BREAK IN RANKS.

Philadelphia, April 1S.-The defense
had its innings today in the trial of
Senator Quay. Expert Accountant
Meyer Goldsmith, the commemorative
witness, was under a scorching fire Of
cross-examination all day. The result
justifies the opinion that the net work
Of evidence wrought by the prosecution
from the books of the broken bank.
tending to show any guilty participa-
ton by Senator Quay in the unlawful
use of the banks money, was very
much shaken by admissions the wit
ness was compelled to make under the
questioning of Attorney Shields. Near
ly all of the apparently damaging en-
tries attached to Senator Quay's name
or account in the bank, as testified to
yesterday were explained away or
greatly modified by the statements of
the commonwealth's own witness.
Taking up the allegation that Senator
Quay had borrowed $1S5,000 during the
Settlement periods" ending Oct. 81,
1897, the last settlement before the
bank closed, Mr. Shields forced from
Goldsmith piece by piece facts tending
to show that in nearly every instance
the amounts charged to Senator Quay
were really loans to other persons, pol
iticians mostly, for whom Quay en-
dorsed Rothermel claims that he had
clearly established the fact he started
out to prove, namely, that 100000 of
the state deposit in the bank was set
aside for the use of Senator Quay and
whether he used it himself or loaned it
to others, is not material in proving the
conspiracy.
Mr. Shields put a different complexion
on the entries in the red book by
compelling the witness to admit that
many figures were not proven by en-
tries in the regular bank books but
were the result of what he practically
Acknowledged to be his "guesses" at
the meaning of certain uninteliglble
figures written in the red book
While Senator Quay was listening in
fently to the cross examination, of the
expert, telegram was thrust into his
hand containing the announcement of
the break in his ranks at Harrisburg.
The senator carefully adjusted his
glasses and read the dispatch. Then a
half frown came over his features, and
his face turned from the witness to the
court room window, out of which he
gazed in a contemplative manner for
several minutes. He made no comment
to any of those seated near him on the
news the telegram conveyed.

The capture Of the Yorktown's men
was discussed with much feeling in ma
val circles. The misfortune was felt
with added keenness as the navy had
prided itself thus far on immunity from
reYerses. The admirars despatch OF
To-Day was the lfSL knOWleQBe tnAL the
department had that the Yorktown had
gone on this special mission to relieve
the Spanish garrion at Baler,
That the capture should have been
effected while the American forces were
on a mission of mercy toward the
Spaniards, rather than in the prosecu-
ton of a campaign, leo to the belief
that Spain would have no further
ground for questioning the good faith
with which the Americans were seeking
to relieve the condition of the Spanish
prisoners. Although the dispatch gave
no indication that Lieut.. Gilmore and
his men had lost their lives, yet great
anxiety was aroused by the mystery
surrounding their fate while in the
hands of an uncivilized enemy.
This is the first capture Of any Ann
orleans, military or naval so that it
is unknown how the insurgents will
treat our men. If civilized methods
were pursued an exchange could be
quickly effected as Gen. Otis has a large
number of Filipino prisoners, but the
insurgents have been aVerse thus far
to exchanging Spanish prisoners and
there is a question what they will do
with the Yorktown's men. The purpose
of the officials here is to spare no effort
to secure the speedy release Of our
men.

WANT ROGER WILLIAMS.

Banishment.


Boston, April 1S-A petition was in
troduced in the legislature by number
Of ministers today to revoke the sem
tence Of expulsion from Massachusetts
pronounced upon Roger Williams by the
general court in 1885. The petition Is
dated Dec. q. 1898.
The bin to authorize the replacing Of
the street railway tracks on fremont
street, came up for engrossment in the
House.
Nearly 30 members spoke. Nearly all
the Boston members were for the bill,
and the greater part Of the opposition
came from those outside the metropoli-
tan district
The bill was passed to be engrosS2d
by rising vote of l03 to 10.
The bill will probably be enacted
without any fight But it is regarded
as certain that Gov. Wolcott will veto
il. and if he does the bill viii probably
not be passed over his veto.

Yesterdays Ballot.

Harrisburg, Pa, April 1S.-Fourteen
votes dropped away from Senator Quay
at today's joint ballot, for United States
senator. The anti-Quay republicans
and the followers of Senator C. L. Ma
gee of Pittsburg, combined and cast
their votes for B. F. Jones of Pittsburg.
The break started with Senator Craw-
ford of Allegheny, who went from
Quay to Jones, and was followed by
Senators Magee of Allegheny, LOsch of
Schuylkill and Scott of Luzerne.
Senator C. L. Magee, in speaking of
his action, said: II believe the repub
lican party is greater than any man in
It. The republicans of Pennsylvania
want senator elected, and if one is
not elected. am satisfied it will mean
an awful political battle this fall, and
possibly defeat. Quay is an impossi-
bility, and he knows it just as every
other good citizen of Pennsylvania does
Tomorrow is the last day for taking a
Joint ballot. and l hope that between
now and then it will be possible to elect
q senator"

Right.

Washington, April 1S.-The army
court of inquiry has begun the framing
of it's report. It is regarded as certain
that the court will find that Gen. Miles
charges that embalmed or chemically
prepared beef was sent to the army
have not been sustained. The position
of the court is believed to be that the
testimony is conclusive that both the
refrigerated beef and the canned beef
were in good condition when delivered
TO the government, and continued 50
until issued to the troops, affected by
tropical causes, and to these causes OF
injury and these conditions the chief
cause of the trouble will be attributed.
