Quay Disappointed.


Senator Quay, on leaving the court
room, expressed his disappointment at
the unexpected deferring of the trial.
Mr.. Shap!ey was also considerably per-
turbed. Touching on the evidence adj
duced at the preliminary hearing, Mr..
Shapley said the prosecution had placed
much Importance on the entries in the
memorandum book of Cashier Hopkins,
which showed a number of credits to
the account of Senator Quay and indi-
Gated many transactions between Hop
kins and the senator. Information had
recently come into the possession of Mr..
Shapley, which. he declared, proved
conclusively that these entries were
wholly false. They would never be ad-
mitted as evidence by the court as their
falsity could be clearly proved. In
vestigation, he continued, had shown
that Hopkins for a long time had been
defrauding Senator Quay and many en-
tries in the memorandum book found
in his effects had been made for the
purpose of deceiving not only Senator
Quay, but also the officials of the bank.
Mr.. Shapley said he entertained no
doubt of the prompt acquittal of his
clients when the case shall come to

Philadelphia, Feb. 27.-The Outpost
poned trial of United States Senator
Matthew S. Quay and his son, Richard
K. Quay, on charges of cons piracy in the
misuse of the funds of the state on de-
post in the Peoples bank for their own
profit and gain was called before Judge
Better in the court of quarter sessions
of Philadelphia county. Though inter-
terest in the trial was intense through
out the city, there was no crowding in
the courtroom because of an order is
sued by the court that only the law
yers directly interested in the case, the
panel of witnesses and limited num-
Der of newspaper men should be ad-
rcitted. Senator Quay, with his son,
entered the courtroom accompanied by
their counsel, Rufus z. shapley, A. s.
L. Shields and David 7. Watson of
Pittsburg. The presence of the latter
was surprise to those in attendance,
as it was generally understood that he
!lao retired from the case.
Asked for a Postponement.
When questioned on the subject Mr..
Shields stated that Mr. Watson was
present only to make argument on any
legal points which might arise. Dis
trict Attorney Rothermel and his assist
ants held brief consultation, at the
conclusion of which the district at
torney arose and. addressing the court,
said that for reasons which he did not
care to state at present, he desired that
the trial of the Messrs. Quay be post
poned. He was not ready to proceed
with the trial now. He stated further
that as the Judges of the court would be
engaged for the greater part of the
present month in, hearing the liquor
license applications. he would ask that
the date for this trial be fixed for April
TO- Mr.. Shapley, of counsel for the de-
feLse, opposed the motion. He said
their witnesses had been subpoenaed
and every preparation to bring the trial
to an immediate conclusion. A post
ponement at this time, he said would
cause great Inconvenience, and would
be unfair to his clients Judge Better,
hoMcve announced that he would
grant the motion, as the district at
|.tolney was not prepared to proceed.

Paulian spirit, and, right or wrong, as
may be his views, his sincerity is ques-
toned by no one. DR.. Heron first
brought himself into public notice by
articles published in several religious
periodicals, among them an address
in the Christian Union, entitled "The
Message of Jesus to Men of Wealth"
This was afterward used as booklet
by the Christian society. AT this time
DR.. Heron was pastor of a small
church in an obscure town in Mime
sofa. He was called to be assistant pas
tor of the Congregational church at
Burlington, Ia, and his ministry there
was very successful. He was installed
in Burlington in 1891, and from that
time his name became nationally ia
nous. In 1893 DR.. Heron was made
professor of applied Christianity in
Iowa college (Congregational), which
was endowed for him by Mrs. T.. d.
Rand, of Burlington. Since his appoint
ment to this chair DR.. Heron has lee
tured in many cities, and has written
freely along his lines of thought. lie is

responsive, and has a fiattering lSnowl-
edge of the country to which he is
accredited, its laws and internal af-
fairs. Like so many of the newly-ap-
pointed oriental ministers, he speaks
English Auently, having taken de-
gree at Harvard. His service in the
diplomatic corps of his country has
been one of distinction and has won
for him rapid and well-deserved pro-
motion. He was especially valuable to
his government during the war between
China and Japan, and as administrator
of the province of Antung made an en-
yiable reputation. In regard to the
relations between this country and his
own. Mr.. Komura said shortly after
his arrival here:
"The political relations between

as sojourners, to return to their native
i land when they have accumulated carr
i ings. cannot see anything in the flu
ture which threatens to disturb the
) good feeling which now exists between
Japan and the UnitedsStates.'
Mr.. Komura lacks none of the at
, , tributes that make successful diplo
} matist, and it is not to be doubted tina
the friendly relations at present exist
t ing between the land of the milSado an,
the United States will be strengthens
