Jury \Vas Out All Night—Verdict No
Surprise to the Accused—Congrat-
ulations Showered Upon Him In
Spite of Courtroonl Officials.

PHILADELPHIA, April 22.—Matthew
Stanley Quay was yesterday declared
by a jury of his peers to be not guilty
of the charge of conspiring to use fOI
his own unlawful gain and profit the
funds of the state of Pennsylvania de-
posited in the People’s bank of this city

This verdict was announced by the
f01eman of the jury just as' the hands
of the court1oom timepiece pointed to
11 o ’clock.

At the time the juzy came. filing intc
their‘ipiaces there were compaiatively
few people in the courtroom. The rigid
rules regarding admission that have
prevailed since the tiial began were
strictly adhe1ed to, and no one got by
thé‘dine of n atchmen guarding the cor-
iidOI‘ who was not provided with a
ticket. As a result of this arrangement
only about half the seats were occu-
pied when the verdict was rendered.

There was an attempt at a demon-
stration, but this was sternly repressed
by the court Officers, whose loud shouts
of “Order, order, Silence!” were ef-
fective in silencing those jubilant spir-
its whO Wished to give vent to their
satisfaction by cheering. The Officers
were unable, however, to keep back
those who struggled to get to Senator
Quay and congratulate him.

Chairs were upset, tables were brush-
ed one side, and hats were smashed by
the onrushing .crowd.

Senator Quay, with a broad smile on
his face, responded pleasantly to the
greetings and congratulations of those
who crowded around. A few of his po—
litical friends were there, and these
men were loud and sincere in their ex-
pressions.

When the jurymen had taken their

.seats in the box, the senator turned and

faced them.

The stereotyped “How say you, gen-
tlemen of the jury? Do you find the
prisoner at the bar guilty or not guil—
ty?” brought promptly from the fore-
man’s lips the words “Not guilty,” and
at this point Senator Quay flushed and
seemed momentarily as if about to be
overcome by the feeling of emotion that
was surging over him.

This was only for aninstant, howev-
er, and he was his imperturbable self
again as he smilingly responded to the
congratulations that were being heaped
upon him.

Senator Quay did not look at the jury
at all, or in any way express gratitude
to them for their verdict in his favor.
His only comment on the verdict was,
“Well, I expected it.”

Governor Stone Appoints Quay.
HARRISBURG, April 22.——Shortly
after noon Governor Stone appointed
Matthew Stanley Quay as senator, to
serve until the next 'session of the leg-
islature. The appointment is addressed
to the president of the United States,
and it is stated in the letter to be made
under the authority of clause 2 of sec-
tion 3 of article 1 of the Constitution of
the United States.

“7113' the Somers Failed.

BOSTON, April 22.--An Official of the
German navy department says the
United States torpedo boat Somers,
purchased in Germany before the war
and now on its way to New York on
board the Atlantic Transport line
steamer Manhattan, after the boat had
suffered a series of mishaps, contains a
number of novel features, Of which the
agents of the United States were in-
formed when she was purchased at the
Schichau yards, and he is of the opinion
that the experimental features fully ex—
plain the Somers‘ failure.

International Fair at 'ienna.

VASHINGTON, April 22.—The Unit-
ed States department of agriculture has

agricultural machinery fair will be held

ing and domestic animals and indus-

THE BEEF INQUIRY.

Instructionst of President McKinley

WASHINGTON, April 22.——The Wade '

court of inquiry devoted yesterday’s
session to reviewing testimony and last
night held another session for the pur-

beef investigation.
ing

inquiry which were delivered to the
members of the court on Feb. 20 last.
These instructions were read by Colo-
nel Davis in order to make them a
part of the record and are as follows:
“The character and quality of the

shipped to the soldiers, if good when
shipped, what the cause of its deteriora—
tion, if any? If the meat was doctored,

his officers have any knowledge of it or
means of knowledge? Was it the meat
of Commerce? Was it inspected by the
government inspectors as providedrby
law? W'as it an authorized ration in
the army? If good when purchased,
what made it bad? Was it anybody’s
neglect or fault, and if. so, whose?
VVhemunfit for use, if you should so
find, was the fact made known to the

If, after leaving the depot commissary,
it was not cared for and properly pre-
served, whose fault? Was it a suitable

Porto Rico? Was there anything bet-
ter that was practicable? W'ould it
have been prudent for our troops to
have made the expeditions to Santiago
and Porto Rico without the preserved
meats, either refrigerated or canned,
with which they were supplied? Could
the army with any certainty rely upon
the cattle on the hoof on those islands?
Did the commanding officers in Santia—
go or Porto Rico or the major general
commanding report during the war that
either the refrigerated or canned beef
was an unfit ration? When were these
reports first made and by whom? If
the allegations of the major general
commanding are established, I want the
court to find the cause and fix the re—
sponsibility for the fact, that the guilty
may be properly punished. Did the cat-
tle in Porto Rico make a. wholesome
ration? If the packers of the country
are guilty, it must be known. If the 0f—
ficers of the commissary department
are guilty, it must be known. If any
officer of the army is guilty, it must be
known.”

CARLISTS IN CUBA.

WOMEN

Especially Mothers

Are mpost competent to appreciate the
purity, sweetness, and delicacy of CUTI-
CURA SOAP, and to discover new uses for
it daily.

Its remarkable emollient, cleansing, and
purifying properties derived from CUTI-
CURA, the great skin cure, warrant its use
in preserving, purifying, and beautifying
the complexion, hands, and hair, and in
the form of washes and solutions for ulcer-
ative weaknesses, annoying irritations and
chafings, as well as for many sanetive pur-
poses which readily suggest themselves.

In many of the above conditions, gentle
anointings with CUTICURA, the great skin
Cure and purest of emollients, in addition,
will prove of astonishing benefit.
