PHILADELPHIA. April 1? . Vnxict. edly to alnioft every .person Interested, the proamnion In tit.o trial of ex.Vnited States Setmtor Quay for .conspiracy closed 111 case today uXlur nine days of clashes of oonnsel nnd the testimony largely of an cxiert mttttre. The gi-nerail expression of opinion had! been that the trial would ihe run through many more day, and when lMstrlct At. torney Roihormel announced that he had concluded there were express'ons of surprise from nil parts of the court room. Judite Riddle adjourned count until to morrow. In order that Quay's lawyers might hnvo time to consider wdiat steps they shall take with respect to the pre. sentatlon of theilr side. From the evidence presented it Is evi dent that the comnionweAlrh depends largely for a conviction upon the testi mony of He expert. Meyer Goldsmith, aa to his interpretation of accounts In the "red book." and other books of the Peo ple's bank, and upon the Jury's opinion of the books, papers, loiters telegrams and cthecka offered In evidence. As to what extent the testimony of the defense's expert, should he be called, may offset Goldsmith's testimony, re mnlns to fce aeen. The contention of the defense In argument and cross-examination 1ms been that the calculations of Goldsmith are not borne out by the books, but on the other hand show that Quay did not use the state money, or Uhr.t whaitever loans he received were made In the customary manner and backed by sufficient collaleral. m-oopr niniiTtiNDER war IN FRESNO'S CHINATOWN.

The New Whisky Trust Has a Source ot Revenue From the Government Whloh Means Millions to Them. LOUISVILLE. April 1?-The Courier Journal says: The American Spirits Manufacturing Company, which wl;h three other liquor trusis, Is to be consol. (dated with the Kentucky Distilleries and ! Waruhouse Company, has a new source jot revenue which will m.an millions of 'dollars to the combined whiskey inter ' ests. Spirits form the prime factor In the manufacture of smokelen powder. The government has negotiated with the company tor vast quantities of ihis pro duct to be used In the manufacture of this smokeless rowder. During the Spanlsh-Amerxnn war the Spaniards had a great advantage over the Americans on account of the fact that they used the smokeless powder exclu sively. During the battle of Santiago, the Americans were handicapped by the clouds of smoke from their own gun? which would hide the enemy fnm them. j Since the war. the United Stales govern. ment has taken up the manufacture of the smokeless powder ami a good supply Is now being made under the direction of the war department. Samuel Rice, president of the splrl;s trust took tne matter up win me om clals at Washington. As the result of Mr. Rice's efforts, a b'g contract was let by the government for spirits. The American Spirits Manufacturing Company controls all the principal spirit plants In the country and the company easily secured the contract. The first consignment of spirits Was ent east a short time ago. and amounted to be. tween SM.OfW and 400.000 callons. The greater part of the output of the com pany's plants will be used by the gov ernment for some time to come. PORTO RICANS PETITION M'KINLEV WASHINGTON. April 19.-Dr. Julllo Henna and M.

LEFT FOR DEAD BT NICARAGUA! 8OLDIER8. An American Burgeon Taken Prtxoner and Shot But Revives and Epe to Bluoflelds. NEW YORK. April 19.-A dHpalch to the Herald from Indon says: General Lawton's withdrawal from the PhlllDoine llsh permanent order In the Islands, have aroused much interest In England, where every roov in the attempt of the United State to subjugate the Filipino Is watched moat closely. The London newspapers comment freely upon tha effaot In the Untied States of Geoorai Lawton's decluraUon and tbe predicament of he president In regard J to the volunteers. The general tenor of 'the remarks in thaJt tba United States I must go on wttb the work until the pad- I flea lion of the archipelago Is asxured. Tbe Westminster Gaxett says: "It la instructive for us o have been I through M all to follow the development of American imperialism. The hot fit ; at this moment being followed by tha i cold fit. The truth Is. we suppose, that tbe task la found a more formidable one than the government supposed, and that President McKlnley. who ballc constant ly In fear of a reaction, shrinks from measures necessary to push It further. "The American cabinet haa suffered, like our own, from the lack of Intelligent anticipation of events before they occur. In the meantime, do not let us suppose that a temporary reverse or withdrawal means abandonment of the Philippines, for even the antl-lmperlallt-, nojlcy, as hitherto denned, is only theVpol'cy of going slow." The Globe says: "It seems to have teen assumed that nothln more than a mill rary promenade would be required to prod me permanent pacification In t,usn. If not throughout the whole group of i Inlands. "It Is natural, "therefore, that tbe sud den awakening from that unpleasant dream should gravely affect public opinion in the United Statse." ; expedition Discovers land previously vn known.
