FATE OF EX-SENATOR QUAY
NOV RESTS IN THE HANDS OF THE
 JURY.
Case Given to It nt 3 o'clock Yesterday Afternoon-NO Verdict Reached at 10 P. m. and the Jury Was Locked Up Until Morning-Gcneral Belief That There Will be an AcquittnI.

Philadelphia, April 20.-The case of ex-United States Senator Quay was placed in the hands of the jury prompt ly at o'clock this afternoon and no verdict being reached by 10 o'clock at night the jury was locked up until morning. There was no intimation other than mere rumor, as to the atti- tude of the jury. The generally eX- pressed opinion of those who have fol- lowed the trial since it's beginning on Monday of last week is that the ver- dict will be an acquittal. Many, how ever, look for disagreement. There are but few who express the belief that verdict of guilty will be given
 To-day's proceedings were confined en- tirely to argument and speeches by counsel, the defence decided to present no testimony. MT. Wat son began the day by requesting that the case be withdrawn from the jury and verdict of not guilty rendered. He contended that the commonwealth had utterly failed to make out case against MT. Quay. Judge Riddle said the issues were those for jury to decide and he ruled that the case be gone through with in the usual way MT. Shields had announced the defence's in
 tention to give no testimony and under the rules of the court, he thus obtained the privilege of making but one, the last speech to the jury. District Attorney Eothermal spoke for one hour; MT. Shields followed for one hour and three quarters, and Judge Riddle charged the jury in nine minutes. He did not go into the evidence. He said the case had been ably conducted and he would leave the decision to the judgment of the jury. At first his charge appeared to be a shade against Quay, but as he proceed ed, 1t was apparent that the impression the jury must get from his words was one of impartiality on the judges part.

a MONUMENT FOR DEWEY.

Call that he appoint a committee to take
charge OF the work OF raising money Tor the purpose
of erecting in this city monument 10 Adliir A ai
Dewey. The committee, to be appointed to-day VIII
organize and set about its task and there can De
little doubt that it will find the public cordially re-
sponsive to the enterprise.
By reason of the duties which his office is likely to
impose upon him in the future, the home OF the Ad-
ral will OF necessity be in the East at the national
capital. His most notable monument, however,
should be on this coast for his victory was Pachc
Ocean event. and its notable effects will be Wis
ible in the expanding commerce and growing su-
premacy of the United States on that ocean to whose
waters San Francisco is the nations chief gateway
While there will be liberal contributions made in
California to the Eastern movement undertaken to
provide mansion for the Admiral, such donations
will be so small part of the sum raised they will not
fairly represent Western gratitude and admiration for
the hero In fact they will be lost sight OF in the
larger giving of the East, and California and her SIS
ter States of the will get comparatively little
credit for what is given in that way. monument
in this city, however, would be unmistakably West
manifestation of honor to the hero, and would
therefore reflect full credit upon those by whose
energy, patriotism and liberality it was raised
1t is hardly necessary to point out to the people of
San Francisco and of California the debt OF gratitude
they owe to Dewey for the promptness with which he
destroyed the Spanish fleet crushing the naval power
OF Spain in the Pacific and thus removing at once all
fear OF assault upon commerce and all menace to
our coast cities. Rarely has any community in time
OF been promptly or more signally freed
from all possibility OF danger by single great mill
tary achievement than this city by the glorious
triumph of Manila Bay
1t is certain that had movement been started last
May to provide monument for Dewey the money
would have been subscribed within week. Such was
the ardor and the enthusiasm of the people at the
time. That excitement is gone but the deeper sent-
ments OF honor and gratitude remain To these the
monument committee will appeal They will ask the
people no more than to join in movement toward
erection in this city of memorial which will be per-
petua reminder of the feelings OF patriotism and 10y
atty which animate this generation, and to such an
appeal there be but response on the part of
the liberal and the loyal.

AGRICULTURE IN ALASKA.

I JHILE the Alaskan boom has presented some
\AI glowing views OF agricultural we'll as mining
possibilities, the outer world may well be
skeptcal concerning them. Even the Aaskans them
selves doubt them, and the newspapers which now
representing the Territory far from being in ac-
cord the subject.
A late issue OF the Alaska Dispatch of Juneau, for
example contains an account OF a speech recently de-
livered before the Alaska Geographical Society by
Bishop P. T. Rowe, from which it appears the
Bishop takes quite sanguine view OF the subject
He is quoted having said that along the Yukon in
the region around Nulato, cranberries found in
abundance also blue berries salmon berries and red
currants. Potatoes turnips lettuce beets and peas
are grown. The Bishop ate green peas at Nuato.
He mentioned these things as showing the possible
resources in the land of the midnight SUM- Grass at
the mission grows from four to six feet high, and at
Fort Sekirk he potatoes growing, but they have
to be protected from the frosts The winters are
not much longer than in Northern Michigan, but the
moss varies from six to eight inches in depth and it
keeps the frost in the ground
The same paper reports Professor c. C. Georgesen,
who has had charge OF the governmental investiga-
tions into the agricultural possibilities OF Alaska,
saying my efforts were successful, beyond ex-
pectations l succeeded in growing a long line OF
early vegetables perfection not often exceled in
the States, and, addition IN maturing OATS barley
and fax all OF frst-cass quality, although OF
these things were seeded until the latter part OF May
Grass and clover of various kinds grew prodgiously
from seed, and proved beyond doubt the adaptation
Of the soil and climate for the growth OF forage for
cattle. Oats attained height OF over five feet and
matured quality seldom equaled.' The same is true
of barley. Fiber fax grew than yard tall and
matured seed fully
Such statements as those in the Dispatch likely
to encourage people who wish free farm in the land
Of the aurora boreas, but the Alaska Miner pub
ished in the city, gives strong warning to all
who think Of entering upon the venture Comment
ing upon advertisement in paper in St. Louis
offering inducements persons to purchase Govern
ment land in Alaska, the Miner says it is nothing
short OF attempt to deraud the public, and adds:
How often say that this is not country of
farms that its resources OF mining and not of
an agricultural nature? The Government has an
agent at Stka who is experimenting with yoke
of oxen. He is attempting to prove that crop OF
some kind or other can be raised. There are indi-
vidual spots in Alaska where cereals can be raised
and Kodiak Island is pretty well covered with grass
but does this constitute farming district? If it is
fact that crop failures unknown is because there
have never been any crops to fail"
The conclusion OF the whole matter is: Alaska is
pretty good place to stay out OF unless you have
money enough to burn to keep you while there
and some left to come home on after having had
enough of the experience.

NEW IRELAND" PROGRAMME.

q CCORDING to special correspondent of the
I ! London Chronicle the effect of the self
government acquired by the counties of Ire
land under the act will be the Inauguration of
New Ireland movement which will be directed
toward industrial development much as toward
political home rule. His claim is that while the
county governments cannot themselves directly ac-
complish what is desired, they nevertheless furnish
organized official bodies to lead the people in the
struggle for the desired Improvements
The programme outlined is a most extensive one.
The correspondent points that by reason of the
fact that farmers in other countries have been ma
terally aided by their Governments in improving their
methods of agriculture while the Irish farmers have
had such aid the rural industries Of Ireland have
been we'll nigh destroyed The result is the British
market imports from foreign lands much that ought
to be obtained from Ireland
