AGAINST QUAY.
The Supreme Court Dismissed the Ap-
PlicntiOn I'm the Conspiracy Case for
u Writ of CertfOrari.


N Writ of CertiOrari.
Philadelphia, Jan. 1.-THE supreme
court yesterday, in an opinion hand
ed down by Chief Justice Sterrett, dis
missed the application in the Quay
conspiracy case for a writ of certior-
ari and placed the costs on the petit
tioners. The petition of the defend
ants, Senator NJ. S. Quay, r. r. Quay
and Benjamin J. Haywood, averred
that on account of political prejudice
they were of the belief that they
could not obtain fair and impartial
trial in the Philadelphia court of quar-
ter sessions when the suit against
them was instituted. There was no
dissenting opinion. The charge
against the defendants is that of con-
spiracy with John S. Hopkins, the
cashier of the Peoples bank (who
committed suicide in March last) in
the misuse of state funds on deposit
in that bank. The defendants were
placed under arrest in October last
and as a result of preliminary hear
ing were held in bail for trial.
The court holds that it has no au-
thority to review the action of the
court below on the demurrerS and the
motion to quash. The court says the
only other contention of the petition
ers that requires notice is that they
cannot have a fair and impartial trial
in the court of quarter sessions of
Philadelphia county where the in
dictments are still pending on issues
of fact raised by the defendants
pleas of mot guilty"
On this point the court says: "We
cannot assent to this proposition. On
the contrary we are satisfied that the
petitioners can and will have fair
and impartial trial in that court be-
fore a competent and unprejudiced
judge and n fair and impartial jury.
If we thought otherwise we would not
hesitate moment to send the indict-
ments to another jurisdiction for trial.

AND HUNTINGTON
It Is Asserted That the Speaker Has
Boasted He Will Kill All Ad-
ministration Measures.

NEW YORK, Feb 1S.-A Washington
special to the Journal says: The explana-
ton of the pact between Coils P. Hunt
ington and Speaker Thomas b. Reed,
whereby the latter is to kill the Near
aqua canal project and in return Hunting
ton is to deliver 132 delegates to Reed In
the next Republican national convention,
was read with much interest in official
circles Friends of the administration
who have hitherto decried to gossip re-
garding Reeds efforts to pull down NC
Kinley and elevate himself admitted the
truth of the stories.
Reed, who of late has grown incautlous,
declared at a recent dinner, according to
reliable information, that he would kill
every administration bill coming before
him. He denounced expansion. army re-
organization and the campaign in the
Philippines, While his views Were gem
orally known, it was the first direct
threat he had made, and his famtliars
bruited it about until it has come TO ad
mnistration ears.
From now until Congress closes Reed
may be expected to fight every bill which
has the executive Endorsement. The ad-
nlinistration is to be harassed at every
turn with all the power and influence
which. as Gar of the House, he is able
70 muster. In this way Speaker Reed
hopes to convince his friend Huntington,
and through him the trusts. that their
salvation lies in his (Reed's) political
elevation
