INFERIOR SCHEME.
New York Bankers Sheer at Boston Clear
ing Scheme.

New York bankers criticise the pro-
posed Boston plan for clearing country
checks. and say it is inferior to the
New York plan of charging for collec-
ton. a banker is thus quoted:
tine plan of the Boston people works
to the great disadvantage of the coun-
try bank, since it does not allow such
a bank to make any exchange charge
whatever. Furthermore, under the
Boston plan, all the country banks will
have no option but to join in with the
Boston scheme, as it will be within the
power of the central clearing house to
collect checks by mail or by express,
as found necessary.
This means that checks will be col
lected by express and must be paid
for in cash over the counter by any
country bank that does not fall in with
the scheme. This is a condition that
no country bank can stand, and conse-
uuently all these banks will be COM
pelled to keep large balances in Bos-
ton banks in order that they may re
nit at par by drafts on their Boston
correspondents

QUAY CASE BEGINS.
Jury Filled and the States
First Witness Examined
Yesterday.

Philadelphia, April Ex-senator Mat
thew S. Quay and his son, Richard R.
Quay, were called to the bar of the
couM of quarter sessions today and af-
ter many months of vexatious delay,
the trial of the two defendants was be-
gun. There was an entire absence of
any crowd either outside or within the
court room. Special cards of admis-
sion permitting only those directly in
terested in the case, witnesses, jurors
and newspaper men, had been issued
by the district attorney and counsel for
the defense.
Even members of the bar not in the
case were withheld admission. AS a
result of these arrangements, the court
room was but little more than half
filed. and the greater portion of those
present were witnesses.
Judge Craig Biddle, one of the Oldest
and most respected members of the
bench. was the trial judge. District
Attorney Rothermel after over two
hours had been spent in selecting a
jury elected to try the ex-senator first
on that one Of five indictments, which
charges Mr.. Quay and the late ex-
State Treasurer Benjamin j. Hay
wood with conspiracy in using the
state funds for their personal benefit
and profit and in a manner unauthor-
lied by law.
This action practically leaves the ex-
senator alone on trial. Beyond the Sc
lection of jury and the examination
of one witness. Thomas W. Barlow, re-
ceiver of the Peoples bank, nothing
was done today Mr.. Barlow led to
the first clash between counsel, and
apparently indicated that a determined
legal battle, replete with knotty points
of law. will be fought in the trial of
the case. The district attorney called
Mr.. Barlow to identify books and pa
pers found by him when he assumed
the receivership.
Mr.. Shapley, counsel for the defense,
undertook to cross-eXamine the wit
ness with respect to his knowledge of
whether certain books which the de-
Tense claims are missing, are included
in those testified to by the witness. This
was objected to, and after repeated
consultations among the counsel for
the defense and several other efforts
to obtain an answer to the question in
this form, it was abandoned, and Mr..
Shapley said Ee would begin his cross
examination in the morning.

Walker, "he knew beforehand that I

Mr.. Moss called for a. Mr. Dombossv
and Mr.. Selling. Neither were pres.
ent. Mr.. Moss said he would have to
commit some people for contempt ie
the absence of witnesses continued.
Leo Freedman was then sworn. He
said he was formerly in the lottery and
policy business. He said the policy
business was still going on He was
indicted twice. One of the indictments
was still pending. The other indlct.
ment was dismissed.
Freedman said the pending indict-
ment was q "blackmailing business
Freedman testified that he paid his
lawyer $500 for the dismissal Of the first
Indictment and had paid $500 on the
Gratz Dombossy, who said he kept a
saloon, testified that he loaned Freed
man the $780, 1t transpired that the
money had been paid to Morch Hoch-
stein, a politician, instead Of to Freed
mans lawyer. The committee then adj
journed until Friday.
At the beginning Of the second days
session Mr.. Moss stated that certain
disreputable individuals were going
about eXtorting money upon the plea
that they had been engaged to serve
subpoenas. According to Mr. Moss.
their plan was to withhold the spurious
subpoena for a consideration. II am
credibly informed" said Mr. Moss,
that quite a number Of hundreds of
dollars have already been secured in
that way. 1t has been told me that a
man by the name of Giblin and a man
named Grant are engaged in that work.
NOW, L want to say for the counsel
and for the committee that IL we can
lay our hands on any Individual who is
doing that, we VIII devote ourselves to
his prosecution"
During the progress of the session,
Dr. O'Sullivan said to the committee:
Richard Croker desires me to say
that he will be at the disposal of this
investigating committee at any time
up to April 1S, when he is to sail for
Europe" Mr. Morse evidently took
this for a challenge, and he promptly
informed DR.. O'Sullivan that Mr.. Cro-
ker's presence was desired at the verv
next meeting Of the committee. which
would be next Friday morning at 10
o'clock

