The San Francisco call., 1899-04-16

District Attorney RothermeI of Meyer
Goldsmith precipitated the battle which
routed the forces of the defense on the
point at issue.
The decision was based entirely on
the answer of the expert to the Ques-
ton, DO you, in your opinion as an
expert, from an examination of the
book known as the red book consider
1t book of the bank?" and Mr. Gold
smiths reply, 1T is undoubtedly a book
of the bank"
The combined wisdom and skill Of
Mr.. Quay's counsel was directed at the
witness in ss-eXamination. He was
made to admit that there were many
clerical errors in the book; that the
pages were not numbered; that many
of the entries were in lead pencil; that
he never knew of a bank keeping en-
tries in such manner, and that ths
banks regular books contained no ref
erence to the red book. It was just
after the expert had finished his testi-
mony to-day that the forces lined up
for the final test.
David Watson of Pittsburg in clear,
compact and concise manner presented
the objections in a mastery and elo-
Quent manner. The District Attorneys
reply was remarkably brief and to the
point. He maintained that it was
book of the bank according to an ex-
pert, because a thorough understand
ing of the affairs Of the bank could not
be reached without it. Judge Biddle's
decision sustained the District Attor-

PROSECUTION OF
SENATOR QUAY
Telling Evidence Has
Been Admitted.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


PHILADELPHIA, April Is. - The
prosecution in the trial of United States
Senator Quay succeeded to-day in hav-
ing admitted as evidence the books
found in Cashier Hopkins desk after
the Peoples Bank failure, and on the
pages of which the commonwealth al
leges will be found the evidences of
conspiracy between Mr.. Quay. late ex-
State Treasurer B. ]. Haywood and
John S. Hopkins, the dead cashier.
These books are the famous 'red book. 3"
over which the legal battle as to its
admissibility has waged since the early
part of the week and which ended to-
day in complete victory for the pros
ecution, and the others are those known
as the BLACK book" and the blue
book"
In the red book" is is charged by the
prosecution, will be found calculations
by Hopkins of interest on State funds
on which interest was paid to State
Treasurer Haywood and to Senator
Quay.
The "black book" contains records
and entries pertaining to stock trans
actions alleged to connect the defend
ant with Hopkins in using State funds
for speculation.
The blue book" is asserted to be a
record of individual loans made by
Cashier Hopkins. and 1t is charged that
it will show that Senator Quay was
loaned money without security.
Throughout the week there has been
skirmish after skirmish between coun-
sci as the line of evidence drew closer
to the subject matter in the red book.
The placing on the stand yesterday by

Ger to hold the office of Governor Cen
eral of a colony in the history of this
country, and it is conceded that no bet
ter selection could have been made
from the navy than this appointment.
Guam administration officials con-
cede, will give little trouble either TO
the new Governor General or this Gov
ernnent The officers required to ad-
minister affairs will be few in number,
and where possible the policy inaugu-
rated in Cuba will be adhered to of ap-
pointing to these places natives COM
petent and honest. Strict supervision,
however, will be maintained by the
American officials.
With the arrival of the Yosemite in
about sixty days the labor of creating
adequate quarters for the American
colony will begin. Guam has already
been selected as a naval coaling station
by the Navy Department and contracts
were awarded several weeks ago for
the location of suitable piers, ware
houses and coal sheds for receiving
large quantities of coal. 1t will event
ually be an important stopping place
for vessels en- route from the Pacific
Coast to Manila, Samoa and Australia,
and with the station at Pearl Harbor,
Hawaii, one at Pago-Pago, near Apia,
and another at Cavite there will be
facilities for coaling ships on the Pa
cific unequaled by any foreign power.
Aside from Great Britain the United
States now holds coaling stations or
cessions of land upon which to estab-
lish them, equal TO those of all the
other nations combined. There is prac-
tically no power that so completely
dominates the Pacific now as this coun-
try. One year ago no steps had been
taken to even erect coal sheds at Sa-
moa, while now work is practically
progressing at all stations.

The announcement Of the successful
establishment of the native government
in the island Of Guam is a matter of
deep satisfaction in official circles, and
especially the information that the ma
tives are most friendly disposed toward
this country. AS these people are
known TO be Of a higher degree of In
te1ligence than the native Filipino and
a finer race generally, there is no ap-
nrehension that the least trouble will
be given or that they will not be amen
able to American influences and read

ernment. While it is not stated in Ad-
miral Dewey's cablegram the nature Of
the local government created, it is be-
lieved that Captain Taussig has set
