out with any real expec-
tation that the Supreme Court would
quash the indictment. But it wGu Id
put off the trial long enough to permit
the hope of passing the Jury bill, and it
would certainly carry it past the end of
the term OF District Attorney Graham
whose ability and earnestness in the
prosecution were beyond dispute.
The attitude of the present District
Attorney in the case has been a sub
ject of conjecture. The absence of any
arrangement to have Mr. Graham con-
duct the prosecution Joined with this
postponement is not calculated to allay
the doubts. 1t is quite possible that
the District Attnrney may have had
valid reasons for his action, but he
must show decided vigor in the future
trial CT the case if he wishes to indicate
his sincerity in the prosecution.-Pit

Death of IL. j. Haywood.

Ben. j. Haywood, ex-State Treasurer,
died at the Carver House in Sharon last
Thursday morning.
He was troubled with valvular dis
ease of the heart, resulting from the en-
largement of that organ. This had de-
ranged its functions, so that the lungs
became involved by sympathetic action.
For months he had not had that rest
which restores the lost energies, and on
account of the constant strain upon the
nervous syetem his appetite failed him.
Overwork had much to do with his
late illness, and it was only upon the
advice of his physicians that he relin-
quished his duties as Cashier of the
Treasury last December. Since that
time he had been confined 70 his bed.
Last Summer he made a trip to the
Omaha Exposition, hoping to regain his
health, but the tremendous strain he
was under completely broke him down.
He was brought to Sharon about four
weeks ago. but instead of improving he
grew worse, and from that time until
the end came his failure was rapid, and
the fatal termination of his illness was
certain.