IL we listen to the voice of the
charmer, or 90 to books on Cuba for
our information, we shall find that
the mineral resources of this island
include gold, silver, mercury, lead,
anthony, copper, chrome, iron, man
ganese, pitch, bitumen, and even coal;
but when we look for practical met
tallic results commensurate with
these varied mineral resources we
shall be disappointed.
The gold fiction is the most time
honored. for the original Spanish set
tiers expected to find gold mines in
Cuba. According to their historians,
.much gold was taken from this ISL
and ut the beginning of the conquest,
but it seems probable that most of this
was taken from the chiefs, or caciques,
of the Indians and very little from the
ground. lei Niagero Universal" Ma
drid, 1897, says: Some of this metal
fgoldD is still found at Holguin"
Whenever the existence of gold I'D
Cuba is discussed this mine" at Hol-
gum is invariably brought forward.
1t is true that some work has been
done at this point and little gold has
been extracted, but there has never
been any systematic exploration, and
there is nothing there which may be
dignified with the name of mine.
In like manner most of these min
eral resources fade away in the search

per iron and manganese remain. OF
most of the others listed above, it is
fair and proper to say that they have
been found but not worked 1t may
fairly be doubted if mercury and coal
have ever been found, although de
nunciations' Of mercury exist.
Copper occurs frequently, in greater
or less quantities, in the metamorphic
rocks which form a large portion of
the island of Cuba. The principal
occurrence is as chalcopyrite, in quartz
veins in the metamorphie rock, at the
village of Cobre, in the mountains
about twelve miles west of the city of
Santiago de Cuba The mines at this
point were discovered some three hun
hired years ago and We're worked to a
limited extent, but ALWAYS as crown
possessions or under royalties to the
crown. They were abandoned and
had been idle for more than century
when, in 1890, an English company re-
opened them and worked them systu
matically and actively, employing as
many as 1000 men. A railroad was
built from the mines to Santiago Bay.

er prosperity. Tie island is unques.
tionably fertile and productive. Its
mineral wealth has never been fully
measured. All of its opportunities for
culture and productivity have been
more or less handicapped by the pres
sure of Spanish disagreement and
the danger of frequent insur eetions.
Now the prospect is changed, and the
men of wealth are competing in lively
fashion for the cb&nce TO spend money
and to make money in consequence.
The latest effort is to secure control Of
the tobacco factories. along with great
areas OF tobacco lands Following the
present tendency, the projects in this
direction now on loot are OF the trust
sort with the main issues between
American and English capital. 1t
ought TO matter little or nothing to the
Cubans in their present plight whether
the money which IS to restore the in
dustrial prosperity of the island comes
from one side of the Atlantic or the
other Americans would naturally pre-
fer to see the hulk of the trade

Cubans-by American capitalists. But
from the Cuban poant of view the mat.
ter is of relatively slight importance.

is AGAINST REMARRIAeE.
Bishop Potter Declares Himself on
subject OF Divorces.

New York, Sept 2S.-Bishop Potter,
in an address to the Diocesan Conven-
ton Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church of New York, held in the
Church Of the Incarnation, on Madison
avenue, declared emphatically against
the remarriage OF persons who had
been divorced.
The Bishop began by touching on
the mooted question of divorces in the
church, which was warmly discussed
at the last convention. He said that
the church would doubtless always be
divided as to the authority of the
words relating to this subject in the
Holy Scriptures.
But meantime" he said, Athe sub
jeet has gained new aspect from
events to which / need not more par
tieularly refer here, which have I'M
doubtedly awakened in all sober-mind-
ed Christian people profound sense
of alarm and the consesus of opinion
among them. as to the necessity Of leg
islation which shall prohibit the remar
rage Of divorced persons under any
circumstances whatever has greatly
widened and deepened."

only safe course must be to prohibit
absolutely that which, while it might
be permissible if we could always be
sure that 1t had Scffptual justifica-
ton for 1t, is only wrong, and evil
when that justification, existing in
fact. exists only because it has been
fraululently obtained.
Here the judgment of eminent pub
licists and legal authorities concur. and
some OF them Of the foremost rank as
jurists and churchmen have agreed in
the opinion that the only safe canon,
in view of the tendencies painfully evil
dent among us, is one III which the
Church refuses remarriage to persons
divorced for any cause arising after
marriage. absolutely and universally.
''The institutions and obligations Of
marriage have come to be so lightly
regarded that now at length the least
thoughtful among us are beginning TO
realize the vicious tendencies in some
forty or fifty different commemorative
OF our composite and contradictory
legislation: and TO recognize that the
facility with which the marriage re-
lation may be taken on and put off is
menace to the foundations of society
and the jest of the civilized world"
